The best things in a wardrobe usually start somewhere small. Martina started with a stripe on a table in the south of France. I started Me + Lia because I was tired of dresses that looked lovely on a screen and felt cheap in my hands — here is what makes Martina different.
Most dresses under $60 are plastic. Polyester traps heat, pills fast, and lands in a donation bin by fall.
Martina is crafted from 100% premium cotton in a fine cherry-red pinstripe. It breathes. It softens with every wash. It is the one you pack first and wear three times before you are home.
A slow wardrobe means fewer pieces, worn often, loved longer. Our customers buy one dress and reach for it every week.
The math agrees. A $148 dress worn a hundred times costs less per wear than a $40 dress worn twice.
“Martina started with a red stripe I kept noticing in the south of France. On the tablecloths, the awnings, the people who looked like they belonged there. I wanted one that felt familiar without trying too hard.”
— Melina, on MartinaFashion hides its numbers. We would rather show you ours.
That's less than double what she costs us to make. A typical fashion label marks up seven to eight times cost — at that math, Martina would be more than a $550 dress. She's $148. What's left covers the promises we make, 30-day try-ons and free returns among them, and keeps us designing slowly.
Every dress carries a plain fit note and the model’s real measurements. And with our new Find My Size feature, three quick questions on the product page pick your size for you. If it still is not right, returns are free, with a pre-paid label.
Trying a new brand is a risk. So we carry it for you.
Tap through from this page and the credit is already waiting — you will see it come off at checkout. Wear it for 30 days. If it is not the one, return it free with our pre-paid label. And the matching scrunchie that comes with your first piece? Keep it.
