April 21st marked the launch of the Costello Tagliapietra 6 piece capsule collection. I arrived around 10:45 in the morning and was relieved to find no line up in or outside of the store. The dresses are set up on the right hand side of the store just past the main glass box centerpiece.
Each dress comes in two colors and there were plenty of sizes and stock when I arrived. After making some small talk with the cashier while checking out she let me know that they received 1,000 pieces of the collection that day and that hopefully it would last through the weekend.
While the cashier also said that there was no line up when the store opened, there were plenty of people continually snagging up the dresses. While sizing was available when I hit up the store, I have a feeling the smaller sizes will fly off the racks first.
Since drapey dresses are harder to picture and since I ended up grabbing a whole whack load of dresses for Erin and my friend AND because my fab housemate has a judy lying around, here's what the pieces look like on:

love the seafoam green one! can you add a belt or is the drape constricting?
you can definitely add a belt and still be comfy. with that dress, i think a skinny belt would look best - esp a woven one. and the other dresses would look great with a skinny or wider belt.

Even though I don't wear dresses (haha), I think this would be better without a belt - just based on what I saw of the construction of the dress and how it draped over the Judy. The under layer of the dress is fairly snug on the body while the wrapped layer drapes over. A belt will work but it will limit the movement of the dress - and I think this piece in particular is meant to move as you move and flow with your body. The other pieces can definitely be paired with a belt.
hope that helps!

you guys are awesome - thanks! i just went to the store and tried it on and must agree the drape needs to hang - loved it and bought it! i tried on the one thats sleeveless on one side and has a drape on the other and think that one was too loose - thoughts? cowl neck one screamed - work dress - to me - i think cause of the neck. you guys? i love teh blue short sleeve one! what great comfy pieces for the summer!
Glad you liked the collection and snagged the dress - the color is amazing and reminds me of the statue of liberty! The one sleeved dress would be good with a belt (Erin picked up this one and the one with the tie in the front) and the cowl neck piece would definitly work in the office.
