The ‘It’ Dress of the Summer is Actually Perfect For Fall
@iamkristabel
By Dominique Hobdy · Updated October 23, 2020

Who doesn’t like to kill two birds with one stone? As archaic as this phrase may be, there’s something to be said about addressing two wants, needs or concerns with half the effort.

It turns out, the dress of the season lets you do just that.

This summer, fashion girls all over flocked to Rhode’s “Ella Dress” and put their own spin on an already beautiful piece.

Happy birthday to me! I’m starting my 32nd year as I mean to go on, with swishy dresses, reflections and drag brunch (thanks to @shinythoughts aka LuPaul). 🎉💙🎉💙🎉 #SHPbrights #ontheRHODE

The effortless flow, flouncy skirt and long sleeves made it a satirical hit but those same qualities make it the perfect dress to transition into the fall with.

With long balloon sleeves, a pleated hem and an assortment of fun prints, what’s not to love? You can pair it with ankle boots or knee highs and a jacket to tap into its versatility.

While it’ll run you $375- $395, we think it’s well worth it for a piece you can wear for spring, summer and fall (we wouldn’t recommend trying this in the winter.)
