Wedding Season is coming!

Well, it happens every year .... Wedding Season! It's pretty much like the first indicator of Spring, even before the buds of the cherry blossoms have popped we hear our first requests for "dresses to wear to a wedding". Now that it's April (!!!) it is truly time to start shopping for the dresses and jumpsuits to wear to all your Spring/Summer occasions. Yes, we will have tons more dresses to come but it's a good idea to get on it sooner than later so you have all your options. Plus if you score the perfect dress now just think of all the future fun you can have shopping for other things instead of stressing about the perfect dress.

Our absolute #1 dress to wear to a wedding is the Nora Dress.... time tested and twirl worthy, the Nora is comfortable and appropriate for pretty much any occasion.
We always have multiple prints available in the Nora!  check out our current selection here (there are usually a few more in store too) Nora Dresses


Our other favorites for wedding season are the Sarah Dress and the Fiona Dress... both of these have a longer, dolman sleeve and for anyone wanting a little extra arm coverage (hello... me!) you will love these two. The Sarah Dress has the signature asymmetrical hem like the Nora and the Fiona falls about knee length with a traditional A-Line skirt. Both so so so beautiful.

Shop FIONA Dresses here.  


It's a little harder to search for Sarah Dresses on our site.... that's what happens when you name a dress after yourself, huh! Ack.
But they are peppered through the DRESSES section and hey, it's a good time to see all the other stuff too.





and of course never forget the slip!! We make the best slips around and they are comfortable and breathable and meant to be worn every day!
Any of the chiffon dresses we make will work well with one of our great slips. If you have a dress that needs a slip, bring it in and we can help solve that puzzle with you!

Wedding season will be a hot topic for a bit so I'll post more later... I do love the idea of a jumpsuit for a wedding and we have those too... stay tuned!
xoxo. Sarah

P.S. If you are new here we make about 40% of what we carry right here in the store! All the Fiona, Sarah, Nora dresses are made here... isn't that cool!?! xoox.

New Louie et Lucie...Again! Yay!


Can you tell Louie et Lucie is one of our favorite lines?! Ah we love it so much! ♥ It is so cute, it is an AMAZING price point, and the best prints! 

L&L always have the cutest prints...I love this summery Asian inspired lantern print! This skirt is the perfect length and in a classic swing-y a-line silhouette. So adorable with a tee for a casual look, or pair with a little button up and a cardigan! Don't sacrifice your quirky style...this is totally work appropriate!


This is also a perfect and classic a-line skirt...perfect for picnics and sunshine-y days. Look so fresh with a crisp white shirt and sandals! Adorable for real...and affordable too!




Look at this adorable, perfect, and CUTE crossback dress! 
This dress is made of Organic Cotton! At $81 can you believe it?!
The sweetest summer dress. You can even wear it with a fresh cardi to a daytime wedding! 
You're welcome ;)

This is the same style dress as above...also in an organic cotton! But instead of sweet and girly this print is classic and sporty for sure! Perhaps take this lovely thing out on a sailboat or a yacht? 







Last but not least is this lovely black, white, and pastel printed version! 
This dress is made of a different material. Slinkier and more generous than the cottons. 
Can you tell we love this cut? It is so easy and comfy-cute!

Dresses for a Wedding... New Louie et Lucie!

We got in tons more from Folly favorite Louie et Lucie! This line makes the most adorable dresses in the cutest prints...and the price point is great too! These dresses are affordable, comfortable, and fit SO well! Hug your curves in just the right places!


The Ginger Dress in Romance is the perfect little number for a wedding! Adorable with a sweet little shrug or cardigan...we recommend the Heart Ajour Cardi by Louie et Lucie! A perfect ensemble. This style is timeless! This faux wrap is GREAT for a busty figure. There is just the right amount of stretch to have full coverage! An easy comfy dress for sure. And only $108! 

If you want something full-n-flirty try this ballet style dress! Louie et Lucie really know what you want. Comfortable. Adorable. Easy. This graphic print is so vintage cute without being TOO sweet! Keep it fresh. This dress is great for a girl who loves to dance! It loves to move! Who doesn't want to be the fabulous girl in the red dress? Try her with some oxfords or t-strap heels ♥

Last in the L&L line up for this post is this adorable wiggle dress. Oh yes. You've wanted body conscious, here it is but made easy! This is a great sweet but sexy little number. Fun and flirty micro dot and floral print and easy neckline but curve hugging! Yes! this one is also adorable with the Heart Ajour Cardi. And let me tell you a little secret...this is made of organic cotton but it's only $95.00! Yes that's right! I know...Sarah even thought I made a mistake on that one, but nope! This dress is super cute and SO affordable. 


 
The adorable Heart Cardi also comes in Royal!
This is the perfect Spring cardigan. We LOVE Louie et Lucie Cardis. 
They are truly the best! Great fits and the perfect weight. 

Did you know we have a great new online store? Easy to shop, and we offer the same great service you have come to know in store. Please! Call or email us with absolutely any questions you may have! We absolutely love to help, whether it be with sizing and fit, or color combinations, putting outfits together etc! We absolutely want you to feel beautiful, and confident inside and out ♥

Lovely Lace

Silks, lace, and the softest jerseys. What else could you want on your body?!?! We have lots of lovely fabrics in the store right now! My personal favorites are these amazing pieces we got from Quinn. Truly special! Lacey, silky, sexy, and most importantly feels like SUMMER!!! 

This lace and silk tee is so great....It's so light and airy! Pretty and super flattering too! Super sexy open tulip back...If you want more coverage wear with your favorite M Rena lace tank ;) 
I love this top paired with the Quinn Lace Pants (Shown Below), skinny jeans, the Stephanie Pant (I might be partial) and some relaxed summer trousers like these by Level 99!





These Lace pants by Quinn are AMAZING. I'm kind of obsessed! They are SO comfy. A wide waistband is super cozy! Plus the tulip style leg makes these have lots of movement and no restriction! Do cartwheels! Super cute with The Lace Raglan tee (above) or just your favorite t-shirt!

Sexy, Slinky, Softest Slips

Folly has an ever-expanding selection of the cutest intimates! Sarah Bibb has been giving you the gift of a perfect foundation for a while now. Her slips are truly life changing and magical!

Need a smooth out but hate the feeling of shapewear? Try a slip! Sounds crazy, but just having that little layer of slippery slinky fabric between your skin and your favorite dress gives you a smooth and easy look while staying so comfy.

Sarah Bibb slips are made with a breathable nylon fabric that is milled here in the USA! Save your $300 hand embroidered silk foundations for special occasions. Sarah's slips are the perfect everyday utilitarian slip! They get the job done! Starting at $68 and all staying under $100, they are a steal. Wear one everyday!


Even Folly Friend and Actress Kristin Bauer loves Sarah's slips!
Kristin is wearing the Ava slip in Black

And if you are a little bustier, try the Erin! 
With adjustable straps, this is a VERY versatile slip.

Beautiful to sleep in, perfect as a foundation. The Nylon we use has STRETCH! This is a great thing about nylon. Unlike your silk slips, this is a real work horse! We even use stretch lace. If you have a problem dress and are in Portland, please bring it in and let us find you the perfect slip!

And if you are on the hunt for an occasion dress, we have plenty of those too! A Slip, a Dress, and an Obi Belt are all you need to get your wardrobe started! :)

Vintage Style Slips

Sarah Bibb's slips are so perfect. They feel amazing, they are beautiful, and they will make your favorite dresses fit like a dream. Slips! They are meant to be slippery! Skip the Spanx. These are just the thing to put a little bit between you and your dress. So gorgeous with the most beautiful lace trim and perfect fits that cater to every body type. Vintage style means so classic and cute...But without breaking the bank! Oh I can just imagine Marilyn Monroe or Elizabeth Taylor in one of these gorgeous pieces! Plus...made in the USA. Support small businesses! And ranging from $45.00-$74.00 they are a great deal. Durable and easy to care for so they will last you!

 
Just as classic...the Ava in Ivory.


In designer Sarah Bibb's words:
Why do I need a slip? Everything you have will fit better! a good slip can change your life.. seriously! All Sarah Bibb Slips are made in Portland, Oregon. 100% nylon exclusive of trim. wash cold/hang dry.

Each style runs a little differently to accomodate all body types.
the AVA is a slimmer cut
the ERIN is more curve friendly
the ALICE is slim cut with extra lacy goodness
the Mary Beth is great for everyone!
