Product Insights
This exclusive-to-Simons dress offers a silk-like acetate-spandex fabric with fluid drape, subtle sheen, and wrinkle resistance, priced 39% lower than identical versions elsewhere. Its gathered waist and 53-inch length flatter all body types, but the fixed strap demands a seamless strapless bra and fashion tape to stay in place, while wet acetate can stretch if not dried carefully. Pair with strappy heels and a statement earring on the bare side for a polished look.
Verified claims
- Washing
- Hand-wash cold with a mild, enzyme-free detergent, then shape and hang supported over a bathtub to air-dry.
- Heat
- Do not iron; hang in steamy bathroom to release wrinkles.
- Storage and chemicals
- Store in dark, cool place away from acetone and alcohol-based products.
- Value
- At $199.95, it is 39% less than the identical dress sold for $328 elsewhere.
- Exclusivity
- Contemporaine is a private-label brand created for Simons in Canada.
- Accessories
- Wear a statement earring on the bare side and omit necklace and belt.
- Footwear
- Strappy heels with at least a 2-inch heel and an ankle strap highlight the side slit.
- Fabric and fit
- 96% acetate, 4% spandex fabric drapes fluidly with subtle sheen, resists wrinkles, and the draped waist flatters all body types.
- Length
- 53-inch hem grazes floor on 5'0, hits ankle on 5'4.
- Body fit
- Enhances curves on hourglass figures and adds shape to straight frames; 4% spandex moves with the body.
- Undergarments
- Seamless strapless bra needed; fitted cut reveals undergarment lines.
- Strap
- Fitted bodice and a strapless bra lock the fixed strap in place.
- Fashion tape
- Fashion tape applied to the strap stops it from slipping.
- Care
- Wet acetate can stretch; dry the strap supported to avoid damage.
- Feel and drape
- Smooth, silk-like feel, subtle sheen, and fluid drape that holds sculptural folds.
- Breathability
- Breathable fabric that keeps you cool in warm weather.
- Wrinkle resistance
- Resists wrinkles better than pure acetate.
- Drape design
- The gathered waist and single draped strap depend on the acetate's fluid drape, falling into soft sculptural folds rather than collapsing flat.
- Stretch and recovery
- The 4% spandex in the shell gives the fitted bodice stretch that moves with the body and helps the draped details recover their shape instead of sagging.
- Fabric comparison
- Unlike many one-shoulder maxis made entirely from polyester, this dress pairs an acetate-spandex shell with a dedicated polyester-spandex lining, a material upgrade that shows up in drape and feel.
