Coziest sweater ever
I love this sweater. It's incredibly soft (not scratchy!) and very warm.
Wide Collar Cardigan
VINCE.

Way too long if you're short!
If I actually owned this dress, I'd have it hemmed about six inches to have it hit at the knee. Instead, it hits me mid calf and looks kind of ridiculous. Other than the length, though, it's super comfortable (stretchy fabric) and flattering (material is thick and forgiving).

Pretty color
Definitely runs large. I wore a 2 (my normal size) and wore it with a belt to keep it from looking completely shapeless. The slit in the front is also bigger than in the pic, but the color is great.

Love this dress!
This dress is super comfortable. The fabric is stretchy and flattering and has a fun texture to it.

Great color!
The color on this is great, although it's a bit long (especially if you're short) and a bit loose (I am an XS-S and went with the small on this - definitely should have gone with XS).

Love the hem on this dress!
Lightweight fabric makes it a good dress for warm weather. The fabric does wrinkle a bit, and you should definitely put makeup on after you put it on as it pulls over the head.

Cute, but sleeves are tight
The dress fits true to size, except for in the sleeves, which, unless you have pretty tiny arms, are extremely tight. It doesn't help that the sleeves have no stretch to them. The rest of the dress is great though -- it's a fun take on the classic sheath dress with the contrasting blue/green and fishnet overlay.

Cute and flattering
I like this dress a lot -- it's silk so it's very light and it did pretty well with not wrinkling. Getting it on and off required a little bit of work (you have to pull it over your head), but totally worth it.

So comfortable!
I love this dress. It's super cozy and warm. It runs a little large -- I'm not that tiny and the XS was pretty loose on me.

Love this dress!
This dress is great. The fabric has structure to it (and some stretch), so the dress is very forgiving. Only thing is that it runs quite small -- I'm usually a size 2 and the 38/2 wouldn't zip more than halfway. I went one size up and it fit perfectly.

Comfortable, but not the most flattering
This dress is actually made of a sweatshirt-like material, so it's thick and doesn't drape well. It also runs huge. I wore the 6 (British sizing, and the smallest size it was offered in, and an equivalent to a US 2) and I was basically swimming in it. On the plus side, it's quite comfortable and warm.

Great LBD
I wore this dress to work and, for the most part, loved it. It was comfortable and flattering. My only issues were 1. It was a little too long for me (I'm short -- it'd be perfect for someone even a few inches taller) so it hit at a weird spot mid-knee, and 2. The lining kept riding up (not sure if that was partly due to the tights I was wearing with it).

Gorgeous dress!
The detailing and lace cutouts on this dress make it stunning. The fabric is pretty think so I wouldn't recommend it in warmer weather. I had some trouble zipping it up (it fit perfectly but I think the thickness of the fabric makes it hard to zip up) so be prepared to ask for assistance!

Super comfortable!
I wore this dress all day while working a 13-hour day -- and it was still comfortable at the end. The fabric is pretty thick, so I wouldn't wear it in warmer weather, but it was perfect with tights in fall weather.

Gorgeous dress!
This dress is actually two pieces: a white slip and the lace/mesh dress. The intricate detailing on the dress is gorgeous. Also, because it's not meant to be extremely fitted, it was surprisingly comfortable.

Cute dress!
I love the colors of this dress -- I think it's actually brighter in person that it looks in photos, and a fun everyday dress. However, the fabric has no stretch, so unless it fits you perfectly, it's probably going to get uncomfortable if you wear it all day (like I did). Lots of dresses fit me on top but are loose around the hips. This dress was actually a bit tight on top (which is why I think it runs small -- I've worn other Trina Turk dresses in the same size and didn't find them tight), but definitely loose in the hips.

Gorgeous print!
I love this dress, just not on me. It was very fitted throughout the waist and hips, but loose in the top on me -- which is the opposite of how dresses usually fit on me. It was also lower cut on me than I expected (as in I couldn't wear a standard bra with it because the middle part showed). On the right person this dress would be stunning though.

Fun dress!
This is a fun dress. The green in the dress is a lot more green in person -- kind of a forest green. It does run a bit small (I've rented one other dress by Raoul and found it ran small as well) -- I'm usually a size 2, but the 4 here fit perfectly.

Perfect work dress!
I love this dress! It's just fitted enough throughout the top and midsection to be flattering, and super comfortable. The flouncy layer did wrinkle a bit from sitting throughout the day, but that was the only negative I found.

Super comfortable!
I love the material on this dress -- it's soft and comfortable. I think the dress runs a bit large though -- I'm usually a small (which I rented) and while I wasn't swimming in it, it was definitely a bit loose and not fitted the way I had anticipated.

Love the color and detail of the lace!
I (mostly) like the way this dress fits -- I found the cut very flattering. It was fitted throughout the waist and bottom without being restrictive. On top, however, the sleeves have zero stretch. I don't have tiny arms/shoulders and while I didn't have any issues getting the dress on, I found that lifting my arms was nearly impossible.

Super cute!
I like this dress a lot, although the fabric was heavier than I was expecting. The white parts also weren't that white on the dress I got -- more of an off white. I ordered this in a size 4 because the 2 was unavailable -- either I was actually sent a 2 (for some reason the tag with the size is missing, so I can't verify) or this dress runs very small because the (supposed) size 4 fit perfectly on me throughout the waist, whereas I often find that size 2 dresses are loose around the waist/hips on me.

Simple and easy to wear!
I liked this dress a lot, although, like many dresses on me, it fit perfectly in the chest and shoulders, but was loose throughout the midsection and hips. The fabric is a heavier jersey-like fabric and falls nicely. A great everyday dress.

I LOVE this dress!
This dress is simple but striking. I was expecting a heavy fabric, but it's actually very light and thin, and very stretchy. Be warned: there is no zipper. The original tags were still on the dress when I got it, and said to step into the dress and pull it up (which I was able to do, although it was a tight squeeze over the hips). The dress is very form fitting, and if you're short like me, will hit below the knee.

Great color!
The fabric is actually a neoprene-like fabric -- it's fairly stretchy and quite warm and great for winter. I think it's meant to be form fitting, but while it fit like a glove in the top (and looked great there), throughout the waist and hips, it was huge on me. In general, dresses tend to me somewhat loose around this hips on me, but this dress was much looser than other dresses.

Great dress for a conservative workplace!
I have muscular shoulders/arms, so the dress was fitted up top, but looser than I'd expected in the midsection/hips (I get that it's not supposed to be fitted, but it was still pretty loose). Unless you have thin arms, the sleeves won't billow out like they do on the model. My only complaint is that I found the fabric incredibly itchy -- I was dying to take it off by the end of the day.
