Dress in 100% linen with short sleeves

Dress by ELEMENTE CLEMENTE with short sleeves. On-trend, flattering cut with asymmetric neckline, a pocket and diagonal gore seam on the front. 100% linen from a traditional Irish weaving mill and an Italian supplier specialising in linen. Linen processing has been a tradition in Ireland since the 12th century and is one of the oldest cultivated plants. Linen clothing offers unsurpassed freshness and coolness. It is comfortable, breathable and leaves an airy feeling on the skin. Linen is a natural product which is hygienic thanks to its anti­bacterial properties, and is also hypo-allergenic and free from substances that irritate the skin. Linen is antistatic, cooling and neutralises odours. The traditional dew-retting process used for the linen for ELEMENTE CLEMENTE is both ecological and kind to the fibres and completely dispenses with the need for artificial wetting. For this natural process, which removes the ­fibres from the stem, the harvested plants are placed on the soil in the field. The dew, which encourages the development of microorganisms, eventually dissolves the pectins (plant adhesives) for further processing. Length approx. 47 ins. The dress is machine washable.
