Dreams Really Do Come True!

 

What if I told you I found a stunning black tie dress that is extremely slimming (on all body types), comfortable (you can wear a normal bra), unique (no one else will look like you), can be worn all year round (because it has sleeves), and that will make a statement but won’t look like you are going to the prom or are part of the wedding party…

Can it be?

Yes, it can be!! This dress is my dream come true!!!! My friend and very talented designer David Peck (of Miles David) and I collaborated to bring you the most versatile black tie dress EVER!

Are you ready to see it?!…….

Front

Side

Back

This simple, elegant formal dress is the perfect silhouette for so many body types! We thought of everything! The color, weight and drape of the fabric allows this dress to hang but not hug while giving a slimming effect everywhere! It has sleeves, which gives the dress a super elegant look and allows you to wear it year round! You could even push the sleeves up when it’s warm outside! Plus, you can wear your normal bra! And every women everywhere said, “AMEN!” I’m wearing shape wear because it makes me feel more secure.

But wait! It gets better!

You can wear it BACKWARDS!

Backwards (keyhole closed)

Backwards (keyhole open)

Backwards (keyhole open and corners tucked in to form a V)

Front as back!

That’s FOUR different dresses from ONE dress!

And if that’s not enough…

…Check out my sister in the dress in navy!

Backwards

Backwards (with keyhole open)

Stunning, right?

Why is the little black dress (lbd) concept only for cocktail attire?! Let’s bring the concept to formal wear!

This dress serves as the perfect backdrop for whatever you want to do, making the dress UNIQUELY YOURS!

Make it uniquely yours by:

  1. Wearing statement earrings
  2. Wearing a statement necklace
  3. Wearing a layered necklace
  4. Wearing an arm party on both arms
  5. Wearing a belt
  6. Wearing a white oxford shirt under it
  7. Wearing a sweater over it
  8. Wearing a fur coat
  9. Wearing a fur stole
  10. Wearing a fur vest
  11. Wearing a poncho or shawl
  12. Wearing a vintage coat over it

Like this:

Backwards (open v) with Fur Stole

The possiblities are ENDLESS!

I’ll post all the different ways my sister and I will wear this dress over the next week, so be sure to check Instagram!

    ABSOLUTELY stunning and pure perfection! A dress we could wear for years! I’m just slightly worried about the return policy. I read that there are no returns on custom orders. Am I right?

      Thank you, Susan! I should have included the return details in the post, so thanks for the reminder. Since it’s not a custom order, you can exchange it for another size or return it for a store credit. I hope this helps and thanks again for the heads up!

    The dress is gorgeous. I think it could be worn in more casual situations as well if they also offered a shorter version.
    Also, please consider doing a house tour! The little snippets I see of your home are gorgeous and I love all of the character. 🙂
