Care:
100% Dupioni Silk
Lining 97% Polyester 3% Elastane
Dry-Clean only
Our Christy dresses are made from Dupioni silk; a type of silk which has small slubs throughout the fabric. This is a natural characteristic of the silk, and this fabric has been selected with this texture in mind. It adds to her beauty.
AboutFabric:We carefully choose the type and weight of silk that we use for each design specifically. This style has been made in silk dupioni, which we have selected as it is a rigid structured silk, with no stretch. Silk dupioni can have irregularities and slubs within the weave - this is a natural characteristic of the silk, and this fabric has been selected with this texture in mind.
RÉALISATION SIZE GUIDE
The Helena runs small due to the non-strech nature of the fabric. If you are in between sizes, or have wider hips/bigger bust we suggest you go a size up. Please consider the guide and your individual body type when choosing your size.
