The DYAD dress features a flattering wrap design. The dress is actually four dresses in one: it is reversible forwards and backwards, as well as inside and out. Its signature wrap-around silhouette cinches at the waist, accentuating curves while providing a comfortable and adjustable fit.’

Ever since her teenage years watching What Not to Wear in the suburbs of Chicago, Alyssa Marcheleta has been fascinated by the ways clothing can make people feel about themselves. Her design process is driven by the belief that sewing is the deepest act of love for ourselves, full of energy and ritual.
