Spring Blouse!
Very pretty spring blouse, which I wore to 4 different events around Easter time. I received multiple compliments on it. It is easy and comfortable, and can be worn with jeans or dressed up.

Nice jacket but very glittery!
I did not end up wearing this. I bought for everyday (unlimited account) and for some reason I thought it was appliqued, not sequined. On the plus side, it is a great shape and high quality; it runs true to size. On the minus side, I felt a bit like a female Elvis in the sequins. Could be cute over a party dress.

Cute and comfortable for a casual party
I liked but not loved this. The silk was lovely and the back had a nice cut. This color would probably look good on someone with darker skin as it washed my fair skin out a bit. I sized down to the equivalent of a 4, and it fit well. Otherwise it could look tent like, but it depends on taste.

Lovely Back
This has a lovely flow, especially the back. I would say it is true to size. I sized down (unlimited) to a 4 because I don't like things too flowy through the middle. As a tesult it was a tad tight across the chest, but in truth I am between a size 4 and 6.

Lovely print and cut
This was a perfect fit and just flowed beautifully. The material was silkier than I imagined, and this could be worn dressed up or down. I am tall and in flats this was touching the ground, so shorter gals might expect to wear heels. Unlike in the photo, the slit is actually right up the middle. That wasn't a big issue but any higher and it would have been inappropriate! The only down side to this dress is that the material wrinkles a bit at the bottom.

Strange fit for me....
This was a pretty jumpsuit with high quality material. Overall all the fit was large, and I did not end up wearing it (unlimited account). Specifically, it was very large in the middle. I am a solid size 6, tall, with an hour glass figure. I imagine that the 4 would have fit the waist and torso, but could have been too tight in the chest (I'm a 34-36 C so sizeable but not huge). It was just totally weird on me. This might look good on someone with a straight, boyish figure, and in that case I would definitely recommend sizing down as a back up.

Didn't wear it
I did not end up wearing the dress, but mainly because I didn't have the proper event. It was a little too casual for everyday, and the material is not light (for summer outdoors), though it may have worked in the office with a jacket. In general, it is a flattering cut that is fitted but skims the body. A seem runs near but below the waste which was a little bit odd.

Lovely well made skirt. Looks very big though is designed to sit below waist and be loose I think. For a pleated skirt it does not add too much bulk. Pretty material.

Lovely color, large fit
I ordered this through my unlimited account as another back-up dress for my step-daughter for her prom. She wore another dress. The dress ran large (the size 4 was even too big for me through the waist, and I am normally a size 6). It was also very long (we are both 5'9 - 5'10"). The color was a nice pop - probably for someone with darker skin.

Didn't wear
Hard to describe. The style was sort of casual (dropped waist, straight through hips), while the material was a heavy crepe and not good for everyday. The whole thing just didn't work for me especially considering it is a very pricey item (to buy). I normally wear a 6 and chose a 4 after reading other reviews. It pretty much fit (I am tall and it was long enough; just a tag snug at widest part of hips, but I am hour glass.) The 6 would have gapped in the waist. I would recommend this as a formal option for someone with a very specific body type (wide shoulders, narrow hips)

Work
I had no special event, I just liked the dress. I wore it to work with a camo underneath. The fit was great. I am relatively tall and fit and this made me look very tall and very slim.
