The Becky Dress - new product from Becky Higgins

But the sleeves are different! They aren't solid.

She is not a household name with Mormons. If I were to ask active members if they heard of her, I'd probably get a --->> or  Scrapping is not a popular hobby. Most have moved onto photo books or keeping pictures on their camera like most people do now.

Now, if she finds a way to publish a book and have it sold at Deseret Book and have a speaking deal at Time Out for Women, she'd probably get a big following.

I personally care more about comfort than style, so I'm not going to judge the dresses too harshly. I just know they are not for me. Especially those sleeves. I do like the 3\4 length though.

What? No. Why? It's not flattering on any of those ladies.... a nightgown is better fitted that that dress.

I hear what you’re saying, of course it’s totally possible to have stylish, modest clothes. I’m also someone who totally values comfort over appearance and even saying that you wouldn’t catch me dead in that dress. I’ll take a crew neck t-shirt, hoodie and faded jeans over that thing any day of the week.

I totally agree with you 100% about the shoes too.

I get that modest dresses are a thing, but there are actually cute, fairly reasonably priced ones out there, like from Shabbyapple. There is something freaky, though, about everyone having the same dress. It's way too cult-like.

Looks frumpy to me....not at all what I would wear or like...

Every freak show needs a flamenco tent apparently. 💃 

Have you ever seen the comedian Gallagher? He's got this one skit in the "stuck in the 60s" show about ugly clothes and one is this huge tent dress and he says "this is what she wears when she's tired of trying to make it fit and just sews along the edges..."

And that's what I think about this dress. Just throw any old curtain on and sew along the edges.

The tiered bell 3/4 sleeves (excluding the contrast trim) are my favorite part of the dress! However, they look odd attached to the shapeless body. The models' shoe choices also contribute to the confused style of the dress. Plus, the photo with the three models reveals how the dress pulls in the underarm area, suggesting busty females cannot wear this dress in any size.

Perhaps if the company promoted the frumpy frock paired with leggings & ballet flats as a autumn casual style, it would be more appealing (at least 3 months ago...before the fall season). Trying to market it as dressy attire that is ill-fitting on inexperienced models (ie. they are beautiful women, but without the repertoire of poses to showcase clothing), who ironically represent their target customers, is laughable & definitely a miss.

Sadly, this entire product, including marketing & price, seems more like a neighborhood women's club or hobbyist sewing group selling a simple project to raise money for a local charity, rather than the work of a professional for-profit business! (ETA: It also likely contributes to the stereotype of scrapbookers as uncool, unfashionable, etc.)

There are so many things wrong with the dress it's not even funny! Seriously a more flattering fit would be to loosen the bodice about 1-2" and take in the waist area to make it more A-line with a bit of structure. Then raise the hem a good 2-3 inches. THEN you could wear it with tights and boots or flats and leggings. No one in their right mind wants to look 20lbs heavier in my world. If I did the conversion that dress would put me back about $90!

I would be really pissed off if my employer made me put that dress on and then take my picture in it.  Seriously.

I admit the colors are beautiful. Great for autumn....aaaaas we're heading into winter in most of the world. Delay in production maybe? Aren't seasonal specific releases usually at least a month before so people can prepare?

what is with the shoes, they all basically match, along with the necklaces. Are those the Becky shoes, the Becky necklace...... Be a Becky Clone?

And I will admit that I did not recognize Becky.... she is twice the woman she use to be.
