Fabric & care

This garment is crafted from 100% viscose. 

VISCOSE CARE

  • Wash at 30°C on a gentle or delicate cycle.
  • Use a mild detergent suitable for delicate or coloured fabrics.
  • Wash separately during the first two washes to protect the colour.
  • Do not bleach.
  • Use a gentle spin cycle and remove the garment promptly after washing.
  • Reshape while damp and allow to air dry away from direct sunlight.
  • Do not tumble dry, as heat may cause the viscose to shrink.
  • For the best result, iron the garment inside out at a medium temperature while it is still slightly damp.
  • Always follow the care instructions attached to your garment.

This garment is made from non-stretch fabric and is not intended to fit tightly. We recommend allowing a little extra room through the bust and waist. If your measurements fall between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size for a more comfortable fit.

To ensure the perfect fit, measure your bust, waist, and, if necessary, hips circumference. Check which size range your measurements fall into - this is your size :)
