Every Nookie piece is thoughtfully designed to accentuate your natural shape. We craft our garments using premium, signature stretch fabrics that gently contour to your silhouette, delivering a flawless, feminine fit with ease and elegance.
Step into Your Nookie Piece
Always step in from the bottom, never over the head. Nookie dresses are tapered at the hem to create a graceful hourglass silhouette. Trust the design, step in and let it shape you.
A Little Help Goes a Long Way
You may need a hand with the zipper, this is perfectly normal. The fit is intentionally snug to sculpt your figure, much like built-in shapewear. Once zipped, you’ll feel the signature Nookie fit which is sleek, secure, and always flattering.
Style with Finishing Touches
Try on with the heels you plan to wear to ensure the hemline falls just right. You may also wish to try with your preferred bra, though our styles are designed to support and enhance the bust on their own with many styles having added bust support features like wadding and boning. For the smoothest finish, we recommend seamless undergarments.
