Unique, Eclectic AND Flattering
I loved this dress. It was breezy, flowy and still structured and form-flattering. I wore this dress to an afternoon/evening outdoor magazine launch for work and it transitioned so easily from day to night. The fabric is light and moves well but feels quality and is not cheap. Be prepared to receive a lot of compliments and questions about the designer and the cut/style.

Cool concept, weird construction
I was really excited about this dress, but I didn't end up wearing it because the drop waist looked so silly on my body. I really liked the eccentric side panel patterns, and I'd love to see this style in a different construction.

Professional and Glamorous
LOVED the fit of this dress- but I would definitely recommend going UP one size. I usually wear a 0-2, but the 4 was snug on me. This is a great work-to-night out dress that is long enough to be appropriate, but not dowdy. I would not recommend this for gals on the petite side just because it does run long.

Breezy summer day dress
This is a terrific day dress for the summer. As a pear shaped gal, this dress was flattering with a tailored top and a loose skirt. The fabric is light but quality and the dress is constructed perfectly. This dress wouldn't work for women who have larger busts.

Professional and sophisticated; great for work-to-drinks out
As a gal with a pear shape, sheath dresses don't usually work. However, this dress was incredibly slimming and sleek. I loved wearing it! The dress runs very small. I'm usually a 0/2 but the 4 was almost too tight to get over my hips. This dress is long and wouldn't work for petite gals (I'm 5'8" and it was almost too long for me). Overall, super dress.

I'm a professional photographer and wore this for several casual chic photoshoots.
The fabric is quality, the pattern is beautiful, the cut is appropriate. I loved this romper. The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is because I wish I didn't have to order a size up to accommodate the length of the shorts. I wore a size 4 for modesty instead of my usual 2. The shorts were long enough in the 4, but the overall fit was sacrificed- not to say I didn't wear it and enjoy wearing it!

This jumpsuit is professional, dressy and casual all at once. Its versatility is incredible!
I loved this jumpsuit. I wore it by itself with a chunky necklace and pumps for an evening work event; I wore it with a leather jacket and smoking slippers for a night out with friends; I wore it to a city wedding. I have a long torso and jumpsuits sometimes fit oddly on me, but this felt like it was tailored just right. I've never felt so chic and sexy and professional all at once! I would buy this in a heartbeat.

I didn't choose to wear this.
This dress feels quality and feels flattering with the heaviness of the fabric, but the skirt poofs out awkwardly at the hips and made my pear shape look even more pear shape. It also looks like it could be summery- it's not. It's definitely a fall/winter dress.

I wore this to several daytime networking events and this dress was effortlessly chic at each.
This dress shows off your waist and was totally flattering for my pear shape. It's a lightweight but quality fabric and lays in all the right ways. Perfect for a shower, brunch, baptism or even work.
