Daphne Maxi Dress

The Daphne maxi relies on the tension between a lean, long-sleeved jersey bodice and the high-octane movement of its ruffled skirt. The side slits are framed by sheer, frothy trim that catches with every step, breaking up the severity of the matte black viscose. It is a calculated study in after-dark drama that leans into the high-glamour, nightlife-focused DNA NBD is known for.

Safety Rating: Poor

Analysis: The primary construction is viscose, a chemically intensive semi-synthetic, combined with spandex for stretch. The inclusion of polyester lining and trim further relies on petroleum-based synthetics, which limit breathability and contribute to a higher chemical processing burden.
