Ricci Skort Dress

This black velvet mini dress leans into a 1960s mod silhouette with its clean, wide scoop neckline and structured, flared skirt. The bodice is fitted through the torso, punctuated at the hips by two decorative bows that interrupt the clean lines of the velvet. It’s a study in youthful, high-contrast nostalgia, balancing a heavy, light-absorbing fabric with a short, playful cut.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: The garment is constructed primarily from polyester and spandex, which are petroleum-based synthetic fibers that offer poor breathability and can trap heat against the skin. These materials are prone to microplastic shedding and represent a high reliance on synthetic polymers.
