Esme High Split Maxi Dress

$159

This petal-pink gown uses a heavyweight, high-sheen satin that holds its structure through the bodice before falling into a weighted, fluid skirt. The square neckline and side-ruched waist create a sharp geometry that balances the soft, almost confectionery tone of the fabric. It leans into the Y2K-revival aesthetic, relying on a high thigh slit to break up the dense, opaque polyester weave. Material Safety Rating: 1. This garment is constructed primarily from polyester and spandex, both of which are petroleum-based synthetics that lack breathability and carry a higher environmental footprint.

Esme High Split Maxi Dress

$159

This gown is cut from a substantial, high-sheen polyester satin that holds its shape through the bodice before falling into a fluid, floor-length skirt. The square neckline and side-slit construction lean into a 90s minimalism, while the subtle waist draping breaks up the otherwise linear silhouette. It is a dense, structured garment that relies on the weight of the fabric to create its drape rather than a traditional bias cut. Material Safety Rating: 1. This garment is constructed entirely from synthetic polyester and spandex, which are petroleum-based plastics that lack breathability and release microplastics into the water system during laundering.

Esme High Split Maxi Dress

$159

This dress is cut from a heavy-weight, buttermilk-toned satin that catches light with a dense, liquid sheen. The bodice features a sharp, squared neckline and thick straps, while the side-ruched waist draws the fabric across the torso to create a clean, intentional tension that flows into a deep thigh-high slit. It leans heavily into the minimalist slip-dress silhouettes of the late 90s, functioning best as a structural foundation that relies on the weight of the fabric to maintain its shape. Material Safety Rating: 1. This garment is constructed entirely from polyester and spandex, which are petroleum-based synthetic fibers that are non-biodegradable and often treated with chemical finishes.
