There is no second layer anywhere in this piece.

Where the hem lands when you sit

Mid-calf standing; seated, the knit gives and the hem rests at the knee.

Measured seated: 2 cm below the knee at the base size. How this is measured.

In moving air

Moderate — the hem moves in air but returns quickly. A common choice for part-outdoor events.

This is a description of how the cloth behaves, not a promise about the weather.

What this fabric does

  • Recovers from folding quickly, but it does hold a soft crease at the lap for a short time after sitting.
  • Dry flat. A fine knit stretches long on a hanger while wet.
Fabric and care in full

Why it is made this way

This is the dress that lives in the side pocket of a carry-on. Fine-gauge knit at 190 g/m² compresses to about the size of a rolled towel and comes out of the bag without a press.

It creases less than a woven does. It is not creaseless — nothing is — but a knit recovers where a linen does not.
