Product Details
A classic black dress that proves you don’t always need colour to make an impact. Crafted from soft yet substantial mid-weight viscose with a hint of stretch, this dress combines structure and movement. The neat-fitting sleeves and wide swing hem create a flattering silhouette, while the cuffs are designed to scrunch for a relaxed finish. As the temperature drops, layer with warm base pieces and finish off the look with knee-high Jur Boots for a polished yet practical touch.
- Soft yet substantial stretch fabric for all-day comfort
- Button-up cuff and optional rolled sleeve
- A-line silhouette
- Self-fabric belt for a secure, adjustable fit
Material
97% Viscose 3% Elastane
This viscose blend is woven into a dry-handfeel, midweight fabric, with a slinky drape. Viscose is a man-made cellulosic fibre (MMCF), derived from wood pulp. It has a silk-like feel, fluid drape and comfortable breathability.
Through our work with not-for-profit organisation Canopy, we are sourcing more than 95% of our MMCF fibres from producers that have a dark green shirt rating according to the most current CanopyStyle Hot Button Report, which is the highest possible rating. This rating is a reflection of Canopy's assessment of the producers' engagement with CanopyStyle audits, their contribution to conservation, innovation initiatives, sourcing policies, transparency and chemical management.
