Product Insights
The Ruched Waist Fine-Knit Sweater by Contemporaine delivers an hourglass-slimming silhouette through a ruched waist and center seams, using 53% LENZING ECOVERO viscose (EU Ecolabel, 50% less water and emissions, biodegradable in multiple environments) blended with polyester and nylon for durability and shape retention. The synthetic fibers stabilize the fitted ruched waist to prevent bagging, but they also limit biodegradability to only the viscose component, and the design requires cold hand washing and reshaping when damp to preserve the effect. Sizing up reduces the hourglass-defining fit, and the Simons Vision label verifies at least 50% reduced-impact materials, making this an exclusive Canadian design that balances sustainability with a unique silhouette at a $59 price point.
