Blic Metallic Dress

Product Details

The Blic Dress is a midi-length round-neck dress. The sleeve is a batwing shape that finishes just below the elbow, with a button and tab on the outer sleeve to cinch the length. The dress also has side seam pockets, splits at the hem and bra keepers. The dress is crafted from a slightly sheer fabric with a subtle metallic thread woven throughout, and the fabric has a delicate, floaty effect with a slight crepey feel. Style note: this dress is sold with a black slip.

Material

Main: 52% Viscose 45% LIVA REVIVA™ Viscose 3% Metal

Slip: 95% ECOVERO™ Viscose 5% Elastane

This lightweight, sheer fabric lends itself to an elevated finish, with a subtle metallic thread woven throughout to add a touch of glimmer.

This fabric is made using Liva Reviva™ branded viscose fibres with recycled content. Liva Reviva™ follow circular principles, sourcing 20% of raw materials from pre-consumer textile waste, a step toward closing the loop in textile production. The remaining raw material is sourced from natural, renewable resources and manufactured in a way that emits lower CO2 and uses less water than conventional viscose.

Using inbuilt technology, Liva Reviva™ is traceable to its origins, ensuring the authenticity of this fibre.

The finished fabric blends Liva Reviva™ with viscose from a producer that holds a dark green shirt rating from Canopy.

We are working with not-for-profit organisation Canopy to ensure that all our forest-based fabrics are responsibly sourced from sustainable forestry and preference those with a green or dark green shirt ranking according to the most current CanopyStyle Hot Button Report. This report guides us in ensuring our viscose products have a low risk of being sourced from ancient and endangered forests. Our traceability systems confirm the viscose fibres in this garment are from dark green shirt rated producers.
