Great vest, but a little tight/unforgiving in some areas.
This is super cute, especially if you plan to leave it open as styled in the picture. It does have clasps the whole way down it, and if you plan to close it, just know that if you have larger areas of your figure it might be a little tight as it's one size fits all.

Really cute dress with the perfect amount of detail to make you stand out.
I felt sophisticated yet flirty in this dress. Great for work or a big meeting.

Great top to dress up or keep casual. Nice lace detail.
I really loved this top and will definitely get it again. Great for everyday wear. You can make it casual by day, or dress it up for a night out.

Cute everyday top with fun print.
The fit was pretty classic and the print was fun. A nice everyday top to add a little color to the winter wardrobe.

Cute dress, but extra curvy seam at the bottom that didn't flatter my hips.
I really like a-line dresses. This one looked like that in the pictures, but has a seam that I didn't notice that runs just below the drop waist. It puffed out a little on me not flattering my pear shaped frame at all.

Great long length and color.
I really like longer shirts, and this one fit the bill. It has a nice heavy material for colder days with pants and boots (and a sweater or cute jacket). The only issue I had was that there was a definite cut to it that had lots of side boob. Not sure if sizing down would help this.

Cute, fun, casual top.
Great casual top that you could wear with white, black or blue jeans. Fun print that my kids even loved.

Great color and construction. Heavy/high quality material.
This is super cute. It does run tight through the hips though, so if you're pear shaped and struggle with a traditional shift dress, make sure you size up here.

Great color and very cute. High quality details.
Love everything about this, except that the material doesn't offer any room for movement. I.E. it was a little tight through my arms, and therefore felt very constrictive. So just size up if you have bigger arms.

Good statement piece
I don't often do large earrings, and these weren't so big that I was self conscious about them. They are heavy, but not to a point where their distracting. I'd definitely get them again.

Great dress, too short
I really liked this dress. It fit where it should, but didn't feel restrictive. One thing to note, the "inner" black lines are a slightly less dark color than the trim lines. Not a big deal, but looks a little different in person. Really liked the dress, but I would have had to wear flats. It was nowhere near the floor before I put shoes on. At 5'5'' that's not usually a problem for me at all.

This dress is awesome. Material looks very expensive. Flattering fit.
Loved this dress. Material looks expensive and the shape is super flattering. Got lots of compliments and felt comfortable all night. Fabric is thick, so wouldn't recommend it for a summer event. I usually wear a 6 or 8 in dresses depending on how tight they are on the bottom. I figured I'd be squeezing into a 6 in this one, but ended up needing RTR to overnight a size 4 to me. So definitely think about what fits your top when ordering this one.

Great for hiding a little bump.
I wore this dress to a wedding when my bump was just really starting to come out. I didn't want to get a maternity dress for just one event, but I knew nothing I had would fit. This dress was great. The only reason I gave it four instead of five stars was because I thought it was a little less expensive looking in person than it is in the pictures. Still pretty, just not quite as high end.

Great for a tall and straight girl, not so much for my pear shape.
The color and style of this dress are both really cute. I had hoped from the pictures that it would have a little more room in the hip area, but it's cut very much like a sheath dress. It ended up fitting my hips, but not my top. Again, highly recommend for someone without curves, but girls with bottoms that don't have the tops to balance should probably skip this one.

Classy and easy to dress up or down.
I wore this to a friend's wedding and was worried it would be too informal, but with some fun jewelry, it was perfect. The color is really nice and I liked having a little sleeve as my arm workouts haven't been as on point as I would wish for! I wore the 8, but probably could have used the 10. It fit fine, but the arms were a little tight and the remnants of my baby belly definitely weren't invisible (though the dress did a great job of not making my belly obvious either). The one thing I read and it's totally true, this dress is pretty short. I just had to be mindful of that on the dance floor!

Wanted it for a party night out, too heavy and worn.
This material is way heavier in person and the skirt was very full on my hips. Just couldn't dress it up nearly as much as I had hoped for.
