Pretty Mod Floral Dress

This dress is claimed to provide the “perfect fit,” and I really believe that it does. It has a touch of Lycra spandex, my savior, plus a back zip and slit to help you put your dress on comfortably and keep wearing it comfortably! It has front pockets and princess seams, which can shape a garment rather flawlessly, but without much effort. This is the style for you if you are slightly shapely, and you need a piece that works well in a professional environment.

It’s available up to 26W.

Stretch Sateen Dress from Spiegel

I love grey for fall, especially for work. It’s not as harsh as black, and for those of us who are trying to make our wardrobes go further, it’s more easily coordinated with soft colors like lavender, pink, blue, and yellow. Since it blends with fall trends and palettes alike, this Torrid dress is a smart buy.

It’s here, up to size 26.

Sophisticated Fall Open-Back Grey Dress

Take for example this adorable Knee Length Linen Dress in Mustard —

This loose fitting, slightly a-line dress can be worn in any season. Great with jeans, pants or a-line skirts, with a fitted 3/4 or long sleeve skivvy. Otherwise worn alone as a dress. The front has a centre pleat, the back has one fix strap. Both sides feature contrast embroidery details. Freyed edges and uncut threads are intentional. Pls note, embroidery details will vary slightly as each piece is individually hand sewn. Slips over the head, easy to wear. All seams are double stitched and overlocked. (serged)

I love how you can actually wear it like a tunic and not just a dress. This will come handy on days that’s chilly than the rest. I sure wished I wore a pair of pants earlier cuz the weather turned colder as soon as the sun’s gone. Freezing to wear just my boyfriend dress!

I love the “unfinished” touch and other details. They look simple but sometimes, I love that bit about the thing I wear. I love the minimalist look and roughness feel of it. It makes it more unique, don’t you agree?

Knee Length Linen Dress by Pamela Tang

Just a photo snapped last year of me wearing a dress by a local (Philippine) indie designer Irene Pineda. She runs an online shop over at Multiply called Irene’s Closet and used to have a shop at the Archeology Wing of the Power Plant Mall located in Rockwell, Makati City. I reckon she know has a shop along Jupiter Street also in Makati City.

I love the tiered ruffled dress with paisley print in pink and purple crossover straps. It actually has the right length. Looks very dainty and feminine. I only wore it once before I handed it over to my sister as a gift. I hope she likes it as much as I do. It’s one of the dresses I like cuz it’s one of a kind, something you can often expect if you’re into the whole indie fashion scene. It almost feel like you own couture!

More info on the outfit can be found over at Style Manila: Emily Ruf Dress

Emily Ruf Dress by Irene Pineda

I’ve been crushing on dresses with designs concentrated on one particular portion of the piece. I actually almost bought a ruched strapless dress with a large flower embroidery located near the hem but I was looking for something more formal at that time so I had to pass. Seeing this dress by Angel D’Amico of AD LOVE made me think of that dress design again.

Black Dress with Teal Flowers Screenprint, $35

Not particularly fond of Teal but this dress is still adorable. I reckon it’s a great everyday dress. I wonder how this would look like with a different colour combination? White dress and matte gold print perhaps?

Black Dress with Teal Flowers Screenprint by Angel D’Amico

My friends know (and those who read my blogs on style and street fashion) that I love dresses. I wouldn’t matter if I’d spend $$$ on one and go vintage for the next or spot one in one of the flea markets I’d visit. What’s important is it has all the right elements that would cause me to pull out my wallet and take out the cash.

When I came across Lulu’s and spotting this Twirl Me Dress in Heather, I reckon spending $79 would be worth it.

A gorgeous bow with pleating borders the bustline and extends around the back. Dress is cut at the center of the bustline with shimmery ruffles extending down for a wrap-around appearance. Stunning 8″ ruffled hem borders dress for an elegant touch. Flouncing friendly and sexy, this strapless beauty is ready for a spin on the dance floor. Dress is fully lined and has a side zipper.

Lovely, lovely!

I’d certainly let this dress twirl me indeed!

GUNNE SAX 70s Vintage Empire Corset Mini Dress

I like the simplicity of this dress.

It’s got a drop waist which is great for anyone (like me) who is not so confident about their tummy.

It’s a t-shirt dress, but better.

August is a warm time of year for just about all of the US. Now is about the time that the humidity hits and we’re all reaching for shorts, tank tops and tiny dresses.

If you’ve got somewhere to go, I’d get this pretty halter dress from Graziolin. I love how all the colors wrap around in a tiny mini. There’s a bandeau that you get to wear underneath and a totally plunging neckline.

The best part of this dress is the amazing price.
