I liked this shirt online, and the fabric and print are lovely! Because of the flowy open design in the back, the shirt looked wide and boxy in the front. I think it'd be perfect for a person whose body type is more straight/lean and less curvy; as a person with broad shoulders and a bigger chest, it was a "miss" for me.

I rented this shirt to wear on a daytime date. It was comfortable and easy to wear in the early summer (80-90 degrees F), and the fit was really flattering. Sorry there's no photo, but I really enjoyed this casual piece.

I needed a dress for my graduate school commencement ceremony, and this dress was perfect! The fabric is heavy enough to lay smoothly, but is not so heavy that the dress was too hot. The fabric is also stretchy, and fits snugly across the chest and natural waistline and is loose around the lower abdomen and hips, so it works well with an hourglass body type. Full disclosure: I would've preferred the 12 for my shoulders/chest area, but it was not available, and the 10 was close enough to work. I liked the dress so much, I wore it to a church service the next day with black heels. It's not easy to see in pictures, but the red/navy sections have small black layers in between, so nude or black shoes both look nice.

The chiffon on this dress lays perfectly, and there's adequate lining underneath to hide any undergarments. Easy to wear a normal bra with this gown. I was very comfortable all day long (even at a hot, muggy outdoor wedding).

The fabric on this dress is a heavier cotton blend, so it's breathable and stretchy, but heavy enough to smooth out any bumps underneath. This was an easy date night outfit that could be styled many different ways.

This dress fit like a dream! I'm a size 8/10, and while I could squeeze into the 8, the 10 was much more comfortable around my ribs (it zips under the left arm). The fabric was heavy, which meant the dress laid well throughout the day. I loved the pockets (I could carry my phone, sunglasses and lipstick with no visible bulges). The open back was sexy, yet tasteful, and the waistline compared with the full skirt made my waist look small. I loved this so much, I've already rented it for a wedding next month. I would highly recommend!

I ordered this dress as a backup in a 10 and a 12, and I could wear either size, but it didn't seem to be the most flattering cut for my body. I have an hourglass shape and broad shoulders, and the straight cut hid some of my better features (tight on hips, flattened bustline, and hid my waist). That said, I think the dress would be lovely on someone with a straight or more athletic body type. I was disappointed not to wear it!

I wore this dress to a cocktail dinner. The body is very thick and stretchy, which makes it snug, but in a very forgiving way. I wore the 8, but I could've easily worn a 10 for a bit more room if it had been available for my event. I have an hourglass shape, and I felt it did a great job playing up my curves. The dress is very comfortable - I danced all night long! The sleeves make it perfect for fall/winter without being too warm indoors. I'm 5'5", and the hem hit just above the knee. I would definitely rent or purchase this dress in the future. It made me feel sexy without being too revealing.
