this molecular shortening makes the fabric more pliable and converts sharp, rigid creases into softer, rounded ones — the dress’s wrinkles evolve from ‘just out of the suitcase’ to ‘relaxed and intentional.’","mechanical_fibrillation_and_peached_finish":"The tumbling and flexing of the fabric during machine washing cause the flax micro-fibrils to separate at the surface, increasing the number of exposed fiber ends and creating a peached, soft hand — this fibrillation effect deepens with every wash cycle and is the tactile signature of linen that has been truly lived in.","hygroscopic_swelling_and_softening_acceleration":"Flax fiber’s ability to absorb up to 20% of its weight in moisture means that each wash-dry cycle subjects the fabric to a swelling-and-shrinking fatigue that physically separates the cellulose bundles;
