- care
- Do not tumble dry; line dry in shade, then wash and iron inside out with a cloth between fabric and iron
- shrinkage
- No pre-washed or softened treatment is stated; cold hand washing and line drying keep shrinkage minimal, while heat drives the usual linen shrinkage
- closure
- Self-covered centre-front buttons and loop detail, with no hidden placket or interior button; the loose cut gives ease that helps buttons sit away from the bust
