More beautiful than pictures
This dress is even prettier and more detailed than you can tell from the pictures. Unfortunately it runs very small. Consider sizing up at least one, maybe two sizes.

Great bridal shower dress!
I wore this for the bridal shower held by my family. I got many compliments and the dress felt very high quality. I sized up and still wore spanx because the fabric does show every bump. But it's beautiful!

This dress runs smaller than other items by the same designer. Unfortunately, I couldn't wear it.
I'll try again with a "size up"

Cute, but short dress
I didn't end up wearing this in my usual Eloquii size (18-20). It was just too short and fitted for me to wear to work. I may try to size up.

Fun summer dress
I tried this since a number of reviews said it ran big. It's very stretchy, so with spanx it might have looked cute. But I felt like I was too "lumpy & bumpy."

Too small. Couldn't get it on.
I generally wear an 18 top and a 20 bottom. I rented the size 22, as I know many designers run small. Despite sizing up, I couldn't even get this on. :(

Perfect dress for a fun dinner
I thought this dress was a lot of fun. It's short, though, so best be confident in your legs!

Bachelorette party in black
I rented this for a bachelorette party where all of the girls had to wear black. Unfortunately I didn't get any great pictures of me standing alone. The dress doesn't have stretch so I sized up. Ultimately I should've just ordered my usual size, as the top part was definitely too big. I loved the dress overall. Just order your usual size.

Great summer work dress
This dress is heavier than I thought it would be. It is nicely lined without being too hot. It just helped the dress lay well and not be see-through. I wore it for work and dressed it up with a black blazer when I went to an important meeting.

Super comfy
I had to wear this with a cami underneath, as it was not appropriate for work otherwise. But it was comfortable and cute.

Pretty dress. Bad coloring for me.
This dress was definitely form fitting but it was a really fun style. Unfortunately the color of the dress just didn't look good with my skin tone.

Birthday dinner dress
I wore this for my 40th birthday dinner. The dress is beautiful but hard to see the detail in the pics. I sized up because I was afraid it would be really tight. Though the dress was fitted, it wasn't tight. I'd order my regular size next time.

Skin Tight Sausage Casing
Unfortunately I couldn't wear this dress. It was way too tight, even with shapewear and even after sizing up.

Sassy and Classy
I sized up on this dress and I'm glad I did. It's fitted without much give. But it was beautiful and very flattering. By sizing up, it was a perfect fit!

Comfy red dress
This was the perfect summer Red dress. Very breathable and comfy. Would be nice with a jacket in cooler months too.

Gorgeous classy dress
I wore this for work, though it could easily work for an event. Beautiful fabric that hung well. It doesn't have much "give," so if you're hippy at all, I'd size up.

Lightweight beautiful shirt
Tons of compliments. Beautiful shirt to wear to work. Tight across the shoulders/ arms. I would size up.

Very flattering for a curvy figure
Loved this dress. The color is beautiful and the way it flatters a curvy figure is fantastic. Highly recommend.
Knotted Ellis Dress
Of Mercer
Size Worn: 20W
Usual Size: 20

Loved the color
The fit is snug. Need to be pretty body confident and/ or wear a lot of shape wear to wear this. My only real complaint is that the armholes are really large, so any traditional bra shows through.

Couldn't wear it
This was really big. I couldn't wear it. Had to return it.

Summer casual
This is a cute summer top perfect for brunch, a day out with friends, or a casual date. The shoulder straps were a little long on me, though well placed. I wore a strapless bra, but with some artful fashion tape work, you could probably wear a regular bra. Lightweight fabric that is NOT see through. But with multiple layers of fabric, it was "heavier" than I expected for a summer shirt.
