Jesica Milton’s SS10 “Jordie” Dress
Prior to New York Fashion Week and the Independent Fashion Bloggers Dress Up Soiree, I had a dream come true thanks to Jesica Milton, an amazing contemporary designer based in Seattle. She designed a “Jordie” dress for me to wear to the Dress Up event and let me into her studio to see show me the creation process first hand. WOW!
On top of the honor that comes with having a piece named after me, to actually see it come from concept to reality felt like a real life Project Runway experience…and I got to be the model! Below is a slide show of the dress from start to finish.
And here is how I wore it to the event with thigh high boots:
Jesica recently showed the dress as her finale piece at Portland Fashion Week, among other drool-worthy pieces. Before moving to New York, I bought the grey swing skirt in the outfit pic below and have worn it in at least five different outfits. It’s the perfect piece to take you from fall to winter.
Wearing:
- Cardigan: SPUN (worn upside down; via Greenloop for $65)
- Tank: American Apparel
- Skirt: Jesica Milton (via Stanton James for $179)
- Tights: Urban Outfitters
- Boots: Aldo
- Earrings: I Heart Norwegian Wood
Stay tuned for much more from Jesica Milton!

That is very cool, looks great on you too of course.
That is pretty bad ass indeed. Show it off proud, my friend! It’s not every day we get our own pieces named after us
Or, ever really.
Gorgeous dress and I love that gray skirt. Looks great with the yellow top and the short black jacket.
Hi Jordana! I had no idea that this dress was made just for you! that’s so amazing and flattering too
It looked super cute on you that night too! xo
The dress is incredibly beautiful. What an honor!
Love the dress!

I was admiring your dress all night – great to hear the story behind it!
thanks for this post! it was really fun to see the creation process…
I loved the “Jordie” Dress…especially the fabric choice…and the design…the only problem that distracted the dress…was the choice of the zipper…it really took away from the overall look…right down the middle of the dress…at least it could have been pressed…sorry its the details…
Wow, what an honour to be a part of that process! I bet that’s something you’ll remember forever.
Love the dress, it’s gorgeous. Becky.
