Casual Everyday LBD
I really wanted to love this drop waist everyday LBD. However, the overall fit was just a little large.

Great quality comfy bomber leather jacket. This leather jacket is so easy to move in and not stiff at all! It can be layered with really any outfit from jeans to dresses with an ideal fall brown coloring.

Great winter black tie option
I ended up going with another option. However, definitely keeping this one in my back pocket for another winter black tie event! I sized down here for a more polished fit and it was perfect.

Fun piece!
I almost bought! I usually size up in rompers and jumpsuits. However this runs very large and sized down to the 0 after first ordering the 2. I wore this for a winter rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks and received so many compliments on this fun and flirty leather romper. Note, it is extremely warm (other than in the bare legs).

Fun bright print mini!
I wore this to a “welcome drinks” for a summer wedding weekend. It was super fun and flirty with a fit and flare fit. I liked it even more due to the fact that no bra was needed even with a larger bust.

Fun event black mini dress!
I wore this on vacation and got so many compliments. I loved the statement puff long sleeves and subtle silver studded details. It would be ideal for any country event paired with any color cowgirl boots. I first ordered the 36 and ordered the 34 for a more secure bust fit (no bra needed) and true mini length.

I loved this simple twist on basic Jean shorts with the silver buttons fly. These were a go-to staple for my summer weekends on both east and west coasts. I usually size up with Jean shorts for a comfier fit, however, these were already roomy in my normal size.

Staple for late summer & fall!
I tried this on right away out of the shower (not a put together look here), but I will be nonstop pairing it with all styles & shades of denim from shorts to relaxed jeans, ecru to dark navy, and everything in between. I was super surprised and elated that the XS was a perfect fit, despite the usual button-down scenarios (when ordered in my normal/suggested size) causing a no-go due to a larger bust area. There is no pulling what so over, and the fit is great with just a wee lil’ oversized puff to the sleeve, which I’m always a sucker for! Also, I was pleased by the length; it is cropped a bit, but without any midriff… it just perfectly sits untucked to show a silver or gold button or possibly a styled belt! I can’t wait to pair with darker denim, chunky clogs, and a light layer come start of fall, but in the meantime it will be styled with jean shorts or some ecru flares with sandals on any given day!

Perfect lil’ beach swing dress!
I absolutely adored the print & vibrant colors of this shift dress! It’s every shell hunter’s dream dress for a summer beach weekend. I wore it to an early HH paired with tan flat sandals and a rattan bucket bag, and received countless compliments. It could easily be dressed up with statement jewelry and heels or worn casually like I did here. It’s also a great option for larger chested ladies, and last thing to note is that it’s on the longer side for a mini!

So fun! Runs large
I tend to avoid Lily after my childhood. However, this dress has such a fun yet subtle 70s vibe and is incredibly flattering. It was an option for a disco chic themed reception, but I am wearing it to a welcome drinks boat venue instead. Also, the sneaky built in shorts are a party dancer’s dream! Note that I was surprised that this definitely runs large; I am a true 2 to 4 dress size and tend to size up in all rompers. However, I should have definitely done the 0 here.

Great quality dress / silhouette odd for petite frame.
Great light weight quality dress! However, this silhouette is not the most flattering on a petite frame, not sure where the skirt hem line should hit/lay below or above hip/bottom. I ended up just trying it on and not wearing it for any my spring/summer events it was intended for.

Great Staple Piece for a Wardrobe
I wore this countless of times simply paired with jeans for a casual get together or work trousers for the office. Photo here is paired with high wasted fun print flowy shorts for my mom’s & twin’s 60th birthday bash on the eastern shore! Note that I probably could have gone one size down, however I tend to like a looser / more conservative fit when it comes to tops due to bust size.

ADORE THIS DRESS
I’ve rented this countless of times after it was a proven “go-to” during east coast summer months. It can be dressed up with jewelry and heels or worn more casually with damp ocean hair, flip flops or sneakers, and no jewlery (like this one photo). Photo is from a dinner on vacation. Fit is to size.

Adorable maxi spin on a “LBD”
I wore this to a baby shower in January paired with tall tan suede boots (not pictured here; this photo is from a quick try on) and received so many compliments. I was surprised that the size 0 fit perfectly (normally I wear a size 2 - 4 with a larger bust). So, potentially size down.

In AWE over this dress!
I wore this to a fancy garden golden birthday party for my best friend, and I received endless compliments! I ordered both a size 2 and 4, and the 2 fit perfectly like a glove. So much so that I didn’t even worry about a bra or breast tape, which is extremely rare considering my larger sized chest and petite frame. The quality cannot be beat. Also the coloring is FIRE (even though I tend to be drawn towards neutrals to blues/lavenders; these highlighter tones over the neutral linen was so beautiful and unique).

Amazing!
I wore this to a black tie event for my husband’s work, and I absolutely loved it. It was perfectly elegant for larger chested women given the high neckline with a little sex appeal due to the low cowl back. The only thing to note is that I did use clothing tape to ensure the back didn’t reveal my under garments etc. If I order again, I’d order one size smaller (I went with the M over an XS-S due to availability).

I wore these to a summer day get together. Surprisingly, I got compliments from younger generation. However the fit was definitely old school, and I didn’t love the pleating throughout.

Ok
The top half of the dress hit lower to the hips being 5’3” than anticipated. Also adjusting the straps to tighten looked odd. Definitely meant to be a shift dress that appears a little fitted & for this reason I wish I had ordered the 2. Size down and not up.

I rented this for an annual summer party, and I recieved so many compliments!
The XS was my backup (because I normally size up when it comes to rompers and jumpsuits). So glad for the two sizes because the XS fit perfectly with plenty of room to dance! I didn't even try on the small.
