Maeve Dress

This dress leans into neo-romantic volume, featuring exaggerated puff sleeves that collapse into a sweetheart neckline and a tightly cinched, corset-style bodice. The cotton-elastane blend provides enough structure to hold the exaggerated shape of the tiered mini skirt while offering a slight give at the torso. It functions as a high-contrast piece, balancing the softness of the gathered sleeves with the sharp, V-shaped drop waist.

Safety Rating: Fair

Analysis: The garment is primarily composed of cotton, but the inclusion of 4% elastane in the body and a 32% polyester lining shifts it into a synthetic-blended category. While these fibers are common for maintaining stretch and shape, the reliance on petroleum-based polymers in the lining reduces overall breathability compared to pure natural fibers.
