Andrea Longsleeve Mini Dress

This dark chocolate mini dress is cut from a midweight slinky jersey that clings to the frame with high-tension precision. The construction centers on the tension between a high, modest neckline and a heavily gathered, asymmetrical skirt, finished with extended sleeves that anchor at the thumb. It leans into a late-nineties minimalist sensibility, relying on the fluid drape of the synthetic blend to do the work rather than complex tailoring.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: The garment is composed of a polyester and elastane blend, which are petroleum-derived synthetic polymers that lack natural breathability and can trap heat against the skin. These materials are associated with microplastic shedding and may contain residual chemical finishes from the manufacturing process.
