Elegant but uncomfortable work dress
Very stylish dress with a bit of a unique look. Can easily go from work to cocktails. Wore with black nylons and black pumps. However it was pretty uncomfotable. The top isnt connected to the skirt/bottom in the back and I think this causes the skirt portion to ride up as you walk. I was pulling it down all day. I dont think it was a fit issue because it laid nicely and didnt look or feel too tight or loose anywhere.

Fun spring skirt for work
Very flattering snug fit. The material is thick enough that it is slimming but it doesnt have endless stretch. I am 5'8" and it did hit at my leg in a spot that made it a bit uncomfortable to walk. Was still manageable but just a bit restricting.

Wore for a presentation
Was a very pretty color. The hems are unfinished which wasn't my favorite look. Also too big and a bit boxy but I was able to make it work for one day. Wouldn't rent again.

Didn't wear
Rented the Small, fit fine in the chest and shoulders but I am fairly narrow and the butt area was enormous. It bloused out below the hips and just didn't look very flattering at all so was sent back.

Didn't wear
Fit was too tight and the dress was short on me. Sent it back unfortunately. Also, I thought in person it didn't look as glamorous as it does in some of the photos.

Everyday, dinner post yoga
Was a little tight under the arms, but is very short. More of a crop style. I paired with highwaisted jeans and it barely covered. Not my favorite look but worked for a relaxed night with a friend.

Everyday sweater, wore to dinner with family.
This is fairly thin/fine material, so not a heavyweight sweater, but because of this it lays very nicely. The arm cut outs are classy and not cheesy because of the fit around the arm. The color is soft and pretty and it fit just right. The only comment I would make on fit is that it doesn't flare at the bottom, which works for a straight or narrow figure, but if you have more booty it might stretch or be tight or right up around your behind.

Friday evening out
Wanted something cute and fun but warm enough for winter. Love the detail and the style.Was very tight across the chest despite the fact that I'm not very busty. Also hard to get on because of the tightness. I had to keep it zipped all the way up to about 2 inches from the top and pull it over my head because it was too tight for me to reach around and zip up. However, once it was on it was really cute and the tightness actually fell above my bust line so wasn't uncomfortable. Was very cute and wore twice.

Everyday work to dinner dress.
Rented for everyday, work to evening. I am 5'8", 130 and not very busty. Dress was long despite my height and I couldn't have worn without some heel. It also ran a bit large, a lot of excess fabric. Paired with a knee high brown suede boot and brown tights. Overall was not my favorite look but nice for something a bit different than my go to jeans and blouse. I bet this dress would look great on girls with an hourglass figure.

The colors on this didn't pop as much as I hoped, they were kind of a drab white and camel.
This flares at the bottom which is hard to tell in the picture. It wasn't flattering on me.

I loved the drapery style and simple stripes.
This is a midriff shirt which I didn't realize when I ordered it. It is cute if that is what you want but shouldn't be included in the work section.

New Year's Eve wedding for the ages!
The dress was beautiful and I loved the slimming yet still body hugging fit. The sequins are beautiful but they do start to irritate under your arms if you are dancing a lot. The regular is not particularly long - I am 5'7" or so and wore a fairly short heel and still had floor space. The fit was just right. The color is more charcoal gray than it looks on the model, which to me looks a bit mauve/purple.
