Shopping for La Femme Dresses

By Ted Rollins , last updated July 6, 2011

La Femme is a leading maker of highly elegant and surprisingly affordable dresses. La Femme dresses tend to combine conservative cuts with fairly elaborate designs that quickly catch the eye. Despite their low price point, many La Femme dresses have been spotted on top flight celebrities. While most La Femme dresses retail for prices between $200 and $400, you can often find them for significantly less at department stores like Nordstrom, a place that carries the entire La Femme line. Keep reading to find out more about the entire La Femme dress line.

The La Femme Fashions Cutout Back Jersey Minidress is one of the brand's most youthful and affordable items. Retailing at $198, the jersey minidress is made with a ruched panel that loops around the dress's single strap, curving out into a low cutout in the back. The dark teal dress has a side zip with a hook and eye clousre, a 34-inch length from hem to shoulder, a fully-lined body with padded cups and boning through the bodice and a comfortable polyester blend body.

For a flashier La Femme dress, pick up the Ombre Zebra Chiffon Dress. This black and white zebra patterned chiffon dress has a fluttering layered skirt, crystal trim along the notched neckline and a side zip with hook and eye closures. The $258 short dress is 25 inches from the front to hem and is made of a Dacron polyester.

For a cool, off-the-shoulder dress, nab the Draped One Shoulder Jersey dress, which comes in a cool gunmetal color. The artfully pleated dress has an elegantly pleated, fitted body with sparkling beads on the single shoulder and a padded cup.

The La Femme Fashions Strapless Sequin Gown is one of the brand's more expensive items at $348. This fuchsia sequin covered dress has a mesh overlay with a sweetheart neckline, ruched waist, high side slit and long 54-inch center front to hem length.

For a short dress made by La Femme, snag the One Shoulder Ruched Jersey Dress, which comes in a cute navy. This dress has crisscrossed ruching, a curve hugging fit with a sweetheart neckline and a single shoulder strap. The dress is 31 inches from the shoulder to hem and is fully-lined with boning at the bodice and a side zip closure.

For a longer dress, Nordstrom sells the Beaded Jersey Gown for $298. This one has faceted beading along its looped straps with an alluring open back and subtle fishtail hem. The dress also has a low surplice neckline and a ruched empire waist for a figure-flattering look. The Beaded Jersey Gown is one of the brand's longest dresses, measuring 61 inches, including the 4-inch train. The dress also has a bit of stretch, as the gown uses a comfortable polyester and spandex blend. La Femme doesn't yet make plus size dresses, but you can find them in sizes from 0 to 12.
