Left: Neptune Dress, Right: Moon Dress
The Roland Mouret collection is enough to make me want to work out 24/7 after my baby is born so I can buy the entire collection and be fabulous for every occasion of my life. Not that I need to be a size 0 for any of this stuff, I just need to have my old figure back and that is what I love about this RM line. He is realistic about what real women look like and he compensates for the trouble areas. My absolute most favorite must 
have is the Neptune Dress ($2385). It is sophisticated enough for important parties yet easy enough for regular lunches with girlfriends. The panels are strategically placed to give the appearance of a waist for those lacking, the skirt flips out to flatter the hips and the sleeves hide the much hated underarm crease. Tina ordered the Moon Dress ($2150) which is also to die for and perfect for her because it accentuates her small waist and elongates the legs. The fact that we can both buy from this line really says a lot about how well he understands the female form because anyone straight out of design school can make dresses look good for dolls and mannequins. To pair off with these perfect dresses, Roland collaborated with Christian Louboutin on shoes, how fun must that have been?!!? These Louboutin Slingbacks ($710) need no words of praise, just look at them and you will sell your beloved purebred cat to have them. The entire collection is available for pre-order on Net-a-Porter.
Apparently Victoria Beckham has reserved the entire line. Does this put you off?
Dear Bag Snob,
Before discovering your site I hadn’t paid much attention to fashion, and I don’t know whether to thank or blame you for wanting a piece of the RM collection. However classy/timeless/aesthetically pleasing they are, they remind me that I am no longer in my 20s. Can you prove me wrong?
mq- If I shopped like that I would have to throw out half the stuff in my closet. I don’t mind owning the same pieces as Posh because I will wear mine in a unique Bag Snob style 🙂
You read my mind–I love both of these too! I find them wearable for almost every occasion (NOT a soccer game, though). I just don’t think I want to drop $4000 on two dresses. Maybe one. Which one is better, in your bag snob opinion?
Wow Tina is right this gray version is better with the pink ostrich birkin! Thanks Kelly for the pictures!
Yes they are nice but not classics very trendy-fashionable. For this amount of $$$ I’d rather have another Chanel Flap bag that I can use year after year instead of just one season.
And yes the above reasoning is from women like me who works hard for not much $$$ and whose husband does not have Wall Street type bonuses.
Kelly, you are spot on about Roland and his amazing RM collection. I love Roland’s vision, and if I had the cash in the bank there are about a dozen pieces I would have ordered. That aside, I have pre-ordered the Navy Moon Dress and I will scrimp and save between now and the delivery date so my husband doesn’t kill me (even though ‘I made him a little girl all from scratch . . . ‘ so he should buy me all the RM dresses I want). I can’t wait to see it arrive and look forward to wearing it winter and summer, day and night, for many years.
