Marija Dress

This ivory cotton dress leans into a nostalgic, bohemian ease with its square neckline and delicate crochet insets that break up the tiered skirt. The bodice features a smocked construction that hugs the torso, transitioning into a lightweight, relaxed sweep through the hips and hem. It’s an uncomplicated silhouette that relies on texture rather than structure, making it a natural fit for high-heat days.

Safety Rating: Poor

Analysis: While the shell is cotton, the inclusion of a rayon lining and polyester-blend trim introduces chemical processing risks and synthetic components that detract from the garment's overall breathability. Rayon production involves heavy solvent use, and the synthetic trim limits the skin-health benefits of the natural base fibers.
