Western wear
Wore this to the rodeo with my cowboy boots and got a lot of compliments. I wore my Norma size (6) and it fit great. I'm 5' 9" and the skirt was still a decent length on me - maybe 4" above my knee. The leather is very soft.
Cognac Vegan Leather Skirt

Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 34D
Cute but runs small
Great fabric. It's thick and stretchy. Was a little shorter than I like for work. But I'm 5'9". I'm a 34D and it was quite tight across the chest. Overall still a nice dress. I wore pantyhose underneath and I couldn't see any lines from them.
Fuchsia Flutter Dress

Cute but short for tall gals
I like how lightweight this dress is. It is not lined. It is silky, but has a little stretch. My only complaint is it is a tiny bit shorter than I like, but I'm 5'9" - so if you are shorter, then it's probably no issue.
Blue Poppy Print Dress

Great stretchy, thick fabric. Good for work or play!
I love this fabric. It is thick and stretchy. Hides imperfections. Might be too hot for summer, but great for cooler months. My only issue is that the sleeves were very tight, all the way down to my wrists. Otherwise I think the dress is true to size.
Addison Cold Shoulder Sheath
Chiara Boni La Petite Robe

Elegant, beautiful, even good for work
This was a tad shorter than I like for work, but it was still appropriate. I'm 5'9", so I'm used to this. Make sure to take your rings and bracelets off before putting this dress on. The lace fabric is sturdy, but jewelry will catch on it. The shoulders are a little uncomfortable and it's not easy to raise you arms. So that's ok for work, but I would not be comfortable trying to dance in it at a wedding.
Black and Navy Shaelyn Wrap Dress
Diane von Furstenberg
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 34D
GREAT stretch, and loved the length for work
I loved how stretchy this material is. It is also thick and heavy, so it's great for indoors or a fall day. Maybe too hot for outdoors in summer. I'm 5'9" and it hits right above my knee for an appropriate length! Even when I sit down at work, it does not ride up. I would really like to purchase this dress but it's not really in my budget right now. It would be worth the money though.
Brush of Burgundy Dress
Cut 25

Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 34D
Classic, versatile, & length is appropriate for work
You could wear this dress to anything. Work, wedding, funeral, graduation etc. I liked the length. It hit just above my knees and I'm 5'9". I used a safety pin to close the front at the bust. You could also wear a cami, if you don't want to show too much cleavage! The fabric is nice and sturdy with a good deal of stretch.
Jeanne Two Dress

Cute until you raise your arms, if you are tall
This is a nice dress for work. The only problem: when I raise my arms, the dress comes way up. Also, when I sit down, it rides up higher than I would like. (I am 5'9" so I'm sort of used to this) If you are going to a party or an event then you may not be as worried about this. There is really not much stretch or give. The arms were snug, but not uncomfortably tight. It looks professional but is best for a party or wedding etc.
