Great for dancing! And POCKETS!
This dress was fantastic for a summer wedding. The material was lighter than I expected and the top portion is actually ruched (which I couldn't tell from the photos), but looks very nice. I am smaller chested and the top was pretty big on me. I recommend sizing down and choosing a size based on your chest and rib cage size because the skirt is very generous in the hips and behind.

Great daytime dress!
I loved this dress! I am a consistent 2/4 on top and 4/6 on bottom. The 2 fit well on top (if not a little roomy) and the skirt of this dress is VERY roomy. I recommend sizing for your top because you will have plenty of room if you are curvy below. The fabric is lined and has no stretch. The open back is a fun detail and not too revealing because the front and skirt are very conservative. The weather didn't cooperate with me this weekend so I paired with a structured leather jacket.

Super cute, but a little out-there!
I didn't end up wearing this top but only because my plans fell through. I am only 5'3" and the length in the back was a bit much for my height, I thought... Though I think it would be great with the right bottoms, it definitely needs a slim silhouette below to balance the sleeves and peplum effect. The buttons are snaps, so bigger busts beware! With my 34B chest, the buttons weren't strained but I didn't have a ton of room. I would recommend people with bigger busts going up a size. The fabric is a lovely cotton feel but DOES wrinkle.

Brunch winner!
I wore this for brunch and kicking around town on a Sunday. Got loads of compliments! Fabric is thin and gauzy but not see-through at all. Lots of stretch in the shoulders and waist. I typically wear 2/4 on top and 4/6 on bottom. I wore a medium because I wanted to be sure the shorts were not too tight. Medium was comfortable but I probably could have gotten away with small as it was pretty big on top. would recommend going down a size for backup because of generous stretch in shoulders and waistband and plenty of extra fabric up top.

Great for a daytime event!
This dress is gorgeous. Conservative cut but the sleeves are enough of a statement. The fabric is thick and slightly silky, very high quality feel. There is no stretch to the fabric so beware! I am typically a 2/4 on top and a 4/6 on bottom and the Medium was VERY tight on hips and rear but comfortable on top. Recommend going up a size for your back up if you are curvier on bottom.

Gorgeous and fun - very sex and the city
Loved this skirt! Wore with a top I bought from the rtr clearance sale last year. I'm 5'3" or 4" and it reached below the knee, mid calf, not quite to the ankle. I ironed before I wore and it laid so well. This pic was from the end of the night after sitting and dancing so it looks a little wilder than earlier in the evening. I am usually between and 2 and 4 (with my smallest point at my waist often a 2) and the 4 was a little tight, FYI! Would rent again,

Pretty top, runs large
I really liked this top but it ran rather large on me. I believe this is meant to be slightly larger and swingy but it didn't work work for my small top and larger bottom. I would definitely size down if you aren't particularly "gifted" up top, like me!

Dressed up a white button up and puffy vest!
Wore this for thanksgiving and couldn't have loved more. Legitimately may buy these. I went for a medium (usually 4/6 on bottom) because I wanted a more trouser-y look rather than leggings. Fabric did not feel scratchy to me and had plenty of stretch to eat a huge meal and play on the ground with nieces and nephews. Highly recommend!

Fun and easy
Love a jumpsuit and this one was great. No stretch, so I might not go for it if I knew I would be sitting down most of the time wearing it. Opening in the back was lower than bra height but the top layer was loose so I wasn't worried about not wearing one. Big fan!

Stunner
Loved this dress. The lace is gorgeous and the dress is very well made. The top is structured enough that I didn't need to wear a bra. The length was just at or below my knee, which definitely balanced the sexier top and back. There is really no give or stretch to this dress so I would size up if you are questioning.

Classic
Good quality and very classic. A good accent, not the star of the show. Perfect size to not be annoying but still make a statement.

I felt so great in this dress. The winched waist is so flattering and the material Is luxurious and flowy. So fun to dance in and got so many compliments. The waistband had no stretch but it was a great cut for me with a small waist and bigger hip area. I went braless but a strapless would work fine

Perfect for summer wedding
Loved this dress. Light and airy. I went braless but you may want a backless bra if you have a little more going on up top than I do. The high-low hem is fun. Over all the dress was pretty long on me - I wore 4" heels and the back touched the ground (front just above ankle)

So cute, comfortable
I got this as a backup for my engagement pictures. I didn't wear for the pics (the other dress I got was also a knockout) but I loved it so much that I wore it to dinner the next day. Can dress up or down. Flexible/soft neoprene. Very flattering. The box pleat in the front might add a little volume in the front (that I wasn't keen on for pictures) but not enough to discourage from wearing. The pattern is stunning and the dress is well made

So comfy and cute!
Absolutely loved it, would buy it in a second. A little big but was slouchy in a flattering way. Nude colored underwear are a must, fabric is slightly sheer.

Mystery bling - AMAZING
This necklace was so cool - very Cleopatra. I got it as a mystery bling and was SO impressed. Everyone loved it so much they wanted to wear it the next night

Fun and comfortable
Wore this for my bachelorette party, liked a lot but couldn't get a good picture. The shorts part is pretty boxy, which I liked. I'm smaller on top and bigger on bottom and fit well on top and a little loose on bottom. The lace wasn't too revealing

Flattering and comfy!
LOVE this dress. Wore for my bridal luncheon and got tons of compliments. My only issue was that I found the fabric to be a little clingy - you could see lines from underwear/spanx through fabric (but not sheer at all, just could see lines). Would rent again.

Very pretty, ran small on me
I'm small on top but fuller on bottom. Usually a 2 is good for me on top and this silhouette usually works fine for my hip area. I found the sleeves to have no give and were painfully small, couldn't even get all the way on. Very well made and beautiful, however.

Great rehearsal dinner dress, but a bit snug
Gorgeous dress, beautiful quality. Love the illusion detail on top. Fabric has no give. I'm small on top and bigger hip and behind. This dress fit well on top but was tight in the waist (which is rare for me) and almost too small on bottom. I am usually between a 2 and a 4 (4 on bottom).

Adorable dress, no stretch
I loved wearing this dress. It was so cute and can be dressed up or down. However, there is no stretch here! I am a small B cup and was fine. Also have a bigger booty and was fine. But no stretch.
