Beautiful color
Great summer work dress. Material is nice and light and it fit like a glove.

Adorable yet Professional
Loved this blazer. Fit like a dream and the sleeves made me feel really pretty and feminine even in my work clothes. It was exactly true to size in my opinion. Looked great with both dresses and pants. Wish I could purchase but it's a bit pricy.

Feminine but Professional
This dress made me feel so ladylike and pretty while still being professional. The fit was completely true to size and it looked great on. The fabric was high quality, thick with some stretch. The shape is a little different from a classic fit and flare with the flounce at the bottom -- hugs the booty a little more. I felt lovely in this!

Should Have Sized Up
The print is darling, but the fabric is significantly thinner than I expected. The chest area, which is unlined, is see-through. I wouldn't typically wear a bra with a dress like this, but you could see everything without one. It also fit very tightly in the chest and bust area. There is lining in the lower half but it's so much shorter than the dress itself that I felt like I had to keep pulling it down so no one could see my underwear through the thin material. Disappointed.

Beautiful But Boxy
The design on the back is absolutely gorgeous. This is a really special spin on an everyday jean jacket. However, it does fit a bit boxy so it doesn't go well with some outfits.

Pretty Pattern and Buttons
I love the color of this -- I think it works really well for those of us who are super pale. The pattern is also really pretty. The buttons are sweet and old-fashioned, but I did find it came unbuttoned easily. I'm usually a 2 but this was a bit roomy. I probably could have sized down. However, it definitely worked for the office. I styled it with black paper bag waisted pants and felt like an art gallery curator.

Bold but professional dress
This dress is a beautiful color and the pattern is really modern. The fit with the drop waist is unusual for a work dress but it's still conservative enough with the coverage to be doable for a professional workplace. It's just a bit shorter than I'd usually wear for the office on my 5'6" frame. I also wouldn't recommend this for anyone who wants to hide their stomach because it is more fitted in that area because of the dropped waist. For me, it was a refreshing, subtly sexy work piece.

Professional but make it fashion
This dress strikes the perfect balance between fashion forward and conservative/professional. It has really cute touches like the sleeves and the flounce that make it feel youthful, while not overly girly. Fit completely true to size, to the point that I probably should have gone with my normal size which is 2, but the slightly less form-fitting fit was good for work.

Cute but fit slightly off for me
This is a cute shape and material. It's a little heavier than I anticipated though. I think it would be better in the winter with tights, because it was also slightly short for my professional office. It was also just a bit tight in the bust. With the right fit though, it would be a great, professional yet youthful option for an office setting.

Buttons gap
This is a cute print and style but the material isn't particularly nice. Also, it gapped in the bust to the point that I couldn't wear it even though I sized up. I'm fine with a deep plunge, but this just looked like it didn't fit at all. Disappointing.

Beautiful and romantic
This is a gorgeous shirt. The daisy print is much more vibrant in person. The fit is very dramatic. I felt like a cottage core princess. It was like a true medieval peasant blouse, because it almost has a corset like effect. However, it was very close to not fitting in the bust area. I'm a 32d/dd (depending on the time of month) and I had to work to get it to fit correctly in that area. A bra definitely would not be an option. Also, it's a bit difficult to get on even with the zipper.
