x REVOLVE Skylar Maxi Dress

This dress leans into high-drama movement with tiered fringe that descends from a structured, surplice-style bodice. The ivory viscose fabric is pleated to create a subtle, light-catching sheen, while the open back and thigh-high slit keep the silhouette lean despite the heavy vertical texture of the fringe. It’s a modern take on 1920s flapper geometry, stripped of the usual ornamentation to focus entirely on the kinetic energy of the hemline.

Safety Rating: Poor

Analysis: The garment is constructed from 100% viscose, a chemically processed semi-synthetic fiber that requires intensive solvent use during manufacturing. Its "dry clean only" designation further suggests a chemical burden from cleaning solvents and a lack of washability that can trap allergens against the skin.
