Carli Mini Shirtdress

This dress is constructed from a midweight, open-work crochet that relies on a structural slip to define its shape. The pointed collar and subtle shoulder padding provide a sharp, tailored framework that contrasts against the airy, scalloped hemline and balloon sleeves. It is a study in texture, leaning into a resort-ready aesthetic that prioritizes volume and high-contrast layering.

Safety Rating: Poor: Chemically Processed Semi-Synthetics

Analysis: The garment is composed of 100% viscose, a fiber derived from wood pulp that undergoes heavy chemical processing using solvents like carbon disulfide, which poses risks to both workers and the environment. While the fiber is plant-based, the intensive manufacturing process often results in a material that is less breathable than natural equivalents and requires careful maintenance.
