Materials:

• Main fabric: 100% polyester. This synthetic material has been selected for its lightness, durability, wrinkle resistance, and, fundamentally, for its excellent moisture management and quick-drying properties. The polyester in this dress is specifically treated or woven to integrate Omni-Freeze™ (moisture-activated cooling) and Omni-Wick™ (high wicking and sweat dispersion capacity) technologies, making it ideal for warm climates and activities that generate perspiration. Its structure allows for good breathability, helping to keep the skin cool.
