Did not end up wearing it...
Actually this dress was super-cute and stylish, but a little warm and a little fussy about staying in place even as I walked around the house. Ended up going with something more tried-and-true for the holiday party I'd planned to wear it.

Great jacket!
This jacket was perfect for throwing over my outfit in the fall. I don't have a gray jacket normally, so I was surprised how well the blue made it go with jeans, and the gray and off-white made it go with everything else. Very loose and easy to wear, it still fell straight from the shoulders, never appearing sloppy. Unlined. Fun garment and very versatile!

Great jacket
Bailey 44 makes great clothing that's always right up my alley. Their stuff also always runs a little small (not much -- one size). If you usually wear a six in a jacket like I do, get an 8. Jacket is unlined but keeps its shape pretty well and looks good with a variety of outfits.

Could not wear it.
Unfortunately, the dress was too small. I'm a size 6/8 in most dresses, and this one would barely zip at a medium. No room to move around, had no give, didn't look good, so did not end up wearing it. Cut was okay, I think, so a large might've been all right.

Got it for a conference but did not like it on at all.
The white lapel should be the entire lapel -- since it's not, it looks like a mistake when you wear the jacket. The cloth is coarse and doesn't drape well. I ended up leaving it behind and never wearing it, even though the fit was perfect. I'm 5'5", 145lbs, and curvy.

Loved the embroidery!
The shirt fit really well and I ended up wearing it a few times this month. I paired it with embroidered jeans and it looked amazing! Though I fit into a small, I think I might've done better with a medium in order to get the sleeves longer and to have it hit me at the right place on my hip. It fit well around my broad shoulders, smaller waist, and curvy hips though, so maybe not. A lot of compliments too!

Did not end up wearing, but not through choice. I intended it for a business trip.
Loved the high-waisted style here! Fun cut, and fit me very well (hourglass figure, 145-lb, 5'5"). Unfortunately just not better than the other black skirt I already owned, ended up taking it instead.

Was not able to wear it for the event.
Very tight around the waist; no give. It fastened but was uncomfortable. Lighter-colored part looks iridescent in the picture but is solid silver in real life. It also is un-hemmed on the edge that sweeps vertically down the skirt, making it look messy/unfinished. I didn't end up wearing it at all.

Unfortunately for women with smaller hips than mine...!
As you can see in the pic, I could get this on, but I definitely couldn't wear it! The waist was baggy and the hips were tight, which is often an issue for me. I would NOT recommend if you're an hourglass or pear-shaped. Since the 'About You' section isn't populating, I'm 5'5", 34C, hourglass, broad hips and shoulders, size 6 or 8 in most dresses.

Great dress, (nearly) perfect fit, great for garden parties
So I was shocked when this dress hugged every curve without gapping anywhere: perfect at the waist and chest. Where it was a little loose was the shoulders. That's surprising since I'm broad-shouldered. It didn't really need the tie that came with it unless I was going to be seated a lot, when it might gap at the waist. Otherwise it looked better without it. I wore it to two different parties and once grocery shopping, so it's great for get-togethers and also just for when you want to look nice. The 'about you' section isn't populating for some reason, so I'm 5'5", 147lbs, hourglass, broad hips and shoulders, 34C.

Great for conferences!
Absolutely loved this. Fit was great. I am broad-shouldered and small-waisted but there was a bit of roominess at the waist -- so don't shy away if your shape is a little different. The brocade-like fabric ensured I looked crips and put together, even after wearing it for two different conferences during the same week. The sparkles woven in the fabric were just enough to add interest without being super-flashy or distracting, and gave the jacket a subtle blue sheen that let me pair it with black leggings, dark jeans, and a black, just-above-the-knee skirt and it looked great no matter what! Might ask for this for Christmas, it was definitely my fave item I ordered this month.

This did not work.
Believe others when they say it runs small! Because I have a small waist and large hips, I've never worn anything bigger than a small in a skirt with an elastic waist that was loose at the hips. In this skirt, the waist gave so little and was so tight I couldn't even keep it on. The fabric was lightweight and curled where it had been cut to reveal different layers. Underwhelmed and disappointed.
