Desperately seeking dress brand name!

Westport_belle

I've seen a range of dresses online on various Irish boutique websites and by the time I get around to trying to buy one, they're sold out :mad:

Obviously none of the boutiques want to divulge the name of the brand, but I'm desperate to find out the brand name and where I can buy one of the dresses.

Maybe somebody can help?

Attached is a pic of a few dresses from the range.

Thanks!

Ruby Rouge in Gorey are stockists and Ollie and Mac in Navan. They're the two I can remember offhand.

saggycaggy

yeah the dresses on that website are gorgeous and really different.

I discovered them on 9th May last year-I had just given birth to my daughter that day and she was fast asleep and the woman beside me gave me her Grazia magazine and Virgoslounge dresses featured in it! (Some random information there!)

Anyway just looking through the website I noticed this dress

I have a wedding in Portugal in August (so v.hot) and was wondering do you think it would be suitable?? Would that yellow be a hard color to pull off on Irish skin??

Gorgeous dress saggycaggy, I know I wouldn't be able to pull off that colour with my skin tone, that bit too much of a pink undertone, but if you have any hint of olive in your skin tone or if you're sort of 'porcelain pale' i'd say go for it!
If it was me I'd pick up a yellow t-shirt somewhere and wear it for a few days, and maybe try it with fake tan too to see if the tones look well together.

Also have them in Divine boutique in Maynooth.

One absolute gem of a tool is google image search. There have been a couple of occasions where I loved a dress an irish boutique posted on facebook but by the time I went to buy it the sizes were all sold out. Then I discovered google image search where basically you upload the picture and it searches and finds websites that the image appears on. So you can usually find out the brand at the very least and often can find websites selling the same dress. the power of the interwebs! :P

My skin tone is pale olive and yellow washes me out completely. Wearing only yellow jacket or top is not that bad but dresses look dreadful on me. I'd pick another color unless you are dark.

The yellow dress is absolutely gorgeous. Would be lovely for a wedding abroad.
I'm so pasty my skin almost takes a blue tone, but a LITTLE bit of fake tan works wonders.

Ordered a dress from Virgos Lounge this morning, so am delighted.

Saw another really lovely one this morning though in their summer collection, same shape as the yellow one but maybe a little bit kinder to pale skin.

Would be lovely with a statement necklace I think......



Happy shopping!

PS. Thanks for the Google Image search tip - will be making use of that from now on!

saggycaggy

Thanks for the replies re the yellow dress-it's quiet a bright yellow so I just don't know, defo up the tan a notch or two if I did go for it :P-but loads of other ones to choose from at least.

What dress did you order Westport_belle?? The Jade dress is beautiful too.

I'm of the pale and red hair variety and yellow doesn't actually look awful on me! I have an awesome sunshine yellow jacket It's more pastel or lemon shades that I'd stay away from. If they have a good returns policy I think it's worth a shot trying it on, or if you're near Maynooth see if Divine have it.

I bought the Denise dress in midnight blue. It's for a winter wedding (how prepared am I?!) so if it fits well and the quality is as good as I'm hoping it will be, I'll consider it a great bargain!

Hey, did the dress arrive? Wats the quality and sizing like? I really like some of the stuff on their website.

saggycaggy

I meant to ask this too!! I love the Denise dress and it would be perfect for a couple of winter weddings I have this year so would love to know what it's like also!
