Needs an instruction manual to get on
but once it’s on….. YOWZA! 😳 This dress is incredible from every angle. Very well made and perfectly tailored to the body. This dress is a traffic accident waiting to happen. Jaws dropped, compliments were never ending, confidence skyrocketed. Showstopper.

Perfect
Word this to two EDM concerts and it was flawless. Fit like a low rise dream on my short waisted frame. Short enough to be sexy but long enough to be appropriate when dancing like a machine for hours straight. I found this on sale on the ALC site and snagged it!

Short and sassy
This picture only shows the length on a 5’4” person! This dress is VERY fitted and short. Takes a bit of confidence to make it work. And work it, I did! I wore this outfit when I was orchestrating a dinner party for friends. It was fun and the dress was very comfortable and easy to wear.

Cincinnati wasn’t ready for this one
She’s tiny! And gorgeous. Very fitted and short, you have to have a good amount of confidence to wear this dress out and about. I have that. 😊 A total traffic stopper, you gotta own it! The dress is incredibly well made and comfortable once it gets on. It is a bit compressible and the fabric is very substantial. This would look WAY more at home in a tropical environment than in downtown Cincinnati on an unseasonably cool Summer’s day but I loved wearing it nonetheless.

I loved wearing this dress. It was comfortable, super flattering, eye eye-catching and fun to wear. The fabrication was light and airy but substantial and opaque enough to not worry about being inappropriate at work. LOTS of compliments.

This fit perfectly except…. As you can see from the picture, my 34C chest was a bit too much for this one. It IS gorgeous and so well made but this was unwearable for me.

Cherry picking gorgeousness
So flattering and easy to wear. The deep blue is almost purple and the cherries are super fun and strategically placed and shaped. Very attractive on the body. It’s mesh so the fabrication was perfect for a sultry Summer evening in Cincinnati. Wore this to work as a hostess at Metropole downtown and got non-stop compliments.

Not meant to be
It felt off-kilter on me. The shoulder line, the draping at the waist- all of it felt slightly askew on my body. I have a pretty muscular build and this did nothing to flatter it. Made me look lumpy. Went back unworn.

Winning
My colleague said ‘You look like you just popped out of a Barbie box!’ I felt just like I did. The dress is very short and very snug through the bodice and waist but it has some stretch so it wasn't uncomfortable. I felt deliciously feminine in it.

This dress is gorgeously made and fits very well. The top is a bit open but not overly showy. I’m a solid 34C and I didn’t feel overly exposed at work. I am a hostess at Metropole in downtown Cincinnati and this was an attention grabbing moment.

I loved this dress. Fit like a glove with the silkiest mesh fabrication. Tiny, thoughtful details made it feel and look special & expensive. It shows a lot of body and the pattern is visually striking so be prepared for compliments.

LOVED IT! 😍
Dresses like these are why I rent. It’s not my normal style but I loved trying something that pushes me away from my comfort zone. This dress is soft and comfortable. Wore it to run errands and to work from home. Can definitely be dressed up or down.

Compliments Galore!
This dress was a total hit! I work as a hostess at Metropole in downtown Cincinnati. We had a super busy night and I got compliments from so many people! The dress is a true wrap but ttying it securely was super easy and there were no wardrobe malfunctions. It's silky and sexy but very sophisticated and elegant. If I hadn't bought one dress already this week, this would be joining the permanent collection.

Gorgeous and elegant. The fit is fantastic. The hip was a touch wide for me but I can see that working for most body types. I love the off the shoulder cut of the top. So sexy but in an elegant and sophisticated way. The fabric is a very lightweight neoprene that feels high quality and substantial.

SIZE DOWN!
I have a muscular build with a 34C chest. I usually settle in the 2 to 4 range. In this, I was in the 0 with lots of room for movement. It has a minimalistic design with an understated draped ribbon that highlights the shape beautifully. Nothing flashy or over the top. Classic, simple, elegant. I wore this to a Christmas party and felt fantastic in it. I complimented the look with gold & pearl Kate Spade drop earrings (that I bought years ago from RTR!) with gold ankle strap shoes. Heads definitely turned.

Just not for me
I do this every once in a while- get something out of comfort zone to see if I am evolving style-wise. This jumpsuit was a step too far. I looked like an idiot in this. It is very well made and the details are incredible. It was much too long, fit great in the waist, was too voluminous in the chest, and the shoulders were a bit too narrow. I couldn’t get it off fast enough. It will look incredible on someone tall and thin. (What doesn’t!!?) I am shorter with a muscular, athletic build and this just wasn’t for me.
