I'm so excited to share the LoveShackFancy x Target dresses I recently got. I have been wanting to get some new pieces for summer, so this collection could not have dropped at a better time.
If you aren't familiar with LoveShackFancy, it's a high end clothing brand that has the most adorable clothes. Everything is pastel and floral, it literally screams me. Even their stores are a romantic dream. However, the brands is very expensive. I'm talking, like $400 - $800 for some of their dresses. So, I haven't been able to buy anything from the brand, but when I heard they were collaborating with Target I was thrilled.
The dresses in the Target collection ranged from $40 - $60, which is way more affordable. The fabric is different than the typical dresses, but I was expecting this. For being Target clothes, they're an amazing quality.I set my alarm, got up at 3am when the collection dropped, and it was the best decision I made all month. I ordered three of the dresses, and I'm truly so obsessed with all of them! Keep scrolling to check out each dress I got and even watch my try-on haul.
Lou Double Ruffle Dress
This light purple dress is LoveShackFancy's signature look. This dress has a ruffle skirt and ruffle detailing across the shoulders, which is definitely my favorite part. I was drawn to this dress because I don't own a lot of purple, and I really like this light lavender hue, so I thought it was about time I added more of it into my wardrobe.
This dress is on the shorter side, but it's definitely still wearable to so many various occasions. For me, I would wear this everywhere from work to brunch with my friends. The garment has a smocked waist, which means it's stretchy, making it very flattering on a lot of body types. I love this aspect because it can help emphasize your mid section if you like to highlight that area.
I ordered this dress in a small and I would say it runs pretty true to size. According to the size chart, I was an XS, but since the dress is 100% cotton and I'm usually a small in Target clothing, I went with that size. I'm so happy I did because I think the XS in the style would have just fit me, and then it may have been too small once I washed it.
Elise Smocked Ruffle Dress
As soon as I saw this dress on Target's website when I was planning out what dresses I wanted to buy, this one was a no brainer. I absolutely love the silhouette and pattern of it, and I instantly pictured myself wearing. I'm not going to lie, I want to wear this to brunch so badly. As soon as Ladureé opens up, you'll probably see me wearing this there.
This dress runs slightly bigger than the dresses that are 100% cotton. I actually ordered this dress in a small and XS because I wasn't sure which size would fit. I ended up keeping the xs because of the smocked bodice. The stretchiness on top allowed for more give, so the smaller of the two sizes ended up working better for me.
I really like how this dress hits at about the mid-calf, making it very wearable. I would definitely wear this on a normal day, but I could also see someone wearing this to a fancier event like a wedding. I love the contrast of the yellow patterned bow against the while and pink print--LoveShackFancy mixes prints in the best way possible.
Jeanne Tie-Strap Dress
Just like the Elise dress, as soon as I saw this one, I knew I had to buy it! This dress has a tiered trapeze silhouette, which is actually super flattering on basically every single body type. So, if you're thinking of buying this dress, you most definitely should. I was a little worried this would be too boxy and make me look like a potato. I was so wrong, and I'm obsessed with this piece. There's elastic around the top hem, which helps the garment stay in place and maintain a flattering shape.
I love the combination of pastel colors and mixed patterns. My favorite part of the dress is the bow straps. I've never seen straps like this before, and I think it's such a unique and interesting detail. Hey, I'm definitely a sucker for bow details. Also, after wearing this the first time, I realized there are pockets on the dress which makes in 10x better than it already was.
One thing to note though, this dress is on the short side. Don't worry, it's supposed to be! Because of the flowy silhouette, this dress will blow up with the slightest bit of wind (I may know from personal experience) so I make sure to always wear dance shorts under this when going out in public.
I would definitely recommend these dresses to anyone. They're absolutely perfect for the summertime. I know a lot of sizes are sold out right now, but if there's a dress in-stock in your size that you're thinking of getting, definitely try it out!
