What materials is this set made from?

This cowl-neck top and pencil skirt set is crafted from a premium Tencel-blend fabric. The Tencel lyocell provides a silky smooth hand-feel with natural breathability, while the blend components add structure and stretch for a comfortable, tailored fit.

How does the Tencel blend feel?

The Tencel-dominant blend creates a remarkably smooth, cool hand-feel with a subtle drape. The fabric moves with you thanks to the elastane content, while maintaining a tailored appearance throughout the day.

What is the fit like?

Gentle machine wash at 30°C or hand wash with a mild detergent. Reshape while damp and dry flat. Tencel fibers become even softer with each wash. Iron on low heat if needed.

Is this set suitable for year-round wear?

Yes. The Tencel-blend fabric provides excellent temperature regulation — cool in summer and warm in winter. The fabric breathes naturally while maintaining its structured appearance. The cowl-neck top and pencil skirt work across seasons with appropriate layering.

Can I dress this set up for formal occasions?

Absolutely. The tailored pencil skirt and elegant cowl-neck top make this set appropriate for business and evening settings. The navy color adds sophistication. Pair with heels and a structured blazer for formal occasions, or with flats for smart-casual wear.

Details

A Tencel-dominant blend engineered for fluid tailoring — a cowl-neck top and pencil skirt set that holds its line through a full day, then releases every crease overnight. The top's draped cowl neckline creates an elegant frame for the face, while three-quarter sleeves add a polished proportion. The pencil skirt falls to midi length with a clean silhouette that moves with the body rather than against it. In navy, the set carries the quiet authority of a uniform — but one chosen, not assigned.

A line that lengthens without effort

The Silhouette

The high-waisted, straight-leg silhouette is cut to create one unbroken vertical line from waist to hem. The rise sits at the natural waistline — not trendy-high, not casual-low — at the point where the body naturally bends. The leg falls straight from the hip without taper, creating a column of fabric that moves independently of the body beneath it.

Precision in every pleat

The Construction

Invisible darts shape the cowl neckline without visible seaming. The pencil skirt features a concealed back zip and a walking vent for ease of movement. French seams throughout — the kind of finishing you feel rather than see.

Material

European Beechwood Forests

Tencel™ lyocell fiber is derived from sustainably managed European beechwood forests. The closed-loop production process recovers over 99% of the solvent used, making it one of the most environmentally responsible fibers in modern textiles.

Standard

Tencel Lyocell

80%

Tencel lyocell at 80% creates the fabric's signature fluid movement. Polyester (12%) provides structural integrity for the cowl neckline, while spandex (8%) adds comfortable stretch. Full composition: 80% Tencel, 12% Polyester, 8% Spandex.

12%

A supporting fiber that reinforces the Tencel's fluid drape with just enough structure to maintain the garment's tailored silhouette.

8%

Spandex (elastane) provides the stretch component — allowing the set to move naturally with the body while recovering its shape.

Color

Navy

The Navy palette — a shade deep enough to read as black in low light, yet rich enough to reveal its blue undertone in daylight.

Atelier Proof

Select the fiber

The Tencel-blend yarn starts with eucalyptus-sourced lyocell — a fiber prized for its silk-like smoothness and natural temperature regulation. Blended with supporting fibers for structure, it creates a fabric that drapes beautifully on the cowl neckline.

Full composition: 80% Tencel, 12% Polyester, 8% Spandex.

Blend with intention

The blend ratio is calibrated for this specific set — enough Tencel for the cowl-neck top's fluid drape, enough structure for the pencil skirt's tailored silhouette. The same fabric is used for both pieces to ensure perfect tonal coordination.

Full composition: 80% Tencel, 12% Polyester, 8% Spandex.

Press to memory

After construction, the set is pressed on a form — the cowl neckline shaped to fall naturally, the pencil skirt's seams pressed flat for a clean line. The fabric retains this memory, returning to its intended shape after each wear.

Full composition: 80% Tencel, 12% Polyester, 8% Spandex.

Lifetime Care & Repair Support

Gentle Care

Machine wash cold on gentle cycle or hand wash. Tencel-blend fabric responds well to low-temperature washing and retains its shape without aggressive treatment.

Shape Preservation

Lay flat to dry or hang on padded hangers. The Tencel fiber naturally resists wrinkling, but if needed, steam on low heat to restore the fabric's fluid drape.

*Dry cleaning is recommended for the pencil skirt to maintain its structured silhouette.
