Fun pop of color for art opening
Wore this bright jacket to an art opening. It kept me warm and helped transition my all black work wear to something fun enough for a party.

Versatile jumpsuit for tall ladies
YAY IT DOESN'T GIVE ME CAMEL TOE! Compliments abound - my friends have encouraged me to buy this, strangers in cafes, in stores, walking down the street have all stopped me to ask where I got this. I always wear it with a belt, and can dress it down with woven sandals or up with heels and an updo. Breezy enough for warm temps, but half sleeves keep you warm at night.

Great print. What to do with my boobs?
This is a hard top to review - the print / fabric are SO great, and I love the hi-low cut from the front to the back. I even had a stranger compliment me on this shirt in a store. But I really struggled to figure out what to do with my boobs in it - I wore a Nu Bra one day, but the top is flowy enough that it didn't really help with support and so it felt like they were just swinging around. (I'm only 34 and they're not THAT big, but it was moderately uncomfortable.) Another time, I wore the top with a bra that had a more decorative strappy back, and that didn't really look right either. So, I don't know, would love to see what others solutions are.

Great dress for playing tourist in!
Wore this dress to visit some art galleries on a vacation. It was wonderful - I didn't feel too hot, it was nice and flowy, and was able to style it both casual and dressy depending on where we were. One issue was the button-holes around the waist were really loose, and occasionally a button or two would open. If I hadn't worn black biker shorts under the dress I would have been showing a little bit of my underwear, so I would consider taking the same precautionary measures!

Fun graphic element
This dress is great! The top is cut a little bit conservative, but the flounce in the skirt and the pattern make up for it. I was able to wear it to a casual wedding and had fun dancing all night. I'm 5'10" and was concerned about the length initially, but as long as you're aware and not bending over to pick up things from the floor you'll be fine.

Nice for a sunny day!
Wore this dress on a trip to visit friends - it happened to be a lovely sunny day and this was the perfect dress for it. There were nice deep pockets for my phone, it was comfortable to sit on a picnic blanket in, and I was able to go bra-less but still felt supported. It was a little snug at the waist, but at no point did it feel uncomfortable. I was out drinking with friends later in the night and had my back to the door, and a group of ladies walking by popped in just to tell me how great the back of my dress was! The only negative is that the back straps - right where they attach to the dress - are not well constructed. It's like they need an extra reinforcement stitch that simply isn't there, and as a result they were starting to pull and fray. I was able to fix with a little safety pin, but I wish the dress had just been made better. Oh - and it's a magnet for pet hair, beware of that!

Curve-hugging but somehow slimming?!
This dress rules! I have such wide hips that I'm usually hesitant to wear anything so tight, but the material and the flare of the tulip skirt made my curves work for me and was actually pretty flattering. The knit makes it so you can dress this up or down a little, as you like.

Nice, light & casual
Loved the print, the fit was a little baggy, overall not an outstanding dress. Great for a bbq on a hot day or other casual event.

Color + sparkle
I like these because they have a bit of an edge to them. The photos online really don't do justice to the aqua color of the gems at the post - great, deep color. A little heavier on my ear than expected - towards the end of the night I was eager to take them off, but I'm willing to forgive the weight because they looked great.

Dressy-casual with a slim waist
Wore these to fancy-up a brunch with my lady friends. We went for pedicures afterwards and these were PERFECT - kept me decent, but were short enough that I didn't have pants to roll up! I wore these with a crop top - the high-cut waist meant that no skin was showing. I'm a true pear - pretty large hips and butt, but tiny waist, and the other reviews are true - this waist is really tight, I had one painful encounter with the zipper so beware. The nice thing about that is it really accents my small waist.

Lovely structure & cut, not great for tall ladies w/ big hips
The color is fantastic - somewhere between taupe and a pale dusty pink. The fabric is really soft, but thick enough to lay smoothly, and I loved the structured cut of the dress. I'm pretty tall, but because of my body shape I declined to wear this dress because it rode up too short for me in the front (the back is completely fine, very modest length.) If you're roughly the same height but without wide hips / large butt, or are shorter but DO have a booty, this dress will probably be fine for you.

The Straight Nude Dress

Casual, modern shift
I rented the UK size 14 (which was listed on my tag as a US 10- the sizing chart online is off), but could have gone with a UK 12 or 10, easily. Which is to say - this dress really does run big. I'm typically a US size 10, and it bunched up on me when I sat and was really loose at the waist and armpits. But I loved the brownish-mustard color, and the white accent piece at the back of the dress is a nice detail.
