A female friend of mine just linked me this, I'd never seen it before and thought the ladies here might be interested. The whole site is female focused carry gear.

As a long time advocate for teaching ladies, and working HARD at finding good quality methods for ladies to carry, I can agree with Miss Lilly. Loose guns in a pocket are not the best way to carry. Plus,, I see a lot of "looseness" in the dress style,, and many ladies prefer a better fit to form dress.
And one thing we've proven time & again is that a "print" design on clothing assists a LOT in concealment of closer fitting clothes where a gun is concealed.

I can see where this dress has possibilities,, so maybe they can get good feedback & work out a bit better design.

That is a cool idea. I believe the gun should be secured more than just rattling around in a pocket.

I will stick with the thigh holster when wearing dresses.

Same, but with the issues getting women to on body carry I figure it's better than nothing. Wouldn't take much work to add a pocket holster and some velcro either.

Hardest job at the gun store was finding methods of carry that are compatible with women's fashion.

I figure a belt over the dress would snug it up nicely for fashion and carry purposes and seems a standard thing that happens

Agreed...

My favorite part of teaching a "Ladies Only" CCH class was dressing in my 'baglady outfit' and using all possible carry methods. I had at least 6 guns concealed on body along with with a CC handbag to demonstrate why off body is not the best option.

Easiest way to demonstrate why off body was bad was to wait until the female customer left her purse to go look at holsters or ammo or whatever and just set it on the floor behind the counter.
 
I know nothing about wimmens fashion but those dresses remind me of something that Michelle would wear, minus the foot wide belt.
 
Forwarded to the girlfriend maybe she’ll look at it and get some ideas. I’m not a fan of her carrying in her purse. She uses a garter holster a lot with dresses but other than that it’s rolling around somewhere in her 3 day pack size purse

When we do our ladies clinics,, Miss Penny will secure 5 firearms on her person, and NOT be wearing "bag lady" clothing. She's "busty" & wears a print type blouse,, and she makes the ladies laugh when she pulls up her shirt to un-shuck that LCP from her bra holster.

It is VERY hard to find good, solid, dependable methods for ladies to carry due to the cut of their clothes, the designs of clothing, and how a lady wears her clothes. But a few fairly good options are out there.

I got slapped for mentioning the "flash bang" holster once lol

She thought I was being saucy until I showed her the video.
 
:D :D

When we do a ladies clinic,, the only guy in the room or on the range during the CCW part,, is me. After she produces a firearm from one of the several places she has them,, we get serious about potential carry methods & vanity. When you NEED protection,, vanity is the last worry you should have.
We like to say; "We are all born naked,, there are only 2 types of bodies, and all of us have one & seen the other. Besides,, flashing a thug can easily distract him long enough to get the firearm into use."

Bad carry is often worse than no carry. Don't shoot your eye out
