x REVOLVE Jem Mini Dress

This mini dress relies on a heavily structured, boned bodice to hold its strapless neckline in place, while the skirt is defined by sharp diagonal ruching that culminates in a decorative bow at the hip. The chocolate brown finish gives the piece a grounded, monochromatic intensity that leans into the high-glamour, body-conscious silhouettes Costello is known for. It is a straightforward, architectural take on the party dress, prioritizing a precise fit over fluid volume.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: The garment is constructed from an 84% nylon and 16% elastane blend, both of which are petroleum-derived synthetic polymers. These materials offer poor breathability and high thermal retention, increasing the likelihood of skin irritation through sweat entrapment and chemical exposure to synthetic fibers.
