Product Insights
Contemporaine's Printed Pure Linen Flared Skirt combines long-fiber European flax, field-retted without irrigation, with a thick weave that is opaque without lining and built to last 20–30 years. The skirt arrives soft and supple with negligible shrinkage, featuring a stretchy elastic waist that fits true to size and maintains its A-line silhouette after washing. At roughly half the price of comparable pure-linen skirts, the tradeoff is careful maintenance: remove damp from the washer and line-dry to preserve crispness and sheen, and avoid fabric softener to keep the linen breathable and the shape intact.
Verified claims
- Sustainability
- Flax is field-retted without irrigation; fertilizers limited by soil tests.
- Durability
- Certified European linen begins with long-fiber flax, the same stock used in linen bedding that endures 20–30 years of washing, and gives this skirt a heavy weave that resists thinning and holds its shape.
- Silhouette
- Gathered elastic waist and thick linen weave create an A-line silhouette that swings from the hip and is opaque without lining.
- Value
- At full retail, this skirt costs just over half as much as comparable pure-linen skirts from Eileen Fisher and Reformation.
- Shrinkage
- Made from washed linen, the skirt has already absorbed the 5–8% dimensional change typical of raw linen, so home washes cause only negligible additional shrinkage.
- Softness
- Arrives soft and supple, skipping the stiffness of new linen.
- Waist fit
- Stretchy elastic waist fits true to size, maintains silhouette, and won't shrink after washing.
- Opacity without lining
- Thick linen weave makes the skirt opaque without a lining, even with the printed pattern.
- Fabric softener
- Fabric softener should be avoided as it clogs linen's fibers, reducing breathability and causing stiffness.
- Drape evolution
- The skirt's linen softens over several washes, developing a fluid drape while maintaining its A-line shape.
- Wash and dry
- To prevent creases and preserve luster, remove from washer immediately and air-dry damp.
- Linen certification
- 100% Masters of FLAX FIBRE™ linen with independent annual audits verifying European origin.
- Breathability
- The skirt's 100% certified European linen offers pure-flax breathability, supporting everyday wear in spring and summer.
- Structure
- The thick, durable linen weave gives the fit-and-flare cut enough body to stand away from the legs, producing a crisp A-line silhouette that resists the limp drape of lighter linens.
