Carlotte Dress

This floor-length satin dress features a sharp, knotted bodice cutout that draws the eye toward the center, balanced by delicate, adjustable self-tie shoulder straps. The fluid, lightweight silk-blend fabric skims the hips before releasing into a subtle flare at the hem, creating a clean, column-like silhouette. Finished with a coastal-inspired print and a vented back, it channels the high-gloss, after-dark aesthetic Retrofête is known for, albeit with a warmer, Mediterranean-holiday temperament.

Safety Rating: Poor

Analysis: The high percentage of viscose—a chemically intensive semi-synthetic—combined with a polyester lining and spandex content creates a substantial synthetic burden with limited breathability. The "dry clean only" requirement further suggests the use of chemical finishes or delicate construction that may harbor solvent residues.
