Barn raising or brunch?
I wore this to a girlfriend's birthday brunch and it was super comfortable but a little chilly for 55° - hence the tee under it. The pleats on the waist are a little bulky but once I got used to it I didn't mind it, l'll probably try to wear it a few more times before returning. At 5'1" it came almost exactly to my ankles.

Unflattering (to me)
I'm not sure why it didn't quite work, I usually like this shape of dress. It was a bit tight around the top of my chest (which is not the kind of thing I usually have a problem with!) and a little too long for me and the ruching on the sleeves looked sloppy on my arms instead of cute ... it would definitely work for someone, but didn't for me. It wasn't the wrong size, exactly, just not the right fit.

Company Holiday Party
The 36 was the only size available, and I was worried about going that small, but it fit snugly and looked great. I didn't have a lot of movement in the shoulders, but the party was a luncheon so no problem. I loved the collar and the scallops, they gave it just the littlest difference from everyone else. Also: POCKETS!

Cutest outfit at Costco
I LOVED this. It was really really memorable, which made it a good rental - I probably wouldn't want to wear it for a whole season. However, I could have, because it was super duper warm - warm enough for temps in the teens.

Mountain weekend
The xs was the recommended size, and it wasn't as loose on me as the model - I think a small would have been. It was still loose enough to wear shirts underneath, which was good because it's not warm enough for below freezing weather. Overall I loved it, I basically didn't take it off for three days.

It was more structured than I expected, but fit beautifully particularly around my shoulders.

Thanksgiving with my husbands family
I wish I'd taken a full body pic- it was mid calf on me but that wasn't a problem, I still loved where the waist hit. Plus, pockets!! I may rent it again for Christmas.

The perfect mix of special and everyday
I love a pencil skirt but this is in a class by itself. I wear a 2P in jcrew pencil skirts and this fits similarly around the hips but has a higher and tighter waist. The seaming adds a visual layer that made me feel extra swishy. I'm short, but the flare makes the length seem appropriate no matter where it hits. Love it so much I bought it.

wanted to keep it!
The fit, the fabric, the shape - everything was perfect. Someone did say 'oh, were you selected for House Gryffindor?' which ... yeah, these are those colors. Didn't mind at all though, still a GREAT sweater.

Still can't decide on sizing
The neck was so very, very low! It took awhile before I found a cami that didn't take away from it. I don't usually mind a low neckline, I don't have a lot of cleavage, but I couldn't have worn this without something under it. If I'd gone up a size I potentially could have wrapped it further? Or down a size might have brought the whole thing up? My first DVF, I'll definitely try others. High quality fabric and construction and GREAT colors, I wore it with high heeled brown boots and a brown cardi.

Borderline side slits
I am short and relatively short waisted, and I had at least an inch and a half of skin showing in the slits above the sides of my high rise jeans. I didn't mind but I can't imagine what would happen on anyone taller! Plus, the arm holes were large enough that they made it problematic to wear without an undershirt, I couldn't find a bra that didn't show. I just ended up with a black cami and it worked.

Party Dress for Beach Vacay
This dress is amazing, I almost kept it but don't have much use for it in Colorado. The neckline is deep and the skirt is quite short - I'm 5'1" and was comfortable. The strips add this sporty feel that's just the right amount of casual when paired with the white. Loved it.

Night Out on Beach Vacay
It was a normal fit for a maxi dress on a short girl (5'1") - floor length, rode quite low on the chest. The bust was a little tight because of where it sat, but nothing insurmountable. The fabric was lovely, heavier than I expected, and pockets are always welcome!
