This is a great dress - and in my favourite colour! I love the belt around the waist which can be done in a number of ways, and how it fits around the waist and drapes so nicely in the skirt. Love it!

Description

Ruth is our stunning new tie waist linen dress, and one of those quietly elegant pieces you’ll love to wear all summer - and throughout the year too. Sustainable, simple and made in a beautiful rich green colour, Ruth is one of those dresses that make you feel polished without any fuss.

The fabric is a gorgeous linen mix, with a green hue that flatters almost all skin tones. This midi length, sleeveless dress has a flattering V-neckline, and comes with a beautiful statement tie waist detail that cinches you in delivering a gorgeous silhouette. The shirred elastic at the back of the waist ensures the perfect fit for every body shape, while a small button fastening at the back neck is a nice added detail. The lovely linen mix fabric drapes beautifully and feels lovely and soft against the skin.

We love Ruth styled with flat tan sandals and gold jewellery for a refined, understated summer look, or paired with white trainers and a denim jacket for more relaxed days. The green colourway is wonderfully versatile and on-trend - it works with so many other colours and was a genuinely flattering shade on everyone who tried it on at the photoshoot. This is exactly the kind of dress that will take you from a dinner date to a summer wedding to a day at your desk and always look the part.

Ruth is made to order so no waste goes to landfill, and your purchase supports better wages for the garment workers making your dress, while also funding a child near our factories in India to learn to read and write. Beautiful, sustainable and doing good in the world - that's what Unfolded is all about.

    Wonderful dress

    Unfolded on a cruise. The Margaret was a perfect travel jacket and the Rodica, Susan, Fern and Naila were wonderful dresses for trips off the ship. They were uncrushable and so light and comfortable to wear!

FAQ

What is Unfolded? Where are your clothes made?

Unfolded is a movement to make clothes without waste and use the savings to create positive impact in the world. We were founded in Edinburgh, Scotland in 2021 by Cally Russell, Jamie Sutherland and Hilde Frydnes. Before Unfolded, we used to help big brands remove the waste from their business, but realised that for real change to happen, we had to build a totally new way to shop. 

Our team is located in Scotland and England, and we work very closely with our partners in India, where all of our clothes are made. At every one of our ethical partner factories in India, workers are looked after well, and all materials are sustainably sourced.

We also work with an education-focused NGO in India called Pratham, and together we make sure that every  purchase from Unfolded funds a child learning to read and write.

We're a company focused on positive impact in everything we do. Over 100,000 women have joined our mission to remove the waste from the fashion industry so far, and tens of thousands of customers help design all the clothes we make, so that we can turn that dream into reality.

How long will my clothes take to arrive?

You'll see an estimated shipping date on every product - just select a size and scroll down. This is the current estimated shipping date based on the information we have from our amazing factories and logistics partners. It can change, but normally doesn't. Once you order, you'll get update emails about where your product is in the production process.

Your items will be despatched as soon as possible after they complete production. You may receive items in separate deliveries, as they are packed up and shipped with other items completed in the same batch. We do this to reduce emissions and waste.

How can you be cheaper than other brands and still be sustainable?

30% of the clothes made by most retailers are never even sold - this year that will be 26 billion items of clothing. Think how much it costs to make all of those clothes!

At Unfolded, we're able to offer better prices because we don't make any of this waste. We design everything with the help of tens of thousands of our customers, and then only produce what people actually want. No waste = big savings, which we use to offer you better prices, pay workers better and support children to learn to read and write.

How do I make sure I buy the right size?

At the top of the page there is a full size chart for this style - just above the size selector. You can also see photos of our customers and models in a range of different sizes; there's more information under 'Fit & Size'.

If you need any help choosing your size, just send a message to our team, or respond to the wee popup that appears. We can help with measurements and guidance - and we're always happy to answer any other questions too! 

You can email us on support@thisisunfolded.com any time, or slide into our DMs on your social platform of choice. Amy, Claire and Bára in our customer team are always happy to help!

If it’s made to order, can I still return my item?

Of course you can! We offer 14 day returns once an item has been delivered. You just have to pay the postage to send it back to our partner in Nottingham - Royal Mail is fine. Alternatively, you can swap an item for free on our swap platform, or use our community Facebook group with thousands of customers to sell or swap.

Okay - I like the sound of Unfolded, but I’m still on the fence…

Buying from a new brand, especially one you might have found on social media, can feel risky - we get it! Scams are unfortunately common, but we are not one of them. We are a small company, driven by a huge mission: to take on fast fashion.

We want you to feel confident shopping with us. That's why, if you change your mind before your order has shipped, simply send us a message and we will process a full refund.

With over 100,000 happy customers and having featured on some of the biggest TV shows around, we believe we're doing something right.

You may have seen us on Dragons Den, where we were offered all the money, but turned it down. We also feature regularly on Lorraine, This Morning and across the BBC, as well as in local and national media - and of course on social media, where we have a dedicated following. Or maybe you’ve heard about Unfolded from our community of over 100,000 amazing shoppers in the UK!

So, what are you waiting for? Treat yourself to Unfolded clothes are better for the planet, for your wallet, and for the people who make them!
