Beautiful gown for a formal affair
I wore this dress to the Tonys and felt incredibly beautiful. I'm normally between 2 and 4, but the 4 in this was way too big. The benefit of the 2 was that I didn't need to wear a bra, the top was sufficiently tight and supportive.

Great non-stuffy dress for a night out
I wore this for my husband's birthday dinner at a nice restaurant. The dress is incredibly comfortable, looked great, and came out of my suitcase wrinkle free. In the photos it looks grey, but it's actually purple in person.

Cute and comfy, but not special
I was hoping is would be softer. It fit fine and was big but not frumpy

Meh
This sweater is such a pretty color, and is incredibly soft. However, I found the neckline to be uncomfortably high and the shape to be generally unflattering.

Great work dress
This was a great dress for work, but it definitely rides up when you walk, maybe because the hemline is weirdly tight. I liked it enough to wear twice.

Perfect dress for a literary gala
This was my backup dress and the 2r was my backup size. Because the back is so low, it would have been hard to wear a bra, and in the 2, I didn't need to wear one. The skirt on the 4 was so voluminous, I felt like an idiot. I'm 5'5", but even in 4 inch heels, the dress trailed on the ground by a few inches. Once I basted up the hem, it wasn't a problem. I never would have picked this dress if it wasn't my backup, but I felt gorgeous. I ended up being super happy.
