versatile

no matter your personal style, darling dearie seamlessly enhances it

i intentionally designed my dresses so they can easily be worn in multiple ways with items already in your wardrobe. they also offer a relaxed fit with plenty of ease whether worn by themselves or over other garments. the deeper armholes are so you can comfortably layer them over tops and still keep the wearable ease of the garment. (you can belt your dress to remove some of the volume, but i think they look more flattering un-belted as well as being more comfortable to wear.)

all my dress styles (gateway, mash-up, super mash-up, even reprise) look fantastic over breton t-shirts and skinny or narrow leg cuffed denim. they equally transition across seasons by offering cooler weather dressing options whether it’s worn over a turtleneck and tights with boots or, say, a turtleneck and leggings or denim.

additionally, the collars can be worn up, cinched at the neck (which shows off the contrasting fabric used) or down and flat, tied up at the throat, or just flat and untied. again, options galore…

below, some snaps of how to style them and showcase just how versatile they truly are!

p.s. - scroll down to see why they are also the perfect garment for both local and international traveling.
