Xanthi Halter Maxi Dress

This midi is defined by a deep bitter-chocolate mesh that wraps the torso in a series of strategic gathers, anchoring at a low-slung drop waist. The cross-back construction leaves the shoulder blades exposed, pulling the fabric into a fluid, diaphanous skirt that moves with a weightless, architectural quality. It leans into the brand’s signature Australian minimalism, trading heavy embellishment for the tension between the fitted bodice and the sheer, airy drape of the hem.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: The garment is composed primarily of polyester and elastane, both of which are petroleum-based synthetic polymers. These materials offer poor breathability and can trap heat against the skin, while posing a risk of microplastic shedding and chemical transfer during wear.
