This is a drop waist!
It's hard to tell from the photos but if you're a hip-y girl like I am, you may be surprised when you put it on. It's definitely snug around the hips but otherwise TTS

The best dress for day to night
I wore this dress all over NYC - it was the perfect dress for lunch with friends, for walking around brooklyn, and went seamlessly to a michelin starred dinner.

SIZE UP
I usually wear a 6 in dresses and rented a large - and even then, I could barely lift my arms over my head! That said, it's a gorgeous dress, and I wore it for a valentine's day black tie party and got compliments all night. It's not terribly long (I'm 5'4" and got away with wearing 1" heels).

Bright and Colorful
This was a great dress for a semi-formal fall wedding - it was enough coverage to sit outside on a brisk afternoon but breathable enough for hours of dancing. I have a very small waist and the dress doesn't have any give, so if you're more of an apple/round shape rather than hourglass, I would recommend sizing up as this fit me like a glove.

Vibrant dress, tons of compliments
I wore this for a keynote presentation. The theme of the event was Willy Wonka, so I leaned in with this vibrant dress. It was so comfy, light, and I got tons of compliments. Make sure you see that the belt is included in an accessory bag - I completely missed it and thought the piece was missing and made alternative belt plans but found it at the last minute.

So comfy!
I wore this a ton of times to a ton of different events. I'm on the shorter side (5'4") and the length was perfect for me, but could see it being too short on those with longer legs.

I love the color and the fabric but there was just not enough of it to go around.

This dress was fantastic! It's well made and is very flattering
It fit like a glove and was very comfortable. Definitely would recommend for a date night or a garden party, or if you're a bride, for your bridal shower!

This dress makes a statement
This dress is GORGEOUS but definitely runs a bit small on top. It fit me really well but when I pulled on a jacket, the zipper popped right open. I loooooove the pattern and how it fit - would rent again! Recommend sizing up if you have shoulders/chest.

super comfortable and classy for work
I usually wear a smaller size (6) but they didn't have it at the store and the 8 worked just fine. It's intentionally flowy, so you can get away with sizing up or down if your regular size isn't in stock. I really like the flower/star pattern, and got several compliments.

pop of color spices up any outfit
I really love this sweater. Super cozy and has pockets! Wore it with an H&M tank and jeans, but could also be dressed up for work.

fun piece to mix up work clothes
Intentionally baggy and cropped, I found that the medium was more flattering than the small. Excited to wear this with some red pants as well as jeans this weekend.

Bright cozy sweater great for winter
This cozy sweater is very warm - would probably be too warm unless you experience true winter temps. I wore it around NYC on a chilly February weekend and was perfectly warm. Recommend for brightening up your look during the cold winter months! Definitely runs large/baggy and is very comfortable.

The most comfortable jumpsuit ever.
Surprisingly, this jumpsuit wasn't too long on me, even though I'm only 5'4". I wore it out with heels one night and with flat boots during the day, and styled it with a wide brown belt, which I think is necessary to break up the pattern but my bf didn't think it needed the belt. It's incredibly comfortable - feels like pjs! - but the zipper in the back can be annoying when seated on an airplane/train. 10/10 would recommend!

Great everyday top that goes with any bottom
Wore this with jeans after the bottoms I ordered to go with this were damaged upon arrival. The top definitely flies open aggressively since it isn't secured in any way, but I wore a black cami under it and it looks great. Could also wear another color under it for a layered effect, such as red. Appreciate the fabric is light but still warm. Would possibly size down, since the bottom elastic feels pretty loose, but otherwise very comfortable!
