Frequently Asked Questions

Discover the elegance of linen dressmaking fabric

Weave sustainability, timeless elegance and unparalleled comfort into your next dressmaking project with our linen dress fabric by the metre. Linen, a fabric that has stood the test of time, is the epitome of style, sophistication, and comfort and the perfect choice if you're a passionate seamstress, fashion designer, or simply someone who appreciates the finer things in life.

Explore our linen collection

At Wild Linens, we've consciously sourced and curated a selection of fine-quality, soft linen fabric for dressmaking and clothing. Sourced from Lithuania, where this is a long heritage of linen production and expertly crafted textiles. Our collection includes a wide range of colours inspired by the natural world, with our midweight linen fabrics wearable and easy to sew with. Whether you're envisioning a breezy summer dress, a tailored blazer, or a casual jumpsuit, our linen fabrics are your canvas. From bold Navy, sophisticated Grey or flattering Striped designs.

Kind to people and the planet

As a natural fibre derived from the flax plant, linen boasts a range of eco-friendly benefits that make it a sustainable choice for both fashion enthusiasts and our environment. Linen production consumes significantly less water and pesticides compared to other textiles, reducing the strain on precious natural resources and minimising harm to ecosystems. Additionally, linen is plastic-free and biodegradable, ensuring that it returns to the Earth without leaving a lasting environmental footprint. Our washed linen dress fabric is also OEKO-TEX certified, kind to both skin and the planet.

Designed to last

Linen fibres are inherently robust, allowing linen garments to withstand the test of time, wash after wash. Unlike many other fabrics that may lose their luster and shape over the years, linen actually improves with age, becoming softer and more comfortable. Its long-lasting durability means fewer garments in landfills, promoting a circular and eco-conscious approach to fashion, and an addition to your wardrobe that will serve you well for years to come.
