Rye Mini Dress

• Alie is 5ft6 and is a UK 8. Alie has a 32DD bust. She wears a size S in tops, bottoms, and dresses.
  
  Dress is short - so we recommend wearing safety shorts / cycle shorts underneath to keep you covered. Our Shaya shorts work well for this.
  
  Tie at centre back to adjust to your preference.
  The dress is a pull-over style. You have to pull the whole dress over your head and down to get it on and reverse this motion to take it off. This can be fiddly.

Fabric Composition: ‘ITY’ (Interlock Twist Yarn) 60% Recycled Polyester, 35% Polyester, 5% Elastane.

The ITY fabric is made from post-consumer recycled bottles to create the polyester fibres. The 60% recycled polyester is certified by Global Recycle Standard (GRS). We source this Recycled ITY fabric from a mill in the UK, reducing the carbon footprint of our product significantly due to a localised supply chain.

Recycled Content:
We are increasing our fabric's recycled content from 60% to 95%. This has taken us time as there is a lot of testing involved to ensure the increased % of recycled fibres does not compromise the stability and quality of the final product. While transitioning, we will use our remaining 60% recycled fabric for current stock and switch to the 95% recycled fabric for restocks. During this period, some items will be made with 60% recycled fabric and others with 95% until the transition is complete.

Key Features:
* Shape-wear Fit: Our double-layered technique, combined with this material, delivers a performance quality that ensures a smooth, sculpting fit similar to shape-wear garments.
* Low Maintenance: This fabric retains its stretch and resilience wash after wash, and resists creasing, eliminating the need for ironing.
* Fast Drying: Simply hang to dry, reducing the reliance on machine drying.
* Travel Friendly: ITY provides a soft hand feel and a tightly woven finish, perfect for durable wear and travel.
* Durable and long-lasting: This fabric is designed to be worn repeatedly, helping reduce waste and the need for frequent replacements.
