Dressing for work during a pandemic was a challenge. Making it more of a challenge was the weight I gained during isolation. These two MM LaFleur dresses made putting together comfortable, flattering outfits a bit easier. And since they’re both on deep discount, you can snap them up for a song.
The Taylor dress is the perfect dress for wearing under a jacket. The knotted front is extremely flattering, and the drape shapes the figure beautifully. The large pocket holds a cell phone and a small wallet. The dress also comes in plus-sizes.
How much do I love this dress? I own it in four colors. Yep, that about covers it.
The Emily dress is the perfect Friday dress. The a-line shape is structured, but comfortable. The square neckline and elbow sleeve are both very flattering. The dress is designed to stand alone, but you can layer on a cardigan if you want. This dress is also available in plus-sizes.

Belle, do you mind sharing what size(s) you bought the Taylor in, for reference? I’ve had my eye on it forever, and now that it’s retiring, now’s my chance! Thanks!
Nadine says:
Darn! They still don’t ship to Canada. Now I remember why I don’t own this dress already.

I buy the 6 normally. It still fits even at current weight, but it’s a bit snug.

Just a warning – if you’re tall (I’m 6ft), the Emily dress will not really be work appropriate. As you can see on the model, it hits more mid-thigh than above the knee and on me it’s even shorter. I’ve had better luck length-wise with dresses like the Taylor (I’m partial to the v-neck on the Annie).
