Beautiful, well-made dress. The color is gorgeous and the detail in the carefully made folds makes a delicate and elegant element elevating the dress just perfectly.
I bought this dress to add to my work wardrobe. Finding dresses that embrace my culture that look and feel lux for work can be tough state side. However, this is a lovely and subtle way to embrace my culture at work. I love to style it with a belt, and I also bought it in another color. I see this as a fall dress with ways to style it strategically for an early winter and early spring piece. I typically purchase my dresses from Free People, but the quality tends to be poor and the price point is higher than this dress. However, the quality of this dress is far superior! For reference, I am 5’5” and 175 pounds with a big bust and thighs but smaller in the waist — I purchased a medium.
This dress is so beautiful. Unfortunately it did not fit me on top (this is a common problem for me with dresses so it's me and not the dress) but the quality and detail was terrific. I will miss not being able to wear this!
This is a beautiful dress. I wore it to a "cowboy" wedding in Santa Fe, NM in the botanical gardens. It paired perfectly with my turquoise and silver jewelry. I will absolutely be purchasing from the Cardena Collective again.
I loved this dress but it didn’t fit me. I was disappointed though I do appreciate the craftsmanship and the weight of the fabric. I’m sorry it didn’t work out for me. I did try two different sizes and neither one worked for me. I hope someone else will get to enjoy this gorgeous dress!♥️
