About the brand

Selkie is a Los Angeles-based fashion brand founded in 2018 by Kimberley Gordon, former co-founder of Wildfox Couture. Born from Gordon's love of folklore, the brand takes its name from Irish, Scottish, Icelandic and Scandinavian mythology - the selkie, a shapeshifting woman of the ocean. This mythological inspiration reflects the brand's deeper meaning of rebirth and self-discovery, as Gordon created Selkie after losing her previous company, viewing it as her own transformation and return to creative freedom. The brand is renowned for its dreamy, romantic designs featuring voluminous silhouettes and delicate fabrics. Selkie's signature puff dresses, with their empire waists and billowing sleeves, have become viral sensations. The brand champions size inclusivity, offering pieces from XXS to 6X, and operates as a low-waste company through small-batch production. Each collection tells a whimsical story, blending vintage-inspired elements with contemporary sensibilities to create fantasy-driven clothing that empowers women to express their authentic selves.

I recently bought my first Selkie dress and I am absolutely in love! The vibrant patterns and puffed sleeves give it such a whimsical feel, perfect for my girly aesthetic.

I still have that dress, and the quality has remained great. Since then, I've purchased over four more pieces, and I love every one of them.

I've been very impressed with the quality of all 3 of my Selkie dresses. You definitely get what you pay for! It's clear Selkie dresses are built to last, and they truly both look and feel like high end, quality dresses.

One of the standout trends is the dreamy puff dress, popularized by brands like Selkie. These dresses are perfect for anyone seeking a magical, royal aesthetic, characterized by voluminous sleeves and fairytale-like shapes.

I was like is this really just are you paying for the name or is the quality there and I really do have to say that I'm pleasantly surprised with how thick the material is.

Lace and Sheer Fabrics: Selkie's puffed-sleeve dresses and Reformation's lace-trimmed slips embodied the trend's delicacy.

The material of these dresses does not stretch at all so make sure you've measured properly and if on the edge of sizes, go bigger. It can always be taken in.

Most of their dresses are polyester, not the most luxurious fabric but one of the most affordable fabrics that will hold the style of Selkie dresses.

Selkie is definitely considered a higher end or “luxury brand”. The prices are not attainable for everyone, and for most of us they are more of a special occasion or one time thing kind of purchase.

I rarely ever wear a large in any brand, so it's safe for me to say that you should size up in Selkie apparel.

For this specific one: its absolutely horrible. the fabric is terrible and the bodysuit is comically small. Like, I actually cannot wear the bodysuit because it is at least 2 sizes too small. The 'over'-dress is completely fine, just my normal Selkie size. I will not be purchasing their see-through dresses again. Huge disappointment, ESPECIALLY!!! for the price.

I recommend Selkie organza puff dresses. They feel full and look amazing when worn. I do not recommend Selkie's Tea Rose dresses at their current price point. The material feels cheap and doesn't have the princess poofiness that comes with the organza dresses.
