Loved this dress! It was a fun twist on a LBD. Fit true to size for me. 

Love love love this dress. Perfect length for me. I'm tall and don't like things too short. The bell sleeves were amazing--cute and noticeable without being overwhelming. It's kind of casual material in a way,  but you can wear it with heels to a party or out to dinner. The bust was on the snugger side--in fact in came with a tiny rip in the front seem. I'm 5'8" and 120 pounds. 

Love, LOve, LOVE this dress.   I wore this out to a jazz restaurant with hubby. I was a little funky vibe so I dressed it down with a pair of Vince sneakers and plaid tights. I guess I didn't read the product notes, so was surprised by the "wind breaker" material of the dress.  It's a little light for the winter, but we are having a couple of warm days right now.  This dress is so comfortable that I would wear it every time we go into the city if I could get away with it. 

It looks more edgy in person, with the thin fabric being slightly shiny. The flared cuffs make a dramatic statement too. The bottom of the V neck came slightly torn which I had to carefully stitch together before wearing. 

I wore this to a museum event and it felt perfectly appropriate; this dress is artsy with a subtle edginess.  I love that feeling where you get the outfit exactly right for the occasion.  Wear this when you need to look like the "cool girl" in the room!
It has a loose fit, which some might find shapeless, but I feel the quality of the fabric, the cut out shoulders and deep V balance this out. (It might overwhelm a smaller frame.) Worn with De La Renta Red Impatients Flower Drop Earrings and black wood heeled wedges. 


Another great dress by DEREK LAM! Running true to size, we recommend sizing up for backup. There is comfortable room throughout the midsection but the fabric has no stretch.  This style would fit best for A-C cup sizes and you are able to wear it with a standard bra! At 5'10", the length hit mid-thigh.  I love the cutouts on the shoulders and the pockets! 

The dress was only ok. It was pretty shapeless. The shoulder cutouts and side slots helped make it a little sexy but all in all felt sack like. It ran large so I'd suggest sizing down. 

Never fails, my favorite designer!! What a great dress in a light airy brushed cotton. The cut on the sleeves and the pockets make for a very contemporary and sophisticated design. Fashion forward.

This dress is perfect for those times you want to stand out without going overboard.  The shoulder cutouts have long strings that can be tied into cute little bows.  This dress was not at all fitted in the waist, but it still looked sleek and not baggy on me.  It did wrinkle really easily, so it's a good idea to have a steamer on hand.  

This was quite loose around my mid section, and also quite short. I found it perfect for brunch on vacation. The fabric and details are great, and you can tell it's a high end piece. 

This is an adorable dress.  You feel covered but sexy at the same time.
I will definitely rent this dress again!

The slit can be a little high probably for taller girls

definitely needed a touch up with the iron before wearing...would rent it again, though

Not your average LBD. There's a lot going on with this dress -- shoulder cutouts, shoulder ties, and flared arms. It's large in general, especially around the waist. The 36 was too big for me. The arms flare out quite a bit more than the picture, which makes it look a bit witchy. The neckline is nice (not too low and not too high). The material is not stretchy at all, but it is still a nice fabric. Good dress for a casual night out but runs big.

I was excited about this dress because the pictures were cute but I could not wear it. A size 10 was very baggy on top and tight on my hips and rear. I am a true pear so this dress was opposite of my frame. The color was also a bit faded. I was disappointed but I think a larger size would not have worked.
