About the Brand:
Marcella is a woman-founded brand based between New York and Europe, known for its sculptural, minimalist designs, and its mission. For every piece sold, Marcella donates school days to girls through their nonprofit partner CAMFED (Campaign for Female Education). Style meets substance here, and it’s a brand I’m proud to support as one of their ambassadors!

The Dress features soft, gathered draping that highlights the neckline and moves beautifully as you walk. The Periwinkle shade, a soft, elegant mix of lavender and blue, is stunning in natural light and complements a variety of skin tones.
One of my favorite features? The neckline is convertible! You can wear it off-the-shoulder for a romantic feel (as I did), or twist the straps into a more structured halter-style for added versatility. It’s like having two dresses in one and both options are equally chic.
Fit: Sculpted with stretch for a flattering yet forgiving shape.
Fabric: Lightweight, breathable, and easy to move in.
Color: A dreamy periwinkle that feels elevated but still soft and approachable.
Note: The fabric is primarily modal so it does tend to cling, I recommend seamless undergarments for a smooth finish!
Where I’d Wear It:
This dress is made for golden hour moments and beyond:
Date Nights: Add soft waves and delicate gold jewelry for an effortlessly romantic look.
Evening Dinners & Cocktail Events: Pair with a sleek clutch and heels.
Vacations: It packs well and feels breathable, perfect for warm-weather evenings.
Special Celebrations: Birthdays, anniversaries, rooftop toasts, this dress fits the mood!
Styling Tips:
I styled mine with a white envelope clutch, white slingback heels, and gold accessories.
Keep hair pulled back or to one side to show off the neckline.
For a bolder vibe, try a red lip or statement earrings to elevate the look.
Seamless undergarments are key for the most flattering fit.
Why I Love It:
This dress is surprisingly comfortable. It hugs in all the right places without feeling restrictive, and the fabric is soft enough for all-evening wear. I felt confident and relaxed the entire time I wore it and knowing it supports girls’ education made it all the more meaningful!
Final Thoughts:
Marcella’s Alyssa Infinity Dress in Periwinkle is everything I look for in an outfit: timeless, comfortable, easy to wear, and elevated. From the convertible neckline to the flattering fit and mission-driven roots, it’s a piece that doesn’t just look good, it feels good. Whether you’re dressing up for a night out or slipping into something special just because, this is a dress I know I’ll keep reaching for!
