Devil Downhead Dress - Eclipse Blue
Devil Downhead dress is one of our most beloved cuts at Birds! It has patch pockets and a full, elbow-length sleeve that gathers at the cuff. It slips easily over the head and the keyhole opening on the back closes with a button and loop.
The fabric is pre-washed, OEKO-TEX certified 100% linen, and this dress can be washed on a cold delicate cycle and hung to dry. Devil Downhead is also available in in Geranium, Nutmeg and Black.
This dress has a very relaxed silhouette, so if you would like a fit similar to what you see on the models, you can follow our size chart recommendations for your body measurements here.

Please note that in natural, high quality linen, there are sometimes slubs in the fabric, which are slightly thickened ares of the spun flax fibres. They have a slightly raised texture and can take dye differently than the rest of the fabric. These textured areas are not considered to be imperfections, but rather a characteristic of the structure of the spun thread, and therefore a natural quality of linen fabric. They don’t affect the integrity of the material in any way, and are a part of the rustic, natural character of high quality linen. There is a photos of an example slub yarn at the end of the photo lineup!
