Product Insights

Issey Miyake's Concealed Knit Sheer Asymmetrical Midi Dress achieves a sculptural silhouette from two square knit panels with bonded sections and side vents, the latter providing ease of movement without compromising fit. The lyocell-nylon blend (75% lyocell, 25% nylon) delivers a cool, silky hand feel with soft luster and elastic recovery to maintain shape, but the sheer knit reveals the body, making the wearer a visual part of the design and requiring a seamless underlayer to preserve the dress's silhouette. A 30 cm hem differential creates dramatic proportion change with wearer height, grazing the ankle at 161 cm and becoming pronounced high-low at 165 cm. The fabric resists bagging but is stiff when wet and requires a mesh bag to avoid pilling, balancing sculptural form with maintenance tradeoffs.
