Lousje & Bean Issey Dress

Buckle up buttercup, this dress is over the top no matter what your expectations might be. I am 5'3.5" and thought this would overwhelm my frame but...no, it is perfect. Not sure how they do it but I think this style would suit everyone regardless of height or size. I make a lot of my own clothes but this was just constructed superbly that I couldn't resist. I know that I will most likely visit this site often and purchase because the materials and styles are curated for the person who wants to make their own way and not look like everyone else.

When the Issey Dress was first introduced, I was immediately drawn to it, but didn’t think it was for me. I was wrong. After trying it on, I was totally smitten. Everything about it was and is perfect: the style, material, and its versatility. So happy it came home with me.

Beautifully cut, sewn, and finished, with ideal-for-me fabric--mostly natural (cotton) with some polyester for durability and a bit of spandex for drape and give. The dress is versatile and can be dressed up or down, worn with a T-shirt or L&B sheer tops.

I ordered this dress [in grey check] online after seeing it on Behind the Seams, and it arrived today! What a beautiful dress...the fabric is lovely...it drapes beautifully over my XL shape, and I've discovered that wearing a black or cream Gilmour tee underneath changes it up and gives it a casual look. This dress met all my hopes and dreams...

I saw this dress on “Behind the Seams” and knew it was for me. It runs a little big, but is so beautifully crafted that I know I’ll be wearing it for a long time. High quality fabric, design and style.
