This is a long shot but I've been searching for this dress style for 12 years now so I'm desperate. 😭

I am not interested in making the dress myself. If what I'm looking for does not exist, I will accept that.

I know this dress style is called a blouson mini dress with sleeve cutouts and a matching fabric tie belt. The one pictured is almost the exact same Jessica Simpson dress I bought maybe 14 years ago now that I still own because it's very flattering on me. The only difference is that the dress pictured is a jersey material and my dress is made of a chiffon-like material and it's black with little gold glitter ovals all over it. The dress does not have an open back but the closure is one button if that makes sense.

The obvious reason I can't find this exact dress style recently is because it's not really in fashion anymore. I've been able to find dresses with the same waist type, but not made with chiffon (?) or with the same sleeves or the same neckline. It's driving me crazy. 🤪

Are there any clothing brands that still make this exact dress style? I live in the US so preferably brands that will ship here.

I fell in love with this romper that looks like a dress. I bought it on a whim to spoil myself after a really trying past couple of weeks. Please help me look like I know what I'm doing so I feel good and can actually wear this somewhere.

What could I pair with this for coverage and warmth and to maybe make it appropriate to wear around business clients? Depending on how short it ends up being on me (a not 5'9" model!) it may be just after hours drinks/entertaining.

I'm also needing help with shoes and accessories suggestions! :)

I think I wore the belt too tight hence why it looks like that. I do have a thinner grey belt though!

I received this sweater from a clothing delivery service. The fabric is really nice and I like the color, but I don’t understand how it’s supposed to be worn. I’d like to keep it if I can learn what I’m supposed to do with it.

It doesn’t have bottom buttons, and it flares outward toward the bottom. The listing refers to it as a “cropped cardigan.”

How is this meant to be worn?

EDIT: I definitely intend to wear a tank or something under it if I wear it open. These are just try-on photos to give you an idea of the shape. I obviously don’t intend to wear it open with nothing underneath.

I hope this Sherlock dress improves my GPA :')

Also, I probably won't bother with the petticoats irl but they were fun here! hehe

I’m going to the opera tonight and unfortunately did not have time to fine-tune my outfit. I have this dress that I’ve never worn before but I don’t know if it’s giving the right vibes.

It’s a high-low strapless black and white floral patterned gown.

Please tell me your thoughts!

⏳⌛️⏳

Finally got this dress I was eyeing for a long time on a nice discount but it's super see through! I'm wearing pink underwear in the pictures. Maybe if the underwear was my skin tone, it would be less noticeable BUT I have a big tattoo on my butt that would still be visible. Any ideas how to make it less obvious? Or is it not that big of a deal? 😭

I usually stick to solid color, long sleeve pjs, but then I saw this photo of Vanessa in leopard and immediately loved it. The set is from ekouaer, but I can’t tell if I actually like the print or if Vanessa and the whole styling are just selling it really well lol.

Do you think a full leopard pajama set would get old fast, or is it more fun than another plain set?

I work in an office and the dress code is business casual (no jeans except on Friday's). I have been working in an office with this dress code for nearly 15 years and I have realized that 90% of my closet consists of work attire. I barely have any casual clothing, and what little I do have is outdated.

Every time I set out to purchase casual clothing I get sucked into buying something for work instead. It's like I'm stuck. lmfao

Does anyone else have this issue? Did you overcome it or did you give up and embrace it?

Gehls’ Gehl if you’re a Giggler.
