A Table in the Afternoon Sun
Some dresses are for the calendar. This one is for the afternoons that aren't on it. I started Me + Lia because I was tired of dresses that looked lovely on a screen and felt cheap in my hands — here is what makes Bianca different.
Most dresses under $60 are plastic. Polyester traps heat, pills fast, and lands in a donation bin by fall.
Bianca is crafted from 100% premium cotton, with white cotton lace at the neckline and sleeves. It breathes. It softens with every wash. It packs down small and comes out looking like itself.
A slow wardrobe means fewer pieces, worn often, loved longer. Our customers buy one dress and reach for it every week.
The math agrees. A $148 dress worn a hundred times costs less per wear than a $40 dress worn twice.
“Bianca came from a spring in Brittany. The salt-worn blue shutters, the hydrangeas against grey stone. I wanted to carry that home, so an ordinary plan feels worth looking forward to.”
— Melina, on BiancaFashion hides its numbers. We would rather show you ours.
That's less than double what she costs us to make. A typical fashion label marks up seven to eight times cost — at that math, Bianca would be more than a $550 dress. She's $148. What's left covers the promises we make, 30-day try-ons and free returns among them, and keeps us designing slowly.
Every dress carries a plain fit note and the model’s real measurements. And with our new Find My Size feature, three quick questions on the product page pick your size for you. If it still is not right, returns are free, with a pre-paid label.
Trying a new brand is a risk. So we carry it for you.
Tap through from this page and the credit is already waiting — you will see it come off at checkout. Wear it for 30 days. If it is not the one, return it free with our pre-paid label. And the matching scrunchie that comes with your first piece? Keep it.
