Walter Fishtail Gown

This gown is constructed from a fine, semi-sheer mesh that is densely ruched across the bodice and hips to create a sculptural, form-fitting architecture. The off-the-shoulder neckline and sweetheart bust provide a sharp contrast to the floor-length, un-ruched hem, which releases into a more fluid, column-like drape. It leans into 1980s evening glamour, utilizing the tension of the stretch-mesh to hold its shape while leaving the skin visible through the layered black grid.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: The garment is composed entirely of synthetic petroleum-based fibers (nylon, polyester, and spandex), which offer poor breathability and can trap heat against the skin. These materials are prone to shedding microplastics and rely on synthetic polymerization processes that lack natural biocompatibility.
