Details
These are the new linen colours for the Playsuits this Autumn.
Five glorious colours to choose from, all selected to complement the pre-orders from earlier this year as well as the rest of your Layercake wardrobe.
For those familiar with the Summer Playsuits, these are all in the heavier linen. You may recognise Turmeric from a few seasons ago. It was so popular that I've brought it back for this Autumn.
In case you are new to this design, the Playsuit is a Layercake classic. One of our most popular garments due to the versatility and comfort that the Playsuit gives you. You put it on like a dress but zip it up at the bottom. As ever, the playsuit is available in our regular 4 sizes and 3 lengths.
For our regular Playsuit offerings, please see the Petite/Regular lengths HERE, and the Tall length can be found HERE.
Our playsuit will make you look fabulous, and will be the most comfortable piece of clothing you have ever worn, and you don't have to take it off when you visit the bathroom. And it looks great regardless of the age, shape and size of the wearer.
Note: the model is 5'10", 44in bust, wearing a size 2R, which hits 3in above the ankle.
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.

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.
