While we're used to seeing Orange Is The New Black star, Jessica Pimentel, in an ill-fitting prison uniform, off camera, the New York native (who plays inmate Maria Ruiz) favors figure-flattering fashions.

Upon visiting the DailyMail.com offices, Jess donned her favored label, Brooklyn based designer Nadia Tarr. 'This short prom dresses fits like a glove,' says Jess. 'It's comfortable and stretchy – Nadia is one of my favorites.'

Check out our interview with the 36 year old actress, shop pieces from Nadia's collection and watch Jess's dramatic exit out of the building. Lets just say, she knows how to make a lasting impression!

While Nadia Tarr is known for designing fashionable and functional pieces (hello dresses with pockets!) that appeal to the contemporary woman, Jess's loyalty to the brand goes deeper.

With all the events and red carpet appearances that come with the launch of a new show, Jess reached out to the designer to borrow a dress.

'She got right back to me and let me pick out whatever I wanted from her warehouse – she was so kind about it,' says Jess. 'She had nothing to gain by helping me out. I'll always thank her for that.'

Seems Nadia's kindness has paid off, 'Now she's everywhere, I saw Khloe Kardashian wearing her line the other day,' Jess says proudly

The Orange Is The New Black star took the plunge in a grey Nadia Tarr number at the official launch party for PINOT by Tituss Burgess at the Box NYC.

A longtime fan of the designer, Jess wore the brand's black and white mini to the Annual Benefit by the Women's Prison Association in 2014.

Hands in pockets, she looked super chic in a floor-length gown by the Brooklyn brand at the Bibhu Mohapatra fashion show in New York.

The collection – featuring nautical prints in sexy silhouettes with breathable fabrics – is perfect for this time of year. So cop Jess's style and shop one of the below garments:
