Material Composition
95% cotton, 5% spandex. Cotton is the primary driver here - it provides breathability, holds dye well in solid colorways, and softens with repeated washing without losing its structural integrity. The 5% spandex is present in a minimal supporting role: it adds just enough give to prevent the surplice wrap front from pulling during movement and helps the fitted bodice maintain its shape through extended wear. Not a stretch fabric - the spandex content is functional rather than defining.
Construction Details
Surplice wrap front - the two bodice panels cross over each other and create a V-neckline that sits naturally against the chest without fasteners. Short sleeves sit at the upper arm. The bodice is fitted through the waist and transitions into an A-line skirt that hits at midi length, below the knee. The dress is not lined - the cotton fabric carries the structure of the A-line skirt on its own. No visible pockets. Available from image analysis in a solid colorway; four color options listed in product data.

Care Instructions
Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. Cold washing preserves the cotton fiber and helps the deeper colorways - Burgundy in particular - hold their depth over repeated washes. Low heat drying prevents shrinkage in the cotton and keeps the minimal spandex content performing correctly over time.
