Hey Everyone!
Do you want to know what my summer wardrobe consists mainly of? Pretty summer dresses. Seriously, I think I might be obsessed. Whenever I’m on the internet I find myself searching for dresses. It’s like I’m completely unaware of the other clothing categories. In my mind, nothing can compare to a delicate, flowing and feminine dress. One of my biggest issues has been finding summer dresses that are unique. I spend a lot of time looking for stand out pieces that everyone isn’t wearing, but I’m not always successful. For that reason, I get a surge of excitement when I discover new designers and fall in love with their clothing! Then of course there’s the sudden disappointment that comes with knowing their clothing is unattainable from a cost perspective. In my quest to find affordable luxury dresses, I stumbled upon Alice McCall. This Australia born designer not only has a flair for beautiful, one of kind pieces, but her clothing is also affordable. Prices range from $200-$500 and she has PHENOMENAL sales!
Today, I’m wearing the Deja-Vu Embroidered Cotton Dress. I am crazy about this dress! I absolutely LOVE her use of scalloped edges in her designs! Just wearing it to take pictures got me SO many compliments. A dress like this needs very little accessories and additional frills because it speaks for itself. That’s why I didn’t wear a necklace and chose to wear only a plain pair of nude ankle strap sandals.
Here’s my look:

It’s never too soon for me to start thinking about what to pack for my upcoming trip to Cape Town, South Africa. One thing’s for sure…this dress will DEFINITELY be going along with me! Stay tuned because I’ll be wearing another one of Alice McCall’s designs later on this week!
What are some of your favorite summer dresses?
Until next time…

This dress looks incredible, this is the exact dress I want to wear to my graduation do you think I could rent this from you? Looking gorgeous
Johnnalynn Lynch says
Thank you Maddison! When is your graduation? I’m going to be leaving for vacation soon and planned to take it with me but I would consider renting it to you. What size are you?
Maddison Cole says
Oh my goodness thank you so much!! Its in late November I’m a 10-12 Australian sizes as I live in Australia.
Johnnalynn Lynch says
Hi Maddison, I’ve been looking around to see if there’s a way for me to insure the dress but haven’t been able to find one. Seeing as how it’s pretty expensive and one of my favorite dresses that is no longer for sale, I’m not sure I can take the risk of sending it to someone I don’t know without some kind of insurance on it. Would you happen to know of a way I can insure a dress?
Maddison Cole says
Hi Johnnalynn I will defiantly have a look at a way to insure it. Im a legitimate person and would never do anything bad to the beautiful dress. I can see how this sounds dodgy and untrustworthy but all I would be doing is renting the dress from you for a few days then after my graduation would send it straight back to you. I hope we can come to an agreement as I live in Australia.
Maddison Cole says
Im happy to pay a bond
