Date night fun!
Forgiving and also not too revealing of a halter for bigger busted ladies. Can't wear a bra due to open back but sticky options work well Absolutely loved this!!

Easy chic
I loved how flowy this dress was but the collar and poplin material gave it a nice structure. Felt really easy to go from work to a nice dinner afterwards. Very a line so generous on the hips. And it has pockets!

Cute top for summer
We’re out to dinner with white jeans. Something was kind of weird about the bust and arm holes (felt like it was a combination of tight and draping too low at the same time ) but definitely not deal breaker in order to wear

Quite curve friendly. Styled this menswear jumpsuit with a white button down Oxford. Was maybe a little bit shorter than I had anticipated, but I am long legged and almost 5’10”.

The dress is definitely of a structured material, not exactly flowy. Is silky lined so it’s OK for Summer but definitely not breezy . The color was vibrant and stunning. Probably something for a nicer dress code wedding guest. I wore on vacation out for a nice meal. Back is open so you’ll need non-traditional bra to wear.

I love the corseted top. Was fitted and snug without feeling like you can’t breathe. That and the floral print just make this a lovely little number.

Feminine date night moment
Loved how thin the material was making this perfect for hot summer evenings. And I loved the mix of the black with the floral print. Is decently chesty. So need to be prepped to have the girls out a little bit, but for me was just showy enough

Coastal chic - fun open back
I don’t have pictures of the back, but that makes this stress extra special. Fit and flare with the corset cupping, and side string bowtie details really elevate the gingham dress look

Easy breezy summer vacation
Loved this dress and how easy it was. Bandeau material is stretchy and forgiving so OK for big chested ladies, and the a-line cut is nice to keep things breezy for summertime. Coastal Chic!

Put together a little monochrome number. Perfect for nighttime evenings that start warm and cool down. Elastic band was forgiving and size I chose was great even for girls with big hips.

The strap for dress to tie around is too high
The tie around ribbon for the dress sits on the mid line of the breast, way too high. I ended up styling it by tying the bow in the front. While I managed to get some compliments on the dress when I was out. The fit just felt off.

Summer midi moment pt 38446
A Midi dress is my spring/summer work uniform. This one fit pretty good, but was a little bit tight on the arms. Otherwise fine on bust and hips. Overall enjoyed the look!

Belted to give some shape
I loved the pattern of this fabric and the fun one shoulder moment, but it wasn’t perfect. The material was a bit scratchy/ran hot for a summer dress, and I like shapeless, but this without any help drowned me, so I added a belt and then actually pulled the fabric up so you couldn’t even see it

Cute bright scarlet red dress that I wore to see Nutcracker at the theatre. Snug and curve hugging (expected since I’m closer to a 16/18 in the hips but ok for bigger busts. Sleeves are quite loose even though they have zippers at the ends to close them

I live for midi/maxi summer dresses and this one is no exception. Beautiful blue color and I love the understated details like the tie straps and the structured corset look (not actually built). Definitely a long one so shorter girls beware

Ties are weird for waistline accentuation so I brought my own belting
Super cute color. Naturally shapeless dress but the ties included on the dress (built in) don’t do it much justice. They tie in the back so I just put my own belt over. Nice for a classy luncheon.
