Jacquard refers to a weaving process where the textured pattern is raised and woven directly into the structure of the fabric itself, rather than being printed or embroidered on top. This gives the dress a tactile quality and structural shape without adding unnecessary weight. How much stretch does the 3% elastane provide to the tailored bodice? The 3% elastane is woven directly alongside our cotton fibres to provide a flexible, comfortable stretch. While the dress looks tailored and structured from the outside, the fabric expands subtly with your body, allowing you to sit comfortably at a dinner party, breathe easily, and move without any of the rigidity of traditional woven dresses. Will the intricate textured pattern flatten out or pucker after being machine washed? Not at all. Because the jacquard architecture is an inherent part of the textile weave, it holds its dimensional profile through standard laundering. To maintain its pristine finish, simply machine wash the dress inside out on a cool, gentle cycle, hang it to dry, and iron on the reverse side using a medium steam setting to lift the pattern beautifully. Machine washable. 97% Cotton, 3% Elastane. Country of Origin: China
