About

A swing dress in 70% organic cotton and 30% SeaCell. The drape comes from the lyocell rather than from elastane, which is why there is no stretch fiber anywhere in the composition.

Materials

70% Organic Cotton, 30% SeaCell.

What the brand names mean

Trademarks on a label describe the fiber, not your exposure. Here is what each one is and what it does not cover. None of it moves the score.

SeaCell™scored as SeaCell

Lyocell with ground Icelandic seaweed mixed in before spinning. It scores well because it is lyocell, made in the closed loop that recaptures over 99 percent of a non-toxic solvent.

Accurate, buys nothing

what it is made of

The Summer Swing Dress is 70% organic cotton, 30% seacell. Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides, a soft, breathable everyday plant fiber. Seacell is lyocell with ground seaweed in it; clean as lyocell, with a skin claim nobody has proven. That composition is what Toxome scores, and it earns 91 out of 100 on the fiber scale, where 100 is cleanest.

FAQ

What is the Summer Swing Dress made of?

It is 70% organic cotton, blended with 30% seacell.

Is organic cotton safe to wear?

Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides, a soft, breathable everyday plant fiber. Toxome rates every fiber on what it does to the body of the person wearing it, and publishes the reasoning rather than a badge. The score covers the fiber, not the dyes and finishes a mill adds later.

How does Toxome score clothing?

Toxome reads each garment's fiber composition and scores it on what that fiber does to your body, not on a brand's sustainability marketing. A higher score means a cleaner fiber. Composition is taken from what the brand publishes, so the score reflects the label rather than our opinion of it.
