Material Composition
The 85% cotton gives this dress its breathability and the crinkle texture visible throughout the fabric. Cotton at this concentration is comfortable against the skin through warm weather and softens naturally with washing. The 15% polyester addition helps the garment hold its structure through the tiered ruffle construction - particularly useful for maintaining the bell sleeve shape and keeping the skirt tiers from collapsing. The blend is predominantly cotton, which keeps the fabric comfortable for extended wear.
Construction Details
V-neckline with a wrap-style surplice opening at the bodice. Long bell sleeves with ruffled cuffs that open at the wrist - the sleeve is fitted through the upper arm and widens progressively to the ruffle finish. Fitted elastic waist that transitions into a tiered ruffle skirt - based on image analysis, the skirt has two visible tiers. Not lined. Pullover construction via the elastic waist - no additional closure hardware. The crinkle texture is structural to the fabric and runs throughout the garment.

Care Instructions
Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. The crinkle cotton texture is inherent to the fabric structure - washing maintains rather than diminishes it. Cold washing and low heat drying preserve the cotton color and prevent shrinkage across the tiered skirt construction.
