At DressByDesign, we create one-of-a-kind clothing for women of all shapes and sizes. We believe women feel confident when they wear attire that fits them well and reflects their sense of style. We don’t think the current fashions that are available can do this for a lot of women, so our mission is to empower women of any age by making them feel great in clothing they design.
Great Style is Ageless

Her sense of style and eye for fashion make her an indispensable asset to our team.
Dress Lessons from David Meister
- Great fit is the most important element of any dress.
- Color is always in style.
- A good dress is timeless, not one that makes you say, "What was I thinking?!" in three months.
- The best dress is one that you wear, not that wears you."You should walk into a room and people should say, 'Oh, she looks great' — not 'Oh, that dress is beautiful,'"
