Sutton Dress

This dress relies on a heavy-gauge crepe to hold the tension of its draped hip, creating a sharp contrast between the clean, high-neck bodice and the liquid motion of the skirt. The gold-tone hardware acts as an anchor for the fabric, pulling the gathered material into a deep, architectural thigh-high slit. It’s an exercise in sculptural restraint that leans into a modern, sun-drenched maximalism.

Safety Rating: Poor

Analysis: The composition is primarily viscose, a chemically processed semi-synthetic that often requires intensive solvent use during production. The addition of 8% elastane further compromises the breathability of the fabric and introduces petroleum-based synthetic fibers to the skin contact surface.
