Layercake Linen Palazzos
Regular price £169.00 Discounted price £139.00Details
This the long-line trouser-shape you asked us for.
Whereas the HiLo's and Baggies are VERY roomy, the Palazzos are an almost-straight, wide-legged pant. And whereas the idea behind the HiLo's and Baggies is that you can choose to wear them either cropped or full-length, the Palazzos are meant to show a loooong leg-line, so they are meant to be worn full-length, at least touching the top of your foot, ideally ALMOST touching the ground.
They LOOK straight when on but they are shaped to accommodate hips and tummies in such a way that that long line is maintained without expecting you to change your body shape first, as so often is the case when looking for new clothes...but, I digress!
NEW SIZE and SPECIAL PRICE:
To celebrate the new size XL Palazzos, we have scheduled another production run in the second half of May. So between now and Midnight on 16 May order any size/length of Palazzos for the special price of £139 and delivery by the end of May.
If a certain fabric/size shows the "add to bag" option, then there are 2 possibilities:
1. We have some ready-made in stock (shown directly above the "add to bag" button).
2. It is a pre-order, i.e. we have to make it for you. If this is the case, you will be able to put it in your cart and order it, and you'll realise that we wont be able to ship immediately (pre-orders usually take between 2-4 weeks)
If we have run out of stock AND fabric, it will show as "No longer available" and you will not be able to add it to your cart, it truly is all gone.
Layercake Sizes
Layercake follows a different sizing system, recognising that the traditional system of "ladies dress- sizes" does not account for body shape and height. Read more about the background to this HERE.

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.
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.
