Kerstin is a dress inspired by female forms and has a beautiful v-shaped neckline both front and back. Nice flattering fit in soft jersey fabric with a bust cut and defined waist. Of course it has front pockets. The length of the dress is one of our longest and goes to the calf. The shape of the sleeve is slightly flared for a bell shape and is half length to just above the elbow.
Kerstin is a dress from our own collection and is designed here in Visby by our own Sara Högblom. The dress is designed with Sara's grandmother Inez's sister Kerstin in mind, who liked to dress up fancy and flamboyant for everyday life and parties. The print design is created by Kim Ingesson & Sara Högblom. The design is inspired from the 40s and 50s and exudes a nice retro romance.
We sew the clothes in our own collection in our own sewing production in Visby and only produce based on demand and order. Please contact us if your size is not in stock - it can often be arranged!

The length goes to the calf and the fit of the dress is tight at the top with a flared skirt fit. The skirt part is exposed from the bodice down. The sleeve length goes down to just above the elbow and is slightly flared for a bell shape.

Materials and washing instructions
We sew Kerstin in an incredibly nice single jersey jersey consisting of 95% Organic Cotton 5% Elastane. We produce and print the fabric in Turkey with organic digital colors. The fabric is GOTS certified.
When you wash your dress, we recommend 40 degrees and hang drying. We also recommend that you use an eco-labeled detergent or washing nuts and refrain from using fabric softener. Avoid tumble drying as it shrinks the garment more and also requires a greater amount of energy. Shake out the garment thoroughly before hanging it on a hanger or washing line to make it as smooth as possible so you don't have to iron the garment. Remember that it is often enough to air a garment before it needs to be washed, so you save on the environment and your clothes last longer. Stains can often be rubbed off and lightly washed beforehand on the area where the stain is.
Shrinkage 3-5% in the first wash.
