Esme Dress

This gown anchors a traditional, fluid cheongsam silhouette in the rigid, architectural structure of a corset. The heavyweight crepe creates a clean, weighted drape that sits flush against the torso, while the delicate floral motif softens the sharp lines of the functional frog-button closures. It balances a high-tension, formal construction with the ease of a floor-length bias cut, resulting in a piece that feels both sculptural and ceremonial.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: The garment is constructed from synthetic crepe and requires dry cleaning, which typically involves chemical solvents like perchloroethylene. The heavy reliance on synthetic fibers limits breathability and increases the risk of chemical transfer through skin contact.
