Versatile Summer Dress
I wore this to the office and then for dinner. Works well in hot weather and could easily be dressed up or down depending on footwear. Works well for someone with curves as it is cut well to flatter a smaller waist without feeling constricting. Sincerely thought about buying it!

Short Sleeve Striped Collared Midi Dress
Lauren Ralph Lauren
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 32DD
Tight in the rib cage
This dress is sparkly and looks awesome in person, but size up if you have any bust at all!!! I have a fairly small rib cage (32 band) and it was uncomfortably tight when I lifted my arms so I did not wear it.

Lustre Midi Dress

Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 130lbs
Bust: 32DD
Weird Zipper
This dress was lovely, with the exception of the awkward zipper on the hip. It looked very strange since I'd sized up for a less fitted look and it didn't flow with the material, so I didn't end up wearing it.

Portia Dress
Fame & Partners
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 130lbs
Bust: 32DD
Runs Long, Very Low Cut
I liked this dress enough to wear it a few times, but it was a bit of a hassle to make it work on my shape. I had to wear platforms to keep it from dragging on the ground. I also safety pinned the front and wore bike shorts underneath to avoid any unfortunate wardrobe malfunctions; it tended to flap open both along the chest and in the leg area where it wraps. That all being said, it's a nice piece and could be worn in any season if styled correctly!

Comfortable, Flattering, Easy
I was concerned that this dress might look like a sack on me, as I have a defined waist and usually don't fare well with babydoll/empire styles, but it has seaming that's quite flattering and is insanely comfortable to boot! The ties make it easy to adjust, the pockets are great, and I was able to wear it with a normal strapless bra. It's a great transitional or summer staple.

Strappy Tank Dress
VINCE.
Size Worn: SR
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 32DD
Cozy + Oversized
I sized up and definitely should not have, but it worked due to the oversized style. Felt sort of like wearing my comfiest bathrobe outside, but socially acceptable!

Colorblock Romare Cardigan
DREYDEN
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 130lbs
Bust: 32DD
Huge in the waist!
I sized up, wanting a more relaxed fit. They were ridiculously baggy even with a belt, so I'll try again in my regular size (even one down wouldn't be silly).

Estella Jeans
Citizens of Humanity
Size Worn: 27
Usual Size: 4

SO much fun for dancing.
I found this dress to fit true to size and to be flattering, yet forgiving -- in case you want to treat yo'self and have that extra slice of cake. It could easily be dressed down with the right accessories for a warm weather daytime look, but felt right at home at a formal wedding. This was one of the most fun dresses I've ever worn because the pleats move extremely well on the dance floor; it was perfect for dancing until early in the morning!

Cozy, but nothing magical
This is a good basic fall sweater. Nothing to write home about, but fits well (a bit oversized) and contains a nice mix of colors.

Strange Fit in the Bust
I sent this back without wearing it; it was somehow tight around the rib cage while still managing to gap in front no matter how much I tightened the straps, which is something I've never experienced before. The fabric is nice and the print is pretty in person, but it didn't work on me.

Insanely Flattering if You Have a Small Waist
I didn't end up wearing this for the black tie wedding I had it in mind for as I liked another choice a bit better for the venue/formality, but it fit me perfectly and is one of the most flattering dresses I've ever tried on. I would rent it again in a heartbeat for the right occasion. The boyfriend even attempted to convince me to buy it "just to wear around the house!"
