LOVE this, can't wait to wear it.
RL is always good for my big shouldered hourglass figure, and this dress is no exception. The fabris is sturdy and forgiving yet body hugging and flattering. I am 61, so it had to be understated and not too sexy as wel; works so far. I will try it at work next week and see how it holds up during the day for comfort. But so far this one looks like a winner, and might be a purchase! Going to try it with black tights, low heels.

Lovely fabric, good quality; fit is slightly off for the hourglass people (baggy waist, tight hips)
I so wanted to adore this. I have MMLaFleur in my own closet and thought it might be a winner. The hip is tight but the midsection is baggy (hourglass curse). I guess if I owned it I could have it taken in, but... I will probably wear it once on a day when I won't have to be presenting in meetings, just sitting there. Sigh.

ADORABLE!!! (and not silly)
I love love love this little flippy skirt! The fabric is study and substantial, a quality feeling. The pattern is subdued yet very cute; makes it good for work as it has personality without being silly. I wore it with a black fitted turtleneck, black tights, black flats, and it was GREAT.

Really nice dress; not good for my super fair skin tone
This is a great dress, fits well, flattering for the hourglass (and I would also think for other shapes) yet not toooo sexy. A bit flashy in its fabric for quiet me, but not over the top. The problem I had was that my extremely fair skin tones looked washed out and pasty. Darker skin would be beautiful in this dress.

Warm, comfy, stylish, casual
This is a very forgiving and flexible piece that is warm and casual; goes well with jeans, pants, or skirts. Covers figure flaws well and emphasizes shoulders nicely. Looks especially good with boots.

Lovely conservative dress
This is a lovely wellcut dress in good silky fabric with nice buttons. Figure flattering and forgiving of extra hip baggage. Serious enough for a funeral but also ok for work; but not stuffy or fussy looking. Perfect if you want to look serious but unobtrusive.

Impossibly small and skinny arms (my arms are not small). Nice fabric and pattern but impossible.
Impossibly small and skinny arms (my arms are not small). Nice fabric and pattern but impossible to get this on to try it. Good subtle colors in the fabric. Seems as if it would be durable. But you would have to be shaped like a cartoon character to wear this.
