The Designer

We're a sister team with spookily similar tastes, who've built our careers working in the buying offices of some of the high street's biggest, most fashion forward brands. Finding grown-up, affordable dresses increasingly difficult to come across - not too young, too old, too short or too long - we launched Allium B in March 2012. Having worked for huge brands for many years.we knew we had the expertise to fill this gap, but we have been amazed by the incredible response we've had to our go anywhere dresses.

The idea behind our collection is that each dress can be worn lots of different ways, on lots of different occasions. We create simple shapes that the wearer can style up as they wish: layering over a t-shirt and tights, belted or loose. 

When deciding if a dress makes the final cut, we always ask ourselves, "Is it easy to wear?" and "Do we love it?" If the answer to both these questions is yes, then we know it's a definitely a keeper.

Stylist Tips

Every girl, woman and goddess needs a shirt dress in their wardrobe and this one is super elegant. Team with cosy tights and boots for weekend mooching, or plum-shade stilettos for after-hours chic. I defy any woman to look at these timeless designs and not think 'Thank God!'. x
