This Is The Most Flattering “Everyday” Dress We’ve Been Searching For Since Birth

WHAT: Marcella Clara Dress

WHY: First, we need to admit that we are “dress people.” 

A dress means essentially making only ONE sartorial choice in the morning. Aka, heaven. And with that one choice, as if by magic, we look pulled together, intentional, chic, and often, the best dressed gal in the room. 

But with this dress, change the word often to always.

First, let’s just gaze at this dress together. 

 
 

Forgetting for a moment that we want to live the kind of life where we can wear ludicrously large hats on a daily basis, just look. at. this. dress. 

The elegant nip at the waist. The slight puff of the skirt. And, the pièce de résistance, its magic neckline:

 
 
 

So here is its true genius: while the skirt is made of European cotton, the top is made of a soft, stretchy material with just enough hold that you’ll feel held up and secure. We won’t technically say you can go braless, but we will say that all of us who tried the dress did. And it was glorious. No extra straps. Nothing cutting into our flesh. Just a soft, flattering bodice with a perfect scoop neckline that basically feels like a tank top. Let’s see that neckline on a real, live, non-model lady, shall we?

 
 

And now. The waist. We must discuss the waist. Cut evvvvver so slightly in an empire style, so that it just skims over the stomach, creating a perfect curve. If you have a waist, this dress will accentuate it. If you don’t have much of a waist, this dress will give you one:

 
 

Oh yes. It has pockets.

And here it is a bit more “styled.”

 
 

We personally love a bolero, but there is also a short-sleeved version of the dress HERE.

And they JUST launched it in white, and we are NOT AFRAID OF WHITE. Is it harder to get away with no bra? Maybe. Are we still wearing it with no bra? We are.

 
 

And finally. The length. This dress is a true, honest to goodness maxi dress. So many purported maxis really hit around mid calf, and so we buy these “long” dresses, imagining ourselves feeling lithe and graceful, and then they hit our legs in the most ridiculous spot, actually shortening the look of our legs, and then we just get sad and decide dresses aren’t for us. 

But dresses are for us. Or at least, this dress is. 

It’s the kind of dress you sort of fling on on a Saturday, and almost forget how good you look because it’s so ridiculously comfortable. But then, midday, you catch a fleeting glance at yourself through the supermarket window reflection and think, “Wow. That’s me?”

Yes. That’s you. 

And she is called Clara. We hope inspired by The Nutcracker.

PRICE: $108 - $118
