Beautiful dress worn to make me feel lovely at a nice dinner date.
Dress makes you feel feminine. Shows just enough cleavage that you can wear to work, or like I did, to a meeting. Then I wore it to a celebratory dinner on a bright spring day. I felt pretty and feminine all evening. The dress is light without being flimsy, and fits perfectly in all places (including my 34DD). A little loose in the waist, but not noticeable, and actually made dinner more comfortable!

Rudbeckia Dress
J.Crew
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 134lbs
Bust: 34DD
Adds a little oomph to the suited look.
Wore to work with slacks and a blouse. Also wore over jeans a black tee for a night out for drinks. True to size (fitted, but stretchy, so no need to size up). It is a little heavy, so would not recommend for the summer.

Turned my otherwise drab office wear into a fun and hip outfit for after work drinks.
Super cute, cropped, and light-weight denim jacket. The jacket fit perfectly - and even though I'm a little big-busted, the stretch made it so that I didn't have to size up. I wore it to meet friends out for drinks after work, turning my black office wear into something more sporty and fun!

I was told repeatedly that I should buy this dress! I loved it - and so did everyone else!
This dress is gorgeous. It didn't look as good when I pulled it out of the box, but once I put it on, the sparkle on the lace and the brightness of the blue, along with the cut of the dress, were stunning (and I felt that way, too)! The dress was snug, but because of the layers, it was quite forgiving. I'm big-busted and was able to fit into the dress comfortably. I loved the open back. I didn't need to wear a bra because of the built in structures, so the open back was not an undergarment issue. The only thing that bothered me a little was the cap sleeve and lace under the arm. It rubbed a little, but didn't leave a mark or anything. If I had another formal event in my future, I'd either rent this dress again or find a way to buy it. I felt beautiful!

The color was gorgeous. The dress is flowing and forgiving.
The dress is beautiful. I'm a 36D/36DD, so I ordered a 10R and 12R. The 12R was too big, and while it was comfortable around the bust, it didn't hug my body well and looked frumpy. The 10R fit well around the bust. the 10R was tight around the rib cage, but was way more flattering. I didn't need a bra because the dress had built in supports. Both the 12 and the 10 had zipper issues (it was REALLY hard to pull up). If you're not sure about the size, I'd say choose the smaller/truer size for a better, more flattering fit. I got a ton of compliments - mostly about the color. I wore it to a formal outdoor event, and it was totally appropriate.
