Material Composition
The 50% viscose provides the soft hand and natural drape characteristic of semi-synthetic fibers derived from cellulose - it feels lighter than cotton at comparable weights and moves fluidly. The 30% polyamide (nylon) adds durability and stretch recovery, helping the knit return to shape after wear. The 20% polyester stabilizes the fabric and contributes to color retention and longevity over repeated washes. Note: this composition is 50% viscose (semi-natural) and 50% synthetic, which places it below Lumistelle's 70% natural/semi-natural fiber standard - Kennedy to review.
Construction Details
Round neckline with a clean, flat finish - no excess trim or embellishment at the neck. Long sleeves with visible ribbed cuffs at the wrist - the ribbing creates a neat, secure finish at the sleeve end. The dress fits semi-loosely through the torso and hip with moderate stretch in the knit fabric - not a bodycon fit, but the moderate stretch follows the body's movement naturally. Fabric is noted as opaque. Not lined. Pullover construction consistent with the knit build.

Care Instructions
Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. Viscose blends benefit from cold washing - this preserves the soft hand of the fiber and prevents shrinkage in the viscose content. Low heat tumble drying maintains the knit's stretch integrity and prevents the polyamide and polyester fibers from heat-setting.
