Lands End Linen

[SueW]

Anyone got or seen IRL \link{http://www.landsend.co.uk/icat/pc163371\this linen skirt} or \link{http://www.landsend.co.uk/icat/pc068864\this dress} and can tell me what they are like? I am tempted but I hate the faff of returning catalogue stuff.

IN particular I'd like to know if the linen is 'brittle' - I bought some Irish linen trousers from M&S a few years ago and they weren't good.
