Giving bridesmaid
Very bridesmaid style - straight fit, satin finish, champagne color, slit on the side... Absolutely hated the fit. Tight on the tummy and hips, and it ran small to begin with. Shows everything and does not flatter anyone with the slightest of hips (I am NOT curvy). The color is very bridesmaid champagne. For straight, thin people, only.

Classic red dress with a little flair
Rented for a holiday party - great, classic choice, which was what I wanted. The sleeves are really fun. Runs SMALL. ZERO give in this dress, particularly in the middle waist, so recommend sizing up. Didn't wrinkle (plus!) and stayed put all night.

Fun dress if you're young
Too big up top and boxy on the bottom. The dress sizing just wasn't right on my body shape - it would be great if you were very slim or very curvy. The fabric was sort of a stretchy plastic feeling fabric, with a flat shine to it. It's a great dress but too young for me.

Could not get enough of this dress!
Runs a little small, mostly because there's no stretch. But my gosh, I have never had so many compliments. The dress was really comfortable, short but didn't ride up, and very flattering. It looks more pink than purple. Total hit for a birthday at a night club.

Pretty dress, big on top
Really pretty dress with a fun but not too flashy color. Unfortunately the top was too big and I would've been the flash if I had worn it. I suspect if I had sized down it would've been too small in the hips.

Fun and sophisticated party dress
Fun and modern feeling party dress - felt stylish and polished without the sequins feeling too young. Wore it to a show at Carnegie Hall and it was perfect - it made a statement without being too much. The skirt has a liner so the sequins don't catch, but it does make it twist a bit at times. The tie is SUPER long but I thought it made the dress fun. There's not much stretch on the top so I'd say this is very true to size/a bit small if you're the bigger end of the size.

Fun, flirty and comfortable
Great fabric - thick stretchy material that smoothes to your curves and doesn't wrinkle. The color is perfect for a wedding - formal without being too showy or too matchy with bridesmaids. Danced in it all night long!

Not impressive
I usually love Tory Burch but this one failed to impress. Fabric is really soft and sleeves are fun, but it runs large and is shapeless. Length is to the knee but the dress itself just hangs. I am not sure if sizing down would've helped or if this one just is cut for comfort not style.

Not as pictured
Waist is too tight. Skirt length is shorter than on model (2" above knee) and material looks more like plastic than faux leather. Not worth it.

Classic, flattering style
Great thick fabric - nice and warm for winter. Pockets!!! The front and back seams are stitched to flatter. Dress wrinkles more than I thought, but it was worth it. Tons of compliments on my "power dress" from colleagues at my conservative workplace. Not returning this anytime soon.

Beautiful skirt, narrow waist
Material is a beautiful gold pleather. The pleating is perfect and it fell at my knees. Unfortunately the waist is narrow. This would fit an hourglass shape perfectly but not someone without a small waist.
