Brand Review: The New “It Girl” Rhode Pia Dress

In my next installment of: Style Blogger Brand Reviews I am reviewing the Rhode Pia Dress and just why you have to have it in your closet!

Unless you’ve been living under a rock the last few months you’ll know that a little thing called “Scandoval” rocked the nation in March – yes it was everywhere – and in one of the many paparazzi shots Vanderpump Rules star: Ariana Madix was seen wearing the Rhode Pia dress in her new sandwich shop: Something About Her, while announcing she was going to be on the next season of Dancing with the Stars!

When I saw the Rhode Pia dress on Ariana – I knew this was an it girl dress because she is the “It Girl” of 2023!

And it’s not just bloggers and reality stars that are donning this adorably feminine dress brand: it’s regular style lovers all over and I am going to tell you why the brand Rhode is worth the money!

Is Rhode Expensive?

Yes – this brand is expensive. It’s sold on Revolve and Shopbop and many other contemporary retailers – so it falls into the Amur and Ulla Johnson price categories: about $300-$600 for a dress.

BUT: I am here to tell you it’s worth it!

What kind of event do you wear a Pia Dress to?

These dresses are extremely versatile – they can be worn on a European vacation, to a special event (think baby shower, wedding rehearsal or night before wedding cocktails), a friend’s party or gathering.

I recently wore my Rhode Pia Dress to a friend’s cocktail night before the wedding soiree.

The Pia dress comes in several different patterns – so you don’t have to go with just one!

How do Rhode dresses fit?

They fit true to size – a large is a large and even has some stretch in it. (I am wearing a size 10 in mine and that is my true size.)

The Pia dress has an elastic band on the back side of the dress at the waist which makes it really comfortable and easy to fit. Any dress with a little stretch and give gets a thumbs up in my book!

How do you style a Rhode dress?

I styled mine a couple of ways – as I said they are versatile so they can be dressed up and down.

For a fancier event – I wore them with a Larroude platform mules (Larroude shoes run small – size up half a size!) – which paired perfectly! I also have a strappy Larroude heel – that would go beautifully with this dress as well!

Another time – for a casual night out with friends I wore them with a flat pair of Ancient Greek sandals!

Next time: I am going to wear the Rhode Pia dress with a pair of Steve madden white Carley sneakers!
