Made to order

Ella is 5'8.5", UK 8, wears S/M

A white linen lapel against dark charcoal and deep red stripe. The Choir Boy Dress brings a little mischief to soft tailoring, with the crisp contrast of a choir collar and a double-breasted front.

It is cut in our Choir Boy Irish linen, the same cloth used for the Sweetie Trousers and Double Collar Shirt. The deep red stripe runs through the charcoal, giving the dress colour without losing the clarity of that white lapel. And there are pockets.

Wear it with flat shoes by day, or black tights and a favourite coat as the evenings draw in.

Linen softens and grows more beautiful with age, which is one of the reasons we love it so much. We recommend either hand washing or machine washing at 30°C separately. Leave to air dry naturally, then press with a warm iron if desired. Do not tumble dry.

Our made to order pieces have a production time of 3-4 weeks.

Ready to ship items will be shipped within 1-2 working days.

Delivery is £6, and free on orders over £250.

No customs charges for any of our pieces if based in the EU.

The cloth

Choir Boy.
Charcoal, with a red stripe.

A dark charcoal Irish linen with a deep red stripe running through it.

Think of the choir: dark robes, white collars, and a little mischief underneath all that solemnity. From a distance the cloth reads as dark; up close the red comes through, giving it colour without losing its seriousness.

It runs through three Kept for Good pieces, and each one hides something: a white lapel on the dress, pink pockets on the Sweetie Trousers, a flash of Loinnir Pink beneath the collar of the Double Collar Shirt.

Colours: Charcoal and deep red

Choir Boy Dress

One pair of hands,
start to finish.

Every piece is cut and sewn in Belfast by one of our sewists, who sees it through from the first cut to the last stitch.

We keep our making close to home on purpose. Belfast was once the linen capital of the world, and the skills that built it are rare now. Making here is how we keep them alive.

Need it by a particular day? Let us know by emailing us or leaving a note at checkout.
