Fabric Composition & Construction
We selected a premium ponte knit blend for the Open Edit Black Dress that delivers the perfect balance of structure and stretch. The fabric composition includes a blend of polyester, rayon, and elastane that holds its shape throughout wear while offering comfortable give in all the right places.
Our construction process includes reinforced seams at stress points and a fully finished interior that looks as polished as the exterior. The double-stitched hem prevents rolling and maintains clean lines wash after wash. This attention to finishing details ensures your dress maintains its professional appearance even after dozens of wears.
Sizing & Fit Guide
The Open Edit Black Dress follows true-to-size measurements across our entire size range from XS to XXL. We designed the bodice with a tailored fit through the shoulders and bust, while the waist features subtle shaping that defines without restricting movement.
Our fit model team tested this dress on multiple body types to ensure consistent proportions across all sizes. The knee-length hem falls approximately 2-3 inches below the knee on women of average height (5’4″ to 5’8″). Taller frames will experience a slightly shorter hemline, while petite heights may find it landing mid-calf.
Care & Maintenance
Caring for your Open Edit Black Dress requires minimal effort thanks to our carefully selected fabric blend. Machine wash the dress in cold water on a gentle cycle with like colors to maintain the deep black tone and fabric integrity.
We recommend tumble drying on low heat or line drying to preserve the fabric’s optimal stretch and recovery properties. The wrinkle-resistant ponte knit typically emerges from the dryer ready to wear without ironing. If pressing is needed, use a medium-heat setting on the wrong side of the fabric.
