How to Look Like You Spent $2,000 on Your Dress (When You Definitely Didn’t)

Let’s be honest: walking into a room and looking like you just stepped off a yacht in Amalfi feels amazing—but draining your bank account to do it? Not so much.

At Dress by Vicky, we believe smart fashion is stylish fashion. You deserve dresses that look like they belong in a luxury showroom - crafted from luxurious brand fabrics - but priced for women who know the value of money. Here’s how to master that “I totally have a stylist” look… without the stylist.

Looking expensive starts with a print that feels straight from the Riviera—bold, timeless, unapologetically chic.

Wear this: Italian Yellow Majolica print 100% silk midi dress. This dress glides like a sea breeze, cinches at the waist, and screams elegance. The silk? Pure indulgence. The price? Surprisingly down to earth.


The most luxurious looks are the ones that do the work for you—think clean lines, crisp tailoring, and a silhouette that flatters without fuss.

Try this: Italian White Roses on Blue 100% cotton dress. It’s your best friend for weddings, garden parties, and Tuesdays that deserve better. Bonus: the subtle floral and button-down details feel polished but playful.


Expensive doesn’t mean stiff or stuffy. Real elegance is soft, breathable, and moves with you.

We love: Italian Pink Roses on Orange print plunge back cotton dress. It’s light, feminine, and made from the kind of cotton that lets your skin breathe (while your confidence soars).


Keep the Styling Clean, Let the Dress Speak

True luxury doesn’t scream. It whispers.

One well-cut dress, a pair of gold earrings, maybe a slick bun—and you’re done. The magic? You’ll still look like you spent all afternoon getting ready.


Let them wonder where you shop. Let them assume it cost triple. Then smile, knowing you found it at Dress by Vicky - where elegance is a mindset, not a price tag.
