Olivia Suede Midi Dress

This Karina Grimaldi midi dress leans into a structured, corset-inspired silhouette, rendered in a chocolate brown faux suede that offers a matte, tactile finish. Vertical top-stitched paneling draws the eye downward, creating a sharp, architectural frame that holds its shape through the torso before falling into a clean, straight-cut skirt. The exposed zipper and back slit provide a tactical contrast to the soft hand-feel of the fabric, grounding the piece in a sharp, 90s-adjacent minimalism.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: This garment is constructed from a 90% polyester and 10% spandex blend, which are petroleum-based synthetic fibers that lack natural breathability and thermal regulation. The faux leather finish and "dry clean only" requirement suggest the use of synthetic coatings and chemical solvents that pose a risk of skin irritation and prevent the skin from breathing during wear.
