The fabric of this is very thick meaning the sleeves of this thing are seriously poofy. It was just too much for me. Medium was too large for me. I recommend sizing down.

Flattering shirt dress!
Wore this for work. Typical shirt dress. The scoops on the side come up pretty high so the length of it was evened out by those. Really high quality fabric and fun details. Love love love.

Hip riders. I like my culottes to be natural waist fits.
These are hip riding culottes. They also run a bit slim, which I found odd so they were very tight on my thighs. Size up, and and just keep in mind that these sit on your hips not your waist!

Just fabulously adorable.
The snap fell in the perfect place, so you can still wear a bra with this top. It would be a cropped blouse with anything that isn't high waisted, so just be aware of that. The color scheme is wonderful. It's definitely more of a summer blouse, but I made it work. Everytime i lifted by arms you could see my stomach so just also be aware of that too. Overall loved it, would buy it if I could afford it!

Got so so so many compliments, felt like a Victorian goddess.
The keyhole cuts a little lower than I expected so just be aware of that if you have a lot of cleavage. Luckily I have a smaller chest so it wasn't inappropriate. The length is about mid calf, and the top is blousey. I really really loved this dress. Got so so so many compliments and really fit like a glove.

Curve hugging with stretch.
Loved this dress. I received it with a popped seam in the front slit, so I couldn't wear it but when I tried it on, it was fabulous. The mock turtle neck is a nice touch, I wore this in 84 degree weather even with the turtle neck as I felt the straps managed to warm weather it up a bit. there is a little bit of limited mobility in this dress. When you sit, the neck tends to pull and it can be a little constricting.

Colorful and fun. Lots of compliments.
This was shorter than my typical dress worn to work but I wore it with heels anyway. I was definitely mindful of pulling it down as often as I could. Fun 70s style with fabulous colors. I wore this with a pair of red suede pointed pumps and let the dress speak for itself.

The sleeves were just awful
Not for a broad shouldered lady. Way too stark. Also, the 6 was HUGE on both my waist and arms, which was odd.

Spray can dress.
I got the size 4, this thing is literally painted on me, and I love it so much. It's hyper sexy while still conservative with the wide straps and square neck line. I have a small bust so I'm able to move my ladies around to create cleavage with this thing if needed/desired. I love the color of this dress, it's truly a stunner. I'm trying to make after work plans so I can go out and have people stare at me in this thing. Gorgeous.

Made me look like a line backer!
So with the ruffled sleeves my shoulders looked super wide, which was to be expected, however the dress fit really tight over all so it made me look like this giantess trying to fit into a cute little dress. This is a no go for athletic builds.

FUN! Love the pink, love the sleeves.
This blouse is fabulous. There are slits in the belle sleeves which make it playful, I loved it. I wore it with a fun black and white printed skirt and a chunky black necklace. It came untucked frequently as this shirt runs a bit short/cropped. Would be fabulous with skinny jeans and a fun heel too.

Lovely, fun pant. Not as high waisted as I like.
When I think coulotte I think ultra high waist, DVF has a tendency to make her high waisted pants just a liiiittle too short, maybe it's my torso. Either way, these were fabulous, I just wish they rose a little higher so they'd hit right at my natural waist instead of on my hip bones.

FABULOUS.
I have a large rump, so the 4 was perfect tightness on my hips/butt, but it was loose on my waist as I have a size 2 natural waist. The arm holes were a little constricting but I will always sacrifice comfort for a stunner like this. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. So fun to twirl in, I would buy it if I was made of money.

Such GORGEOUS detailing.
I have wide hips, and this dress is not forgiving in that area. It was tight across my hips and there was just so much extra fabric at my natural waist. I didn't wear it. The detailing is fabulous. I think this is made for a straight and narrow body type. Bummer too cause it would have made me look bootylicious!

Super fun, well made blouse.
I love this shirt. I wanted to buy it immediately but it's not available for purchase yet... UHG. My only con for this is that the ribbon that comes with the shirt is significantly shorter than pictured. It barely has any hanging pieces to really balance the blouse. More cons after having it for a bit... it is VERY cropped. You can't really wear it to work unless you have a very high waisted pant or skirt, which i don't have.

The zippers are amazing. Two zippers on the shoulders and one on the side to get into it easily.
Obviously this is an amazing piece. I am planning on wearing this for a garden party coming up in April. I want to wear it with a crinoline skirt underneath to really give it some umph. Gorgeous. A lot of people commented on how heavy the dress was, but when you put it on its not very heavy, especially compared to hanging on a hanger. Loved it. Can wear to a formal affair or to work. Very versatile.

I felt like a piece of bubble gum, it put me in a really good mood.
This dress is fabulous. I actually wore it on a date and to work. For the date I wore it with no bra (there are cutouts in inconvenient places for bra straps), black sneakers, and a black leather jacket. Very comfortable but I still felt very sexy. For work I wore it with a black velvet blazer, polka dot tights, and black flats (would have preferred with black pumps but my back is out right now. Very versatile dress, would definitely purchase if I had more money!

I loved how Brady Bunch I looked!
I wore this with a collared shirt buttoned up underneath with a black necklace under the color. I couldnt wear heels cause of my back but I would have definitely done a pop of color to further the funky vibe. I ended up wearing it with black tights and black flats and still crushed the outfit. I felt very confident in this dress even without the waist being cinched (something I struggle with). The fabric is amazing and it has a stretch to it. Functional pockets too!!

Staple item. Sexy but still appropriate for the office.
The weight of the fabric combined with the color make this a perfect fall/winter skirt. The slits on the side give this skirt a LOT more edge. It's a very cute skirt, but without the slits it would be pretty "buttoned up". I was expecting the fabric to be a little heavier, and I'm glad it's not, because I'd be sweating through it. I absolutely love this skirt.

Stunning little black dress.
Absolutely flawless. I love the pointed cups, something that this designer tends to repeat on more than one dress. I have a pretty small chest and this really looked great on me. The waist is a bit large for me and because the fabric has a lot of stretch I could probably size down to a size 2 and it would still look amazing. The front slit is fun, and the length of it keep it elegant even though this dress has a low cut to it. Love it. Edit: Rented this AGAIN, wore a size 2. Wooooooo baby this thing is a freakin' stunner.

It's a beautiful dress, but for someone with a but its a little short!
I loved the open back, and found it to be very flattering, my issues with the dress came from having a booty. It runs VERY short if you have a lot going on, and cause me to have to pull it down with every step. Additionally the arms were just too snug for me to have fun dancing in this. I would maybe go to a size 6 if I rented again, but I fear the waist would be too large if I went up a size.

It's great for work and for dates! Super cute and fun.
I am obsessed with this dress. I think I got a size too small because it was a tiny bit short and a little tight in the sleeves when I tried to raise my arms, BUT I am going to be reordering this almost immediately in the next size for a bridal shower. Love it so much.
