Regular price £119.00 Discounted price £84.00Size: 2
Colour: Red Cross-weave Linen
Condition: Brand new
Sold by: Katherine L
Seller Notes: I may have tried it on once or twice, but I've never actually worn it.
Shipping Notes: This Smock will be shipped by the seller, who is US based. Therefore they will attract an automatic postage charge of £27 (the standard int'l shipping rate) which will compensate the seller for the charges they occur. The seller is not registered for sales tax so there is no tax to reclaim and depending on your location you may be charged import tax and duties by the customs office in your country of residence. Neither the seller nor The Slow Wardrobe has any control over this.
The Smock is an over-piece with a curvy silhouette that can be thrown over pretty much any outfit. When you wear one of these, you will find comfort in the freedom of movement and practicality in the large pockets. Not to mention the seemingly never-ending stream of compliments you get wearing a Layercake Smock!
Length from shoulder (size 2): 90 cm (36 in) front and back, dipping to 115 cm (45 in) at the sides – slightly shorter in the smaller sizes.
Size 3 Petite: available both in the Smock as well as the Tabard shape for size 3's of 5'4" or less.
Because the linen used for Layercake over-pieces is very hard-wearing and pre-shrunk, it is a great piece of work-wear that will get softer with wear and age and last you for years. Whenever you walk past a mirror or window, you will notice the silhouette the Smock adds to your stature.
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.

Apron:
The Apron sizing is close to our Smocks and Tabards (0, 1, 2 and 3) so if you know your Smock/Tabard size then choose the corresponding Apron size. However, the Apron shape is more open around the bust, so there is some more flexibility if you prefer to wear it more or less fitted.
NOTE: length measurements are taken from the top of the shoulder straight down to the bottom hem.
