Ricci Midi Dress

This black velvet midi leans into a structured, neo-Victorian mood with its bustier-style bodice and exaggerated side bows. The gemstone embellishments at the hip anchors the waist, while the velvet’s high-pile light absorption creates a dense, saturated finish that contrasts with the skirt’s soft accumulation of fabric. It is a nod to 90s party dressing, favoring a sharp, molded silhouette over the brand’s usual bohemian ease.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: The garment is composed entirely of petroleum-based synthetic fibers (polyester and spandex). These materials lack natural breathability, often trapping heat against the skin and increasing the potential for chemical transfer through perspiration.
