Aya Pastel Pink Fit&Flare Midi Dress
Feel and look like a modern-day princess! Cut from flowy RPET Gabardine in baby pink, the pleats on this dress gently emphasise the silhouette. Equipped with hidden in-seam pockets, a very feminine neckline and a long key-hole, this dress is the embodiment of modern-day elegance. The key-hole ends in a careful arrangement of pleats across the waist and down the bottom of the dress, for that extra bit of oomph. Closes with a concealed nickel-free zip.
Composition: Outer Layer: 100% RPET Polyester; Lining: 100% RPET Satin
Our RPET is from postconsumer plastic bottles, processed through a mechanical, not chemical, process and spun into yarn in Italy - all traceable. With our unique fabrication, 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.
