x REVOLVE Hayes Midi Dress

This dress relies on aggressive, diagonal ruching that pulls the fabric across the torso to create a sharp, asymmetrical silhouette. The single adjustable strap and high-cut side slit break up the dense jersey, allowing the hem to fall in an uneven, fluid line. It is a study in tension and drape, utilizing the stretch of the rayon-spandex blend to physically mold to the body’s contours.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: The garment is composed of a rayon and spandex blend. Rayon is a chemically intensive semi-synthetic that often requires dry cleaning, while the inclusion of spandex adds a petroleum-based plastic component that limits breathability and contributes to microplastic shedding.
