Meh
This dress just kind of hung, and the colors were more muted than I was expecting.

Beautiful, Weird Fit
I wanted to love this dress, and it was *almost* awesome, but one side of the top gaped open in a way that I couldn't figure out how to fix with any combination of fashion tape or safety pins. The colors are gorgeous, though, and the fabric feels really great on.

Size Up!
This dress looked stunning in person but (a) it ran extremely small in the chest, I think I would have needed to go up two sizes for it to fit and (b) the bottom hem was raw, like a bridesmaid dress that is made to be hemmed after ordering.

SO short!
I wanted to wear this dress to work, but it was so short I couldn't pull it off, even with tights.

not for me
This dress might be lovely on someone tall and willowy, but on me it hung like a nightdress. Note that the buttons are decorative/don't open, which added to the dowdy effect.

Great Dress
This dress was really flattering and great for a work conference. I wore it with a full black slip, which was definitely necessary.

the girls were out
This crossover top was pretty revealing for my (big but not huge) chest -- required some engineering.

Wow this was short
I thought because I am 5'5" and was ordering a large, it would be okay. No. It was laughing-out-loud-in-my-closet short. If you are super proud of your legs, this is a lovely dress and you can rake in the compliments. Please rent this dress because it is so theoretically cute and I want it to find its person. But if you have knees that would rather not be the center of attention (like literal center, because they are in the middle of the amount of leg that is south of this hemline) scroll on.

Professional and polished
I wore this dress for a fall family photo session -- it did a great job of defining my figure without being clingy. Would rent again for work.

Cute but boxy
I really liked this dress, though the fit was a bit droopy. My 12 year old vetoed it as unflattering.
