Deven Mini Dress

This halter-neck mini dress is cut from a midweight poplin that holds a sharp, sculptural shape through the gathered skirt. The plunge neckline and deep-set armholes lend a 1950s sun-dress silhouette, while the deep yellow-brown polka dot print keeps the mood grounded. It is finished with functional side seam pockets and a fully lined interior to maintain the structure of the cotton-elastane blend.

Safety Rating: Fair

Analysis: The primary shell fabric is a cotton-elastane blend, which offers reasonable breathability, but the inclusion of a 97% polyester lining introduces a significant synthetic barrier against the skin. This reliance on petroleum-based polymers for the internal construction reduces the overall air permeability of the garment.
