Nadia Bartel can now officially add ‘designer’ to her CV.
The stylist, blogger and online store owner has partnered with Aussie designer brand Asilio the Label to create a dress as part of their “The Exclusives Collection”.
It’s not just any dress either. One look at the white, off-the-shoulder, calf-length number and it’s pretty clear that this could very well be the dress of the season. The fact that it sold out in less than an hour of its first release doesn’t hurt either.
“You all know I’m drawn to pieces with a minimal edge so this dress is all about clean lines and tailoring so it fits the body like a glove (and sucks you in) with moulded fabric, reformed lace and a little bonding,” she said of the design.
“Of course, I went with my fav off the shoulder neckline, because I think it suits every body shape (big bust or small).”
At $369.95, the ‘Nadia’ dress is not exactly cheap, but whether for weddings, hens, birthdays, Spring racing, Saturday night out or Tuesday night in, it really covers every base.

And Bartel thought of everything when it came to the design features.
It may be strapless but you won't have to worry about wrestling with a stick on bra thanks to the clever detailing on the back.
"My favourite feature of the dress is the architecture of the low back with two linear straps that hold you in so you don’t need a bra while wearing it- winning!" she wrote on her blog. (Post continues after gallery.)
Don't let the semi-sheer lace skirt concern you either. It comes with built in shorts and lining so there's no need for a slip underneath. and apparently "works wonders to suck you in."
More hors d'oeurves for us then! (Post continues after audio.)
Nadia Bartel shares what life for a WAG is really like.
Available at Myer, Bartel's online store The Con_nection and a few other boutiques, you'll want to snap it up quickly.
However if you do miss out, don't fret.
Bec Judd has also revealed she has designed a dress for the collection, sharing a sneak peak on her Instagram.

Expect plenty of lace, rose gold hardware, cut outs, a high neck and long sleeves.
Unfortunately we'll have to wait a bit longer to see the full reveal of Judd's design, which will open the Asilio The Label show at Melbourne Spring Fashion Week on September 1st.
We can't wait.
