The term maillot was inducted into the English dictionary in 1928; it derived from the French phrase for swaddling clothes. The modern French term for a swimsuit, maillot de bain, also makes use of the word.
Maillot is an all-in-one undergarment made in ultra-soft jersey; stretchy with a frilled organza edging. The elongated sleeves and flared short trouser shape give it a very playful feeling. Can be worn on its own or as a great under-garment. Works particularly well under our Sylvia style.

Caring for this garment
Important Care Instructions
This garment is a complete one-off and hand dyed/printed/painted. It will never be made exactly the same again and it needs to be treated with care.
Take care to not over-launder. Choose to spot clean or even just hang out in the breeze to refresh it.
If needed wash by hand in cool water with a very mild detergent. Do not leave to soak for too long. Wring out gently and hang to dry. Can be ironed with medium heat.
Although all dyes and prints have been heat sealed to stay on the fabric excessive washing will cause them to fade over time.
