Phyl Couture Dresses

It’s no secret that we love retro treats.

But the designs of Jamie Phyl of Phyl Couture just might take the cupcake.

The Cheltenham-born, New York City-based designer was inspired by mini cakes and translated their Strawberry Shortcake-ish essence into her spring collection of dresses.

The knee-length number with cut-out details on the neckline is perfect for humid days. We love the ’50s vibe we get from the marigold yellow, crisscross-back dress with belted waist. The periwinkle blue jumper with contrasting stitching is perfect for when you just want to look super cute.

Plus, all the frocks are made from soft knits or jersey.

Which means wearing them is as easy as pie.
