So we know the difference between couture and off-the-rack – but what about that elusive happy medium? R. Brooke Priddy, an independent designer and dressmaker is the creator of the Ship to Shore Shop , an online boutique featuring one-of-a-kind dresses, tops and skirts. As each piece sells, it is removed from the shop and replaced with a new creation. While the cuts are modern and fluid, the overall effect is ethereal and downright gorgeous! The best part – she offers her collections in three size ranges so no one feels left out.

While we love the classic and almost sinuous lines of the Wrap Top (a perfect transition piece for the Fall) one of the most striking pieces in this collection is the Strider Skirt Dress . Converting from a skirt to a dress, it can be worn five different ways; it offers a lovely drape that will flatter any figure and comes in the most delicious aqua and cream knit – five options for $136 – that’s what we call a bang for your buck!
