100% European Linen Tank Mini Dress

You’ve likely pinned those classic linen pants and breezy linen shirts on Pinterest, but what exactly is linen, and where does it come from? At Miramo, our signature soft linen is crafted from European flax, a plant fiber that’s not only more sustainable but also less resource-intensive than cotton. Flax linen has a ton of benefits—it’s breathable, lightweight, hypoallergenic, and helps regulate temperature for all-day comfort. Even better, it gets softer with every wash and has a natural crinkle that adds to the effortlessly chic, laidback vibe it’s known for.

The short answer is yes, linen does shrink, but we’ve taken steps to reduce that. We pre-wash our linen before it reaches you, so you won’t notice much shrinkage at home. Plus, that pre-wash helps make the fabric softer from the get-go.

As for caring for your linen? It’s a breeze! Check out the next question for our simple washing and drying tips.

When it comes to washing linen, the key is to avoid hot water, which can lead to shrinkage. Stick with a cold or warm wash instead. Linen prefers a gentle cycle with similar colors, and if you want to reduce the natural crinkle, make sure to remove it from the washer promptly.

Worried about drying your linen pieces? The secret is to steer clear of high heat in the dryer. We recommend tumble drying on a low setting or air drying your linen. For extra softness, toss in our 100% New Zealand wool dryer balls. If you prefer a smoother finish, a warm (not hot) iron or steamer will do the trick.

Wrinkles are a natural characteristic of 100% pure linen and actually signal its quality. Part of linen's charm is that effortlessly rumpled look—those wrinkles give it that laidback, luxe vibe it’s loved for.

We’re all for embracing the wrinkles, but if you prefer a smoother appearance, here’s how to manage them. First, remove your linen from the washer as soon as the cycle ends—leaving it in the machine will cause more wrinkles to set in. If wrinkles do appear, a warm (not hot) iron on slightly damp fabric will do the trick—just keep the iron moving to avoid damaging the linen. Prefer to skip the iron? No problem. A gentle steam can help smooth out the major wrinkles, or you can try our favorite trick: toss a couple of ice cubes in the dryer with your linen for a quick, no-fuss steam session.

Excited about your first linen piece? Here are some easy ways to style it:

How to style linen pants: Go all-in on linen while on vacation with a matching cropped tank, or dress them up for work by pairing with a tucked-in cotton tee and a blazer.

How to style linen shirts: The options are endless! We love leaving one unbuttoned over a textured tank and crisp shorts for a laid-back look, or tucking it into high-waisted trousers for a polished office ensemble.

How to style linen jackets: Linen jackets are perfect with linen pants, but they also pair beautifully with jeans and heels for a chic, casual vibe.

How to style linen dresses: Contrast the relaxed feel of linen with polished gold jewelry for an elevated look. Slip on comfy shoes and a cotton cardigan if it’s chilly outside.
