Nievia Mini Dress

This dress leans into the architectural drama of the eighties, using a midweight stretch jersey to balance a high, ruched mock neck with sharp, padded shoulders. The hemline is aggressively asymmetric, anchored by a deep side-gather that creates a wrap-effect silhouette across the thigh. It’s a study in tension, contrasting the modest, covered-up top with a high-cut leg that demands height to balance the volume.

Safety Rating: Poor

Analysis: The garment is primarily composed of viscose, a chemically intensive semi-synthetic fiber produced using processes that often involve carbon disulfide. The inclusion of 7% elastane adds plastic-based synthetic content, which reduces breathability and contributes to microplastic shedding over the life of the garment.
