Cute, but veeery short. Arms are a little tight, but otherwise comfortable

Nice, but small and for warmer weather
I found the top of dress to be too small. No stretch at all.

Awesome dress
Work appropriate (esp without the heels). I sized up, and the fit was perfect.

Nice, though skirt bigger than expected
Nice dress. Work appropriate and relatively warm. Skirt was a bit flouncy.

Looks better on other people
This dress just didn't look great on me. It was also a bit tight in the shoulders but quite loose everywhere else. The sleeves open to above the elbow.

Perfectly acceptable
This was a nice, conservative work dress nothing spectacular.
Navy Star Neckline Sheath

A little different!
This dress was slightly more interesting than my usual attire--without being too interestingIt was also quite comfortable, as the fabric has some stretchiness. My usual size was a bit baggy in the hips. One size down probably would have looked better.

"OMG, you look like a boss! Where did you get that dress?" --A friend
I'd say this is a power dress. The hem was slightly below the knee, so I wore it with a higher heel. It was flattering and comfortable. I wore it twice.
Navy Day Sheath
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 135lbs

Meh.
This dress looked better on the hanger than on me. I went up one size, and the top of the dress was still tight. Also, something about the shoulders wasn't flattering. I threw a sweater over it and wore it anyway. The skirt was a little shorter than I had expected, but it was office appropriate with flats. The material is thick and warm, but not itchy.
Nude Plaid Front Tie Sheath
Toccin

So much more comfortable than tweed
Comfortable and looks good. A little concerned that the hooks on the front will get caught on something, and long enough to necessitate heels.
Rosmarijn Sheath
Chiara Boni La Petite Robe
Size Worn: 40
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 135lbs
Bust: 34D
Too tight and short for work
Too short and too tight for the conservative office. Maybe a bigger size would have worked.
Bookish Sheath
Trina Turk
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 4"

Surprisingly Stretchy
Stretchy and comfortable--without looking either. Work-appropriate and not too long, though slightly loose in the hips.
Black Scotch Dress

Acceptable
Work appropriate, with some interesting details. Looks better irl than in the picture. Armholes feel too small for comfort.
Ashburn Dress

Fabulous dress, but not for the conservative office
This is a great dress--comfortable and flattering. The neckline is a bit too low and the slit in the skirt a bit too high for my office/credibility. Could be perfect for a night out or date.
