Heatwave Vest Top

This crochet vest features a dense, floral-inspired openwork knot that sits close to the torso with a deep V-neckline and a subtle button-front closure. The sheer, airy construction demands a deliberate approach to layering, functioning best as a textured top-layer over swimwear or a structured bralette. It leans into a 1970s coastal aesthetic, trading traditional tailoring for a tactile, homespun finish.

Safety Rating: Poor

Analysis: The reliance on "dry clean only" care instructions and the nature of mass-market crochet textiles often indicate a synthetic fiber base, such as polyester or acrylic, which are processed with chemical finishes that can irritate the skin barrier. These materials lack the breathability of natural fibers and pose a higher risk of synthetic chemical transfer.
