Super forgiving and easy to wear!
Great length for a short gal like me, stretchy & flattering.

Perfect date night shirt
Fit was perfectly oversized without swallowing me, and the rhinestones were subtle enough to make it interesting without me looking like a disco ball. LOVED this, could find a million things to wear it to.

So fun to wear!
I found reasons to wear this flattering little number everywhere… to Vegas, dinner, a wedding rehearsal, and brunch. The top held in the girls nicely, and the length was perfect for my height (with a moderate heel). I almost bought it! My daughter called me “old Barbie” - the color really is very, very vibrant.

Easy summer go-to
Fits perfect and was my every day summer uniform. I bought this. Lightweight, huge pockets, cute as-is or with a tee underneath.

Did the job
This little dress photographs well and is plenty comfortable… the fabric is scratchy, and it was just a *little* too small in a 36 (to be fair, my weight was closer to 128/130 from the holidays). It was wearable but I felt like a stuffed sausage. ALSO… this would fit great on someone with a slightly bigger chest, like a C-cup. I didn’t quite fill it out & it gapped when I bent over.

What a winner!
Perfect little skirt for a California holiday. I wore this several times with everything from a casual T-shirt to a silk blouse... fit perfectly and had a little bit of give.

Those damn wrinkly ties!
Almost kept these because they are comfortable, dressy enough for work, but stretchy (albeit I could've sized down for sure, they fit fine). The tie belt tho! I ironed this sucker and it just immediately wrinkles which I don't love. That's my only complaint tho.

Flattering on my mom bod!
I'm always nervous about skintight dresses like this because I've had 3 children... but this one fit so nicely, and held me in without feeling uncomfortable. Perfect fit!

Comfortable and cool
I loved wearing this as a 2nd look for a wedding reception. The material is kind of a cotton/twill which makes it not very formal, but the LENGTH brings the drama for sure. I was super comfortable dancing and the length was not a problem despite my short height. Loved it!

Not for the old ladies
Ok first this size 8 *barely* was zippable so size up! This was lightweight, very bright pink, super duper long (skimmed the floor on my 5’3” frame), and was… frumpy? I don’t know. I didn’t get it. Maybe better for a Gen Z gal or something.

SIZE UP
I sized way up and it still wouldn’t zip! I needed at least a 10R and could’ve worn a 12R. Bummer because it was otherwise gorgeous and a surprisingly soft fabric.

Was hoping this would be a great middle-aged sophisticated cute shirt but OMG IT WAS SO CROPPED. I couldn’t figure out how to wear it and not look like I was wearing a child’s blouse.

Casual, cute, and supportive
I ended up loving this tho probably could’ve sized up (and in that case, would’ve needed a bra). As it was, it was very heavy denim, so held in my small gals just fine. Loved this casual with shorts. If you’re bigger than a B cup, size up so you can wear a bra under.

Perfectly fall for my petite frame!
Even though these are "oversized" the elastic waist fit me like a glove and gave me some shape. The corduroy was heavy enough for fall, and the length was perfect.

I lived in this... out to dinner, at work. A great winter/fall piece that wasn't too heavy for our California weather. Excellent quality. Kept it 2 months, almost bought it.

Gorgeous!
I'm glad I read the reviews and sized up... I'm usually an XS or S in Vince, but the M was perfect. Very sheer so I almost always wore a tank under, but this delicate, expensive silky fabric was to die for.

I wore this twice, it was very cute and age appropriate BUT.... it was so, so tight across the hips and butt. I am NOT a pear shaped gal so it was weird that it fit this way on me.

DAMN I felt hot in this dress
It was too small, I should’ve sized up - but was able to squeeeeeeeze in with lots of spanx. This dress was gorgeous, so comfortable & stretchy (thank god). I felt like a million bucks even tho it was a little on a small side.

Just ok
I had a hard time figuring out how to wear this, is much more business-casual than everyday… and the sleeves don’t go all the way down, so that was annoying. And it’s not that warm. Best for a fall workwear situation. Otherwise beautiful quality.
