Fun, girly and springy
I wore to this my sister-in-law's bridal shower, a luncheon at the country club in California. Loved the color and the shape, but this particular dress was looking a little worn (starting to fray and not look so bright anymore). It was also a bit short for me (5'9") for this type of occasion, but not by much. Great daytime choice!

Piece It Together Dress

Loved the color and flowy skirt with some soft structure at the top.
Perfect for a summer wedding. I'm 5'9" and was wearing low (1-1.5in) wedges and the 6R was just long enough; taller ladies or high heel lovers should opt for the long sizes. I wear a 6 or 8 depending on the brand and the 6 fit like a glove. Wish I could buy this one - I dressed it down a bit with a jean jacket because of the occasion but it could easily be dressed up for a more formal affair.

Perfect for a fall wedding! Super flattering; thick material and rich color.
Beautiful dress, would happily rent again. True to size; the 6 was snug but the 8 wasn't available.

Love At First Sight Dress
Z Spoke Zac Posen
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 36B
Flattering and conservative with a bit of sexiness from the lace over nude.
First, the dress is great; I got lots of compliments and can see wearing it regularly. However, like many reviewers I ended up wearing the L slip under the M lace piece; the M slip was extremely tight and rode up as I walked, whereas the lace top piece fit perfectly in a M. The combination of the M lace and the L flip was perfect, but I wouldn't buy this dress because of the mismatch.

Great fit, fun and lightweight for summer
I ordered this dress for an outdoor summer wedding. I ordered both the 6 and 8 and ended up going with the 6 -- the 8 would have worked but the 6 fit better in the torso. The skirt has just the right amount of flounce and a perfect length. It was fun to dance in -- but I did have to be a bit careful not to bend over too far as a tall gal. I wasn't in love with this one when I first put it on but it grew on me quickly, and I got tons of compliments. The patterns also means minimal jewelry and shoes required to make it pop -- I wore gold earrings and a gold cuff, no necklace, and a pair of black wedge sandals. Would definitely order this one again.

Hibiscus Flippy Dress
Proenza Schouler
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 9"

Sophisticated, shiny and fun for a fancy party.
Fits and feels like a much more casual dress, but the sequins take it up a notch! I was stopped constantly by people complimenting the dress and it was comfortable to wear all night. Minimal accessories required given the sequins, and I wore with gold strappy sandals. The one downside is that because the slip underneath is shorter than the dress, sitting for a long time led to sequins digging into the back of my thighs; not a huge problem, but getting up felt pretty good. Easy to dance the night away in!

The dress was perfect for an evening of two events - a company party and a semi-formal benefit.
I chose this dress in part because it looked good on almost everyone who reviewed it (sadly I have no photo to share); flattering and not too short on my 5'9" frame. The black nips you in at the waist and the pattern is fun but no too flashy. I wore it with black tights and booties and a red chunky necklace; color additions are key, I think.
