Alessia Drop Waist Dress

This dress is cut from a midweight cotton poplin that holds the structure of the boned bodice while allowing the skirt to fall into a clean, A-line shape. The front tie detail and square neckline nod to classic corset-inspired resort wear, trading heavy hardware for a light, floral aesthetic. It sits close through the ribcage before releasing over the hips, anchored by a concealed side zip for a seamless finish.

Safety Rating: Poor

Analysis: While the shell is 100% cotton, the inclusion of a 100% viscose lining downgrades the garment due to the chemical-intensive, solvent-heavy processing required to turn wood pulp into rayon fibers. The viscose layer sits directly against the skin, potentially hindering breathability compared to a full-natural construction.
