Hayes Midi Dress

This strapless dress anchors a matte, form-fitting jersey bodice against a sheer, gathered mesh skirt that drops from an asymmetrical hip seam. The contrast in texture creates a deliberate tension between the structural hold of the bodice and the fluid, diaphanous drape of the lower half. It leans into a modern resort aesthetic, relying on the thigh-high slit and bone-toned palette to elongate the frame.

Safety Rating: Poor

Analysis: The garment is primarily composed of viscose and polyester, both of which undergo heavy chemical processing—viscose through carbon disulfide-heavy methods and polyester via petroleum-based synthesis. The reliance on dry cleaning further indicates the presence of chemical finishes that may irritate sensitive skin or off-gas over time.
