It’s always fun dressing up. Curling our hair, putting our fake lashes to use, whipping out our highest heels and, of course, putting on a pretty dress! But first, we have to actually find that pretty dress. Need a little help? Please say yes, because we just found the perfect one!
The Dress the Population Catalina Tea Length Fit & Flare Dress is one we’ll wear again and again. It’s our forever plus-one to any wedding or party, and it’s a reviewer’s dream, with over 70 people leaving their love for it so far. Time for Us to join in, because this crazy-flattering dress is everything we’ve ever wanted!

Shoppers say this dress is “perfectly cut,” noting that its neckline shows “just enough” and that its skirt “hangs beautifully and moves with your body.” The waist-cinching fit is receiving rightful praise, with multiple reviewers commenting that it fits “like a glove.” Another common theme among all of the five-star reviews is pointing out this dress’ “classic” look, one shopper declaring that it “will never go out of style!”
This jaw-dropping dress is made of a sleek crepe fabric. The material has just enough weight to it to give it a formal look and feel, but one that doesn’t weigh us down on the dance floor. Twirling that skirt around is a must! We also like a heavier fabric for fancier pieces because it helps to prevent wrinkling, which is especially important when we’re traveling!
This fit-and-flare dress is sleeveless and has a plunging deep V-neckline and a hem that hits just below the knees. The skirt is lined and features one of our favorite aspects of this dress: pockets on the seams! Our love for pockets doesn’t just disappear because we’re attending a nice event, so this detail is just perfect.

Another detail we’re loving? The hidden zip closure over on the back. Who else has pulled a seam or 10 trying to slip a nice dress on or off? We’re definitely guilty. That’s why we’re glad to have a zipper to save us from any clothes-destroying accidents!
This dress is available in nine colors, but if we’re looking to grab one of our own, we’ll have to act quickly, because some sizes are selling out! Darker shades include Plum, Pine, Midnight Blue, Burgundy and Black. For some lighter and brighter choices, we should check out Bright Fuchsia, Jade, Garnet and Blush!
Dress the Population is an LA-based brand that aims to offer a “fresh take on evening wear.” If we’re sick of gaudy gowns and painfully plain pieces, we can turn to Dress the Population for a “chic, spirited approach to style” instead. The brand believes that everyone has that right, and that’s why its high-quality designs are always accessible and affordable!
If we’re looking to nab a few compliments at the next event we attend (who isn’t?), this dress is going to be our new best friend. Pair it with some strappy or closed-toe heels and let that neckline shine with an up-do, and the first “Oh my gosh, I love your dress” will be spoken as soon as we step through the door!
