Details
Sleep better in super soft 'jammies' that were made sustainably from handspun custom fabrics. Pieced together from remnant fabric, the idea for this set was born out of a desire to eliminate waste in production and the effects it has on the environment.
The shorts feature a draw-string closure and are made to sit at the natural waist. As these are true drawstring shorts without any elastic, they may seem large until cinched around the waist.
The set comes packaged in a matching drawstring bag.

Wash and Care
Swahlee prewashes and machine dry all cotton fabric before cutting and sewing in order to pre-shrink.
Cotton dresses can be machine washed and machine dried. However, as with all garments, line drying your dress, rather than tumble-drying, will increase its lifespan, as it is gentler on the fibers. Line drying is also better for our planet by reducing CO2 emissions. Colored clothing should be dried in the shade to prevent fading.
A warm iron may be necessary to remove wrinkles.
Line drying results in less wrinkles on our 100% handloom cotton dresses than tumble drying.
