Not meant for curvier hips.
I love the color but was not able to wear this. Runs Very small and could not button it at the hips.

Pretty in Pink
Love the sintle himts of color and the flow of this dress. Being curvier on the bottom half, I knew to size down so that it wasn't too wide. Even then, I threw a belt on it to help bring the waistline in.

Head turning pattern /color
This skirt was styled casually, but refeiged many compliments for its bold color and subtle pattern. The buttons do separate when walking/sitting, but nothing a safety pin can't fix.

Walk in and make a statement!
This dress fit like a glove. I'm curvier in the hips and based on reviews I was nervous to order my size because of the fabric not having any stretch. I am so glad I took my chances. The only part that was a tad frustrating was the elastic in the off shoulder sleeve. There is not a channel for the fabric around the elastic to stay steady so i often found myself adjusting it as the inside fabric folded over.
Laced Cocktail Dress

All wrapped up with a bow
This dress definitily hugs all the curves, but if you are uncomfortable with your mid section I do not reccomend this dress as it accentutates it. I styled it layered to help distract from my mid section. Other than that, it was a hit for the holidays.

Comfort and style
Usually when I think of sequin, I recall all of my itchy past experiences. Not in this dress. So comfy, fits well and you don't have to be concerned for the flow of the sequin. Felt like I had on a fancy tshirt, best feeling!

Definitely made a statement.
This dress is stunning! I had girls screaming out of their car sayig how much they loved it. If you are a curvy gal, just keep in mind that the fabric does not give. I was snug in an 8, but the 10 was too lose on top for my frame.

It's like wearing art.
The shirt is definitely warm and if you plan for a walk through the city, you will warm up quickly. It's an amazing piece to style though.

The songs received compliments everywhere I turned. Def a statement piece.
The pants to run small, if you tend to be wider in the hips I'd size up one.

The Details of this dress are to die for.
From the detailed overlay, the ruffles, the cut... I received so many compliments in this dress. It's stunning! I would've been a little more concerned if I wore larger than my C cup, I would be concerned with overflowing, but other than that this dress is STUNNING.

Such a comfy dress that can be worn casually or with a pair of heels.
This dress was true to size and I really couldn't find any cons. Roll up the sleeves, throw on some white sneaks and /or a denim jacket for a causal daytime look. throw on some heels and a clutch for an evening look.

Beautiful dress, amazing detail... but if you're mid-section is a concern, size up.
I wasn't able to wear this dress as the mid section was a little too tight for comfort.

The Sleeves!
If you need a white dress that sticks out amongst a sea of white... this dress wins. I wore this dress for an event where everyone wore whites d was excited to have been the only one wearing it. It is shorter than I usually wear, but sizing up didn't work because the fabric would bubble in certain spots. Slip underneath is not attached near seam, so it does rise up and bunch. I received tons of compliments!

Beautiful top!
Pictures don't do this top justice. The form, the fabric, the details.... its beautiful and can easily transition from day to night.

Comfiest pants!
I was instantly lured in by the vibrant colors and pattern of the pants, but they are mega comfortable as well. I am curvier, so for a lose fit I would've sized up one so that the pants weren't so form fitted around the hips.

Classy enough for comfort, modern enough for style.
This dress had me at the side ties. I struggle with finding comfy, flowy dresses that don't square up the width of my hips. It was the perfect length for my height & I absolutely loved the detail of the pleats in the back.

I love the subtle pop of color this bag added to my look with the fun tassels.
With the strap being removable, bag was perfect for transition from that Mom running after a toddler to a dinner date/party with my husband. It's soft leather and big enough to fit all of your necessities.
