Material Composition
This dress is made from an 85% cotton, 15% polyester woven blend. Cotton provides the structure and breathability characteristic of denim - it holds a crisp shape, absorbs moisture, and softens gradually with washing. The 15% polyester content adds dimensional stability, reduces shrinkage, and extends wash durability. The no-stretch woven construction means the garment holds its cut silhouette without elongating or loosening at stress points through wear.
Construction Details
A spread collar opens to a full single-breasted button-front closure running from the collar to the hem. Two patch pockets with button-closure flaps are positioned at the upper chest. Long sleeves are set into the shoulder with topstitching consistent with denim shirt construction. An included self-tie belt threads through belt loops or side openings at the waist - allowing the wearer to define the waist or wear the dress open and relaxed. The hemline is raw-cut with visible fraying and falls above the knee. The garment is not lined.
Fabric Behavior
Care Instructions
Machine wash cold. Tumble dry low. The cotton-polyester blend holds its shape well through repeated washing - cold water preserves the denim color wash and prevents shrinkage, and low heat drying maintains the fabric's structure. The raw hem may fray slightly further with washing, which is consistent with the intentional finish.
