Material Composition
100% viscose, a semi-synthetic fiber derived from plant cellulose. Viscose shares many properties with natural fabrics - it breathes, has a soft hand, and drapes fluidly rather than holding a rigid structure. It is lightweight and well-suited for warm-weather wear. The weave in this dress is opaque, eliminating the need for a lining. Washing cold and drying on low heat maintains the fabric's drape and prevents the dimensional changes that higher temperatures can cause in viscose.
Construction Details
Gathered neckline with a keyhole opening at the center front, framed by a frill trim that also runs along the neck edge - giving the neckline both structure and decorative interest. Cap sleeves are short and fitted to the shoulder with a matching ruffle along the outer sleeve seam. The bodice falls into a slightly gathered waist with a self-tie belt constructed at the waistband seam, allowing the wearer to adjust silhouette definition. Skirt falls mini length, above the knee. Not lined; viscose is opaque and worn without a slip.

Care Instructions
Machine wash cold. Tumble dry low. Cold washing preserves the viscose's drape and color - low-heat drying maintains the shape of the frill details at the neckline and sleeves, preventing the fabric from puckering or distorting with repeated laundering.
