I want to make shopping with us as easy as possible so here are answers to some questions about fabrics that keep popping up.  I of course love chatting with you all so please feel free to call if you ever have questions.  Please keep in mind that in order to keep the general fit the same, some specs will vary when you change fabrics.  With so many options and variables, we do not have exact dimensions on the site but are happy to provide them for you if you'd like to contact me with style, fabric and sizes you are interested in.

Thank you again!

Best,

Kate

FLAX 2012:

LTD'12- More fantastic thread dyes and gauze!  Keep in mind this Gauze still needs to be layered and will lack side slits and pockets.  The array of Fall colors is so beautiful, you'll want to try both weights so you can wear it year round.

'In Motion' '12- Soft French Terry comprised of 95% Rayon and 5% Spandex that feels amazing against the skin.  Ivory, Ebony and Charcoal are the only colors offered in bottoms and for tops you have your choice of those as well as the bright, beautiful Daffodil, Iris and Poppy!  This collection unfortunately will not be offered just yet in Generous sizes.

Spring '12-100% lightweight linen in 5 Springy colorways of solids and vine prints on ginghams of the same color. 

UnderFLAX '12- Another 100% mechanically softened linen group with wonderful solids, fabulous polka dots and a great shirred fabric that is stripes of alternating linen and linen gauze weight for a bit of added interest.  This means it might be slightly sheer and styles with pockets or slits will be without in shirred fabrications.  Shirred fabrics are more expensive.

Neutral '12- 100% linen in 6 colorways of Medium Weight and Handkerchief Weight fabric and introducing Pucker in Natural, Cream and Midnight!  Pucker fabric is still 100% linen but with a quilted texture that feels so wonderful and adds a bit of interest to these everyday basics!  The Pucker fabric may run a bit more snug than the regular weights in some styles and please note the Pucker fabric is more expensive.  Cream is Medium Weight linen and Milk Handkerchief is the same color just the Handkerchief Weight version! *Natural Pucker and Natural are the same color (a bit darker than last year's Natural) and the Natural Handkerchief is lighter (closer to last year's Natural and Natural Handkerchief).

Tees '12- More great colors in 100% cotton shirts and 90% cotton/10% Spandex leggings.  The shade of the Legging's fabric varies slightly from the shade of the Tee shirts fabric due to fabric composition differences. (After seeing this in person, I don't really see a difference.)

Bold '12- 100% medium weight linen in 6 solids, 4 bandana prints and 5 coordinating gauzes.  The gauzes are indeed sheer and need to be layered and any styles that normally have pockets, certain seam details or side slits may not have these details in gauze fabrications.  Please note bandana prints and gauzes are more expensive.  The dimensions may be slightly different in the varying fabrics in order to keep the overall fit of the style the same.

Dressed in FLAX '12- This collection is made up of 3 mini-collections, each with a different delivery date.  Each offers the same 6 styles but in different fabrics and not every dress is available in every fabric.  Be sure to read descriptions carefully because some dresses will not have pockets, contrasting hems etc in some of the fabrications.  Of course, call me if you need help and want me to walk you through it.  I have added links to the same style in the different mini-collections so you can see what fabrics are coming next!  Since each mini-collection only has one delivery period, once a certain style, color and size are gone we cannot get more. 

Socials '12- 100% handkerchief, gauze or ripple linen. 2012's version of Weddings, this is a sophisticated collection perfect for any special event.  This year has a new textured Ripple fabric.  It's hard to describe but oh so beautiful! It is not sheer but in the Cloud color, you'll have to be smart about layering.  The Angled Dress and Afternoon Skirt are Ripple up top and regular weight at the hem.

Sunshine '12- 100% lightweight linen.  This year is unique because neutral shades have been added to this historically colorful collection.  This meas you can get awesome FLAX classics like the Woodstock Top in Black, Java (dark brown) and Barley (Natural).  There are some twists on familiar favorites like last year's Hooded Tunic has a puch pocket now and is called the Pouched Hoodie.  This style and the Tank Tunic will both have pockets whether you choose lightweight linen or gauze weight.  The Hoodie Dress will NOT have pockets in the gauze weight.  Don't forget the gauze is sheer so it needs to be layered.

FLAX 2011 :

Traveler '11- Wow.  So many great fabrics, you have you work cut out for you picking one!  This collection is tricky because there are lots of limitations to what is available in each fabric.  The Black, Natural and Opal are available in Pants and Jackets and they are a heavier weight linen than we've seen so far this year.  The Pepper Gauze and Salt Gauze are heavier Gauzes than we've seen as well, but they are still a bit sheer so don't forget to plan for layering!  This is another "reversible in nature" fabric with only the Banded Tunic being truly reversible.  Both are more expensive than the Dobby and Sheer fabrics.  Dobby is so beautiful with wonderful texture that is hard to show online.  Think of it as Neutral's Cream with tiny, diamond shaped bits of gauze weight woven into the fabric.  Sheer (I starred everywhere) is a 52% linen/48% cotton blend and very aptly named.  It is indeed sheer!  Suiting is darker than Pepper and very snazzy looking!  This is a great fabric for dressing up.
