Elegant/covered up
Good for work party or anywhere you have to be more covered up. No give to the dress and it's better to err on the side of too large.

Fun dress with nipped-in waist
The dress felt very 50s, and had a very defined waist with a wrap bust to emphasize your waist even more. I really liked the structure of the waist and the way the skirt puffed out without using any boning. And there were pockets! The material itself was much lighter than I thought it would be. Typically dresses like this are a heavy satin or polyester and this one felt like cotton. The one drawback was the shoulders. It's a bit off the shoulder but there are no straps to hook your bra into. Standing up, it was fine, but when I sat down, the straps slipped off my shoulders some and there was gaping at the front. If you've got a shorter torso or you're petite, I'd recommend using fashion tape to stick the dress to your bra strap and the top of your bra cups when you sit.

Cute, comfortable romper
Wore a size 6, maybe could've gone down a size. It was comfortable and had pockets. The ruffles were a little larger than I'd like. It didn't look like a romper, more like a dress.

Unusual dress
The dress was for an Edwardian themed party. It's somewhat unusual and looks better in person than in photos. Fit was fine, not mich stretch to the dress.

Dress was a bit too big and didn't have much shape to it.
Fits large, somewhat shapeless.

Uhh I'm keeping it
Rented this for an event. I previously rented the black version and I liked the red one just as much. It's made of a thick material and has a lining. You can't really wear a bra because of the cutouts. It's not too tight and I like that it has a zip all the way up the back so you don't have to maneuver yourself into it.

Unusual dress, but the neckline felt weird
This dress was so unusual and cool looking, I wanted to love it, but the neckline was too high. I felt like I was being strangled. It cut right across the bottom of my neck. Maybe my torso is too short?

Fun dress with pockets
The material is a bit shiny which isn't obvious from the photos, so that makes it too fancy for some occasions. There are pockets! There is some boning in the top, so no bra required, but it can dig in if the dress is on the smaller side for you.

A jacket that stands out
A nice jacket for a formal event. It really stood out for its color and it was fun wearing a cape. It's pretty warm though obviously there are giant gaps in it for your arms. Parents thought I looked like little red riding hood, but I got a lot of compliments from other women.

Comfy and slightly edgy
This dress was very comfortable. It had fun details with the mesh inserts, but wasn't too over the top. I included a truly terrible photo but the dress looks better in real life and I got a few compliments on it from random women in the bathroom...

Very game of thrones-y
This was a cool necklace. Got a few compliments. It lay very well. A bit heavy after a few hours.

Great in photos
Fit well, had a little give. Too low cut to wear with normal bra
Red Visions Skater Dress

Size Worn: S

Great in photos
This dress fit well, but was a little too low cut to wear a normal bra. Slight give to the material with a flattering silhouette. Looked good in person, but probably even better in photos

Usual Size: 4

Cute details but a weird cut
The dress fit fine but the sleeve cut outs were a little weird/tight. It's sort of like a racer back front as well as back so normal bra/racer back doesn't work. The material is pretty thick/stiff, which I wasn't expecting. Got compliments on the color/lace detailing
Blue Magnolia Cut Out Dress

Surprisingly comfortable sequins
Fit true to size. I could've gone with 2 or 4 but picked 4 because I'd probably be eating a ton. The sequins didn't feel scratchy or bother me, which was a plus, because some sequined dresses can be irritating. Very sparkly! The dress is fitted but not that thick tight stretch material so you can actually move around.
Gold Tulip Dress

Nice cinched waist, plus pockets
Fit relatively true to size, I usually wear a 2 or 4 and a 4 fit well. There's a liner and the material of the dress itself isn't too thin. It's got a full circle skirt so it'll blow up a little in the breeze but the material is heavy enough that I'm not too worried. You'll need a racer back bra or something similar.
Circle Dress

So many compliments
It fit well. British sizing! I've never received so many compliments on a dress from other women. It's not totally clear from the photos but the dress is actually very sheer due to the pattern/mesh and the skirt part wraps but is not all connected so you have to be a bit careful how you sit.

Fit well, interesting pattern
Wore a size 4, fit well, maybe a teeny bit loose. The material was textured
Orange Floral Jess Dress
SALONI
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 4

Lots of stretch, easy to move in
the mesh area went up a little high so sometimes you could see the bottom of my bra (not sure if my measurements are up-to-date in the profile, so it should say 5'3", 123 lbs, 32B/C, petite)

Got lots of compliments, beware the inner corseting
The dress looks great in person, someone stopped me on a street corner to demand to know where she could get it. It's great for spring. I ordered a 6 and 8 and both fit fine, though the 6 was more flattering. A warning though, the inner corset thing is no joke. I fastened the inner bit then couldn't get it off without someone's help. I don't really think you need to fasten the inner strap. The dress isn't the most comfortable if you have to be sitting because the boning will hit you in the waist.

Great necklace
It's heavy, but not too heavy and not too sparkly. As subtle as a big gold chain necklace can get.

The dress is great and pretty forgiving but runs a bit small on top
Generally true to size, but the very top of the dress is small. I usually wear a 4-6, and while the 6 otherwise fit me, the top wouldn't button, so I ended up wearing an 8. There's a bit of boning in the bust. The dress is more of an orange-red than a true red.
