Product Insights
The Ami Contrasting Seams Black Dress is a modal-blend piece (67% modal, 23% polyamide, 10% elastane) with Italian-trained stitch density and Portuguese manufacturing, ensuring durability, shape retention, and a refined finish. Its vertical contrast seams optically elongate the figure and structure the silhouette, but demand precision in wear. The fabric is REACH-compliant, machine washable, resists pilling and fading, and stays jet black after 30 washes, while modal's finer fibers provide soft, breathable comfort with superior moisture absorption. This dress embodies Ami's casual-chic Parisian ethos and, at $299.95 CAD (75% off $1,190), offers an exceptional entry-level price for the brand, though currently out of stock.
