Fancy Lady Work Dress
I felt like a real "IT" girl in this dress. It's unique and flattering. I didn't have a problem w the snaps.

Gorgeous but flimsy
This dress is so flattering but a little tight. I needed to size up from the original size but can't wait to rent it w a little more forgiveness. The cloth is pretty flimsy - it's not lined. But so striking I loved it anyway.

Easter Dress Vibes
I'm between an 8 and a 10 with no waist and this was SNUG. I added a belt to give more waist definition, but ultimately decided I wouldn't be comfortable all day and didn't wear it. It looks a little like Easter church style, and probably scales a little to the frumpy side.

Glamorous grunge
The theme for this party was glam to grunge. The plaid skirt was perfect. I did some styling hacks, tho. I thought the plunge back looked better in the front; more modern. So I wore it backward. It was also too long for my 5'4" frame, so I tied the sides in knots. Worked perfectly to accentuate my converse sneaks, and made it a little more grunge. Compliments all night.

A little eccentric
The fit is definitely large, so I sized down. I pulled the belt as tight as it would go! And even though I'm not sure it's flattering, I absolutely love it. I've worn it 4 times now, with silver and black booties and rocker sunglasses so it doesn't look so 70s art teacher.

Too much V
Beautiful if startling print. Was a little tight in the waist and rib cage, so wasn't sure I would actually get it zipped all the way up. I don't have a very defined waist, so this didn't work for me in this size. Also the v is deeeep. Not a modesty issue - just didn't look flattering on me.

Unexpected love
This was my alternate dress for a gala and I'm so glad I chose it. I'm short-waisted with an athletic build and no real waist definition, and this still fit me perfectly. I thought the halter might look weird, but the overall look was very flattering. I paired it with a dark cranberry purse and blue heels.

Be ready for Little House on the Prairie references
I loved this dress. Is it flattering? Not really. Did my SO love it. No. But it was the only thing I wanted to have on in the cool evening after a day at the pool.

Perfect summer party dress
I wore this several times - to a summer bar-b-que, on vacation, just bopping' around town. Got tons of compliments. Great quality. Might be a little low cut for some.

Fun and forgiving
Fit perfectly. Not too short at all. And the tie waist was very forgiving while still looking stylish.

Big, bulky and the fur always looked askew. Warm, though.
I wanted to love this. It is big and bulky so not really flattering, but I knew that going in. The big deal breaker was the fur. I spent so much time attaching it, but couldn't figure out which buttons I was supposed to use, and never could get it to look right. So back it went.

Perfect riff on the LBD
Cute and well-made. The polka dots add interest, but don't come off too cutesy. Hit just above my knee. Not too much cleavage for me since I'm small-busted. The back is sheer, but didn't seem too scandalous for my office, especially w a flesh-colored bra.

Flattering weekend dress!
The small fit me perfectly, and the fabric is thick enough that it doesn't call attention to any tummy bulges. I paired it with a denim jacket and fringed sneakers for a day at the park.

Beautiful, eye-catching print
Fit perfectly everywhere except the bust area. The front gaped and showed my regular bra, so I chose to wear a black bandeau bra underneath that peaked out the top and kept it modest. I have a little poochy baby belly, so I chose to wear shape wear as well. In the winter I usually wear tights with DVF dresses, and that does the trick too.
