Stood out at black tie optional work event
I wore this to a black tie optional work dinner. It was a bit loose around the top - I chose to wear it with no bra but needed to make sure I had good posture (shoulders back)! I loved that it had pockets and it was also very comfortable. I got lots of compliments!

So what if I matched the bridesmaids?
This dress was fantastic. I wore it for my cousin's January wedding in Ohio. I should have known the bridesmaids' dresses would be scarlet (Go Bucks!), but I didn't think of it when I ordered the dress. Regardless, it was a great dress. I was 4.5 months pregnant when I wore it and it was incredibly comfortable. It was too low cut (in both the front and back) for me to wear a bra, but it fit well enough that I didn't really need one. I got lots of compliments on it.

Fun fact: You can wear this backwards too!
Let's just say I was halfway through my anniversary date with my husband when I realized that the way I was wearing the dress didn't match the photo online. But, it still looked pretty darn good backwards AND showed more décolletage. It's undeniably a tight dress. I could have worn the medium but was more comfortable (and still looked nice) in the large. The fabric is indeed on the thicker side. The sleeves were a little tight around my shoulders too. I paired it with a pair of nude heels.

Comfortable, flirty dress with pockets - what's not to like?
I rented this dress for a wedding rehearsal / rehearsal dinner. It was very comfortable (albeit a bit short for an Orthodox Church). I got lots of compliments on it and I really liked that it had pockets for tissues, hand sanitizer, my phone, etc. I paired it with black sandals and a long silver necklace. The fabric initially reminded me of a 1970's couch, but it grew on me the longer I wore it.

I wore the size 10, though the 8 fit as well (it was just a little snugger). I'm 5'9" and this dress came down to my knees. I paired it with cream colored heels. It was a comfortable dress, perfect for a summer wedding, and easy to dance in. It was polyester, but not itchy at all. It was fun to wear for a day.

Turned heads in this one
I wore this to my brother's rehearsal dinner and got lots of compliments. It fit well, though it was a little shorter than I expected and I was initially concerned that it bunched funny in the front. I rented it because of the review that said it was good for girls with hips, but I'm not sure it worked so well with my hips/rear in particular. The back clasp does tend to come apart sometimes, but two people kept an eye out for me. Anyway, it was a great dress with a fun pattern and fabric. I really liked the shoulders on this dress too.
