Retrofête Deema Pearl Dress

Linking a few other websites you can buy from whichever site has your size in stock.

SOMETIMES this goes on sale but its usually limited sizes left and they go fast.

You can also sign up as a new customer for email promotions for 10% off your first order on some of these websites, that can really be worth it on large purchase like this.

This is definitely a splurge and I wouldn’t typically buy a dress this expensive BUT. I was always the girl that LOVED picking dresses from cinderella ball and prom in high school (my school was so small they invited all 4 grades 9-12 go to every dance every year because it was to small of a school for them to be able to afford to rent a place for a dance if it was only seniors but for whatever reason everyone got fancy expensive dresses, ALL FOUR YEARS.) Funny to me now when I look back on it. A lot of times the girls traded with friends and bought used dresses but a lot of times myself and most girls also just bought an expensive dress. My point of this story is, and my friends remember this, I was SAD when we were seniors that I didn’t have any reason to buy expensive dresses and get all dressed up head to toe, what felt like never again until my wedding. vs. I was used to doing this twice a year. I loved it. I swear we should all get to go to an adult “prom” some type of fancy ball every year.

I was excited when I saw an opportunity to dress up like prom again. I didn’t know for sure I was getting engaged. I hoped I was but I wasn’t sure. I knew we were having a photoshoot in Paris and that was reason enough for me to wear this dress. I also planned to wear it to the Dior museum, which ended up being just as perfect as I imagined. It was a vibe. It’s such fancy vibes in the Dior galley, it felt great wearing something extra special, matching the art. The only thing better would have been wearing a Dior dress.

I now have a mission to still fit in this dress decades from now and wearing it again in Paris and recreate one of my photos, iykyk. A side by side me then and me now. My whole heart fell in love with Paris and I want to spend as much time as possible there throughout my life.

Sizing. I am wearing a 00. I was the skinniest Ive been my whole life at the time I wore this, my wait measuring about 22 inches and bust 28 inches. I am SHORT. I am 5’0 sometimes measured 4’11. If you’re tall this might look short on you. I thought the length looked perfect on me. See my photos. The most important part you need to fit exactly this is chest so it’s not sliding down or moving around. It wont move if it fits you perfectly. Mine did not move.

If you buy this dress make sure to measure yourself and check the size chart and return policy and watch the dates so you don’t miss the deadline for that if needed so you can exchange for a different size. This dress needs to fit you like a glove because my guess is it would be incredibly difficult to alter. For me, I was afraid the smallest size wasn’t going to be tight enough and I was afraid no tailor would be able to take it in. When you see it in person you’ll understand why, every inch is covered in pearls and the zipper in smack next to the pearls. It would be so hard maybe impossible to alter.

Jimmy Choo also has these shoes that are a twin soul to this dress <3

Together these make a beautiful pair.

Message me any questions about the dress or shoes!!

I heavily debated these being my wedding shoes. Jaden feels they aren’t white enough. They are white but somewhat cream. I decided on a different pair for my wedding shoes but I needed these to pair with my Deema pearl dress.

I won’t lie to you guys, I found an Amazon version of these and got those. Linking both the real and the amazon below. I would have got the real ones if they were my wedding shoes and they were also sold out in my size at the time.

These are the Sacaria Platform 120 –

They come in a platform version and a non platform.

The ones I got from amazon! I was so excited when I found these. I don’t even remember how I found them. I think they just popped up on google. And they came in my impossible to find size 4! ugh! I was so excited!!

Matching Pajamas from Skims

We decided we needed a new pair of matching Christmas pajamas a few weeks before Christmas was almost all of them were sold out but luckily we found these from Skims and they are SO GOOD. Perfect for the cold winter months, the fabric is thick and warm but so soft. I have been living in these non stop – Jaden too.

We are both wearing the Fleece Sleep Unisex Sleep Set in color Cypress plaid.

I am wearing size XXS and Jaden is wearing size M. They run a little big! Which is fine and comfy for pajamas but don’t size up, if you want a baggy loose fit, just get your normal size! They will be a baggy, comfy fit at your natural size.

These are still in stock!

Coastal Cowgirl Open Back Zippered Short Dress from Commense

I originally bought this dress to wear on my Paris trip – I took it to Paris and didn’t get to wear it. Full story below.

It ended up being perfect for my birthday wedding dress shopping in NYC.

I highly recommend brunch at Laduree – ultimate gossip girl vibes. I loved it.

I went to the Madison Ave. location in the upper East side but they have a few locations in NYC.

Funny story I wanted to wear this dress in Paris. The streamer we took didn’t work. We have a wonderful large steamer at home but it’s way too large to fit into a suitcase. We bought a travel size steamer that specifically had the right voltage for Europe. It didn’t work at all. It produced zero steam. I could not get the wrinkles out of this dress and it was too wrinkled to wear. Our Airbnb in Paris has only one machine (washer and dryer combined?) Or are driers not a thing in Europe? Does everyone air dry clothing there? Im still not sure. I stuck my dress in, the buttons were all in french but with google translate some of the options sounded like they would dry. Nope. It dumped water all over my dress and another sweatshirt and I ended up having to take it home in a plastic bag soaking wet (insert crying face emoji). It did not get to make an appearance in Paris.

But it got its chance to shine a month or so later I went to NYC for my birthday to try on wedding dresses and I wore this to brunch at Laduree’s then to Kleinfeld’s <3

I loved wearing this dress! I have loved everything I’ve ordered from Commense. I have a few Commense try on hauls on my TikTok! -No commission paid for the link above 🙂 Click the image of the dress to shop!
