Once upon a time, in the not-so-far-away land of California, there lived a talented designer who could break the “I’ve got nothing to wear” spell with the touch of her sewing machine.

Lucky for you, this is no fairy tale: Emily Christensen is the real deal. Her line, Filly, features geometric patchwork and color block dresses that are bound to make you the prettiest princess in all the city.

Choices include the Alley Kiss, with a sculpted white bodice and high-waisted gray skirt; the Mockingbird, a moss green sleeveless number trimmed with a lime cotton voile collar; and the Blackmail, a brown cap-sleeve frock with button details and a gathered hem.

Even more magical? Pieces are produced from ecofriendly methods in small batches, so chances are slim that you’ll wind up seeing double at a party.

Now you really can live happily ever after.
