ALL YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

What is Tencel and why is it used in dresses?

Tencel is a eucalyptus-based fiber — silky-soft hand, naturally moisture-wicking, and significantly more breathable than synthetic fibers. The fiber drapes beautifully (better than cotton, closer to silk in hand), resists wrinkles, and washes well. The result is dresses that travel well, layer cleanly, and work across temperature ranges.

What kinds of Tencel dresses does Quince offer?

17 styles spanning slip dresses, midi dresses, maxi dresses, t-shirt dresses, wrap dresses, and Tencel-jersey day dresses. The fabric drapes more like silk than cotton, so the silhouettes lean more elegant and less structured. Most pieces work as travel pieces — they pack flat and resist wrinkles.

How does Tencel compare to silk for everyday wear?

Tencel matches silk's drape and softness at a fraction of the price, with three practical advantages: it machine washes (silk needs hand wash or silk cycle), it's more durable across wear cycles, and it's naturally moisture-wicking (silk doesn't wick — it can hold moisture against the skin). For everyday wear, Tencel is the more practical pick; silk is the trade-up for special occasions or specific sensory preferences.

Will Tencel dresses wrinkle when traveling?

Less than cotton, much less than linen, slightly more than synthetic blends. Tencel is genuinely wrinkle-resistant — pack a Tencel dress in a suitcase and it'll come out wearable. Light wrinkles steam out quickly with a travel steamer. Pair with knit cardigans or denim jackets for the layered travel look that hides any residual wrinkling.

How do I care for Tencel dresses?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Skip fabric softener (coats the fiber, reduces moisture-wicking). Iron on low if needed — though Tencel resists wrinkles enough that ironing is rarely necessary.

Does Quince offer free returns on Tencel dresses?

Yes, we accept returns for 365 days from your order date.
