The garment pictures show you a number of colours made up into Bloomers. However, there are many more colours available - 31 in total, grouped into 4 charts. The last chart, MC4, shows colours of which we have VERY little fabric stock left.
How to order your Made to Order Sturdy Linen Bloomers:
The HiLo Bloomer does its name justice, giving swagger and swing when you walk. It can be worn in 3 different ways: full-length, tied folded to a billowing bloomer or tied scrunched up at the sides.
Available in 2 lengths to cater for a wide variety of body heights as well as wearing styles. The Regular length HiLo's have 2 large pockets, the Long length comes with 4 pockets.
Hi-Lo's are available in our 100% pre-washed linen as well as a small selection of wool.
The Slow Wardrobe sizes
We follow our own sizing system, recognising that the traditional system of "ladies dress-sizes" does not account for body shape and height. See how The Slow Wardrobe sizes relate to body measurements HERE.
Trousers
These garments are designed to fit a very wide range of sizes and heights, from a UK size 10 to 28. Check these garment measurements to give you an idea of their dimensions. All trouser and skirt lengths are measured from the top of the waistband down to the bottom of the hem, along the side seam.

Custom sizes
We do everything we can to be truly size-inclusive. We can highly individualise your Layercake, by adapting the standard fit and/or choosing a non-standard fabric/colour.
Find out more about this service HERE.Linen Care & Washing Instructions
Every Layercake has washing labels sewn into them, usually in the left side-seam. All our linen is pre-shrunk, unless stated otherwise and can be machine-washed at 40º C and either line-dried or machine-dried. If you machine-dry them, take them out of the dryer as soon as it finishes and hang them up straightaway, then you will not have to iron them.
Our Linen
Linen is one of the world's strongest textiles and most sustainable fashion choices, creating zero waste as every part of the plant is used (for textiles and food). Our linen is all European grown, yarn-dyed and woven especially for us, then boil-washed to pre-shrink it.

Wearability
Linen is not only a Summer fabric, it is also a natural insulator, providing warmth when it is needed and offering the perfect base for a layered look, trapping air between the layers to keep you cozy year-round.
