0:00 [Music] 0:07 hi it's mal i am back in the fitting 0:10 room today in oak brook in illinois and 0:12 i am coming to you to talk about spring 0:14 dresses i am just so impressed with our 0:17 dress selection this spring our 0:19 designers and our buyers are killing it 0:22 i'm actually going to show you three of 0:24 our every designs today that can kind of 0:26 take you to different places 0:29 i also have a little trip coming up to 0:31 nashville 0:32 in the coming week and so i'm doing a 0:34 little dress shopping myself 0:36 so let's start with just the maxi the 0:38 maxi is perfect for the spring season 0:40 we'll take you into summer 0:43 this is our willa maxi by ever eve so we 0:45 designed this 0:47 gorgeous floral print it's got a navy 0:49 background some lighter blues 0:52 this is a little easy strap dress up top 0:55 so you could definitely wear it 0:57 sleeveless right now as we're still 0:59 transitioning in the weather i have it 1:01 back to this beautiful jacket that i'll 1:02 tell you about in a minute 1:04 it has pockets which i love 1:08 and it is incredibly long okay so this 1:10 is a very long maxi again i'm 5'7 for 1:13 reference um so if you are petite you 1:16 are definitely going to want to do this 1:17 with the heel and then another great 1:20 little trick with your maxis to make 1:21 them a little bit shorter if you're a 1:22 petite customer is definitely to belt 1:25 them right because then you can kind of 1:26 ruche them up a little bit between that 1:28 and a heel um that helps you a lot with 1:31 the length 1:32 i also for me depending on your body 1:35 type i'm more of a rectangle so i don't 1:37 have a very defined waist so i love 1:40 doing a little belt with a long dress 1:42 like this because it gives me that 1:43 waistline 1:44 so anyway really comfortable but i could 1:46 also see myself in flats knotting this 1:49 on the side you know taking this on a 1:52 summer trip or out to dinner 1:54 on a hot summer evening so i i really 1:57 really enjoy this dress highly recommend 2:00 and then for right now whether it's 2:02 weather appropriate that you want a 2:03 little jacket or what a great wear to 2:05 work you know outfit putting this blazer 2:08 on this is our alexa blazer also 2:10 designed by ever eve the fabric is um 2:14 tencel uh which is kind of a feels like 2:17 linen on it has a great feel and just 2:20 kind of a boyfriend style blazer so 2:22 you've got this double-breasted feel i'm 2:24 in a size large also in a large in the 2:26 dress by the way um so it fits really 2:28 true to sides it has a little bit of a 2:31 shoulder pad to it so it gives you some 2:32 definition there 2:34 but i just think you know pop that 2:36 collar and such a fun look um for a 2:39 great shoe i would highly recommend this 2:42 devon sandal 2:44 i love this look at this braiding it's 2:47 by corki so it's incredibly comfortable 2:49 but just great brown braiding here 2:52 studded on the side a little bit of a 2:54 stacked heel so you know not only is it 2:56 really comfortable in the padding 2:58 by corkies but you've got that really 3:00 great stable heel so that is incredibly 3:03 comfortable as well okay let me show you 3:05 a couple more dresses okay second dress 3:08 this is our josefina 3:10 um i'm actually in the april catalog 3:13 wearing this dress so this is what it 3:16 looks like live and in person 3:18 i show this to you because in april our 3:20 eetv crew 3:22 all of us from different ages and 3:24 backgrounds and body types all 3:26 represented in this catalog 3:28 we try to show you different backgrounds 3:30 on eetv but we're also from time to time 3:32 in the catalog if you are not receiving 3:34 our monthly catalogs will you go to 3:36 evariev.com at the bottom of that page 3:39 you can find catalog you can sign up to 3:41 receive one but they are just so fun 3:43 we're so proud of these really shows off 3:45 our buyers work on a monthly basis um so 3:48 again this is the josephine address this 3:50 is ever eve created 3:52 we designed this the label is roane and 3:54 ryan she's got a great little kind of 3:56 boho vibe to her which is very much my 3:59 kind of sense of style 4:02 first of all let me say this dress has a 4:04 little bit of a slip to it okay so 4:06 you've got a slip that goes all the way 4:08 down to about your knee so you've got 4:11 great coverage in this white dress you 4:12 don't have to worry about anything being 4:14 see-through 4:15 i've got a little tag sorry 4:18 one thing i love sleeves i always love a 4:22 little bit of a blousey sleeve so you 4:23 can kind of pull this up play with that 4:25 blousing 4:27 this actually is a beautiful dress 4:28 without a belt but this is the same belt 4:30 i had on with the last maxi 4:32 this is by harriet isles it's called the 4:35 bells belt this is in tan 4:37 again because i'm a rectangle i do 4:39 really love to belt my dresses and kind 4:41 of define a waistline for myself and 4:44 then it has this tiered bottom not as 4:46 long 4:47 as the last maxi so again i'm 5'7 if 4:50 you're more of a petite customer this 4:52 will be a great maxi for you i don't 4:54 think it'll be too long on you you could 4:56 probably even wear a flat if you wanted 4:57 to um but again if you didn't see it in 5:00 the last dress this is the devon sandal 5:02 by corki's 5:04 little braided front studded on the side 5:07 really really beautiful and comfortable 5:10 and then because i'm in all white which 5:12 i do love for spring and into summer i 5:14 picked a great little statement earring 5:16 this is the new leah raffia 5:19 and it's so lightweight i know i'm 5:21 always worried about larger earrings are 5:22 they going to kind of be weighted and 5:24 uncomfortable and this is paper paper 5:26 thin 5:27 beautiful has this little tan color that 5:30 kind of plays on the belts and the shoes 5:32 and i think really kind of pops an 5:34 all-white dress like this 5:36 okay last dress little shorter casual 5:39 option for you um what i love about this 5:42 dress though is it's got like a silky 5:43 fabrication i know black is hard to see 5:45 on video so i just brought one on hanger 5:47 for you it's got a silky fabric to it so 5:50 you could wear it super easy and casual 5:52 i put it on back to teva's 5:55 or because it has this kind of dressier 5:58 fabric you could really wear this as a 6:01 little black dress for summer 6:04 it has ruching here at the waistline so 6:07 you i love it when you can kind of 6:09 control 6:10 where that waistline hits you um so it 6:13 ruches in gives you great shape has a 6:15 little bit of blouse over the top again 6:18 i'm in a large that hits me right above 6:20 my knee again for reference i'm 5'7 6:24 but i think between the ruching that 6:26 happens up here on the shoulder super 6:28 bra friendly right 6:30 and the ruching here 6:32 it's just got great detail for a little 6:34 black dress and again i have it on with 6:36 tevas 6:38 tevers are so fun because um you can 6:40 wear them super sporty but you can also 6:42 take them back to these dresses and it's 6:44 just kind of a great play 6:46 so these are the gold we have them in 6:48 white we have them in black they're a 6:49 little bit of a platform to them so it 6:52 gives you that little bit of height you 6:54 know that always makes you feel a little 6:55 bit better in a short dress again super 6:57 casual i just threw on some bracelets 7:00 this is the delaney she's a three strand 7:02 you get three together it's just coils
