The Perfect Summer Babydoll Dress

Happy Friday Eve Friends! I’m so excited to launch this adorable Jennifer Babydoll Dress that I designed with Gibsonlook. It’s officially available for pre-order in white paisley and navy gingham. To celebrate, we’re offering 15% OFF your entire purchase with code: HAUTE15. If you remember how quickly the Jennifer Shirt Dress & Smocked Puff Sleeve Dress sold out then you know that you better order quickly because your size might sell out before you get to it especially with 4th of July weekend coming up. Speaking of the Fourth, the upcoming holiday is actually the inspiration behind the dress design. I wanted a cute navy gingham print mini dress that I could wear off the shoulder to a 4th of July party and other summer events so I partnered with Gibsonlook to create the perfect babydoll dress.

The Jennifer Babydoll Dress is fun, flirty and so chic with a smocked bust and statement puff sleeves. I designed it so that the puff sleeves can be worn on or off the shoulder and both ways look so flattering on the arms and neckline. I know this will be a go-to dress for parties, summer trips, date nights, wedding festivities and so much more. It’s especially perfect for the 4th of July weekend coming up next month.

I absolutely love the smocked midi dress that I designed and launched in April with Gibsonlook, but thought it would be a nice change to go for a mini dress length for the hottest months of the year. I made sure to choose a breathable fabric for summer that is also wrinkle resistant too so you can just roll it up in your bag and put it on the second you unpack it. When it comes to styling the dress, wear it with sandals and a hat for daytime or throw on some heels and statement earrings to dress it up. You can also pair it with sneakers for an easy casual look. My favorite way to style it is to play up the boho-chic vibes by pairing it with a wide brim hat, layered necklaces and hoop earrings. Oh and the white is perfect for brides too!

You may recognize this dress from Beck’s first birthday party. I wore the first sample of the Jennifer Babydoll Dress for his BBQ themed birthday party and I got such great feedback from you all so I’m super excited to finally launch this dress today.

Design details:

I designed it with a cinched bust for a flattering neckline and plenty of stretch so you don’t have to deal with zippers or sucking in. I also made sure to choose a super lightweight fabric in a mini dress length to give you legs for day for summer. My favorite part is the option to wear the puff sleeves on or off the shoulder and the adjustable tie on the cinched bust.

Sizing:

Be sure to size down because Gibsonlook runs large. I am wearing the size XXS and it’s still comfortable a spacious enough to move around in. It’s also super bump friendly because their is plenty of room though the body of the dress. ***Full disclosure about the length: I’m hemmed mine 1.5 inches. Totally not necessary, but I’m only 5 ft and I like my mini dresses extra short.***

The white color is fully lined though the body so you don’t have to worry about it being see through. However, you do need to wear a nude bra or nipple covers with the white dress because the bust isn’t lined.

MY SIZING AND HEIGHT FOR REFERENCE:

Most people don’t realize how petite I am so and I understand that knowing my sizes can help you determine what size to get.
I am 5 ft and I wear a size 27 in high waisted jeans & smalls in leggings. I’m currently a 34B and take size XS/S in dresses and tops, smalls in sports bras, and XS-S in outerwear. I typically size down in Gibsonlook pieces. I’m wearing a size XXS in the Jennifer Babydoll Dress.

How To Give Your Summer Dresses Fall Vibes

August 13, 2019

Hey everyone, today I’m showing you how to give your summer dresses fall vibes with Sole Society! If you live in the south like myself, then you know it’s way too hot to even entertain the idea of buying new jeans and chunky sweaters. What you can do though is take the outfits you already own for summer and add a cozy twist to transition into fall. The easiest way to do this is by throwing in some fall accessories like hats and bags or even ankle booties like I did in today’s outfit post. Scroll through this post to see how I gave this little summer dress a touch of fall with my accessories from Sole Society.

What to Wear When It’s Haute! Part 3

June 25, 2015

It’s still hot people! It’s STILL hot, but don’t worry because I still have more of ‘what to wear when it’s haute’ outfit posts coming for you! You may recognize today’s dress from a recent photo if you follow me on Instagram. You also might notice that I have featured this same style dress in a few different prints on my blog including Jazz Fest. See (here). That’s because the Bella style dress by Show Me Your Mumu is amazing and it comes it different prints year round so I tend to scoop it up in fun new print every season! I got this particular print from Herringstone’s Boutique.

In case you’ve never heard of Fotostrap, it’s the camera strap that gives back! I first heard about the brand from my photographer, Kaela when I noticed her customized camera strap with her logo. She told me you could even get your initials monogrammed on the strap. Then I recently learned that with every purchase, Fotostrap donates 10% to Fotolanthropy, a non-profit that gives portrait sessions and short films to inspiring people who are overcoming adversity. “By choosing Fotostrap, you are directly helping to fund Fotolanthropy! It is because of our Fotostrap customers that Fotolanthropy can continue to give, capture and share inspiring true stories.” Learn about this movement by visiting www.fotolanthropy.com
