x REVOLVE Tessa Midi Dress

This ivory midi dress relies on a structured, boned bodice to hold its cowl neckline in place, contrasting against the fluid, striated sateen skirt. The asymmetrical, pleated hem creates a sharp diagonal line that emphasizes the leg, while the silver-tone chain strap adds a hit of industrial hardware to an otherwise soft silhouette. It is an exercise in high-contrast construction, balancing rigid internal support with a draped, high-shine finish.

Safety Rating: Poor

Analysis: The garment is primarily composed of viscose and rayon, which are chemically processed semi-synthetics known for a heavy environmental footprint during production. The inclusion of a polyester and spandex lining further reduces breathability and increases the presence of petroleum-based synthetics against the skin.
