Femme Luxe Spring Dresses

For today's post, I have four super glamorous dresses - all from the Femme Luxe* website. Spring is here, and these dresses are going to be perfect for spring and summer vacations, nights out, and more.  I am particularly loving today's haul of gorgeous dresses; they are all super flattering and versatile.  In the winter, I usually wear a lot of leggings and sweaters, so I am so happy that it is now dress up season again, here, in Virginia.

 

There is a lot of green in today's post, but that is just a coincidence. It is just a coincidence, but green is actually a really fabulous and conversational color. It is great for fall (and maybe even winter), but it can also be perfect for spring and summer, if you add some beautiful pinks, reds, yellows, and bright, sunny, summer floral colors.  I have always especially loved the color combination of pink and green; I think they go fabulously together.

First of all, we have this "army green," or "olive drab green," rouched dress. It is such a beautiful color! And it sure is unique - especially for this style of dress. It is in my favorite, original style, which I think is very flattering. This style also makes it great for packing, since it does not seem to show wrinkles nearly as badly as some fabrics. The solid color makes this fabulous for wearing lots of different accessories with it, and dressing it up or down. This dress is in a Size UK6. It fits great on me, except that it is a little bit too loose in the bust, but that is fine. It kind of drapes like a cowl neck on me, but if you have a larger bust it would fit you more like a straight across neck line.  The straps on this dress are not adjustable, but they are stretchy, so I think that helps in fitting most sizes.

Next up, we have this interesting, white dress that is definitely great for a summer vacation. It was nice to find the short version of the white midi dress from Femme luxe that is similar to this. This one is in a Size 6. It is snug, but I think that is the way it's supposed to be, and it still fits me very well, because it is strapless. It is nice, because does not fall down when I am wearing it. This dress does not have any zippers; you can just pull it on over your head, or step into it, because the fabric is super stretchy and comfortable.  I think this dress would be cute to wear with sneakers, flip-flops, or heels - for dinner out or clubbing.  The great thing about this dress is that it does not appear to be see-through, but I would always, of course, wear with nude underwear, just in case.

This darker, green dress has a beautiful surprise in the back; it has two layers of gold chain . I think this would also be a lovely date night dress because of that. This one is also in a Size UK6. The fit is fabulous; the fabric is super stretchy and comfortable. This is another dress you can either just pull over your head or step into.  This is another dress that does not have adjustable straps, but it is also so stretchy making it able to fit most people anywhere near this size.  I was really happy to see that the chain hangs perfectly across the back, and not too loose or tight on me, which is sometimes the case with designs like this.  This is a great take on the little black dress!

Last and certainly not least, we have this dress in a lighter shade of green, that has ruching on all sides, and even in the bra cups. This does have adjustable straps, and also a zipper up the back. The fabric is more like a soft knit, and I really adore this dress, because I think it is so gorgeous and flattering, and not quite like anything else I already had in my wardrobe! This one is also in a Size UK6, and the fit is fabulous. I especially love how it does not create a gap at the bust on me. My bra size is 32B, so, if you do not have a larger bra cup size, this dress might not be a great option for you, but for those of us with smaller bra cup sizes - girls, this dress is especially great.  I love this dress so much! And I would like to see it in several other colors for my wardrobe.

This is definitely one of my favorite Femme Luxe dress hauls, but I would love to know what your favorite piece is from today; please let me know in the comments section below.

Femme Luxe Dress Haul

For today's post, I have yet another Femme Luxe dress haul. All four of these dresses are super glamorous and very comfortable.  Once again I am very happy with every item I received. 

I have mostly reviewed club style dresses in the past, but Femme Luxe also has casual wear, including lounge wear sets. Of course, their gorgeous dresses are my favorite! 

First off, I adore the beautiful shade of red in this satin mini dress. 

I like that has a drawstring on the sides so you can shorten it or wear it out, whichever you prefer. 

For this look I decided to shorten it on one side. 

I'm wearing this dress in a size 10 UK and the fit is very good. 

The dress is made from such a silky and beautiful fabric.  The fabric really does not have much if any stretch though, so keep that in mind. 

The straps are not adjustable but they happen to fit me where they are. 

The neckline becomes a cowl neck on me, but if you have bigger bust this could still work. Red is not a color that I wear nearly often enough, because I really do like it and I often get a lot of compliments when I do wear it.

Next up, we have a dress that's very similar to the one above, but this one is a leopard print mini dress and the draw string is on the opposite side, other than that, they are pretty much the same. 

I am wearing the leopard print dress in a size 10 UK, as well.   This one is made it from a nice satin feeling fabric, just like the red one. The fabric does not have a lot of stretch, but I still found it comfortable to get on and off.  

I like that this fabric has a bit of shine to it, so it's different than other leopard print dresses I have owned for that reason.  

Leopard as another one of those things that is a classic but still stylish and can be unexpected.

This black ruched midi dress is such a fabulous basic.  I said this before about other dresses that I have gotten from Femme Luxe, but I'll say it again.  This is the very kind of item that I would take with me on a trip because it can be worn in so many ways and dressed up or down. 

I really could see wearing this with flip flops to the beach or with heels for a very nice dinner out. 

I am wearing this dress in a size UK 8. The fit is like a glove. 

The straps on the dress are not adjustable, but they do have a little bit of stretch to them.  

This is definitely an item I intend to keeping my wardrobe forever.  

Femme Luxe has lots of other beautiful ruched dresses and in a lot of different colors, as well, if black is not your top choice. 

I would definitely have to say this is the most versatile piece of these four because of the color and classic shape and design. 

There are just so many ways to change up the look with a simple dress. 

This is the kind of dress that makes you look your best because it is so figure flattering.

For a trip, I would just pack different accessories to go with this dress that would really change up the look.

Last, but not least, we have this gorgeous white ruched mini dress with sleeves. 

I am such a fan of ruching, it just never gets old. 

For this look, it's nice to have sleeves for a change. 

I am also wearing this dress in a UK 8. I was very happy to discover that even though this is white, it did not appear to be see through, so I did not have to wear any kind of special undergarments with it. 

It's always hard finding white clothing items that are not see through, so I was especially happy about this one for that reason. 

This dress is made so that you could wear it off or on the shoulder and the shoulders have a little bit of elastic at the top.  I love that this dress is such a crisp white. That is not tint I own a lot of clothing items in.

Femme Luxe Dress Haul

For today's post I have a another five beautiful *dresses from Femme Luxe.
Femme Luxe has definitely become one of my favorite places to look for new dresses.
They have so many beautiful styles trendy and classic and everything in between!

I'm going to start off with this first burgundy midi dress  here because it's a new style to me.
This is another one that I think would be great for the fall season because of the burgundy color and also the long sleeves.
The fabric is nice and thick and it doesn't seem to wrinkle very much, which is great.
I'm wearing a size 10, and I do wish I would have sized up to UK size 12 because it is rather snug on me. 

The fabric is a stretchy so that you just pull in on of your head or pull it up from the bottom.  There's no zipper or anything like that. I like the more conservative length of this dress. The waist has two ties on the side so you can wear it tied in a bow in the front or back, however you wish.

You may recognize the fabric of this metallic mini dress from the crop top that I wore my last Femme Luxe haul post.
I was super happy to find that they have it in the dress version!  Now I feel even more like a mermaid when wearing this dress! I am wearing a size 10 and the fit is pretty much perfect, though I do need to be a little more conscious of these shoulders slipping off in the dress and than I did with the top.  For some reason, I think because they back is cut lower.
Just like in the case with the crop top version, this dress is made with very stretchy and comfortable fabric and there's also a zipper up the back making this super easy to get on and off.

And here is the orange version of the green metallic mini dress. I particularly love this color and I think it is especially fabulous to wear in the summer time because it reminds me of beautiful tropical fruit and it's such a refreshing beautiful color! The shimmer of this fabric really does add glamour to the whole look.

You may recognize this style of ruched midi dress, as well, since I have reviewed it in several other colors.
This time I decided to opt for a size 10, and I can tell you the fit is actually better than the 12 in the bust area and it still fits me in the hips, so I think this is a dress that you could have a little room in the sizing with because it is so super stretchy and comfortable.

This style of dress is definitely one of my favorites, as I've said before. It's just so easy to wear and to dress up or down the style in so many ways.

I love this beautiful deep green color because I think it's going to be especially pretty during the upcoming fall season.  I can't wait to wear it and style it with beautiful cardigans, jackets and shawls. 
As I've said in the past,  I just love the ruched style and I do think it is very flattering, especially as a dress.  This dress does have a lining underneath, and it's very silky and comfortable .

And last, but not least, we have this little black ribbed mini dress with long sleeves.

I decided to go for this in a size 10 as well, and I must say it is very snug, but it does fit.
The fabric is stretchy but it does have a decent amount of structure and it holds you in, and I look thinner in this than I've looked in anything in a long time.
I like that the entire front has the ruched effect with the drawstring so you can make it longer or shorter if you choose.
This could be a great wardrobe staple.
I like the wide V neckline; it's very flattering and reminiscent of graduation photos, and I mean that in a good way.
The neckline is so wide and bold, it's great for showcasing your chest and collar bones and also to wear with different jewelry and statement necklaces, and you can keep it simple as well, and let the dress speak for itself.

This dress is made from stretchy fabric, but it's not super stretchy, so do pay close attention to the measurements, as usual.
There is no zipper or anything like that, so you just pull this on over your head or up from the bottom.
And, in case you're wondering, here are my new measurements:  34B in the bust, 27 1/2 in the waist and 38 1/2 in the hips.  I currently weigh 118 pounds and I'm 5' 2" tall.

Brown Sequin Mini Dress

I have had this brown sequin mini dress for a few years now.  It's another thing I think I picked up thrifting in California.  It is super short, so I decied to go for more fabric on top by adding this red sweater that was a gift from my mother.   I also have this dress in black!

The necklace is a $1 thifted item, and the watch I am wearing is a rose gold one from Walmart.  I love the watch selection they have there!  I have a growing collection of Walmart watch sets!

 

Sleeveless Black Sweater Dress

We finally made it back home from Maryland late last night.  It was a long two days for us!  The first day, we have to go through D.C. traffic in heavy rain...that was not fun!  

We got the chance to do a little shopping, but not much.  I was finally able to get a few pieces of the lemon dinnerware I have been wanting from the Dollar Tree, but just the bowls, no plates!  It's amazing how popular those must be!

Black Sequin Mini Dress

 Happy New Year!

I hope 2018 is a wonderful for one for you, and your family!

I ordered this dress is size large, which is much larger than my usual small in U.S. sizing.  Just pay close attention to the measurements and you should be fine when ordering.   Even with ordering a large, there was no room to spare, this dress fit me like a glove.  The fabric has a little give, so it was still comfortable, and for this club style dress, I think very fitted is a good look, anyway.  The main thing I would change are the adjustable straps...they tended to become twisted.

Yellow Mini Dress

This is the next to last summer-like day we are having in Virginia it seems.  I am going to miss the warmth, but not the mosquitoes!   

Vaughan and I spent the evening putting together a fabulous new outdoor furniture set (blog post to come) and enjoying time outside once it was done.  I love spending time outdoors, how about you?
