How do I care for my purchase?
Flaxbloom Linen
All our linen is prewashed and ready to wear. Over time, it will soften and drape.
Please wash all linen on a gentle cycle using a mild natural detergent, or handwash.
Hang it in the shade to dry, never in direct sunshine.
Whether you iron the garment is a personal preference – we prefer to let our linen soften

Market Of Stars
Hand-wash by swishing your piece around in cool or lukewarm water with a mild detergent for a minute or two before rinsing. (Avoid leaving your piece to soak, since this can weaken natural fibres over time.)
Lightly squeeze out the excess water, then roll up in a towel to remove additional moisture. Gently shake out and reshape your piece in all directions, and hang or lay flat to dry.
Finish with an iron or steamer if needed :)
What is Flaxbloom sizing like?
Each style has a sizing chart on the page.
Generally, if a style is described as “tailored” it is designed to fit to the body. These designs often have side or back zips to ensure a closer fit.
“Relaxed fit” means the style is looser and designed to drape and hang from the shoulders. These styles are often perfect for layering.
