Chinoiserie Buds Puff-sleeve Blaire Dress

This dress is absolutely gorgeous. It’s flattering, feminine, and comfortable to wear.

I loved this dress when I saw it online but once I received it I was blown away. The fabric is gorgeous and the dress is lined. Beyond my expectations. I also want to thank the amazing people at Kate Spade stores. This was sold out in all my nearby stores and online, but the salesperson found one in another store, in another state and had it shipped. Going above and beyond!!

A family wedding, a conservative community in Queens, challenges due to being cane dependent… So many reasons why this could have been an event I wanted to avoid. This beautiful puff sleeve dress was not one of my worries. Found in our local outlet- which has been a haven for dresses in 2024 from the dress I wore to my son’s graduation in May with his PhD to our anniversary dinner in July to this wedding in September- Kate Spade dresses have been at them all. As a busty woman dresses haven’t always been my friend. However this particular dress bought to accommodate this feature did not drown the rest of me in fabric. The stretch waist assured that I still showed an hourglass figure without being too overtly sexual for my conservative in-laws. The length of the skirt perfectly preserved my dignity wearing sneakers instead of the multi-inch heels that had been my signature for decades. Change and acceptance are the rule not the exception. Like all my Kate Spade dresses I felt like spinning my skirt out full in pure joy because it fit so well. The subtle pattern was not distracting nor juvenile. Standing with the bride and my in-laws, I could just be a proud aunt. The dress allowed my only distraction to be making sure I kept my cane at the ready as the family moved from photos to ceremony and beyond. As anyone could attest, the dress was a full success.
