Please please please bring the dusky rose version back!!
I love this dress very much! As much as I love the Sweetheart to Heart Peach Lace Maxi Dress and the Cameo Breaking Hearts Ivory Halter Dress. They are all gorgeous! Thanks to LuLu*s! I appreciate for having them create something like this and I got to order it and it is all being shipped out to me ASAP. I can’t wait to recieve them when they arrive w/in a week near my front doorstep!!! Thank you LuLu*s and I love your brands as much as I love Victoria’s Secret, bebe, Guess, Marciano and 2bstores!!! 🙂
P.S. Keep up with all the great work you are doing. Can’t wait for more New Arrivals to come in every season or daily.
BRING BACK THE ROSE PINK!
Does anyone have any bra suggestions for this dress?
Petrice, we suggest an adhesive bra, or petals. You can shop our undergarment options here.
I ordered the shorter version. It should be here soon. Im a 32DDD and adhesive bras don’t work. Can I pull this off with another type of bra? Maybe a nude strapless. How can I cover the bra?
Nini, it all depends on how you choose to tie the dress, but a strapless bra could work!
Are all the styles open back?? Does anyone know?
Tania, it depends on how you choose to tie the straps that will determine how open the back is, but they are wide enough to cover if wrapped properly.
I’ve actually struggled to wear this while attempting to cover my entire back, and there are no ways-to-wear options provided that include full-back coverage. A strapless bra also doesn’t work, because the back of the bra still shows. Petals or adhesive bras are out of the question for my cup size.
Some suggestions would be greatly appreciated, particularly as it relates to fuller-breasted women who’d like to be able to wear a bra. I have 2 of these gorgeous dresses and currently, they’re just hanging in the closet.
The dress is beautiful but there’s no ‘care instructions’ tag, and it’s super wrinkled from shipping. Is it safe to iron? Please help!
Faye, we recommend steaming this garment. For further assistance please see our customer service contact info here!
whats the difference between all of the convertible dresses. There’s the tricks of trade and always stunning. Please advise. Thank you
Nina, the dresses differ slightly in fabric composition, length of straps, and length of the dress overall. Please review the descriptions for each item to determine which is best for you!

I just ordered the TIDE AND SEEK CONVERTIBLE CHARCOAL TIE-DYE MAXI DRESS and can’t wait to wear it! There’s an image of the dress on the website that ties the dress up to make it look shorter. I would love to see a tutorial on that!
Do you do fabric swatch samples? And will you ship it to Australia?
l love love the infinity dresses to bits
it was for other bridemaids to wrap this dresses, but lucky for me l had the tutorial steps.
Hello, I am getting married next September & would love to order three of these dresses in light grey.. The website says XS is the only size available left in that color. Will you guys restock soon or do custom orders? I need two mediums & a large dress. I would most appreciate your response!

Loved the rose pink color. Will it be back?!?
Hi Jackie, unfortunately the rose pink color will not be returning. Sorry for any inconvenience!
in the looks from this post section it shows the black dress in some sort of halter style but I do not see any directions on it. I really need some help either finding a tutorial on that style or the style that is a halter but wraps around almost like a bandeau in the dark grey color options shown. Please help!
Krista, we do not have a tutorial of that particular style but YouTube has plenty if you search by “Wrap Dress How-To”. For further assistance please feel free to contact our customer service team.
Is there a maternity version of this dress?
Nicole, we currently do not carry any maternity dresses; however, this dress is very stretchy!
I need this dress in a dusty gray blue for our bridesmaids!!! It’s in April! Will you be doing more colors in a few months??
Hi Jessica, please call or email our Customer Service team, and one of our team members will be happy to look into your inquiry. Our contact page can be found here.
my daughter is the maid of honor in a wedding. All the brides maids are wearing the trick of the trade in burgundy. I was wondering if there is a color match with the “Love and be Loved” Burgundy strapless maxi dress. Please let me know at your soonest.
Hi Lei-Ann, please call or email our Customer Service team, and one of our team members will be happy to look into your inquiry. Our contact page can be found here.
I am interested in knowing how to achieve the original look. The one that looks like a Grecian dress. I do not see it in the demonstrations of the looks. Please help!
Is this dress available in plus size anywhere?
Needing this dress in blush for my bridesmaids!!! What is the prices and how do I about ordering the ??
Samantha, you can see all available colors for our Tricks of the Trade dress here: https://www.lulus.com/products/tricks-of-the-trade-blush-pink-maxi-dress/457792.html
Does this dress come in plus.?
Any styling tips for nursing mothers? Can’t use an adhesive bra. Ideally would wear some kind of nursing bra.
Love the dress!
What is the best way to get the wrinkles out of the dress?
Do you have the dress in bright yellow? Thanks
How do I do a one strap on this like they show in the photo??
If i wanted to steam it, what setting should i put it on? will the heat ruin the dress?

Do you have a diagram of how you wear the dress this way?
The lavender dress looks more like a blush in the photo. Is it more pink than purple? My friend is getting married and wants these as bridesmaids dresses but we want to make sure the color is what she wants.
I would say it’s an actual lavender color. Definitely more towards purple than pink.
Is this dress too young for me? I’m 64, 5’7′ weight 160 size 12. Bust 38C,
I bought one of these for a wedding I was in and loved it! Only problem is that it is long and I rarely wear long dresses. Does this material do ok if it is cut? I’m interested in cutting it to be shorter
Yes, I used normal scissors and just cut the bottom and because it was a raw hem, the dress still looked brand new
Is there a way for us very small busted women to insert some sort of padding or a trick to give the illusion that we have bigger busts? Wearing a strapless bra will still show in the back, has anyone come up with any tricks?
Can these dresses come with pockets?
Hi!!! Im from Mexico , if I want to buy the dress you send it to Mexico City ???
Hi love!
Yes, we do ship to Mexico!
