Sophia Lilac Bardot Midi Dress - Off the Shoulder Lilac Dress
A cute and elegant bardot midi dress. Sophia is an excellent choice as a bridesmaid dress or wedding guest dress. A truly feminine design from a very light soft fabric.
Composition: 80% RPET Polyester, 20% Viscose
Our viscose (rayon) is a cellulosic fiber made from wood pulp sourced from sustainably managed forests. 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 is Global Recycle Standard Certified. Read more about our RPET here.
Care guide: Wash at 30°, iron on low, do not bleach.
