Product Details

The Ardor Knit Maxi Dress in Dark Navy is the long-sleeve interpretation of the house's classic Amor Dress, knit from a 70% cashmere, 30% silk blend for fluid drape and insulating warmth. Cut to a slim midi silhouette, it has a ribbed long sleeve, a neat collar, and a self-covered button placket running the length of the front.

The yarn is spun at a family-owned mill founded in 1958, powered by 100% renewable energy and holding RWS certification under a strict no-mulesing policy, then knit at a family-owned factory in China.

Details:

  • 70% Cashmere, 30% Silk
  • Front self-covered button fastening
  • Ribbed long sleeves
  • Slim fit
  • Midi length

Size and Fit: Fits true to size for a slim fit. The model is 5'11" and wears a size S. Available in XS, S, M, L.

Styling Notes: The dark navy reads as a refined alternative to a black cashmere dress, an investment knit midi dress that pairs with tall boots, a wool blazer, or a long cape for cooler months. It also works as a refined office-to-evening knit dress, layered under tailoring during the day and worn alone with fine jewelry after hours.

Care & Longevity: Dry clean.

Blended fibers take on properties of the joining counterparts to achieve uniquely desirable characteristics.

Cashmere is one of the most luxurious wools, with desirable drape, softness and wrinkle resistance. It is up to three times more insulating than regular wool, with lofty fibers that can be tightly knit into warm and lightweight fabric. Like all wool, it wicks moisture and allows skin to breathe. Cashmere is considered hypoallergenic, since it doesn’t have lanolin. While more delicate than other wool, cashmere garments will not lose their shape if properly cared for. This is due to the fiber’s natural stretch that allows garment to move with you and recover.

Silk is known for its luxurious drape, luster and ability to take rich color. It is the strongest natural fiber and has low density, creating light and comfortable fabric. Silk’s resilient elasticity maintains garment shape, and its smooth surface is resistant to attracting dirt. Silk keeps you cool in warm weather, and provides insulating warmth in cool weather.
