Costera Dress

This dress uses a mix of pointelle-stitch knitting and dense jersey paneling to create a trompe l'oeil effect against the skin. The sweetheart neckline and layered ruffles at the hem lean into a hyper-feminine, resort-ready aesthetic that prioritizes high-contrast texture over standard tailoring. It is a pull-on mini that relies on the tension of the knit to hold its shape through the torso.

Safety Rating: Poor

Analysis: The garment is composed of a Rayon and Nylon blend, with Rayon classified as a chemically processed semi-synthetic that often involves high-toxicity solvents during production. The inclusion of 20% Nylon further reduces breathability, making this a synthetic-heavy piece that may trap heat against the skin.
