SLOTH
is one of the seven capital sins, often called the seven deadly sins; these sins are called the capital sins because they destroy charity in the person's heart and thus may lead to final impenitence and eternal death. Sloth is defined as spiritual and/or actual apathy, putting off what God asks you to do, or not doing it or anything at all. Acedia is a Latin word, from Greek akedia, literally meaning "absence of caring". Acedia is also deemed to lead to God's wrath. Sloth can also concern wasting due to lack of use or allowing entropy, expanding into almost any person, place, thing, skills, or intangible ideal that would require maintenance, refinement and/or support to continue to exist.

First of all, love all the ruffles--it's the most obvious thing I see that stands out...a lot. I like how the fabric wraps around the bodice to signify how people are sometimes "wrapped" in their own unimportant desires, which I think describes sloth perfectly.
However, I think this dress is a bit flamboyant for the sin. Sloth is portrayed by mostly laziness and carelessness. Your design is too fancy. Blue is the most obvious color to choose for sloth, but this shade of blue is too deep for the sin. I've always pictured that sloth would be a soft hue of blue to represent calmness and a laid-back feeling, but maybe that's just me.
But all in all, I like the creativity of the dress. It's definitely something you need to succeed in the fashion industry. I'm certain you'll go far.
