Classic Billynou original overalls.
These overalls are a one-off and made by me from the most gorgeous medium-weight vintage French linen, sourced by me here in France. This linen is very high quality; it feels light to wear with a lovely drape. A very versatile garment that can be worn through all seasons with a little more or less layering.
They are an oversized design, originally conceptualized for easy, comfortable pregnancy wear. The design has changed a little over time, and we suggest sizing up if you are pregnant to make sure to accommodate a bump. Similarly, if you are unsure which size to choose, we always suggest sizing up because, let’s face it, baggy is always better!
These overalls have been naturally dyed using ice, which creates beautiful, unpredictable patterns on the fabric. The colours come from pomegranate.
Ellie is size S/M and 167 cm tall.
Ceilidh is size M/L and 175 cm tall.
Care instructions: Wash cool with pH-neutral detergent. Colours may vary slightly due to lighting.
A note on natural dyes: Natural dyes are often described as “living colour.” They have a charm and personality very unlike chemical dyes, with the much higher energetic vibration of life. This does mean that some colours may vary or fade over time. It is important to treat these pieces with love and care, keeping them out of sunlight when not wearing them and washing them gently with cool water and pH-neutral soaps.
Please also note that I use vintage fabric not only for its beautiful qualities but also because it already exists, avoiding the production of new material. This does mean that even though the utmost care is taken when choosing the fabric, there may occasionally be minimal signs of age.
