Wintry dress
Wore to work but could easily wear to cocktails or a wedding. Sized down due to other reviews which wAs absolutely the right move. Fitted but not tight, and work appropriate length for a tall woman like myself. Boat neck requires a strapless bra. A little easily wrinkled.

Height: 5' 8"

Frumpy
Definitely a high quality dress and loved the velvet accents, but ended up looking very frumpy on my body type because the cinched waist hit too low, and almost costumey with the red dots and lace.

Short on a 5'8" gal
True to size (a tad loose), colors are beautiful and quality / cut are great. However, incredibly short on me. Wouldn't recommend to anyone above 5'8" for work

Lovely dress
Very cute, appropriate length for a tall woman (to knees on me, 5'8"). Great for every day or even something more formal.

Perfect work dress
Felt fitted without being too tight (I sized up one size), was long enough, and looked very high quality. Got multiple compliments, have rented multiple times.

Costume-y
Quality fabric, a little see through so needs a tank top underneath, but mostly I didn't love it because the detail on the sleeves ended up looking too costume-y to me. I tucked them into the shirt sleeves and t was fine.
White Lace Inset Top

Simple with some flair
As some have mentioned, the fake suspenders aspect of the dress is a tad odd, but it fit well otherwise and was perfect for work.
Navy Savanna Dress

Height: 5' 8"

Bright, simple, high quality
Didn't end up wearing as I went with a more formal dress for my occasion, but it was a nice simple choice and fit well. Hit my knees (I'm 5'8'') and was a little revealing but luckily I am 36A so not too much on me. Bright color would be great for a spring/summer wedding.
