Wanted to love.
Size down. I couldn't find a way to make it look right on me -- I didn't like it buttoned or unbuttoned.

So fun to wear. Just not the best in photographs since is does have a lot of fabric in the middle.

Euro sizing.
Was a little tight through the waist.....I'm usually a true 6.....would have liked more if I had sized up.

Adorable!
Loved wearing this dress once it is on.....but the side zipper is SO hard to get up past the waist......it's one of those tiny zippers that just doesn'tb go up without a struggle. Also, don't wear this traveling through the airport unless you want a *complete* pat down......the wire bodice runs throughout the top! lol.

Great neckline. A little short
I'd been eyeing this dress for a while. Love the neckline. I ended up wearing it with Rothy's for a casual WFH look. Great for zoom calls with the gorgeous neckline. Would have been a little too short for me in a conservative office.

Love everything else about this dress.....but the top is not accommodating. I wore it on a day I was working from home.....it gave me horrible flat uniboob.... Dress is a little short .....it was to my to top of my ankles.

So roomy and stylish -- despite what my 12 year old says!
This bag just screams cool to me. Although my 12 year old asked why I had a trash bag with a zipper in the back seat of the car. Insert eye roll emoji. Surprisingly roomy. Still have it and have visions of a long weekend with only carrying on this bag.

Not a coat person but loved this!!
Oh how much I love unlimited for the few days in Dallas where I really need a coat -- and I can get one based on my week. I wore this for a few cold days and really loved it. Even my teenage girls complimented it on me. That's a good coat!!

Runs small through hips and legs.
Although I wasn't able to wear these amazing pants -- I gave them five stars because the people they will for -- they will be your favorite!!! I wear 6 in just about everything. The mediums were way too tight in the hips and thighs to even try to zip. It felt like I was trying on clothes in the juniors department. So sad. These had the potential to be a staple in my wardrobe.

Love!
So tempted to give this gorgeous sweater a bad review so I can have it available whenever it gets chilly in Texas. But I can't. It's gorgeous and flows so perfectly.

Be sure to check out the back. NSFW
Loved the fabric of this dress but for me, wasn't able to wear because of the back. I thought I could just wear a jacket with it to cover the exposed area (and wear an actual bra)......but there is a bizarre gathering/poof of fabric right on the hip. (The last place I want extra bulk). Not sure where one would wear it -- it's really like a mullet dress - business in the front and party in the back.

Buttons came undone all day.
Super adorable dress with a little more sass than I expected! Was a little snug than most 6's. The buttons kept coming undone -- and one popped off sometime during the day -- from my skinniest area. I pretty much stayed locked up in my office all day to avoid a wardrobe malfunction.

Runs super small!
Why do I keep thinking I can wear this brand? I am a true size 6 (and closer to a 4 than an 8) and this dress in an 8 was way too small. I think it would be a great fit for my teenage daughters, but if you've had a few kids and have any curves.....I'd keep looking.....

Gorgeous dress -- runs small
I rented this dress for my daughter's middle school graduation, then added a sweater to wear it to the office. The colors and details in this dress are fabulous. So many compliments -- especially from my two middle school daughters (and they are a tough crowd!). I generally wear a 6 in almost everything, but the 8 here fit like my 6's normally do.

Love love love!!!!
This gorgeous dress is sooooo comfortable and fits perfectly. It's a great length and the combination of patterns works beautifully. I wore a normal bra with pretty straps in case they showed. Strapless would probably be better......but I wore to work and wanted to be comfortable. I'm looking for other places to wear this dress again!

Liked so much more than I thought I would!
When I first put this on, I didn't think I was going to wear it.......but am glad I gave it the chance. I'm generally a 6, sometimes 8 and wore the 42. It fit different on me than in the picture -- it's not so much off-the-shoulder or angular at the bottom. I wore a regular bra and just pushed my strap down a bit off my shoulder. Have received SO many compliments. The bottom of the shirt is elastic, so I was concerned it would poof out in an unattractive way. That wasn't the case!! Paired with white jeans for casual day at the office. May wear with long, dark shorts this weekend!

Adorable shirt!
This shirt is even cuter IRL. The color is gorgeous and the details are extraordinary. I did iron the large black flower before wearing, as it came wrinkled and didn't stand up off the shirt -- the jagged neckline really makes the shirt. The straps are not adjustable and seem to run a bit large.....nothing some creative pinning can't fix! I also made it into a short sleeve shirt by pulling it up on my shoulders -- not nearly as cute -- but made it more appropriate for a few meetings on a casual day at the office!

First Shoshanna dress I didn't love
This dress is so cute in pictures, but way too short for my office. It runs much smaller than other Shoshanna dresses. Fabric is pretty thick and not very summer-esque.

Love this dress!!
I ended up purchasing this dress. It's a great wardrobe staple and can be dressed up or down with jewelry, scarves, jackets, sweaters, shoes, etc. I had read it had pockets and didn't really think that was a big deal -- until I had them! These pockets are truly functional and when you slide your phone in one, the whole dress keeps its shape and you no longer look like THAT person who always has their phone on them all the time!! I'm between a 6 and 8 and got the 8 -- the fit is very comfortable and has a great flow to it. Just a bit big on me.....the 6 would have worked too. But great day to leave the spanx at home or after a night of overindulging!

Adorable top! Very versatile!
I love this top! I sized up and although I wore a cami underneath for work, one small black safety pin has held it closed fine! Going to wear it with long black shorts or white jeans for a date tonight! I did have to iron the bow as it came tied and was wrinkled when undone. Been playing with bow tied in front and on the side. Not sure which way I like better!! Seriously considering purchasing...
