Beautiful new fabrics have been added to our already extensive selection

dot lovers and also, “Pretty in Pink,” where you can find your perfect shade of pink! If you

us and we would be happy to answer any inquiries you have and send you
swatches if you desire. And, before it’s too late, be sure to get your
preppy Nantucket Summer Patchwork Madras dress, still available for a

Style experts everywhere are calling 2008 the year of the dress! It’s
no wonder, dresses are so popular this year, especially in these hot
summer months, when you can stay cool and also, look fabulous. Dresses
are a must have, as they are comfortable, forgiving, and so easy to
throw on!
From our “flirty florals” to our “little back dress”, we offer
everything from a breezy day-time dress to a glam evening dress.

With styles and fabrics for every shape, size, and occasion-we believe
that is not only the year of the dress, but the year of Dress by Design!

Calling all Red Hat Society Women- DressbyDesign will have a booth at the upcoming “Decades of Sparkle” event in Orlando, Florida June 19 - 23. Come and design your own one-of-a-kind purple dress!

Local Buffalo News watchers may have seen DressbyDesign featured on the evening news recently by reporter Lindsay Schwarzwaelder. Lindsay begins the piece by commenting how DressbyDesign is the solution to a problem had by many. “We’ve all been there before, in a dressing room trying on a bunch of outfits, but none of them fit exactly the way we want, this is where DressByDesign comes to the rescue…!”

Read an excerpt from this article below, “Making it work online.”

“Internet companies such as Dress By Design are investing in the idea that consumers aren’t happy with their choices at regular retailers and would prefer to shop from their computer screens, said Marikate Moore, the director of operations for the company.
