Times Dress

This midi dress relies on a rigid, boned bodice to hold its strapless neckline in place against the body. The surface is defined by high-contrast guipure lace in varying shades of blue and black, punctuated by a delicate lattice trim at the waist that breaks up the floral embroidery. The skirt features an asymmetrical, scalloped hemline that highlights the intricate needlework of the fabric.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: This garment is constructed from 100% polyester, a petroleum-based plastic fiber that lacks breathability and traps heat against the skin. Its reliance on synthetic materials and chemical dyes poses a higher risk for microplastic shedding and potential skin irritation during prolonged wear.
