Social media influencers have gone wild for a dress that seems to flatter any figure with its clever pleating and ruching design.
The 100% polyester dress, made by Los Angeles-based label ALC Ltd, has an asymmetrical design, ruched detailing down the side, and costs a whopping $695 (£565).
An online description of the Delfina gown describes it as “asymmetrically draped and wardrobe pleated,” adding, “This one-shoulder silhouette features a confident side cut and a high-low hem.”
TikTok has been inundated with users sharing how the dress fits them, and many, including Love Islanders and fashion bloggers, have been impressed with the results.

The high-end version, made by ALC Ltd, comes in a range of colors from champagne pink to bright orange and coffee brown.
The dresses create an hourglass effect for the wearer, as the “vintage satin” they are made of is ruched on one side at the waist, allowing the material to drape beautifully.
Regardless of the steep price tag, the dresses are now sold out in several different sizes after fans flocked to purchase the elegant dress.
