My New Favorite Dress

Red Guipure Lace Daphne Dress


This stunning dress is one of my absolute favorite recent additions to my wardrobe. It flies out of stock and has just restocked.

This red lace dress is made out of my favorite guipure lace. If you are not familiar with the term "guipure" it is a high end lace that connects the motifs with bars or plaits rather than net or mesh.

"A Tuckernuck style staple, the Daphne is back and better than ever. Our design team spent months perfecting and testing our signature stand collar to get it just right. As Marvin Gaye once said: 'Ain’t no collar high enough,' so bring on the ruffles and drama! Updated in a beautiful red guipure lace, this swing shape mini dress reminds us of our favorite mod dresses from the 60s and 70s. Ready for celebrations with family, festive parties with friends, and every social event on your calendar, the occasions are endless for this bow tie-back dress!"

I love the back on this dress. Click on the captions to link.

This dress is incredibly flattering and elegant and will become a favorite of yours too. You can wear this dress all year round. Remember that these models are very tall (5'9" in the red and 5'10" in the black) - it will be longer and a perfect length on most of us. I have it in the red and am going to get it in the black too I like it so much. It has a vintage vibe and reminds me very much of a black lace dress I had that I wore on my first date with my late husband. We went to Dominique's on Pennsylvania Avenue for any of my D.C. followers.

  1. I purchased similar T-nuck sleeveless dress this past Summer for a wedding and absolutely LOVED it - BUT found it difficult to tie the bow in back by myself :( Had to find another pair of hands (female BTW) to help make it look pretty - that's the only downside.

    1. I have become adept at doing it myself. (My husband could never tie a nice bow)

  2. I love Tuckernuck dresses! They fit me so well and returns are free if needed.
    I especially like that they give you the model’s height and the size she is wearing ( just click on Fit). I’m 5’6 so the length is usually perfect for me.
    Love love this one you featured!

  5. I bought the red version because our house was on a Christmas tour a few weeks ago and I wanted something fabulous and it certainly was! I received numerous compliments on it! I like that it comes in extended sizes that are perfect for me. Also, I am short - 5'2" and they are the perfect length for me.
