This next dress started off as a short dress and we decided to create a maxi version of it too! We love both versions (I'll share the short one later tonight) so it's up to you to pick your favorite. We named this maxi dress The Weekender because it represents comfort and relaxation. It's literally the most comfortable dress I own and is perfect for a little weekend trip! In this first styling a wore a big comfy lace scarf, clogs and sunnies. This is an easy styling for a brunch date or a trip to the farmer's market.
In this next styling I borrowed Emma's pretty lace tunic and paired the dress with heels and a red bag. This is slightly more dressy and a styling I would wear on a date or to a party.
My last styling is perfect for a quick overnight trip. I love mixing stripes with stripes. It's weird, but fun! Pattern mixing is probably in my top 5 guilty pleasures.
We're so excited to realease these dresses this coming Monday night (6pm cst). Thank you for your support + kind words! xxoo. elsie

Nice!! I love look #2... so cute with that sheer wrap. I also really like the clogs in look #1. I would love some like that for summer.
Take care ladies, wonderful work!

I love this dress! Casual long dresses are essential. I especially love it with the blue shoes in look #3. Also, the sunglasses in look #1 are amazing - I've been looking for ones just like that!

Awesome! Can you tell me how long the shorter one is? My favorite look is the third. I love how the blue shoes, the pink bag and striped scarf go so well together. Thanks!
