Attribute deep dive

We break down what drove each score so you can weigh trade-offs.

Quality Analysis 60/100

This Alaïa maxi dress, crafted from a lightweight jersey blend of 96% viscose and 4% elastane, is designed for a slightly loose fit and features a dry-clean-only care instruction. The "lightweight" fabric and dry-clean-only care suggest a garment that prioritizes drape and aesthetic over ruggedness, indicating a lower durability score.

Comfort Assessment 80/100

This maxi dress, crafted from a blend of viscose and elastane, offers a comfortable, slightly loose fit that can be cinched at the waist with a tie belt for a personalized silhouette. The "artfully draped jersey" suggests a soft, flowing feel against the skin.

Sustainability Impact 70/100

This maxi dress is crafted from 96% viscose, a semi-synthetic fiber often derived from wood pulp, and 4% elastane. Without further details on the sourcing or manufacturing processes, it's difficult to assess its full environmental impact.
