Anniversary Dress

Designed in celebration of our co-founder’s, Morgan and Brett's, 10-year wedding anniversary, this dress was created for special moments. Its asymmetrical ruffle, both available in contrast or solid options, paired with a festive mini length makes for a fun and feminine frock. Two zippers, one in the back for easy entry and one in the front, provide comfort and additional styling options. Sides are slightly shorter for a modest, yet surprise sneaky peek.

Fabric Notes

This particular silhouette accommodates a variety of different textiles. Our dressier fabrics, such as failles, taffetas and brocades tend to run slightly more fitted than a more casual lightweight cotton.

Day Gown

Simply put, our Day Gowns make getting dressed easier and more fun! Available in a myriad of lengths, necklines and sleeve variations, this everyday frock, niped at the waist, can take you from coffee to cocktails and anything in between. While the Puff Sleeve Day Gown, in either V-Neck or Ruffle Neck, offers feminity to the max, our Donna Day Gown, with a dropped shoulder sleeve gives a more structured look and accommodates a larger bust.

Fabric Notes

A large percetage of our Day Gowns are made of natural fibers, like linen and cotton. If in the event we use a stiffer or heavier fabric, you may prefer to size up if you are in between sizes. Otherwise they are true to size. Please note that the Donna Day Gown is more forgiving through the bust and arms.

Long Sleeve Shirtdress

One of our very first silhouttes, the Long Sleeve Shirtdress is truly timeless. Featuring a crisp collar, button front placket, box pleat detail in the back and a knife pleat waistline, this classic dress is meant to be worn with ballet flats by day and single sole pumps by night. Whether a flity floral print, a solid cotton poplin, or a bold color block—our Shirtdress is a chic as it gets.

Fabric Notes

All shirtdresses have lined skirts, but typically the busts are unlined unless the textile is extremely sheer. Chiffons and lighter weight fabrics fall closer to the body. If the dress is made of crisp cotton, tafffeta or something of a heavier weight, it may be best to size up if in between sizes.
Shop Dresses

Sleeveless Shirtdress

Similar to our original Shirtdress, but sans sleeves, our Sleeveless Shirtdress is the seasonless dress of your dreams. With a crispy collar, button front placket, box pleat in the back and a knife pleate waistline, she's easy to pair with a blazer for the office, sneakers for car-line or heels for date night. Did we mention she has pockets?

Mod Cape Dress

What do you get when you mix our best-selling Mod Dress with a removable cape? Dare we say the modern Super Woman uniform? Our shift with a twist, featuring our Mod Dress as the base with pockets and an elegant mock neck, looks fantastic on a myriad of body types. Wear her with or without the detachable cape, easily removable with buttons at the shoulders, this dress mixes nostalgia and modern in the best way. Her forgiving a-line fit is comfortable for all day wear with flats or all night dancing with your comfiest heels.

Fabric Notes

We love to create our Mod Dresses out of the most unique fabrics we can find. From flamingo brocade to buttery soft knits, this silhouette can swing it. Depending on the self textile, some Mod/Cape Dresses are fully lined, while others are left intentionally unlined for fit.
Shop Dresses

Mod Dress

Nothing says retro glam like a classic shift dress - we added pockets and an elegant mock neck and, voila, our Mod Dress was born. A silhouette that flatters a myriad of body types, she is the perfect blend of nostalgic style and modern functionality. We love to wear her as is for an easy, polished, out-the-door-in-minutes ensemble. But, flip her around with the buttons in the front, and she transforms into a totally different look as a button-front dress or leave her open as a vest. No matter which way you choose to style her, the forgiving A-line fit is comfortable for all-day wear with a casual shoe or all-night dancing in your comfiest heels.

Fabric Notes

We love to create our Mod Dresses out of the most unique fabrics we can find. From statement making brocades to buttery soft knits, this silhouette can handle it all! Depending on the textile, some Mod Dresses are fully lined, while others are left intentionally unlined for fit or function purposes.

Housecoat

Cheers to the dress that changed our brand's trajectory. This signature style, which can be worn loose and casual with sneakers or belted and tied at the neck for the ultimate desk to date night look, kept our brand afloat during that tricky time back in 2020. An easy fit for all phases of life, she comes with pockets, a full button-down front and a necktie that can be worn multiple ways. If in between sizes, size down.

Fabric Notes

Depending on the textile, the Housecoat takes on multiple peronsas. Made in a drapy crepe, charmeuse or elevated poly-blend, she grazes the body in the most beautiful way. If you're looking for something lighter or looser, try this style in a cotton poplin which hangs away from the body.
Shop Dresses

Le Scoop

Here's the scoop on Le Scoop: her waist sits a bit higher, but her adjustable ties allow you to accommodate your body's needs. She has pockets (obvi) but she keeps it classic with knife pleats at the waistline and a full button front placket. Slightly more forgiving through the bust than our classic shirtdresses, she's old school ladylike mixed with everyday easy.

Fabric Notes

With a fully lined skirt and unlined top, Le Scoop can be made of many types of fabrics. In lightweight cottons or polys she runs true to size, if not slightly relaxed. While in a heavier jacquard, wool blend or twill she could potentially be a bitter more fitted.

Hostess Set

Inspired by the idea of proper entertaining and the bar cart craze, our Hostess Set presents a retro vibe with a modern cropped (but not too cropped) top and flat front, elastic back waist skirt. Updated with pockets and complete with a back slit, the skirt also pairs well with a variety of other tops to mix up the look.

Fabric Notes

Whether made of cottons or twills for a more approachable attire or made of metallic brocades for a festive fete, this set runs true to size.
Shop Sets

Bermuda Set

Debuting for the first time in early 2023, the Bermuda Set became an instant hit. The dramatic ankle length tunic, complete with contrast trim and side slits is the ideal pairing with the matching shorts (elastic waist + pockets) that align perfectly at the waist where the slit begins. With heels and the proper accessories, she can handle cocktails or even black tie; but, with sandals and a sun hat, she's resort ready.

Fabric Notes

From cottons to crepes and brocades to jacquards—the Bermuda Set wows in any kind of textile. If stretch is noted in the material, you will likely be able to size down.
Shop Sets

Knit Set

Whether she has a puff sleeve or a Mod Top, a skirt, shorts, or cropped wide leg pants, our knit sets are almost always a sell out. Designed with an elastic waist, pair with sneakers for a day of errands or top with her matching blazer and ballet flats for lunch with the girls. Our knit sets are the epitome of comfort chic.

Fabric Notes

Whether made of a soft cotton tweed or a buttery knit if you are not busty, the stretchy fabric often allows you to size down.

Lounge Set

Sometimes she has tassels on the sleeve and hem; sometimes she is brocade; often she is a sumptuous knit; always she is chic.Our lounge sets are perfect for one and done dressing. Add heels for date night, slides for hosting at home, or separate the pants and top for a myriad of looks. Our lounge set has a retro twist with a modern feel.

Fabric Notes

Similar to our knit sets, our lounge set is cut for comfort. Our structured brocade sets run true to size while our drapier crepes and knits have more give allowing you to size down.

Jackets

Cropped Car Coat

Swing Coat

Everyday Blazer

Cropped Car Coat

Inspired by Morgan's grandmother's wedding coat, the cropped version of our classic Car Coat is meant to be an everyday piece. Pair her with jeans and a tee to up the ante or wear her over your shoulders with a cocktail dress to complete the look. Fully lined, with pockets, a dramatic collar and a swing silhouette, she adds a retro flare to every ensemble.

Fabric Notes

Each Car Coat takes on a new life with a unique textile. While the fit remains the same, the weight of the fabric can make it feel differently. Light brocades and jacquards hang slightly differently than a cotton twill or faux fur.
Shop Jackets

Swing Coat

By design, the Swing Coat is meant to be the statement piece that also helps you get out the door faster. Running late for a meeting or event? Our Swing Coats turn an average outfit into a WOW moment. Filled with special details like a shawl collar, deep pockets, inverted back pleat and double cuffs—this silhouette fits a variety of body types. Regarding petites specifically, we suggest hemming a few inches to not overpower your frame.

Fabric Notes

It takes five yards of fabric to give a Swing Coat its beautiful movement. Although the fit remains the same with varying textiles, the nature of the textile makes each coat feel unique. Knits are more relaxed and hang closer to the body, while brocades, tweeds and jacquards are more structured and voluminous.
Shop Jackets

Everyday Blazer

Appropriately named the Everyday Blazer (as you can literally toss her on "everyday") this classic cut jacket features an open front creating an easy fit and two breast pockets. Delightful details such as vintage buttons, elevated linings and unique trims, depending on the type of textile, offer a one-of-a-kind feel. Please note that our Boyfriend, Poolside, Bow and Boxy Blazers all have a similar fit through the shoulders, while sleeves and bodice lengths may vary.

Fabric Notes

We source a variety of textiles to shake up this silhouette. From outside the box selections like terry cloth to more evergreen fabrics like tweed, the fit remains the same as we make appropriate edits to the size grading based on knit versus woven textiles.

These flirty skirts add fun to any occasion. We love the contrast waist, chunky hem, or hand fringe depending on the textile. Whether flat front or fully elastic, they provide enough comfort and function (pockets, of course!) for fieldtrips or football paired with our Sivas tee and sneakers. Wear her coordinating top or blazer with a belt and heels for a festive date night or party look. And, as temperatures drop, add tights and booties to show some leg while staying toasty.

Hostess Top

Puff Sleeve Top

Long Sleeve Puff Sleeve Top

Mod Top

Hostess Top

A cropped version of our poplular Mod Top, the Hostess Top was designed to pair back to her matching Hostess Skirt, but as it turns out, she goes with SO much more. With a raised mock neck and a button down back, she can be worn boxy with a high-rise trouser or knotted in the back to create a more tailored look.

Fabric Notes

A forgiving fit, just like our Mod Top, our Hostess Top is designed to pair with her high waisted matiching skirt or other high waisted pants. She's cropped, but still long enough to cover your tummy.
Shop Tops

Bow Blouse

Possibly the most worn style by our designer, Morgan, this feminine blouse is as lovely layered as it is worn solo. Her flowy fit allows comfort and ease while the lavallière bow adds a flirty touch. The pleated raglan sleeve creates an elegant, yet substle puff sleeve that makes her perfect to pair underneath our sleeveless mod dresses.

Fabric Notes

When selecting your size for this blouse, please note the textile. If a sheer rayon, charmuese or poly-blend, you might want to size down if in between sizes. If a heavier woven textile, like cotton or taffeta, your true size is the way to go.
Shop Tops

Puff Sleeve Top

Inspired by the idea of an elevated t-shirt to be easily dressed up or down, the Puff Sleeve Top is a closet staple worth owning in multiple colors. Lightweight elastic cuffs add puff, while a slightly boxy bodice and wide hem gives the top her shape. The back features a single ball button with a loop closure.

Fabric Notes

Though textiles can affect the fit, we adjust the sizing to keep it simple for you. Knits tend to run larger so we offer them in split sizing versus single. As a reference, a size Medium in a woven cotton or tweed, equates to a size S/M in a knit.
Shop Tops

Long Sleeve Puff Sleeve Top

A simple silhouette that pairs back to skirts, pants or shorts, she occassionally features a Peter Pan collar, but also comes without. Lightweight eastic cuffs allow you to push up your for more volume or get down to business. A slightly boxy bodice and wide hem gives the top her shape. The back features a single ball button with a loop closure.

Fabric Notes

Mod Top

Sometimes she comes with a bell sleeve, sometimes with a smocked sleeve, sometimes with no sleeve at all—the Mod Top (like her sister silhouette, the Mod Dress) features an elegant raised mock collar and an a-line bodice. Though originally the buttons were designed to go up the entire back, we quickly discovered that it's just as fun to wear them in the front.

Fabric Notes

As with many of our silhouettes, a knit textile creates a slightly larger fit than a traditional woven cotton or brocade. That said, the Mod Top is a forgiving fit to start, if you are not busty, we suggest sizing down.
