Adaline Broderie Midi Dress

This midi-length dress features a structured, corset-style bodice that transitions into a full, A-line skirt. The orchid white chiffon is heavily layered with floral embroidery and applique, creating a dense, tactile surface that sits away from the body. It borrows heavily from mid-century garden party silhouettes, relying on the contrast between the rigid, boned torso and the airy, voluminous skirt to define the shape.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: The primary shell is constructed from 100% polyester, a petroleum-based plastic fiber that lacks natural breathability and can trap heat against the skin. While the garment includes a 100% cotton lining—which provides a more biocompatible layer against the body—the reliance on synthetic chiffon for the outer structure limits air circulation and introduces potential for microplastic shedding.
