The Donyale Gown

This midi dress is constructed from a heavy, liquid-drape jersey that anchors the body while allowing for significant movement. A central ring knot pulls the plunging halter neckline and high-cut waist into a sharp focal point, revealing skin through deep side cut-outs. The skirt falls straight from the gathered midsection, finished with a generous front slit that leans into the unapologetic glamour of after-dark dressing.

Safety Rating: Poor

Analysis: The garment is composed primarily of viscose, a chemically processed semi-synthetic that often requires toxic solvents like carbon disulfide during production. The inclusion of 7% elastane adds a synthetic layer that limits long-term breathability and creates a potential for microplastic shedding.
