I’m looking at a sweater dress on Macy’s website that has a cotton acrylic blend. Does anyone know if this blend will hold it shape? I’ve never bought a sweater dress before and I don’t want it to stretch out from sitting. Thanks for any input!

Re: Cotton/acrylic blend

It will stretch out and not come back b/c there is no spandex plus it will pill terribly. Any time acrylic is blended with other fibers, in this case cotton, it's destined to be a hot mess of pills.

 

This thread should be in 'Fashion' forum.

The DKNY sweater dress button trim is so pretty and the right fabric!

 

available at Macy's for their F&F sale.

 

I really like that one, hope you look it up.
