Lightweight, super comfortable, minimizes hips.
This is a fantastic dress for a fuller figure. It hugs the chest and flows nicely from the waist down, which helps to minimize my wider areas. It's a great pattern and super comfortable. It is lightweight so may not be great for winter in colder environments. I would definitely rent again considered buying it.

Great top for curvy bodies. Good for work, catching drinks, or dinner.
Awesome every day top. Goes from day to nights easily. Dress up with black pants or a skirt or wear with jeans. Flows nicely to hid post baby belly and wider hips. Fun slit in back.

Heavy, hot material. Tries to be fancy but it's not. Runs super large.
I wore this twice and liked it less and less with every hour. The top black part was like a super heavy tee-shirt material. The bottom black and white patterned part was a material that wrinkles really easily. Under this there is a liner that only serves to trap heat. This dress was awful.

Large, boxy top. Only for the most well endowed. Tape or pins wouldn't have helped.
It's a beautiful dress and the length worked with my 5'5" height. It hit my waist nicely and flowed down to hide my loose belly and flatter my wide hips. The biggest problem was the boxy nature of the top. The straps are super long and could have been pinned but there was so much material in the top it couldn't be taped or pinned nicely.

Cape. Enough said. Sliming on wide hips and post baby belly.
The cape is amazing. It's super fun and classy at the same time. I have a decent post baby belly and wide hips. The dress was fitted enough to be slimming but not tight at all. The photo taken was after my spanx were off and I consumed a large amount of wedding buffet dinner! The dress is such a dark navy that I wore black sandals with it and no one could tell.

Fantastic top for curvy mamas. Flows nicely and hides problem areas.
Loved this top so much I wore it three times. Would have worn it more if I had more places to go. I have wide hips and a post baby bump that isn't going anywhere. It flows really nicely, hiding the areas I'm not as fond of, while flattering my best qualities. It's more of a royal blue and it worked with black pants. I liked it most with 3/4 length pants.

Bust is big and low cut. Tummy/back is tight.
It's a cute dress with a nice pattern but not great for fuller figures unless you have a larger cup size or are broad chested. While the top/bust area was overly large (and I'm a D cup), the waist was a bit snug. It wasn't proportional for me.
