Eloquii Embroidered Red Flower Holiday Dress Review

Eloquii Holiday Black Red Dress

I wore this fabulous dress to a party last night. And as I suspected, I got tons of compliments. Of course, I was a little overdressed, but what is new about that, in California in the San Francisco Bay Area, where good jeans are just as appropriate as a party dress?
Eloquii Embroidered Red Flower Tulle Fit and Flare DressThe embroidered flowers are made of tiny sequins. It is a little big in the shoulders, and a little small and high in the waist for me. I tried the smaller size but it was way too small. I chose it partially because I think “fit & flare” generally works on my body really well.

I love this dress. This dress would not have existed in my size ten years ago so thank you Eloquii. And thank you for Petites, and Viola, for those with larger hips, and for extended sizes. I may try a Petite next time since I am only 5’4” these days. YAY for Eloquii.

Eloquii Embroidered Tulle Fit and Flare DressFor awhile, it had over 1,000 women on the waiting list after Aidy Bryant wore it to the Emmy Awards this year. They have restocked the dress twice and I see that it is sold out in every size once again. BUT, the dress does have a wait list and that is how I was able to buy this dress. It would be as great for Valentine’s Day as it is for the holidays.

A Fabulous Geometric Print From Eloquii!

I have been wanting to try Eloquii for awhile. They used to have a lot of clothing to wear to the office, but now they have added a lot of fun clothes. I fell in love with this geometric print of silver and gold, but as much as I loved it, the arms were cut too long and I could barely lift them when my arms in the sleeves. And the jacket was a little boxy for my apple shaped body.
I don’t have a link to show you because it has sold out. This was a Size 22.

Just for your information, they have some extended sizes to a Size 28. They also have a new line of clothing, Viola, for pear shaped bodies in particular and they also carry a petite line.
I am going to keep trying, I think Eloquii is the future. Sophisticated with a nod to different shaped bodies in the plus size community.
