Product Insights
The Dense Knit Pleated Edge Minidress by Icône (99 CAD) blends 65% reprocessed viscose from textile waste with 35% nylon for softness and over 50% greater durability, using tight loops that resist deformation and provide stretch without spandex. Its pleated hem demands cold gentle washing, flat drying, folding storage, and low-heat ironing, trading convenience for a lower environmental impact—reprocessed viscose cuts impact by 50%—and a 4.3-star rating supports its value from Simons' heritage brand.
Verified claims
- Eco credentials
- 65% reprocessed viscose from textile waste with ≥50% lower impact, blended with 35% nylon.
- Softness
- Reprocessed viscose retains the softness and drape of virgin viscose.
- Durability
- 35% nylon increases fabric durability by over 50%.
- Shape retention
- The fitted, cropped, slim-fit dense knit is 65% reprocessed viscose and 35% nylon with stretch that comes from loop rotation rather than spandex; tight loops resist deformation, so the dress is less likely to lose its stretch from heat or body oils than elastane blends and keeps its body-sculpting shape over time.
- Washing and drying
- Use a cold gentle wash and lay flat to dry for the pleated hem.
- Steam and ironing
- Steam or low-heat iron on the reverse with a pressing cloth to refresh pleats.
- Storage
- Fold the dress rather than hanging it for long-term storage to keep the fitted knit from stretching out; if it is hung, use a hanger that keeps the pleated edge clear of other garments so the folds stay crisp.
- Care
- Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent, lay flat to dry, and use a low-heat iron with a pressing cloth if needed; avoid machine washing and tumble drying to protect the knit and pleated hem.
- Brand heritage
- Icône is Simons' in-house label; Simons was founded in 1840, giving Icône trend-aware design and solid value.
- Sustainability
- Reprocessed viscose in this dress delivers at least a 50% reduction in environmental impact compared to conventional virgin viscose (Simons' Vision).
- Fit and sizing
- Customers note the fit tends to run small: this is a fitted, cropped, slim-fit dense knit mini with a crew neck and short sleeves, narrow in the shoulders and very straight fitted, and the thick stretch fabric needs a precise fit to avoid looking lumpy, so sizing up can help if between sizes or seeking a less restrictive silhouette.
- Button functionality
- The decorative gold buttons are sewn on for appearance; they are not functional buttonholes.
- Opacity
- The thick dense knit is opaque and should not become see-through, even when stretched under bright light.
- Hemline position
- Measured 33.5 inches (85 cm) from the top of the shoulder, the hem lands above the knee, around mid-thigh, on a 5'6" wearer.
- Recycled material source
- The reprocessed viscose in this dress is regenerated from pre-consumer and post-consumer textile waste, diverting discarded clothing and production scraps from landfills.
- Design details
- The dress has decorative gold buttons and a contrasting pleated hem; the buttons are sewn on for appearance only, while the pleated edging is a defining trim.
- Closure
- This is a pull-on dress with no zipper or back opening; the crew neckline is the only opening.
- Pilling resistance
- The dense nylon-viscose knit is more pill-resistant than a loose knit, and no reviewers reported pilling or snagging; hand washing and drying flat best preserve the surface.

Compared within this brand.
| Dense Knit Pleated Edge Minidress: Choose this if you want a fitted, cropped black knit minidress with a preppy touch: it has a crew neck, short sleeves, decorative gold buttons down the front placket, and a contrasting white knife-pleated hem. The thick, stretchy knit (65% reprocessed viscose, 35% nylon) has a smooth matte finish, and it measures 33.5 inches (85 cm) from the top of the shoulder in sizes X-Small through X-Large. Note that it is unlined, so layering preferences may matter.[1,2,3,4] | Draped Waist Long-Sleeve Interlock Dress: Choose this if you want a fitted, long-sleeve crew-neck dress with a draped right-side waist and above-knee length for all-day professional settings or special events — reviewers say the thick, soft interlock fabric resists wrinkles and keeps a polished look through long commutes, meetings, weddings, and parties. Note that reviewers report sizing runs small, so consider ordering a size up so the draped waist sits correctly, and the substantial fabric can feel overly warm in summer heat. It is unlined, made of 68% LENZING ECOVERO viscose, 27% nylon, and 5% elastane, and comes in Chocolate/Espresso and Assorted Green across X-SMALL to X-LARGE.[5,6] | Irregular Buttons Ponte Minidress: Choose this if you want a black, long-sleeve body-con minidress for office-to-evening social events — its gold-and-silver-tone irregular metallic buttons are described as reading 'business but fun' and pairing well with blazers or heels, and the thick, stretchy ponte jersey (soft to the touch, wrinkle-resistant, holding its shape without stiffness) supports all-day wear at standing receptions. Note that the fit is snug by design and runs small, so sizing up is common, but this often makes the shoulders and sleeves disproportionately large on petite frames; the front buttons are purely decorative and the dress closes with a back zipper, which has surprised some shoppers expecting a functional button front.[7,8,9] |

★★★★★Ophelia Y.
Not great for curvy figures. Narrow it the shoulders and very straight fitted throughout. Material is thick and stretchy but needs a perfect fit to not look lumpy.
