x REVOLVE Kiera Midi Dress

This bright green midi dress relies on aggressive, full-body ruching to sculpt the torso, finished with an asymmetrical neckline anchored by an embossed gold-tone snake ring. The viscose-elastane blend provides a high-tension fit that clings closely to the body while allowing for the fluid movement characteristic of Costello’s signature high-glamour aesthetic. It is a study in tension and drape, utilizing hardware as a focal point to break up the saturated color.

Safety Rating: Poor

Analysis: The primary fiber is viscose, a chemically processed semi-synthetic that often involves carbon disulfide in its production, requiring dry cleaning to maintain structural integrity. The addition of elastane for stretch further limits breathability and increases the synthetic burden on the skin.
