When Nicci from Second Stories launched her first collection of made to order pieces, I immediately suggested that we work on an exclusive dress together for the DDE. I have always loved her commitment to slow fashion and with each dress being hand made in Ukraine by skilled artisans, I am thrilled to champion what she does.

We chose this wonderful cobalt blue with white embroidery as it reminded us of hot summer days. It looks great worn loose for ease and then use the matching belt to cinch in the waist. The detailing and fit on this dress is incredible and testament to Nicci’s eye for detail. As always, I hope the below styling inspires you and keep an eye on the DDE grid for the reel on Sunday.
