Chelsea Mak

This summery dress fools you into thinking it's fancy, or that it takes work to wear it, when really, it's the exact opposite. Chelsea Mak continues to play with the girly signifiers, adding ribbons to keep everything in their place. The fabric is lustrous and soft, but the dress is pretty practical, with side pockets and easily washed. Full skirt, A-line shape. 

This open, oversized blazer is made from a soft wool suiting/poly blend. Elegant shawl collar, seam front pockets, partially lined. A classic wardrobe staple. Since it’s oversized, we’d recommend the following: 0-4=XSmall; 6-8=Small

This skirt is roughly mid-calf, with both a drawstring at the waist and zipper closure. It's a lovely, modern take on taffeta, which can feel too formal for everyday. Chelsea Mak has given this piece some fun, with a full circle skirt, still ultra-light in feel, and perfect with a hoodie or crewneck sweater and sneakers.

Chelsea Mak continues to play with the tropes of traditional femininity, in this case that bugaboo, the bustier. This shell top references that garment, but it's reinterpreted as a loose, boxy blouse. It's a great way to upend a formal feeling fabric like taffeta, with a more contemporary, sporting approach. We enjoy it layered over a turtleneck or something of that nature, keep it unexpected, always comfortable.

Shell blouse with ruffle overlay. Easy overhead, deep V front, alone or layered.

NB: This type of organic silk has its share of normal anomalies, including miniscule nubs, threading, and color variation. It's naturally occurring, and shouldn't be taken as errors, but as character.

Chelsea Mak's most popular style, the loose bustier, disguised as a tank top. Shorter length, buttons in back.

Minimal doesn't mean simple, doesn't mean plain. It means restrained, geometric, classic, suited for nearly everyone. The Gramercy dress has been a staple from Chelsea's first collection, because it's just such a surprise every time it's on a new body. May be worn forward or backward, right for any occasion. With side pockets and easily washed.
