Xanthi V Neck Maxi Dress

This flame-hued gown uses a semi-sheer mesh to create a high-contrast, sculptural silhouette. A deep, plunging halter neckline anchors the bodice, while a sharp front-twist detail gathers the fabric across the torso to emphasize the high-thigh slit. It is a masterclass in the kind of sun-washed, high-glamour evening wear that defines the Sydney aesthetic.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: This garment is constructed primarily from polyester and elastane, both of which are petroleum-based synthetic fibers. These materials lack natural breathability and may trap heat and moisture against the skin, while also posing a risk for microplastic shedding.
