Coast Enna Dress ($195)

I wore this dress to a graduation lunch this weekend, and I loved it.  Apparently, a lot of people on Instagram did too.  So I thought I would post it here, because while it is a bit pricey at almost-$200, I think it was worth every penny.  It’s the perfect evening work event/business attire cocktail party dress that I have ever seen.

Looking for an ivory dress that costs under-$100?  I like this Ralph Lauren pleated dress, the structured cap sleeve dress is also lovely and I love the woven sleeves on this dress.  And if you are looking for something with a longer sleeve, try this v-neck dress or this gorgeous, simple sheath.

Plus size? I like this $45 dress with bell sleeves.  Petite? This belted cap sleeve dress is lovely.

    How was the sizing on this dress?

    • Belle says:

      The model was wearing a 4, which they said fit like a UK 8. So I bought the six, and it was just a hair too big in the bust (pear shaped) and fit everywhere else. So probably go up one.

    Very cute! I like the wrap look it has. Wrap dresses look great on everybody.

    That’s really cute! I wish it came in other colors, because the silhouette of it would be great to wear to a wedding.

    This dress is making me intoxicated…. Clicked on it a 1,000 times this weekend and today. I rarely spend $200+ on a dress that isn’t silk or wool, but this makes me swoon… Aaarghhh.

    I hear you, Lawgirl!

    I saw this on Instagram over the weekend, like the masses, Belle – and I had the same reaction. I neeeeeeeeeeeeed it. And I rarely neeeeeeeeeeed clothing.

    You looked amazing in the instagram, so glad you posted where to get the dress!

    You’ve got to be kidding with the plus size recommendation, right? It’s a sack… Maybe a belt could save it but if the model looks that shlumpy I’d hate to see how it looks on me.

    Do you think this would be too dressy to wear to work?

    • Belle says:

      The fabric isn’t quote right for work. But maybe if you did it with a black blazer, it could work with black tights in winter. I’d have to see it in person but I’m not ruling it out, is I guess what I’m saying.

  9. Lawgirl says:

    I got the dress! I’m hippier and bustier than Belle, and shorter, which isn’t the perfect match for this cut of dress. But I love it just the same. I expected the fabric to be nicer. It’s thin and pretty snagarific. But the draping is lovely. I wore it’ to my law fim’s fancy evening gala. A cream dress in a sea of black 🙂
