Homestead Gingham By Lady McElroy ~ 6mm ~ Rouge

The Homestead Gingham collection from Lady McElroy is a beautiful range of 100% linen checks that feels every bit as good as it looks. Yarn-dyed and laundered for exceptional softness, these fabrics have a wonderfully relaxed handle and that distinctive natural texture that makes linen such a joy to wear. Unlike standard linens, the Homestead Gingham collection has been pre-washed using a stone-laundering process, which softens the fibres and gives the fabric a gently lived-in feel from the very first wear. The result is a linen with lovely drape, a soft hand and a relaxed appearance that only gets better with time and washing. Featuring a classic gingham check measuring approximately 6mm squares, these linens strike the perfect balance between timeless and contemporary. Lightweight and breathable at 175gsm, they’re ideal for warm-weather dressing, keeping you cool and comfortable throughout the summer months. Perfect for tops, shirts, skirts, dresses and relaxed trousers. We particularly love the idea of a co-ordinated set with barrel-leg trousers and a simple boxy top, but it would be equally at home sewn into a loose-fitting dress or an oversized shirt. A versatile, modern linen with all the character, texture and relaxed charm that linen lovers adore.
