Just Right Shirt Dress
The material on this dress has just enough weight to it so it lays beautifully. I also appreciated the bit of extra support at the buttons/buttonholes. It didn't blow around when waiting on the train platform. This dress also brought the compliments.

Pattern Play Dress
The pattern play is delightful and received many compliments. The fit is flattering especially if you have a bit of a tummy. The fabric is lightweight and silky in feel. It can get a little static going in the winter. Will rent again.

With flair
As others mentioned the neck is bit challenging. There is a zipper that may get caught in a seam making it appear to have too small of an opening for your head. Once you get that top on, there is a funky sleeve that takes a bit of adjustment. However, it's a a fun top. I wore it to the office where I received a few compliments. The back offers a little fun from the usual.

Wasn't expecting it to be cropped
This is a thick and cozy sweater. Had it not skimmed the top of my waistline with longer sleeves, I might have considered purchasing. If you have an average or shorter torso this is a winter dream.

Stylish AND Comfortable
I had planned to wear this for a fall wedding, but when the temps dropped I changed my mind as the sleeves made me look a bit too bulky. The dress is flattering and can easily be dressed up for dinner or make a statement for the office. It runs a bit large as it's a fair bit of fabric to create the drape.

Upscale "tee"
Overall the fit is good. I would caution that the sleeves were a little snug and I consider myself to have average arms. It's also shorter and impossible to tuck in if you have a longer torso. Had it been a bit more forgiving in the sleeves and longer this would be perfect.

Versatile skirt
This skirt fit true to size and offers great flexibility. I wore with a black blouse for work with loafers and then switched it up for later in the evening with a black tee and chucks. It is a heavier material so it might not be the best pick for warmer weather. I appreciated the fabric as it didn't blow up in the wind.

Skirt for work or play
This was a fun skirt for work and equally at home on the weekend with a tee and denim jacket.

Couldn't lift my arms
The color on this dress was a gorgeous royal blue that is great for summer. This was a little snug in the hip area for me. However, what kept me from wearing it was the sleeve design. If you don't need to raise your arms above the shoulder at any point then no problem.

The bias cut made it uncomfortable
This fit well and revived several compliments. The bias cut left me trying to "straighten" the dress all day which was quite distracting.

Quite long
I ordered up a size to ensure I had a relaxed, almost slouchy fit. Very comfy and cool. However, the pants run quite long - didn't measure but would say close to a 34" inseam.

Cute for brunch
Overall, fit was accurate and comfortable. If you live in a hot, humid area the fabric does not breath with you. It made for a warm and sticky afternoon. I was hoping to wear to work but found the neckline to be too deep for the office.

Easy work solution
This is a wrap style dress with a button closure on the inside before it folds over to create the "wrap look." It doesn't wrap far enough in either direction to provide good coverage when doing anything beyond standing. Sitting can be difficult because it falls open. You need to hold it close when walking so a breeze doesn't leave you exposed. It also has a fairly deep v neck, which might not be good for the more blessed.

More than a black dress
I received several compliments on this dress. However, I found it hit my hips at a funny spot that wasn't always the most flattering with pleats.
