Fabric composition
About this product
A loose linen maxi dress is one of the most useful pieces you can pack for a warm-weather trip. It works over swimwear on the way to the beach, dresses up with sandals for dinner and covers shoulders and knees for churches and temples.
A linen and cotton blend keeps most of linen’s breathability while creasing a little less than pure linen. Choose a relaxed fit through the waist, since linen does not stretch.
Breathable linen vs. synthetics
Linen and cottonLets air through and wicks moisture, so it stays cool in heat and humidity. Creases easily and takes longer to dry.
Polyester and nylonResists creasing, packs small and dries fast. Traps more heat, so it suits travel days and cooler evenings.
