x REVOLVE Raquel Gown

This tangerine gown relies on the heavy drape of a high-elastane viscose blend to create a liquid, body-skimming silhouette. The deep, plunging cowl neckline is anchored by slender straps that crisscross over an open back, emphasizing a sharp contrast between the fluid bodice and the structured, floor-length skirt. It is a study in high-octane minimalism, leaning into the saturated, tropical palettes that define Costello’s more dramatic evening work.

Safety Rating: Poor

Analysis: The garment is primarily composed of viscose, a chemically processed semi-synthetic known for significant toxic solvent use during production, combined with elastane, a petroleum-based synthetic. The "dry clean only" requirement further indicates a reliance on chemical solvents for maintenance, which can leave residues that are potentially irritating to the skin.
