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?
