Aera Fitted Long Black Dress with Thigh Slit
A silhouette-hugging long dress with new take on a sweetheart neckline and a high slit perfect for a special occasion. Extremely soft and light, this dress is made from 100% Recycled Crepe for none of the nasties but all of the glam! Closes with a concealed zip on the back.
Composition: 100% RPET Crepe
Our RPET polyester is from postconsumer plastic bottles, processed through a mechanical, not chemical, process and spun into yarn in Italy - all traceable. The material is super soft, 100% recycled, anti-UV, fast drying, antibacterial and hypoallergenic, certified by GRS (Global Recycle Standards by Textile Exchange) and Oeko Tex. RPET requires significantly less energy, releases 65% less carbon dioxide and requires 90% less water than normal polyester. All PET used is rescued from the waters of the world and are Global Recycle Standard Certified. Read more about our RPET here.
Care guide: Wash at 30°, iron on low, do not bleach, do not tumble dry. Or take to specialist dry-cleaner.
