Material Composition
This dress is 95% rayon with 5% elastane. Rayon is a semi-synthetic fiber made from natural cellulose - it drapes fluidly, has a smooth hand feel, and wears cool in warm temperatures, which makes it well-suited to a fitted mini with a flowing hem. The 5% elastane adds a small degree of stretch that allows the bodice to conform to the body without the fabric pulling or distorting. Note: the raw JSON lists the composition as "95% rayon, 5% elastanev" - the trailing "v" is a data entry error and has been corrected here to "5% elastane."
Construction Details
Backless halter silhouette with a deep V neckline and tie closure at the back of the neck. The bodice is fitted with ruching or gathering at the waist that creates definition before releasing into a short skirt finished with a ruffle hem. Partially lined through the bodice - the lining provides coverage and keeps the fit secure. The open back is the key structural detail of this piece. Length ranges from approximately 27 to 29.5 inches depending on size.
Fabric Behavior
Care Instructions
Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. Cold washing protects rayon from shrinking and preserves the fabric's natural drape - rayon can lose shape and soften further in hot water, which may affect the fitted silhouette over time.
