Bridgerton on Casual Friday: Alice + Olivia's Romantic Maxi Magic

Alice + Olivia, the New York powerhouse founded by Stacey Bendet, fuses sharply tailored silhouettes with playful embellishments and day-to-night versatility, channeling bold femininity and expressive glamour into every piece. Picture this: a mom's casual Friday transformed into Wuthering Heights drama, courtesy of the Delora Long Sleeve Crew Neck Maxi Dress ($512), a fluid 97% viscose, 3% elastane beauty with full lining for effortless movement and polish. Its crew neck and long sleeves offer a fitted bodice that flares into a sweeping maxi hem, perfect for transitioning from desk to dinner. Echoing the romance, the Augusta Maxi Dress ($725) amps up the allure with its recycled polyester lining and body-skimming fit, while the Adley Sleeveless Drop Waist Flare Midi ($654) and Rosalee Tie Strap Bustier Midi ($795) deliver cotton-elastane blends with dramatic drops and ties for that confident, graphic edge. These viscose wonders—dry clean only—marry comfort to celebration-ready vibe, proving workwear can whisper Regency intrigue.
