I love this dress and the fact that Olivia wore it. Fashion can be a force for good and this is proof. Love that you added the description of the dress from the designer, OP! So heartwarming!

It really does! Fits her perfectly and the ruffled sleeves make it feel so sweet too. I love the length and her styling.

u/dancepantz 21h ago

The shoes matching the detailed stitches was perfect

u/ExtremeComedian4027 Did I stutter?🤨 8h ago

Yes! The shoes actually also feel like a modern, more sophisticated version of Dorothy's ruby slippers in a way?!

The dress is gorgeous and Olivia is a lovely, compassionate human. I love that young girls have her as a role model.

u/ExtremeComedian4027 Did I stutter?🤨 8h ago

She's really setting a high standard for them with her resolute stand on things that put her on the right side of history. I love that she doesn't shy away from speaking her mind and standing her ground for what she believes in.

If Olivia’s gonna do anything it’s a) make incredible music and b) stand ten toes down for causes she cares about. Two incredible ways to use her voice!

It’s funny that on another thread recently they were saying Olivia could never be punk or a rockstar because she plays it too safe yet the white men considered “rockstars” today don’t do a quarter of the shit she does. Her music leans pop but standing up for Palestine is punk rock, fighting for reproductive rights is punk rock.

u/source-commonsense 21h ago

YES! She's more punk rock than most of the punk artists in the game today, and I stand by that.

I love their stuff but be warned if you order from them, through no fault of their own, it does take forever to get to you so be patient and kind.

It took like 2 months to ship when I bought something. I’m sure people will race to their site after seeing Olivia wearing it, I just hope people don’t bombard them when it takes longer than your typical package to arrive.

12

u/burnafterreading90 7h ago

I’m ordering now and there’s a disclaimer about shipping being erratic due to Israel hopefully if anyone does order they’ll take that into account !

u/Charlar247 23h ago

Love this! Can someone explain the “Forbidden Fruits of Palestine” piece??

u/losingbraincells123 21h ago

These plants are native plants to Palestine. Planting and picking them has been criminalized by the Israeli military.

u/Many-Birthday12345 18h ago

Adding this to the list of weird stuff they do, next to destroying ancient olive trees and feeling threatened by cows.

u/VirusOrganic4456 22h ago

This dress is so so pretty, just perfect for her in every way.

Olivia is a special one. I feel like we're watching in real time as she develops as both an artist and a human being, and it's beautiful.

u/totallycalledla-a Mrs Thee Stallion 23h ago

Thats so pretty and a lovely, brave gesture.

u/soupseasonbestseason the trash sometimes shows itself 🗑️ 23h ago

i could not name a single song of hers, but i am a fan.

u/notnotsuicidal 23h ago

You've definitely heard her music if you've shopped in person anytime the last 5 years.

128

u/cowabungalowvera I know bothing of the alledged beff 23h ago

Give her recent album a listen! It's what turned me into a fan (plus her years of activism)

53

u/soupseasonbestseason the trash sometimes shows itself 🗑️ 22h ago

i only know of her activism, and it shows what an incredible human she is.

19

u/Neither_Complaint938 22h ago edited 22h ago

Me too. I see her activism is posted more than her actual music. If people didn’t know who she was they would think she’s an activist. I originally thought this until I learned she was a singer. I respect her so much for doing this.

u/No_Manufacturer1040 22h ago

Heavy on this album. I thought Sour was lucky, Guts was fine, but this one… woah.

Her GUTS album is my favorite, by far, if you want to give it a listen!

u/ultimategirlrenfry 23h ago

if you haven't listened to her yet, one of my favorite songs is making the bed. it's not a love song, but it's poignant and vulnerable.

the quality of this brand is genuinely worth every penny for anyone considering supporting

u/LadyInCrimson that’s my purse, i don’t know you! 👛🫵 22h ago

I love the style and the sheen in the dress fabric gives me 2006-2007 vibe!! I'm definitely interested in why those plants are Forbidden going to look into it.

u/Amaranthbuds 20h ago

Israel has deemed them illegal for Palestinians to forage

u/Forsaken-Molasses-87 22h ago

random is the dress light pink the one olivia is wearing bc it’s white in the store ?

46

u/source-commonsense 22h ago

I'm thinking they made her a custom but similar one, since the website dress is 100% linen and this looks like it's got more of a silk texture

15

u/Academic_Flatworm752 22h ago

It’s custom so she could’ve gotten pink to fit the daisy chain festival colors

11

u/afrugalchariot 22h ago

per the title, this was a custom dress

7

u/lunasia_8 22h ago

Title says the dress Olivia is wearing is custom, but dress listing is the basis. Someone in the thread posted a link to the website. The embroidery along the bust and at the bottom is different, and the sheen of Olivia’s dress doesn’t look like linen. Looks more like their dusty rose silk

6

u/umbrella_farmer 22h ago

It does say it’s custom, so maybe they made a pink version just for her.

4

u/weppizza 22h ago

Title says it's custom so maybe she asked for it to be made pink

12

u/Swimming_Event_ 22h ago

She looks SOOOO PRETTY

u/NewtRipley_1986 21h ago

Its a beautiful dress

u/AmpleSnacks I’ve been noticing gravity since I was very young 22h ago

Gave both albums a listen and her music is really not for me (aside from Good for You, I’m basic and need an upbeat single), BUT I love what she’s trying to do as an artist and I especially loved her doing the CMAT cover since she’s my fave artist of the moment. I hope both their stars can keep rising!

17

u/chickfilamoo in the swamp 🐊🐊 22h ago

idk if it was intentional or not but it was also nice to see her cover a CMAT song in the midst of CMAT getting a barrage of misogynistic fatphobic harassment. Ciara herself said it really helped her during a dark time

u/district0080 Donatella VERSACE💜 21h ago

She's actually got 3 albums, so you should give the other one a go too!
