Material

Main: 70% Viscose 30% TENCEL™ Lyocell

Trim: 46% Viscose 46% Nylon 8% Elastane

This fabric has a smooth surface and soft handfeel, with a gentle drape that makes it perfect for layering.

TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres are derived from wood sourced from sustainably managed forests.

TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres have gained a commendable reputation for their environmentally responsible, closed loop production process, which transforms wood pulp into cellulosic fibres with high resource efficiency and low environmental impact. This solvent-spinning process recycles process water and reuses the solvent at a recovery rate of more than 99%.

TENCEL™ Lyocell is a renewable and biodegradable fibre.

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 shirt ranking according to the most current CanopyStyle Hot Button Report. Our partnership with Canopy includes a commitment to ensure all of our viscose products have not been sourced from ancient and endangered forests. Our traceability systems confirm the viscose fibres in this garment are from green shirt rated producers.

TENCEL™ is a trademark of Lenzing AG.

Size and Fit

The Del Dress is a regular fit through the bust, with a slim fit through the knitted waistband, which is designed to hug the midsection. The gathers below the waistband give more volume into the A-line skirt, and the dress is a midi length. The key fit points are the bust, waist, waist stretched and length.

All garments are measured flat (not on body) and then doubled (except the length) to calculate the total circumference. To work out what size will suit you best, flat measure an item that fits you well and use this as a guide. Please contact us if you have any questions or need more information.
