Purchased this dress. That's says it all!
Great print. Perfect for Sunday brunch, on vacation at the beach, or running errands and looking fabulous!

Wore once . . .
This is a fall cardigan; it was too heavy from a cool spring day. It did look great with a beige dress. The material felt odd. The texture is visually appealing, but not to the touch.

Workhorse skirt for casual spring and summer days
Perfect to dress it up for brunch with your girls or with a tee and flip flops to run errands. Material is a thin cotton--perfect for summer.

New tags . . . and I didn't wear it
Beautiful print and material. Was hoping to wear this maxi dress to a spring rooftop party. There is a lot of fabric in the front of the dress, which made me look pregnant. And less fabric in the back of the dress, so it did not flow as I hope.

Pretty print
Wore this skirt with a white tee. It's cute, but it was a windy day and skirt kept flying open. Coverage is sufficient and the material is nice . . . I just couldn't keep it closed.

Look stylish and stay cool on a hot day!
Got this dress for vacation to New Orleans. Perfect for walking around, taking a cooking class, and staying cool. The material is crisp and light--I didn't feel the need to belt it.

Solid work dress
Perfect dress for work, styled with tall boots and a black leather jacket. The material doesn't breathe, so I got really hot with the jacket on.

Okay for everyday wear
This dream stretched out of shape pretty quickly. I wore it once and it was fine.

Rib Sweater Dress
DONNI.

Usual Size: 16

Bust: 38DD
Split in the back cut up too high!
Loved the style and idea of this dress--the fabric is heavy, it is a turtleneck, all great for a cold day. But I didn't wear it because the slit up the back went way too far up--my Spanx were visible (the dress is form fitting). Eek! So I took it off with a quickness.

It was cute enough . . .
Rented this jacket to wear over a winter sweater dress. It was fine, but not sure I'd rent again.

Flattering fit and comfortable fabric
Wore this dress several times for work with a cardigan and for date night with high heeled boots. Would buy if the price point were lower.

Great winter dress for work or weekends
I recommend sizing down. Though I am normally XXL, this one was too big. A belt might have helped to cinch the waist, but the shoulders were too big, too. I liked the fabric and stripes.

Well-made heavy denim dress
For a fuller chest, the defined bra cups did not fit. Overall, the dress fit well and was flattering. I wore a bodysuit underneath and a cropped jacket (which covered the top). Perfect for a winter outfit.

So many compliments!
I ordered this dress for a class reunion dinner. Several people asked me where I got it and complimented the rich colors. It looks great in photographs. The arms and chest were a little big, but not enough for the dress to appear ill-fitting.

Great quality "workhorse" bag to carry my laptop and daily items.
Loved the cognac color, the short handles (which are hard to find on a tote). As I type this, realize I should have purchased this bag. :(

I had to wear a camisole because the top part cut way low. Wore it once. Didn't feel comfortable or confident in this lightweight cotton dress.

n/a because I did not wear this dress.
I have thick thighs and a behind. It was too narrow across the hips to button. The material/print was nice.

The skirt makes this dress. The surprise colors in the pleats are a lovely touch. Heavier knit, so better for spring or fall.
