Fit & Style Guide

STRUCTURED BODY

With its boxier, rigid construction, this design grants forgiveness to all those nagging, (supposed) imperfections.

PEPLUM BODY

Perfect peplum bodies promise a flattering and feminine fit, with a silhouette that comes in at the waist and flares out at the start of the hips.

HENLEY

With its rounded, buttoned and collarless neckline, our Henley is the ideal casual pullover that you can’t put down.

SCOOP NECKLINE

The scoop on our necklines is this: if y'all want a top with a deep curve at the chest, this is the look for you! More conservative than a deep-V, but a lower cut than a crewneck.

SHIRT TAIL HEM

Party in the front, business in the back! Our shirt tail hem is ideal for both work and play, with a shorter front and a longer back.

BRACELET SLEEVE

This sleeve's hem ends just above the wrist, answering the age old question—How can I show off my charm bracelet?

PLACKET

Plackets are like peek-a-boo panels for your buttons! Think: the bottom placket holds the buttons, and the top placket holds the button holes.

KEYHOLE

Everybody knows the key to a Southern girl’s heart is a sweet design detail—that’s why we love a slight, oval opening at the neck or sleeve.

OVERLAY

Sometimes two layers just look better than one! We often overlay lace on a solid color, or trim on a pattern for an eye-catching, head-turning look.

INSET

An inset is a second fabric or trim placed into the base of a garment, that creates a multi-patterned, multi-textured look.

Fit & Style Guide

FIT N FLARE

Y'all can't go wrong with our feminine fit n flare silhouette. Beloved for its waist-defining features and forgiving flare at or below the hips, this shape is always graceful and flattering (particularly for those with a figure that is smaller on top and fuller on the bottom).

SWEEP

Sweep is the circumference of the bottom of a dress or skirt. So when we say our dresses and skirts have a wide sweep, you can expect a flowy, feminine look that’s classic and flattering on anyone.

SHIFT

Lookin' for something comfortable yet stylish? Try our shift dress—it has a looser fit, no defined waist, and flatters all figures.

KEYHOLE

Everybody knows the key to a Southern girl's heart is a sweet design detail that's why we love a slight, oval opening at the neck or sleeve.

A-LINE

Y'all will be giving an A+ to our A-line dresses! Cut close to the hip and slightly flared from the waist down, A-lines are universally flattering because they highlight your waist.

ENGINEERED PRINT

We love creating new, modern prints by digitally fiddling with and placing iconic dressmaker details like lace, as well as imagery from nature, like flowers and leaves.

FLUTED

There are few things better than the feminine, flirty flounce that a fluted hem adds to a dress—it's the perfect kicky detail.

OVERLAY

Sometimes two layers just look better than one! We often overlay lace on a solid color, or trim on a pattern for an eye-catching, head-turning look.

SWEETHEART NECKLINE

Calling all sweethearts! This heart-shaped neckline dips low at the center front, accentuating your curves (even if you don't have them).

INSET

An inset is a second fabric or trim placed into the base of a garment, that creates a multi-patterned, multi-textured look.

Fit & Style Guide

A-LINE

We just love our flattering, waist-highlighting A-line skirts. And we're sure y'all will too! Cut close to the hip and slightly flared from the waist down, our A-lines have a bottom-heavy balancing effect, much like our Fit n Flare dress style.

SWEEP

Sweep is the circumference of the bottom of a dress or skirt. So when we say our dresses and skirts have a wide sweep, you can expect a flowy, feminine look that’s classic and flattering on anyone.

PENCIL

Everybody deserves to feel comfortable while looking stylish! The pencil's s narrow and straight fit offers just that. Plus, it emphasizes great legs and hips.

INVERTED PLEAT

By folding two pieces of fabric inwards on themselves, we add a lovely, feminine volume and clean shapeliness to our looks.

FLUTED

There are few things better than the feminine, flirty flounce that a fluted hem adds to a dress, skirt or sleeve—it's the perfect kicky detail.

INSEAM

Whip out your tape measurers and get measuring! The inseam is the measurement from the crotch to the bottom of the leg opening.
