Within the clever phrases of that viral TikTok sound, “If I prefer it, I’ll simply seize it in a special coloration.”
After I stumbled throughout the Anthropologie Tobie Gown, which utterly took over my TikTok feed firstly of summer season, I couldn’t get it out of my thoughts.
I knew that as somebody with a smaller waist than hips, the structured pleating and cinched midsection could be tremendous flattering. I cherished that the buttons and collar made it one thing I might simply gown up for work, but additionally pictured how I might gown it down with sneakers for a weekend outing.
It wasn’t till I spotted the garb shared a reputation with my beloved late Yorkie that I made a decision to chunk the bullet and place an order for the plum model, which I might put on into the autumn; boy, am I glad I did.
Not solely was it completely attractive and flattering on, but it surely felt superb.
The material is thick, however not too thick that I really feel suffocated within the scorching NYC summer season climate. Delicate, however not too comfortable that it loses its form all through the day. Stretchy, however not too stretchy that it finally ends up being the unsuitable measurement.
After I wore it into the workplace for the primary time, folks actually wouldn’t cease complimenting me (#HumbleBrag). I shortly realized this was going to be an issue; I wanted extra!
Over the subsequent few weeks, I perused the varied coloration, material and sample choices and in the end determined to hit purchase on the denim model — one other staple I might see myself carrying all through a number of seasons.
As you may in all probability inform given my obsession with the Lanolips 101 balm, which I personal multiples of, I might really feel myself beginning to hyperfixate on the Tobie Gown; I actually needed to put on it each single day.
However, as a result of I’m a accountable grownup who has payments to pay, I couldn’t justify spending one other $200 on a gown which I already owned in a number of colours.
I then determined to do some digging and in the end found two superior options from Goal and Amazon that give me the identical look with out the hefty price ticket.
They each retail for round $35 and provides me a glance that’s extremely near that of the Anthropologie model.
Goal’s Ava & Viv Pleated Midi Shirtdress, which I obtained in black, feels essentially the most much like the Tobie, however is structurally a little bit off.
The Amazon model, which I’ve in striped inexperienced, appears to be like extra related (for my part), however doesn’t really feel fairly as prime quality.
You realize what they are saying — you get what you pay for. And whereas I like that I might broaden my pleated-dress assortment with extra inexpensive lookalikes, my favourite nonetheless is the unique.
And as a lot as I simply stated I can’t purchase a 3rd model of the identical gown, I concern I’ll be on the Anthropologie app tonight.
(Editor’s be aware: Should you seen my sneakers, which you’ll be able to inform I’m additionally obsessive about primarily based on the above images, they’re at present on sale at Goal.)
