A bit hard to pair, bulky but pretty
I had a really hard time styling this skirt. It beautiful and breezy, but runs big and is not super flattering. I finally paired it with a skin tight cami and a fitted jean jacket, and it still made me look a little big, but created a pretty effect, overall. The waistband is generous and a soft elastic, so don't count on actually using the pockets to hold anything that has any weight without it falling down.

Emery Maxi Skirt
Cleobella
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 170lbs
Bust: 36B
Gorgeous, eye catching, tons of compliments
This dress was stunning. When I first put it on, I felt like the big proportions of the details (ruffles! big pattern in bright colors! puff sleeves!) made me look larger, but when I cinched the belt tight, I actually think the fabric did a good job of smoothing me out and was actually flattering, in the end. I might suggest a cute slip and I wore it with a black scoop bralette, because the wrap function made the top gap a tiny bit and the skirt does open fall when sitting.

Marisol Wrap Dress

Nice fabric, but baggy proportions
With everything so voluminous and the print so big and bright, I felt a little bit like a clown in this. I probably wouldn't wear it again, but it was comfortable, so maybe would size down and add a fitted jacket? Or a belt, if your body handles belts (mine does not).

Sweater with a twist
Loved this sweater, which paired easily with black skinny jeans or a skirt. It's unusual and eye catching without being weird or tacky. I could have sized down for a little more flattering fit,

Interlocked Turtleneck Sweater

Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 8"

Bust: 36B
Extremely comfortable, but pretty baggy
I loved the neck detail and how cozy this dress was, but it did fit a bit like a sack. While I appreciate the camouflage, the proportions were a little silly by the end of the day, as the dress continued to stretch.

Faux Wrap Turtleneck Dress
Fifteen Twenty
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 172lbs
Bust: 36B
Comfy, well placed pattern
I thought this dress was going to be a bit tight/unflattering, but it relaxed quickly after putting it on without getting baggy throughout the day. Easy to move in, warm, and more interesting than my usual athleisure.

Classic, cozy, polished
This was a simple dress that I wore for a lunch with a friend. It was super comfortable and yet was easily dressed up with jewelry and bright shoes. I also found it very forgiving for my post-pregnancy body.

Cute, sturdy, and full skirted
This dress was pretty and well made. The side buttons were adorable. I appreciated the pockets, though the skirt was a little fuller than what I gravitate towards. Will definitely wear it, though!

Tiffany Dress

Usual Size: 5

Bunched and wrinkled
Very oddly fitted. The waistband seemed wavy and puckered in a non-intentional way; the bodice was poofy and unflattering. And yet it barely zipped? I didn't think I could wear this without being self conscious.

Beautiful, breezy mixed media dress
Very pretty, easy to wear though I'd be scared to eat much (the skirt is nicely draped but very thin). Gorgeous knit work up top and unusual color combination. Could be dressed up or down.
