About Dress The Population
Founded in 2011, Dress the Population was created to offer fashion-forward occasionwear that bridges the gap between designer luxury and accessible contemporary fashion. Headquartered in Los Angeles, the brand quickly became known for glamorous eveningwear featuring premium fabrics, flattering silhouettes, and sophisticated detailing. The collections include cocktail dresses, formal gowns, bridesmaid dresses, bridal styles, jumpsuits, and elevated separates designed for weddings, galas, parties, and special occasions. Signature elements include sequins, intricate lace, crepe tailoring, beading, illusion details, and modern minimalist silhouettes that appeal to a wide range of personal styles. Dress the Population has expanded its commitment to size inclusivity by offering many core styles in Extended Sizes, generally ranging from XXS through 3X (approximately sizes 0-24). Rather than maintaining a separate plus-size collection, many bestselling dresses are available across both straight and extended sizes, allowing customers to shop the same designs regardless of size. Today, Dress the Population is sold through its direct-to-consumer website as well as major retailers including Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Saks Fifth Avenue, Revolve, and specialty boutiques. The brand remains a favorite for modern occasion dressing, combining polished design with accessible luxury pricing.
