Material Composition
This dress is made from 85% cotton and 15% polyester, constructed as a denim fabric - denim is a woven twill construction traditionally made from cotton, and the 85% cotton content here is consistent with a cotton-dominant denim weave. The 15% polyester contributes shape retention, reduces wrinkling, and adds some durability to the cotton base. At 85% cotton, the fabric will breathe reasonably well in warm weather while the denim construction adds weight and structure appropriate for the button-front, belted silhouette. No stretch is present in the blend.
Construction Details
Light-wash denim fabric throughout (image-inferred). Spread collar constructed from the same denim fabric with long collar points that extend and tie at the back of the neck in a halter configuration - the collar functions simultaneously as the neckline structure and the halter tie (image-inferred). Full-length button-front closure with metal snap or button hardware running from the collar base to the hem (image-inferred). Two symmetrically placed chest pockets with flap and button detail above the waist belt position (image-inferred). Self-tie belt in matching denim at the natural waist - the belt loops through belt loops or sits at the waist seam and ties in a bow (image-inferred). A-line skirt below the belt, falling to a mini length above the mid-thigh (image-inferred). Sleeveless construction with no sleeve attachment at the armhole (image-inferred).

Care Instructions
Machine wash cold and tumble dry low. Cold washing preserves the light wash denim's color tone - warm or hot water can cause denim to fade unevenly or darken at stress points. Low-heat drying prevents shrinkage that could affect the fit through the waist and the mini length of the skirt.
