Karen: “The attention to detail is why I keep shopping Dotty.”
Karen’s story is all about the details that make Dotty stand out from other brands. “I love how every piece feels like it was made with care. From the v-necks that aren't too low to the flattering cuts that work for my body type—Dotty just gets it.”
Karen has been eyeing the latest floral dresses and can't get enough of how versatile Dotty blouses are. “They’re perfect for work, especially the printed ones. I can style them with jeans or a skirt for a more polished look. I always feel so put together in Dotty!”
Melanie: “I’ve never been disappointed, but I would love more warm colors for autumn!”
Melanie is another Dotty Darling who can’t stop adding pieces to her collection. “Every item I buy becomes a staple in my wardrobe,” she says. She adores the vibrant colors but hopes to see more options in warm autumn hues. “Dotty just makes you feel like a star when you wear it. I especially appreciate how real women, with different body types, model the clothes. It gives me the confidence to shop online knowing they’ll look good on me, too.”
Melanie's top styling tip? “Layer Dotty tops with a fitted blazer for a chic and professional look!”
Sarah: “I love supporting local, and Dotty rocks the Toronto fashion scene!”
For Sarah, it's all about the brand’s roots. “I’ve been wearing Dotty since I saw a friend in one of Heather’s designs. The fit, the quality, and the Toronto-made stamp sold me immediately!” Sarah also values how Dotty is mindful of ethical production. “It’s important to me to support Canadian-made clothing, especially when the designs are so beautiful and easy to care for.”
Sarah’s pro tip? “I love my Dotty tiered dresses for travel. They never wrinkle, and I always get compliments!”
Jenna: “Dotty is my wardrobe staple.”
For Jenna, shopping Dotty is a habit she doesn't plan on breaking anytime soon. “I love the flattering cuts, fun fabrics, and the fact that the clothes last forever!” She also appreciates the flexibility of payment options. “Sometimes I can't afford everything I want right away, but Sezzle or Afterpay makes it easy to split the cost, so I can still build my Dotty collection.”
