Ascella Dress

This wine-hued midi dress is anchored by a structured, twist-front strapless bodice that relies on internal silicone grip to stay secure. The skirt is rendered in a midweight satin, featuring sharp, dense pleats that create a rhythmic, weighted swing with every movement. It’s a clean, formal silhouette that leans into a classic 1950s cocktail shape, stripped of excess for a modern, architectural finish.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: This garment is constructed from a polyester and elastane blend, which are petroleum-derived synthetic fibers that lack natural breathability and can trap heat against the skin. The reliance on dry-clean-only maintenance suggests the potential use of chemical solvents during the manufacturing and upkeep processes.
