What material is this set made from?

This bow-tie blouse and wide-leg trousers set is crafted from pure acetate, a cellulose-derived fiber known for its beautiful liquid sheen and silk-like drape. Acetate offers a luxurious hand-feel with excellent breathability.

How does the acetate fabric feel?

Acetate has a remarkably smooth, cool hand-feel with a gentle lustre. It drapes beautifully against the body, creating fluid movement with every step. The fabric is lightweight and breathable, making it comfortable for extended wear.

What is the fit like?

We recommend dry cleaning for best results. If hand washing, use cool water and a gentle detergent. Never wring or twist acetate — lay flat to dry. Iron on the lowest setting if needed, always on the reverse side.

Is this suitable for warm weather?

Yes. Acetate has excellent breathability and a cool hand-feel, making it comfortable in warm climates. The fluid drape also allows air circulation, adding to its comfort.

What occasions is this dress appropriate for?

This bow-tie blouse and wide-leg trousers set transitions seamlessly from daytime to evening. The blouse's bow detail adds a feminine touch, while the wide-leg trousers provide elegant volume. Pair with structured accessories for formal occasions or keep it minimal for refined daytime wear.

Details

Pure acetate with a liquid sheen — a bow-tie blouse and wide-leg trousers set that sculpts through drape rather than structure. The blouse features a classic collar and long sleeves with a subtle crinkled texture, while the matching wide-leg trousers flow with an easy, architectural volume. Worn as a coordinated set in pure white, the ensemble captures sculptural elegance — the kind that requires no embellishment.

Gravity as the only tailor

Bow-Tie Blouse & Wide-Leg Trousers Set

The oversized silhouette is cut to let acetate do what it does naturally — fall. No darts, no waist seam, no internal structure. The dress hangs from the shoulders and finds its own shape around the body, creating a column of fabric that shifts and reforms with every movement. The hem falls to mid-calf, long enough to create presence, short enough to move freely.

Simplicity that demands precision

The Construction

The blouse features a concealed front placket with mother-of-pearl buttons, self-fabric bow tie, and French cuffs. The trousers are constructed with a wide waistband, concealed side zip, and unlined legs for fluid drape. Both pieces share the same crinkled acetate fabric for seamless coordination.

Material

Managed Forest Reserves

Acetate fiber originates from wood pulp harvested in FSC-certified managed forests. Through a refined chemical process, cellulose is transformed into a semi-synthetic fiber prized for its silk-like drape and natural luster.

Standard

Acetate

100%

Shell: 100% Acetate. Lining: 100% Polyester. Acetate provides the set's signature lustre and movement.

100% Polyester Lining

The polyester lining creates a smooth interior that allows the acetate shell to move freely.

Bow-Tie Detail

The bow-tie construction leverages acetate's inherent structure for a detail that maintains its form throughout the day.

Color

White

The White palette — not bleached white, but the natural off-white of raw acetate fiber, carrying a warmth that reads as luminous rather than clinical.

Atelier Proof

Dissolve the cellulose

Acetate begins as wood pulp — dissolved in acetic acid to create a cellulose acetate solution. This is extruded through spinnerets into fine filaments that carry a natural luster and silk-like drape, perfect for the bow-tie blouse's fluid movement.

Full composition: Shell: 100% Acetate | Lining: 100% Polyester.

Weave for movement

The acetate filaments are woven in a satin weave — creating the characteristic sheen on the blouse's surface while maintaining enough body for the bow-tie detail to hold its shape. The trousers use the same weave for a coordinated finish.

Full composition: Shell: 100% Acetate | Lining: 100% Polyester.

Finish with restraint

A minimal finish preserves the acetate's natural properties — no heavy coatings or treatments that would compromise the fabric's breathability. The blouse is pressed to set the bow-tie detail, and the trousers are steamed to establish the wide-leg silhouette.

Lifetime Care & Repair Support

Delicate Handling

Dry clean recommended for optimal results. If hand washing, use cool water with a mild detergent and avoid wringing. Acetate is sensitive to heat and agitation when wet.

Proper Storage

Hang on padded hangers to maintain the garment's fluid silhouette. Store away from direct sunlight which can affect the fabric's luster. Steam gently on low heat if needed.

*Never use acetone-based products near acetate fabric. Iron on the lowest setting with a pressing cloth.
