I loved the pattern and the thick fabric
My husband said I looked like a quilt, but luckily I ignored him and wore to a work function and got lots of compliments about being "so fashionable" - who knew! If it wasn't so much I'd buy it.

Pretty dress
Worked well early in my 2nd trimester. Pretty "baby blue" color for a baby announcement. Length was perfect for me at 5'8" to wear with flats.

Fun
It felt very expensive, comes with a cute tank underneath

Flattering fit
Great fit, but did stretch out a lot throughout the day (I was caught in a downpour though). I think a smaller size might have been better since it was loose and unflattering but the end of my crazy day.

Fit like a bag
I was excited to receive this dress, but it didn't live up to my expectations by FAR. It fit very large and despite tying at the waist was still very boxy and unflattering. Perhaps this would be better on someone curvier, but I didn't even wear this to work because of the fit.

Navy Garden Fence Dress
O2nd
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 145lbs
Bust: 36B
Very tight in the bust (size up at least 1 size!), but beautiful fabric and pretty neckline!
I usually wear a 4 and sized up to a 6. Still, the bust was VERY tight and impossible to zip myself. Despite being literally stuffed into the top of the dress, it was very comfortable. The fabric is stretchy and sheer and very glam. Definitely size up 1 size (or more) if you are a c-cup or larger. I was surprised about the tight fit because I'm not that busty.

Foil Pleated Gown
Laundry by Shelli Segal
Size Worn: 6R
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 145lbs
Bust: 36B
Pretty lace, but frumpy fit
The lace was beautiful and it fit well, but the cut made the dress baggy around your waist and taper in more at the height/bottom. That was a bit odd. The sleeves also seemed unflattering... the lace was beautiful, but there was so much fabric it looked almost as if I had shoulder pads on. Not my favorite...
Black Lace Mix Dress

Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 132lbs
Bust: 34C
Pretty and delicate detailing, but slightly frumpy
I loved the color and detail, although the skirt was more fabric than I would have preferred and added bulk to my hips. It worked well for a work function and I got lots of compliments. The top fit perfectly, and it was very comfortable too!
Blue Jordan Dress
Slate & Willow
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 135lbs
Bust: 34C
Pretty lines, unflattering arms
The shape and line was pretty, but the cut just accentuated my underarm... not something you want to show off! It's too bad because just slightly more coverage on my arm/chest would have been very flattering. I do have wider shoulders though.

Great fit
Loved the shoulders. Great fit. Fabric didn't wrinkle very much after my flight/suitcase. Easy to dress up or down. I may need to rent this dress again!
