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.
