Spoiler alert, it’s the Park & Fifth Fairfax Dress
I always have an eye out for no-fuss long sleeve midi dresses. I’ve found a few great ones at Zara over the years, but I am also trying to shop less fast fashion brands (a work in progress and a post for another time). When I saw Vancouver-based Park & Fifth come out with the Fairfax dress, I immediately added it to my wishlist. Love that these dresses have been made right here in Vancouver and that their pieces are produced with low textile waste in mind. You can read all about their sustainability efforts here.
I recently got to model for Park & Fifth’s Spring/Summer 2021 collection, which was such an amazing experience, especially after being cooped up for a year. Everyone on the shoot was so supportive and hyping me up, despite the fact that I’m not at all a professional model and have felt what I can only describe as ‘blah’ since having a baby and being in quarantine. All of their new dresses are fire, you can check them out on their Instagram and of course, their website.
This is a very roundabout way to say that since we were collaborating, they offered to gift me a few pieces and I just KNEW it was going to be my sweet Fairfax dress. She’s such a beaut that I ended up with the same dress in two fabrics. I love how I can wear this midi so many ways (even backwards for a v-neck), it just fits my lifestyle perfectly! The only piece that isn’t technically mom-friendly is that the python fabric is dry clean only and the delicate black polka dot fabric is hand wash, BUT I hadn’t planned for these to be everyday wear anyway, so it’s all good.
The Park & Fifth Fairfax dress is currently on sale right now and I definitely encourage you to go check it out! If you have any sizing questions let me know or book a virtual fitting with their awesome team to make sure you get the style and size that works for you!

The Fairfax Python and Fairfax Betty dresses were generously gifted by Park & Fifth with no obligation to post. How could I not share these beauties with you, though?! Best to scoop one up before they’re gone!
OMG remember when I collaborated with Park & Fifth when they were fairly new? So fun to go down memory lane, check the post out here!
