This burnt orange dress is the perfect work option for Fall. Running true to size, we recommend sizing down if you prefer a more fitted style. I decided to put the tie in the back to mix it up, but it definitely made the look much more boxy since it didn't cinch at the waist. This style has a lot of room in the bust, therefore is good for any cup size and can be worn with a standard bra. Although this is a perfect dress for work, pair this with a large clutch and it works well for drinks with friends!

Stunning blue Milly dress for a night out! Running true to size, we recommend sizing up if you are curvier. Although this is a shift dress with comfortable room for any bust, I found that this was much more form fitting on me due to my larger bust and hips. The ruffle sleeves add a fun touch, and at 5'8" the hem hits about mid thigh on me, making it a perfect option to wear out with friends. Pair with a nude heels.

Stunning black dress by Nicholas.! I love the elegance of this style, mixed with the trendiness of the asymmetrical hemline. While there is enough room for any cup size, this style is best for A-C cups because there is very little support in the chest area, and the halter straps are delicate. Since there is an open back, and a cut out in front, we recommend that you go bra-less. We do suggest that you size up for fuller hips. Although it is fitted throughout the mid section and hips, the accent material on the side is very flattering. Pair this with some strappy heels and a simple bracelet for your next special date night!

This nha khanh dress exceeds all expectations. I cannot express how in love I am with this dress. On the hanger it appears to be a simple fit and flare, but once I tried it on I realized I was very wrong. The fit of this dress cannot be beat, and runs true to size. I have a large bust, and this style had enough room under the arms, and across the chest to be comfortable for any bust size! The material is thick enough that I was comfortable wearing this without a bra, but if you prefer more structure you can wear a standard bra. The dress is fitted throughout the midsection, but has a rich thick fabric that is very flattering. The lace detailing above the hips creates a cinching look. My favorite part of the dress is the structured flare of the skirt. At 5'8" this style hit about mid thigh on me creating a fun and flirty look, but the material still gives the dress a formal feel. Pair with some stilettos and a big cocktail ring for your next formal party!

There is something so elegant about a tea length gown and this Nicholas striped style does not disappoint. The black detailed trim along the edges of the dress is beautiful, and the pleats add the perfect shape without being overwhelming. There is no stretch to the material, but since the only fitted area is the natural waist, it is very comfortable to wear. I typically size up for my larger bust, but I had to hold this dress up just to keep it from falling off of me. Running very large, we recommend sizing down. Pair with a cuff, and some simple black heels for you next wedding or even an upcoming holiday party!

The sleeves on this Solace London Dress bring this Little Black Dress to a whole new level! I felt so confident and on trend with this high neck and bell sleeve style. As you can see the bell sleeve has a slit along the side, which allows you to move your arms freely. With the material being 100% polyester there is a lot of stretch, but is still thick enough to suck you in in all of the right places- especially the waist. Make sure to be mindful of the British sizing, I am actually in a US size 8 and was unable to zip it up since I am typically a size 12. If you are curvier, like me, I recommend sizing up to give yourself a little extra room to move around since it is fitted throughout the entire dress. Feel free to wear any bra you feel comfortable in since there is enough coverage up top. Wear your hair up, and rock some killer earrings for a daring look to your next party!

I love the patterned detail along the edges of this classic chambray wrap dress. Running true to size, I would recommend sizing up for a fuller bust. I found that this dress was a little low cut for a larger bust, but you can adjust the tie to accommodate for extra room. This dress is most fitted at the the natural waist where it is cinched with a tie. Throw on some sandals and this is the perfect dress for all of your weekend activities!

In love with this classy, yet sexy Monique Lhuillier dress. I am a HUGE fan of bright colors and this was the perfect choice. The lace cutout hits at the perfect spot to be flattering and subtle. Due to the lace detail along the collarbone, we recommend a strapless bra or Nubra. This dress runs true to size, but I recommend going up for backup since the dress has a fitted slip underneath the lace, making the hips and waist very fitted. Pair with a nude heels for your next summer wedding!

In love with how this silk dress feels! You can't go wrong with this prairie style. Running true to size, I recommend sizing down unless you have a larger ribcage. I would not recommend this dress to anyone with a cup size bigger than A to C. With a larger bust, I found that the beautiful button detail does not lay correctly and it was difficult to wear. This dress is very fitted at the natural waist, but then allows comfortable room throughout the midsection and waist. At 5'8" this dress hit between mid-thigh and knee length. Pair with some sandals for the perfect summer look!

I loved the chic simplicity of this long sleeved Tibi dress. While there is no stretch, I did not have trouble fitting my bust into this style. There is comfortable room throughout the midsection and natural waist, but is fitted in the hips. Because of this, I would recommend sizing up if you have larger hips. The back of the dress has a subtle back cut out and also slits for your elbows. I do have longer arms, and the elbow cutouts ending up falling above my elbow, but it was not a problem! At 5'8" this dress hit about mid-thigh. I absolutely loved that this dress is like a blank canvas! You can pair it with a fun statement necklace for a night on the town or keep it simple with some delicate jewelry and nude heels.

I was pleasantly surprised by this unique Tibi dress. On the hanger this dress looks a little overwhelming, but at 5'8" I ended up loving how this tea length style looked on. The detached sleeve is actually a different material than the rest of the dress, adding a fun detail. Running large, we recommend sizing down. The fabric is a nice cotton, and paired with sandals it can be a fun casual sundress. You can also throw on some heels to dress this style up for a night out!

I loved this body hugging Cushnie Et Ochs dress. This fierce high neck dress is the perfect way to show off your curves. Running true to size, we recommend sizing up if you are curvier. The fabric is extremely rich and stretchy, allowing a comfortable fit throughout the entire dress! While this style is good for any cup size, you definitely have to wear a strapless bra. I would have preferred to wear shapewear since the style is very body clinging. At 5'8" this dress falls below the knee. Pair it with black heels for a formal affair or even for date night!

I love this bold twist to a classic lace dress! The colors make this an standout choice, but my favorite part of this dress is the delicate lace overlay. This dress has comfortable room in the bust, and can be worn with a standard bra. The most fitted part of the dress is at the natural waist, and there is comfortable room throughout the waist and hips. At 5'8" this dress hits between mid-thigh and knee length on me, making it the perfect choice for a fun party dress! Pair with a neutral strappy heel.

I was definitely feeling pretty in this soft pastel piece by Erin Fetherston. This dress is scuba material, which is very stretchy and flattering! Running true to size, I recommend sizing up for a fuller bust. The arm holes are a more rigid shape which cuts into the bust area. While this adds a unique feature, we recommend wearing a thin strapless bra or a Nubra to avoid visible straps. The fuller skirt makes this easy to wear and move around in. At 5'8" this dress was knee length. This is a perfect option for a daytime wedding!

This vibrant Amanda Uprichard is the perfect Summer go-to dress for every occasion. Running true to size, we recommend sizing down for backup due to the loose fit. While the fabric is very stretchy, I think this dress would work best for A-C cup. With a larger bust, I found that the seam on the side of the dress was showing across my chest, rather than below. The dress is extremely comfortable and loose throughout the waist and hips. At 5'8" this dress hits between mid-thigh and knee length on me, making it a perfect dress to transition from the office to happy hour. Pair with delicate gold jewelry.

In love with this casual off the shoulder Elizabeth and James dress. Typically Elizabeth and James dresses run small, but this dress runs surprisingly large. There is comfortable room throughout the bust and midsection, therefore I recommend sizing down for backup. With bare shoulders, a strapless bra is a necessity. At 5'8"this dress hits about mid-thigh on me. It is important to notice that the hemline is shorter on the sides, giving it a fun daytime party feel. The eyelet detail is beautiful. Pair with some brown lace up gladiator sandals for an edgy bohemian look!

This fabulous Cynthia Rowley dress is both girly and sleek, making it the perfect choice for your next formal affair. Running true to size, we recommend sizing up for backup for fuller hips. The fabric of this dress has no stretch, but is thick enough to be flattering. The bow adds a beautiful detail, but be mindful that the bodice is very fitted. You cannot tell, but I went braless in order to wear my true size. We recommend wearing a strapless bra with this style, but size up to accommodate a large bust. The natural waist is very fitted and continues to be fitted throughout the midsection and hips. At 5'8" this dress falls nicely below the knee, creating a slimming silhouette. Pair this with strappy nude heels for an elegant look.

I had so much fun wearing this striped dress! Not only is the cotton and linen blend perfect for the summer heat, the detached shoulder look is right on trend! The slightly ruffled sleeve was my favorite part, and I felt unique and confident in this style. This dress is not structured at all, allowing comfortable room throughout the entire dress. Because the dress is not form fitting, we recommend sizing down. I could have sized down two sizes! This style is also perfect for any cup size, and a standard bra can be worn! At 5'8" this dress hit about mid-thigh on me. I want to throw this dress in my suitcase for all of my summer vacations! You can wear the dress anywhere from brunch with friends to your weekend getaways. Pair this dress with some chunky sandals or dress it up with some cute wedges.

I was really excited for this top because the over the shoulders style is very on trend. When I tried the top on, I could not stand the material. This shirt reminded me of a cape that you would wear when you get your hair done at the salon. If the shirt was a different material, I think I would have liked it a lot more.
