STYLIST REVIEW
This peach number is stylish, comfortable and is very flattering. I love shift dresses as it covers all areas of my body but is still edgy. I would recommend sizing up for back up size. This can be worn with a regular standard bra.

STYLIST REVIEW
I love the dress! Oh so classy! My favorite part of this dress is the off the shoulder sleeves, it can be worn on or off the shoulder, whatever your preference. It hugs your hips but does have a lot of stretch which allows it to be very comfortable. I would pair with stylish strappy heels. I would recommend sizing up for back up size. strapless bra or no bra would be best.

STYLIST REVIEW
Great for a jog in the park! The top is very hard to pull over your head as the neck area is a bit small. Once on, it is very roomy and great for lounging. It does run a bit large. I definitely recommend this top!

This blazer is comfortable though runs large. The sleeves are a bit long on me and I would recommend sizing down. A size XS would have been a better fit for me. Great to throw over any casual outfit to elevate the look.

STYLIST REVIEW
This sporty look is uber comfortable and great for running errands or a quick jog in Central Park. The top runs large and the pants runs large as well. I am wearing an XS small in both pieces. The pants has a neoprene feel and is very smooth but fabric is thick. It has very deep pockets and is a bit long as I am only 5'3. The top is very fitted and has no stretch.

This dress is a body snatcher, great if you love showing off your curves. I love the detailing at the top and hem of this style. It has a lot of stretch and can be worn with a standard bra for any cup size. The dress is fitted through out mid section and I would recommend sizing up for back up size.

STYLIST REVIEW
Very sleek comfortable style. This needs to be worn with a strapless bra or no bra. It fits true to size and has a lot of stretch and a lot of room for my curly divas. The split on the side helps for a more sassy look. Pair this with a pair of heels for a laid back summer wedding or flats for a night on the boardwalk.

Super Chic! Extremely comfortable with room for just about any cup size. Easily worn for picnic, shopping with the girls or a Caribbean vacation. The dress runs large in the bust area so I would recommend sizing down for this number. Love the print!

This little number is sporty chic and uber comfortable. It has pockets and mesh side panels. The material is very thick so I would recommend for cooler months. This style runs extremely large as I am usually size Small/medium and I am wearing an XS. Great for a fall stroll!

The elastic around the neckline and arms are a bit uncomfortable. Otherwise this romper is cute and fun! The fit is great, there is also elastic at the waist band. The fit is a bit large as I am usually size Medium.

Great for Spring! The dress runs small so I suggest sizing up. The arm band lends a very edgy and stylish look, it is very unique. A standard bra can be worn with this dress as it fits any cup size.The dress hits right above the knee wile the sash hangs a bit lower.

I am not a fan of open front dresses, but this dress is beautiful and extremely elegant which turned me into a fan!. It is the perfect length as I am 5'3 and wearing 6 inch heels. Fashion tape and pasties are recommended. This dress runs true to size with size up for back up. Great for A and B bust sizes.

STYLIST REVIEW
It is perfect for a Summer lunch! Running true to size I would recommend sizing up for back-up it is very roomy and comes with a tie around belt to elevate the look. The romper tends to ride up a bit when you walk so I would suggest wearing little spanx underneath. Best for A-C cup sizes and can be worn with a standard bra. It is very fitted at waist and at the hem of shorts.

STYLIST REVIEW
Perfect for Summer days and Caribbean vacations! Running a bit large I would suggest sizing down for a back up size. The fabric has no stretch but though big, the material can be pulled in with the attached belt for a more flattering look. This dress is great for any cup size and can be worn with a strapless bra. It is extremely roomy through the midsection and beyond and the light material calls for sipping margaritas pool side.

Fabulous true blue dress! Running true to size we recommend sizing up for back-up. This fabric does have some stretch to it which is a plus. This dress is best for A-C cups and needs to be worn with a strapless bra. It is synched at the waist but has a bit of room due to the stretchy material. This dress hits below the knee and would be considered tea length.

Stunning gown that had me feeling like the real Cinderella, definitely a head turner. The fabric is heavy but flowy and easy to move around in. I would say this can work for any cup size and body type.

This style is very tropical. Great for vacation or a Summer's day out. The dress is a bodycon style and hugs every curve. My favorite part of the dress is the front cut out that tops it off. I would recommend sizing up for back-up size.

The dress is exactly true to size but hugs every curve. This dress is for someone who is confident and does not mind showing off every curve. It is definitely a statement piece that reminds me of the Emerald City. Great for winter balls/galas.

This jumpsuit is sleek, clean and gives a classic crisp look
This jumpsuit runs large. I am usually a size 4 and wore a size 2. I loved wearing it, you can dress it up or down and it is extremely comfortable to move around in. The legs are a bit baggy though, I feel it would have been better if the legs were more fitted. I give the overall look an A+

Clean Crisp Look
The fit is large. I'm usually a size 4 but had to get a size 6 because the 4 was not available. I still loved it, sizing up wasn't so bad although it was really big but I made it work. I had to wear some denim shorts underneath because there is a hidden split in the front that separates when you walk. It is extremely comfortable though! I wore it from 9 am to around 11 pm on 4th of July while BBQ hoping and Fire Works watching.

5 Stars!!! I was sparkling!
This necklace was a hit! The weather was terrible and rainy but the necklace really brought some glam to the evening. It definitely upgraded my look since I decided to go with black for the wedding due to the inclement weather. Thumbs up!

Such a great dress to welcome Spring! Wore this to a Bridal shower and got major compliments
The fit is very tricky! I'm usually a size 4 and wore a size 4 but sometimes I have to get a 6 in certain dresses. So I'd say this dress is very true to size!
