Flattering, mid-weight sweater but nothing special.

Itchy
Cute, but too itchy to wear for anyone with a sensitivity to wool.

Super Cute
Very comfortable, easy to style up or down with jeans or nicer bottoms. Slight crop top but not an issue with high-waisted pants.
Short Sleeve Striped Cardigan

Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 144lbs
Bust: 34C
Belt too tight
Really pretty, but the sewn in ribbon/belt made it impossible to zip. There would have been enough give in the waist if not for the tie being sewn right at the seam. I ordered two other size 8 dresses from Marchessa Notte and they fit perfectly but this one just wouldn’t zip. Not a big fan of the ribbon in general honestly, it just kind of hangs in front.

Too top heavy
The girls were spilling out and no amount of fashion tape could save it. Pretty believer fabric, and the style was cute and retro feeling.

Beautiful
I ordered a bunch of embroidered floral dresses to try on for a fall wedding on my membership plan. This dress was my favorite but I probably won’t wear it. The long sleeves make it quite warm, and it does look a little matronly compared to other sleeker, sleeveless dresses. But I am holding onto it just in case it’s cold, because I really do love the look of it. It’s stunning.

Witchy fall vibes
I’m tempted to buy this: super comfortable and can be dressed up or down. Am saving for a night out, or maybe to a fall rehearsal dinner.

Cute, but long and wide
The top fit nicely, yay for adjustable straps. Nice light material, very comfortable. Not the most flattering on a short, curvy person, but it felt fun.

Very pretty, large on top
Great dress, it just didn’t work out because I was too small on top. It has adjustable strap but with the defined cups it just didn’t look right. The cups are also a little wide set.

Stunning
I walked out of the elevator at the hotel where I was staying, and two women I didn't know walked by and squealed that they loved my dress. I received so many compliments on this dress, and I was grinning like an idiot the moment I opened the package with this one. The color is an eye-popping red, and the raised detailing is beautiful - it looks like rose petals! The size 8 did show a bit of wear compared to the backup size, but it was only when you got up close and around the edges that you could really notice it. I did end up wearing a size 8 when I wore this, but I was 140lbs at the time I wore it. The bust is tight, and I was somewhere between a 34C and a 36D at the time and able to wear it without a bra. I paired this with the Diane von Furstenberg Diamond Dust clutch and the Kate Spade Catching Light necklace and I felt like a million bucks.

Gorgeous
This dress was beautiful, and I received so many compliments on it. I wore a 6 comfortably, but probably could've fit into a size 4. The cap sleeves were a little annoying and limited my range of motion, so if you have larger shoulder or arms, I might suggest sizing up. The reason why I would have sized down was that at the collar you could sometimes see the white lip of the underlayer when sitting down - there was just too much fabric so it was a little baggy in the bust for me, but it's a minor complaint. I did end up wearing a slip underneath, but if you wore nude colored undergarments you would probably be fine.

Adorable color
Received this as a mystery bling and it was the perfect size. I managed to fit my phone, long (large) wallet, keys, mini hairbrush and lipstick in here. Beautiful color, and I loved the zip pocket on the outside for easy access- I was able to fit my work keycard in there. Not usually a fan of chains, but they looked cute and there was still the padding for the shoulder.

Extremely pretty, can be casual or dressed up
I wore this for a "Unite in White" charity event by the water and it worked perfectly. People wore everything from maxi dresses to formal cocktail dresses, and this dress fit right in the middle. I was also able to wear it to work with a cardigan and received quite a few compliments there as well. It runs large, and I definitely could have worn a size 2 , but my backup size was not delivered to do a mixup. You do not need to wear a slip, as the fabric is thick enough that nothing shows underneath. The skirt itself is very voluminous, so if you're looking for a dress that slims your bottom half, this probably is not it. But it is very pretty and fun - I was definitely twirling a bit more on the dance floor than usual to see the skirt flair. The one downside to this dress is that the there was a small gap in the buttons at the wait/seam line that I needed to safety pin closed. The buttons were evenly spaced, but the way that it hit on my body you could see some skin, especially when sitting down. I opted for some mystery bling and RTR paired this with a Rebecca Minkoff coral mini bag that looked really nice.
