Minji Maxi Dress

This gown plays with contrast, pairing a matte, jersey-knit bodice with a diaphanous, sheer chiffon skirt. The drop-waist seam anchors the flow of the lower half, which reveals a built-in cotton-lined brief for coverage. It’s a study in structural tension, balancing the compression of the strapless jersey top against the high-movement, weightless drape of the skirt.

Safety Rating: Poor

Analysis: The bodice is composed of viscose, a chemically intensive processed fiber, while the skirt and lining rely on polyester, a petroleum-based plastic. The "dry clean only" requirement suggests the use of chemical solvents required for maintenance, which may leave residues on the fabric.
