“[I was] just completely gobsmacked at first,” Robertson, 34, said in an interview with U.K. newspaperThe Timeson Thursday.
“We had no idea she even had the dress. It turns out she’d actually placed the order for it herself. She’d actually ordered it and paid for it," she added.
The designer, who is based in Perth, Scotland, co-founded the online fashion brand with her husband, Stuart, and launched the store in 2015.

“Yesterday was probably the wildest day that we have ever had,” she tells PEOPLE. “We didn’t know anything about it so we didn’t know that she even had the dress. It wasn’t like a press gift or a PR situation. She literally placed the order and bought it herself. But we didn’t even know that ‘cause she did it under a fake name.”

Swift’s latestReputation-coded look comes as fans speculate that the star will soon be releasing the “Taylor’s version” of her 2017 studio album. This is due to her appearing in outfits thatconvey a goth aestheticand snake motifs which dominated her style when herReputationalbum was first released.On Instagram, Little Lies expressed their delight at seeing the “Blank Space” singer wearing one of their looks.
“Big moment for Little Lies waking up to see Taylor Swift has been photographed wearing our Sweet Jane Olive Mini Dress!,” a caption on a Thursday post on Little Lies’Instagram pagebegan.
The brand’s post continued, “Major ‘pinch me’ moment - she looks absolutely unreal and we LOVE how she’s styled it! Sign up for pre-order over at Little-lies.com to get your hands on Taylor’s look 💚."

The team then found the specific order, and now believe that Swift herself, or a member of her team, made the purchase for the dress using a pseudonym.
Despite the increase in pre-orders for the dress, the boutique owner said the cost of the dress “will stay exactly the same," she toldThe Times. “I do love her music, but what I really love is that she’s worn this in a very Stevie Nicks way.““She is literally the most famous person in the world,” she adds to PEOPLE on Friday. “For such a small independent brand, it’s so incredible of her to not only shop and support but to actually then wear it. She knows what effect this is going to have better than anybody. So very very grateful for it.”
