STAUD

In 2015, Sarah "Staud" Staudinger and George Augusto cofounded the LA-based lifestyle brand STAUD with the idea that fashion shouldn't just empower women, it should be accessible too. At the heart of STAUD is design. Crafted at the intersection of timeless classics and perfected novelty, the brand offers a collection for the modern woman who appreciates both. With an emphasis on originality and joy through the lens of elevated discovery, each season is a detailed narrative speaking to the brand's wardrobe aspirations. If fashion is a never-ending pursuit of style, then STAUD is what happens after you've found it.

Cute but not quite right

I was surprised at how flattering the fit was, though I did need to size up 2 sizes. Definitely not worth full price and the bra situation was a deal breaker because the back is open. I do think some minor alterations could make this work but I opted for something else.

Fabric, workmanship (particularly the zipper) were mediocre - especially for the price point. I tried multiple different Staud dresses (except silk ones), all disappointed with the same. For this one in particular, the V is very, very deep. I’m pear shaped. Size 4 was tight in hips, fine for small chest.
