Material Composition
100% viscose, a semi-synthetic fiber derived from plant cellulose. Viscose has a soft hand, drapes fluidly, and breathes well - making it comfortable across warm and transitional seasons. The slight stretch noted in the product data is characteristic of how the smocked construction interacts with the viscose weave - the smocking creates elasticity in the bodice section while the skirt retains a more fluid, non-stretch drape. The fabric is opaque throughout and does not require a lining or slip. Wash cold and dry on low heat to maintain drape and the integrity of the smocked section over time.
Construction Details
Square neckline with a smocked bodice constructed in horizontal gathered bands - the smocking provides a fitted hold through the chest without requiring a zipper, button, or other closure. The slight stretch in the bodice allows the neckline to sit flush and adjust with movement. Wide cami straps attach at the shoulder seams. Below the smocked bodice, the skirt is constructed in a tiered/a-line silhouette with a frill detail at the hem adding additional visual weight and a finished edge. The dress falls to midi length - approximately to the mid-calf based on image analysis. Not lined; viscose is opaque throughout.

Care Instructions
Machine wash cold. Tumble dry low. Cold washing maintains the viscose's drape and the integrity of the blue floral print - low-heat drying preserves the smocked bodice's elasticity so the fit remains consistent after repeated laundering.
