Regular Work Day
This dress was exactly what I wanted: a high quality, simple work dress for a regular day in the office. It was great quality, fit correctly, nice color, etc. No complaints, but it wasn't super special either.

Important work briefing
The dress was absolutely gorgeous standing up. However, the slit is really high. I had to keep a sweater or a notebook on my lap all day at work while sitting down. And I worried how much leg is was showing when taking a long stride or going up stairs.

Simple, floral, festive
I rented this for a 70th birthday party. The dress was very pretty, the pattern is bold, but in a fun, happy way. And I loved the velvet ribbon running down the back. If I had any criticism, it was that the hips were a bit roomy. It had a curvy cut--it was definitely my size, but perhaps best for those with hips.

A little too form fitting
This dress was a little too clingy for it to be work appropriate for me. It's a jersey knit material (very stretchy) and not lined, which would have been a bit too revealing of my curves (especially my butt) that I prefer--even with shapewear.

Fun Everyday Shirt
This was a great shirt that got compliments everywhere I went. It felt great to wear. The construction was really nice--especially how the inside flap buttoned so you don't have to just rely on the tie to keep the shirt closed. Also, the top didn't gape at all, which is a minor miracle for a flat chested girl wearing a wrap top. I didn't need to wear a cami at all. The only downside was that it ran large. I'm between a 4 and a 6 and went down to a 4, which was still slightly too big.

A More Interesting Basic
Jean skirts are so versatile. It was fun to wear one that is slightly different from the norm. The cut, the weight of the fabric, and the details were all really high quality. The only problem was that it was a TTS or I would have kept it for a few weeks.

Felt Pretty
This dress was exactly what I was looking for: pretty, casual, feminine, and comfortable. I wore it to run errands and for date night at a local brewery. It got suddenly chilly here, so I paired it with leggings. My only complaint is that where the fabric gather just below the empire waist, highlighted my stomach pooch a little, but I guess I can't blame the dress for that. I would have worn the dress without a cami underneath for date night, but I didn't have a bra with a deep enough V.

Retro Casual
Aside from the fact that this jacket had a very strong chemical smell (like a cross between a thrift store and clorox, for which I had to send it back), the jacket itself was cute. My husband described it as retro thrift store, which is kind of the vibe it's going for. It's very easy to wear with just about anything casual. Based on the reviews, I sized up to medium, but wished I had ordered a small.

Felt Stunning
This dress was so much fun to wear. The color is bright and the way the skirt swing attract attention, but it's a demure dress--no cleavage, no leg, not too tight, etc. This is a great power work dress when you want to feel in charge. The fabric is surprisingly giving, but the top could be small for someone busty.

Fun to wear
This skirt was so much fun to wear. It was comfortable, pretty, flirty, and understated. I wish I could own this one because I could see myself wearing it on a regular day, to a picnic, to a social gathering, etc. It's very versatile. It also fits true to size.

Nice, comfortable shirt
I work this for a casual day at a company conference with jeans. It struck a nice balance between fun and work-appropriate. It felt very light and comfortable to wear. I ended up wearing it multiple times.

Classic, striking blue dress
This dress fit beautifully and felt both understated and striking at the same time. It might be a bit small in the bust for larger ladies, but was a surprisingly nice fit for my small frame. It also seems like a true 6--neither big nor small. I loved the length just past my knee-caps--felt very lady like but also form fitting. I would wear again.

Fun, work appropriate dress
I really liked this dress. It was colorful and fun while being work appropriate for a conservative office. The construction was very high quality--including a nice lining. The fit was great, except at the bust, which was a little big for this size A girl (not a surprise). The only odd thing was that the dress did not have a kick pleat, so if you need to go up a lot of stairs or walk very briskly, you feel a little constrained. I would rent this again.

It had potential...
This dress has the potential to be beautiful and stunning in a work-appropriate way. However, it was big all over on me--I couldn't wear it. It also wasn't lined, which I could get over, but a quality dress should be lined--especially a white one (not that it was see-through). The material was stretchy, which surprised me. I would have worn it had it fit, but I thought it would be a higher quality overall.

Cute, summery top
This top was cute and fun to wear to a block party. However, I sized up because people said it ran small. I wish I ordered a medium. I still wore it, but it felt like it hung on my frame a bit. The shirt was just long enough where--for the most part--it covered my midriff unless I raised my hand.

Too short!
Maybe I have a long waist, but I expected this to cover my belly button. I'm even wearing high-waisted jeans. It's a shame because it's a pretty shirt (and comfortable). So I recommend it for short-waisted people or those with rock hard abs.
