Tuckernuck dress

4 years ago

In the Wedding Guest Dress thread, I said I was ordering this Tuckernuck dress.



But when I went back to the site to order it, it was out in my size. I ordered the next smaller size. It came today. While it fit great in the hips and through the middle (my problem areas), it was waaay too small in the bust. 😢 That is too bad, because the fabric is great. It was wadded up in my mailbox for a week while I was out of town. There were hardly any wrinkles in it at all.


I’ve got 2 Lilly Pulitzer dresses on the way. I also remembered that I have two navy dresses that would be appropriate. One is a cotton knit shift with gold buttons on the shoulder; the other is a ponte knit shift with a cream colored yolk. Each needs a little taking up.

    It's too bad about that tnuck dress, it is really cute. I would check back occasionally to see if they replenish the larger size.


    Good luck with the others!

    I’ve set a notification for re-stocks. I might give it another try.

    I feel your pain on this one! Same thing happened to me when trying to pick and find a wedding dress. Soon as I found a style and color and price point I liked, it would inevitably be out of stock in my size . . .

    I'm sorry. That's such a bummer. One other option if you are willing would be to order up a size and have it tailored down to fit you.

    Sorry to hear it didn't work out-- but it sounds like you have options on the way and in your closet. I did think of you when I was on the Lily site earlier today. Crossing fingers!

    Ohhhhh, duh. Thx Jojo.

    BTW , don't say "tiny blue box," it induces a Pavlovian response.

    Darn BBSTX i love that dress.

    Lol. I was thinking the same thing. (And I don't really even like Tiffany's, well, except for all their estate jewelry and such.)

    I can’t see the picture, either. And there is no tiny blue box - drat!


    prickly, the dress in navy is now sold out in every size! Customer Service told me they would re-stock sometime in May. Shipping was pretty quick and the wedding I’m going to is in June. Keep your fingers crossed that the stars align! 🤞🤞

    Jojo, I don't own any jewelry of significance from Tiffany. Still love the box.

    I couldn't see the image, just a long blank box, but when I hovered the cursor over the box, it showed the little magnifying glass icon, so I clicked and the photo appeared. It's a really cute dress 🙂

    Wow sold out in every size! Huge bummer! I hope they are able to restock or maybe if you keep checking some people will return the size you need.

    wow, it's really cute! you can order something else and keep the tags as a backup, but it never hurts to keep checking in on this site. if you could only find one that's too big, it would be SO easy to tailor. try occasionally checking poshmark and ebay as well, you never know.

    I googled "high neck swing dress" and found this. but Shein is a super cheapo site, so shop with caution.

    Thanks, Seattle. Cute dress but the ruffle at the neck on the tnuck dress has me enthralled. I’ve checked Poshmark but not eBay. Poshmark has a few Tuckernuck dresses, but not the one I want in the color I want in the size I need, of course.

    It IS really special, now I want one! What do you think of black? It's also gorgeous, and in stock. Or at least, it's a really good backup in case the navy one does not become available in time.

    Also the hot pink pomander color is available in the sizes the navy is not-- even if you don't want to keep the hot pink, it could advise you of the size you want to order if/when the navy comes back in stock.


    I know it is a shuffle game-- but it seems you are enamored with a dress in short supply. It may help!

    Funky, I just bought it in hot pink! I thought I had seen it in hot pink before but when I went to buy it in that color, all I could find was the red, which I did not want. For some reason, the hot pink, though not on sale, is $50 less than the other solid colors. I think it has to do with the re-designed ruffle collar. For those of you curious, here it is in hot pink, one of my favorite colors.


    One major downside to this dress is the bow. It closes with a bow in the back. If I like it, I hope I can learn to tie a bow upside down and backwards!

    Funny how "little blue box" makes some of y'all think about Tiffs.


    I am not familiar with "Tuckernuck" but I keep reading it as "truck nuts".

    Well obviously I adore the pink choice ;) My Mom had similar pink drop earrings to the model photo you posted but I gave them to my cousin after Mom died, she also shared my Mom's love of bold costume jewelry.

    Hot pink is just so awesome!!! You’re going to look great!

    That pink is gorgeous. I find myself often defaulting to dark colors, usually black. But last year I needed a dress for a small party to celebrate my father's retirement. The store didn't have black in my size and I ended up with a bright red dress and I am so happy I went with a bright color! I bet you'll look stunning in that beautiful pink color.

    I love that pink! It's gorgeous and so fun!

    I had suggested black, totally forgetting that some people don't like wearing black at weddings, haha. My friends never really stuck to the traditions very much, so my mind is pretty skewed when it comes to choosing wedding attire.

    Seattle, I would wear and have worn black to an evening wedding. The wedding I’m going to is at 11:00 a.m. Black just seems a bit heavy/formal/staid for a morning wedding. But, if all else fails, I’ve got a black dress I can and will wear.


    Fori, the website is tnuck which I always see as t-neck. Tuckernuck is undoubtedly a strange name for a ladies’ clothing site. Wonder how it came about?


    Prickly, back in the olden days, I had the most gorgeous wool and silk dress and jacket in bright red. I loved it and felt like a million bucks anytime I wore it. I’ll bet you looked like a million bucks at your dad’s retirement party, too!

    Thanks so much @bbstx! You're going to look fantastic in one of these dresses. I wish I could wear the shape of the Tuckernuck dress. It looks so breezy and fun. I like the one @User posted too. Love the pleats. The details really make these dresses like the collar on the Tuckernuck.

    When I go to that website, i cannot find that dress in hot pink, only red and other colors.

    strange……

    Just in case you're not happy with the Tuckernuck dress, I just ran across this one. Seems very similar but maybe a slightly different fabric. Offered in several colors including a pretty pink.
