Design & Performance
The performance of the Bordeaux Dress is rooted in its technical fabric composition. By utilizing a blend of 63% Polyester (including 30% recycled content), 34% Viscose, and 3% LYCRA® Elastane, the garment achieves a perfect balance of durability and comfort. The inclusion of recycled polyester reflects a commitment to more sustainable manufacturing processes without compromising on the longevity of the fabric.
The viscose element provides a soft, breathable quality that feels comfortable against the skin, while the LYCRA® elastane offers essential stretch. This medium-weight fabric is designed to resist creasing and maintain its shape even after long hours of wear, ensuring you look as sharp at the end of the day as you did at the start.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
To enhance your brand identity, the Bordeaux Dress can be customised by our expert team in Telford. We recommend embroidery for this specific garment; it provides a superior finish for company logos or staff names, offering a tactile and high-quality appearance that complements the dress's refined style.
For organisations requiring larger, more vibrant branding, digital printing is also available. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has managed all customisation in-house, ensuring that every stitch or print meets our rigorous quality standards before it reaches your team.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note that the Bordeaux Dress features a centre back length of 97cm for a size 12 Regular. This provides a professional knee-length fit for most wearers. For cooler environments, this dress layers exceptionally well with a tailored blazer or a fine-knit cardigan without adding unnecessary bulk.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and professional finish of this dress, it is designed to be machine washable. Regularly following the recommended washing instructions will help prevent fabric degradation and ensure the colours remain vibrant over time.
We advise against the use of harsh chemical bleaches, as these can break down the synthetic fibres and damage the LYCRA® elastane, leading to a loss of shape. Proper laundering ensures that your custom embroidery or print remains secure and visually striking for the life of the garment.
