Owen Dress

This cotton dress leans into a clean, architectural structure, defined by a sharp strapless neckline and a delicate ruffle that traces the bodice. The skirt falls with a controlled, pleated volume that keeps the silhouette grounded rather than billowy. It’s a study in monochromatic minimalism that relies on the crispness of the fabric to do the heavy lifting.

Safety Rating: Poor

Analysis: While the outer shell is 100% cotton, the inclusion of a 100% rayon lining downgrades the garment due to the intensive chemical processing, including the use of carbon disulfide, required to manufacture standard rayon. This synthetic-adjacent lining may trap heat and moisture against the skin compared to the breathability of the cotton exterior.
