Casual Dress Fabrics and Health

Q1: Why are casual dresses so popular?
A1: Casual dresses are loved for being comfortable, versatile, and easy to wear. Unlike formal dresses, they focus more on comfort and freedom, making them suitable for shopping, gatherings, or work. With growing awareness of health and sustainability, consumers now pay attention not only to style and cut, but also to whether the fabric is safe, eco-friendly, and skin-friendly.

Q2: What fabrics are commonly used in casual dresses and what are their features?
A2:

Cotton: Soft, breathable, and skin-friendly, perfect for summer.
Linen: Highly absorbent and quick-drying, cool and fresh but prone to wrinkles.
Viscose/Rayon: Smooth with excellent drape.
Polyester: Durable and wrinkle-resistant, though less breathable.
When choosing fabrics, comfort and appearance are important, but consumers should also consider whether harmful substances are present in the production process.

Q3: What harmful substances might be found in traditional fabric production?
A3: In conventional textile manufacturing, some factories use chemicals to cut costs or add functionality. The most concerning are:
Formaldehyde
Often used in “wrinkle-free” or “anti-shrink” finishes.
Residual formaldehyde can irritate skin and airways, causing allergies, rashes, or breathing issues.
Azo Dyes and Aromatic Amines
Cheap dyes may release aromatic amines after decomposition.
These are linked to allergic reactions and potential carcinogenic risks.
Heavy Metals (e.g., lead, cadmium, chromium)
Found in some low-grade dyes, long-term exposure may stress the liver and kidneys.(Reference: OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, https://www.oeko-tex.com)
Q4: How can consumers choose safe casual dresses?
A4:
Check labels: Look for certifications like OEKO-TEX® or GOTS.
Check finishing: Avoid extremely cheap “wrinkle-free” or “shrink-proof” products.
Wash before wearing: Helps reduce chemical residues.
