  • If you have waited untELLE today to find the perfect feminine frock, look no further than the #linearELLEMAXI (!!!) With the most standout features of any styELLE we have ever made, this new version of our bestselling style will be the (maxi)dress of your dreams!


    IT'S A CINCH!  SHIRRly you'll want to know about all the incredible ways we made this linear look a cut above the rest. Let's start from the top (literELLEy). If you want to create some drama on this dress, simply cinch! Give 'em the 'cool shoulder' when you tighten the drawstrings at the sleeve for some extra flair (you'll most definitELLEy take a 'bow' for this one). We added shirring in at the front and back 'yolk' (the pattern piece that accentuates the neckline) and finished it off at the billowy sleeve cuffs.  Want to add structure to your silhouette? Try adding the matching bELLEt (belt, if that was too 'punny' to read). Needless to say, this option will make you feel more 'pulled together' (hehehe).  
     
    ZIPPITY-DO-DA! The front facing zipper on this linear look means you can wear it  more than one way! Move the zipper  down at your neckline for a 'V' cool shape that's V nursing friendly too! Keep it closed to show off the modern-day ruffled 'Victorian' collar that is sure to turn some heads.

    RUFF'ELLE'S 
    The standout ELLEment that makes this frock flow is the ruffELLE finish that distinguishes the top from the drop waist 'skirt' of this style. It's so nice, we added it thrice (3 tiers for that!!) And, it gives this dress the right amount of drape that begs to be take out for a literELLE spin meant to be taken to the max(i) :)

    POCKETS Yes, this deserves its own paragraph  (nay, exclamation points) !!!

    Looking for an ELLEvated styELLE this season? No need to tELLE you what to do next...just buy 'her' now :)  

  • BLONDE MODEL IS 5'9, SIZE 4 AND WEARS XS/S
    BRUNETTE MODEL IS 5'5, SIZE 14 AND WEARS M/L

    FIT NOTES/ SIZE GUIDE

    This a-line style is flowy and can accomodate multiple sizes because of its adjustable sleeves (runs bigger than other linear styles, but drapes beautifully!). Sizing is based on length of dress and  sleeves as well as width by neckline,chest and sleeve cuff opening. If you are between sizes on the chart, you can definitely size down if you want it shorter/less flowy in the body. Stay with your true size for maternity so you'll have room to grow! Based on customer try-ons, petites who were somewhat in the M (8/10) sizing still opted for the XS/S because of length. 

    XS/S- 0/2/4/6/8 (great for petite frames)
    M/L- 8/10/12/14
    XL(PLUS)- 16/18/20

    STANDOUT FEATURES OF THE ELLE MAXI
    -TAKE A BOW- The drawstring sleeve detail means you can adjust the shoulder for a cool pleated effect. Just make sure to finish off with a bow (both kinds)!
    RUFFLES!!- On the Victorian collar as well as the bottom half of the frock. The ruffled tiers really give the dress a bit of controled weight (dont worry, its not heavy) that helps the overall style settle nicely instead of looking like a tent (hehe).
    -SHIRRING!!- It's all over this garment and really helps with the draping of the dress. Think the front has got it all? There's drama in the back enough to make a grand exit!
    -BELT- The matching belt can be tied in a knot, or can be can be double wrapped as a second style option
    *please note that if you choose to return this garment (for whatever reason), the belt must be returned together with the dress in order to receive a full refund
    -POCKETS (you know you need them) !!!
    -FABRIC- The airy fabric paired with the perfect print really ELLEvates the look making it dressy enough for your fanciest event (unless you're the bride,lol)
    -ZIPPER - it's front facing so you can easily adjust the neckline based on your modest preferences...and it's nursing friendly too!

    LENGTH/WIDTH GUIDE: Approximate lengths from shoulder to front hem at its shortest point. All measurements are taken when dress is on a flat surface and the sleeves are not cinched. Approximate chest/hips measurements are measured across. Double for complete circumference.

    XS/S
    Chest: 24.5 inches
    Hips 24.5 inches
    Arms: 30.5 inches
    Length: 55 inches

    M/L
    Chest: 26.5 inches
    Hips: 26 5 inches
    Arms: 31 inches
    Length: 55 inches

    XL (Plus)
    Chest: 28.5 inches
    Hips 28.5 inches
    Arms: 31.5 inches
    Length: 57 inches

    GUIDE TO FINDING YOUR MEASUREMENTS:

    LENGTHS- Place a measuring tape at the center point of one of your shoulders (Also known as HPS- High Point Shoulder). The '0' (zero) on the tape should be your starting point. Drop the tape and let it hang. It helps to look in a full length mirror to determine the length that suits you (If you prefer above, on or below the knee). For reference, average lengths (depending on your height) fall between 37-41inches on size XS. Since everyone's torso/leg lengths are different (even if two people are the same height), coverage length can never be exact. For all styles, we list the approximate lengths of our dresses measured from HPS. Please check the lengths to see if they work for you.

    WIDTHSChest- Position the '0' (zero) of the measuring tape underneath one armpit aligning it   as much as possible with the center part of your bust. Wrap around the circumference of your chest area until the tape matches point zero from the backside. Keep in mind that knits (stretchy styles) can accommodate widths that are broader than the listed dimensions due to fabric forgiveness, while wovens (fabric with minimal or no stretch) will only 'give' to a certain point. Usually, patterns are adjusted to work for sizing when the fabric is woven.

    HIPS- Repeat steps for measuring Chest, but start at the widest point of hips.

    ARMS- Repeat steps for measuring Chest, but start under armpit and measure around biceps. For arm length, measurements are taken from the HPS (where the shoulder meets the neckline) down to the end of the sleeve.

  • THIS FABRIC IS LIGHT AND AIRY. IT HAS A SILK LIKE HANDLE BUT HAS A BIT MORE OF A CREPE-LIKE TEXTURE.

    PLEASE NOTE THAT WHILE THIS FABRIC IS NOT SHEER, THE OPACITY LEVEL IS NOT COMPLETELY OPAQUE. A VERY FAINT OUTLINE OF THE BODY IN CERTAIN AREAS MAY BE VISIBLE IF YOU ARE STANDING IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT. BECAUSE THE DESIGN IS VOLUMINOUS, IT IS NOT EASILY VISIBLE. THE BLONDE MODEL IS NOT WEARING A SLIP IN THE IMAGES, HOWEVER, THE BRUNETTE MODEL IS WEARING A MAXI FLIP SLIP JUST TO SHOW THE DIFFERENCE (IF YOU DON'T NOTICE IT, IT IS BECAUSE IT IS VERY HARD TO SEE THE SHEERNESS OF THIS GARMENT, WE MENTION IT ANYWAY FOR MODESTY PURPOSES) FOR THOSE THAT PREFER A BIT OF EXTRA COVERAGE, WE SUGGEST CHECKING OUT OUR SLIP COLLECTION

    100% POLY CREPE

    HAND / MACHINE WASH COLD ON DELICATE CYCLE. LAY FLAT TO DRY. STEAM OR IRON INSIDE OUT ON LOW HEAT, OR FOR BEST RESULTS, DRY CLEAN SUGGESTED.
