Henley Dress

This midweight cotton poplin dress utilizes a structured, boned bodice to hold its architectural shape, contrasting against a generous, free-flowing skirt. The mandarin-style button detailing provides a subtle nod to traditional Eastern tailoring, while the hand-dipped sky blue ombre lends a soft, painterly finish to the clean white base. It is a sharp exercise in balanced volume, grounding formal construction in a relaxed, summer-ready textile.

Safety Rating: Poor

Analysis: While the shell is natural cotton, the garment is lined with 100% rayon, a chemically processed semi-synthetic that often involves carbon disulfide in its production. The inclusion of internal boning and synthetic-adjacent lining construction limits the overall biocompatibility of the piece.
