Solina Short Dress

Product Details

The Solina Short Dress reimagines a signature ELK silhouette into an effortless above-the-knee style. A shirred back panel offers hidden comfort, while the structured front waistband offers a polished finish. A textured Lenzing™ ECOVERO™ viscose blend forms the canvas for the vivid Serp Print. Proving that short dresses aren't just for warmer days, the Short Solina Dress pairs perfectly with the Jur Boot and your favourite base layers, making it ideal for all seasons in one day. The Serp Print is a yardage print, meaning that print placement will vary.

• Fixed wide cuffs with centre-back zip
• Fabric blend contains Lenzing™ ECOVERO™ viscose, a responsibly-sourced fibre harnessing closed loop production methods

Material

62% ECOVERO™ Viscose 38% Viscose

This woven crepe fabric has a textured surface, with the viscose fibres providing breathability and a silk-like drape.

LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose is a man-made cellulosic fibre (MMCF), derived from wood pulp. LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibres are recognised by CanopyStyle and EU Ecolabel certification as meeting high standards for environmental practice. This includes a low risk of sourcing raw materials from ancient or endangered forests, and the recycling of water and chemicals in the processing stages. According to Worldly's life cycle impact assessment data, LENZING™ ECOVERO™ branded viscose fibres generate up to 50% lower emissions and water impact compared to conventional viscose. 

Through our work with not-for-profit organisation Canopy, we are sourcing more than 95% of our viscose fibres from producers that have a green shirt rating according to the most current CanopyStyle Hot Button Report. This rating is a reflection of Canopy's assessment of the producers' engagement with CanopyStyle audits, their contribution to conservation, innovation initiatives, sourcing policies, transparency and chemical management.

Maker

Manufacturer: Jimmy Fashions (Zhejiang, China)

We have been working with Jimmy Fashions since 2010. They are a smaller, independent supplier with a focus on design and quality, and this is one of our longest standing supplier relationships. With owner Jimmy Shen and his team working closely with our Design and Production departments, this family-owned business has grown with ELK and now supplies much of our woven apparel.

In early 2024, Jimmy installed rooftop solar panels on his factory, and estimates more than 50% of the factory's electricity to come from this renewable source. The factory also undergoes annual SMETA social compliance audits, which are conducted by a third party and provide transparency into worker wellbeing and wages.
