As a shopping editor, I keep track of new releases all day, every day. Each year, as summer approaches, my mission is to find myself the perfect white dress [1]. It's basically the LBD of the season. I have always had a tough time discovering a design both flattering and on-trend — half the summery options out there are just loose shifts to throw on over swimsuits. I want something I can easily dress up or down.
Then, I discovered Billie the Label [2]. This new brand (offered in sizes 0-14) sells classic silhouettes with cool details that make them the elevated staples of my dreams. If Reformation and Everlane had a baby, I'd name it Billie.
When I tried the brand for myself, I instantly fell in love with this Billie the Label Eleanor Dress [3] ($178) — the quality and fit are straight-up perfection. I literally gasped when I opened the package because the dress was even better in person; a figure-flattering a-line skirt, fashion-girl puff sleeves, and a sturdy zipper make it the ideal summer dress. At last, I found it!
As a girl with a smaller waist and wider hips in proportion to each other, I couldn't ask for a better cut. I also don't have to wear a bra with it, which is a rare win for a D-cup. If I don't sell it for you, just look at Martha Hunt wearing it [4] like the style icon that she is. It's comfy enough to put on when I'm chilling around the house, but I can't wait to dress it up with strappy heels a couple month down the road.
Ahead, I'm giving you all the shopping details — the dress comes in black and plaid as well. Make sure to take a look and treat yourself while you can. I'll be going back for another colour — it's that good.
