Cheap feeling...

The dress felt entirely too flimsy and naked...though the latter is more my comfort and not the fault of the dress. I can't even describe how it didn't fit. It just didn't work with my body and was entirely too long. Even in the regular length, with 5 inch heels, it dragged.

Everything!

This dress is every ounce the winner. I paired it with burnt orange heels and bag to help bring out the subtle hints orange throughout. It couldn't have been a better combination for a Sunday Funday at the theatre and a birthday party. It's beautifully slimming and outlines the girls perfectly. It has a wildly feminine flare that makes you wanna twirl.

Party!

This dress is so vibrant and flattering. You can really can't beat the stretch of the fabric and the classic A-line that hides every ounce of a food baby before hitting the town. I wore it twice in a single weekend because of the compliments. So unique and comfortable.

High waistline...

The material is one of my favorites. I've ordered several pieces made of the scuba material, and ever one has been a winner. For someone with a much higher natural waist, this probably would have fit perfectly. Unfortunately for me, with a longer than average torso, it just didn't hit right. The coloring and pattern are beautiful. It didn't feel heavy or clunky. I highly recommend sizing down. I'm typically and 8 and could have easily fit into a 6 or 4 with the feel of stretch the fabric offered. In the case of sizing down, though, I always recommend getting full body shaper from Spanx. The material has a tendency to show every bra line.

So comfortable!

I can't say enough about this breezy dress. It's great on its own and I'm sure it would look killer with a pair of leather skinny jeans for a night out, or even with a pair of yoga pants for a day of running errands. The only a negative I could may point out is how slick the buttons are. There were a couple times I looked down and found some of the buttons undone. A very minor thing for such a versatile piece.

Tight in misleading places...

I love the unique print and zipper detail of this dress. However, upon putting the dress on, I discovered it's less A-line and more mini Mermaid. It's very fitted through the waist and far below, then flares out. It appears to only really be flattering for a much slimmer woman. I had hope the larger size would correct it, unfortunately it was still entirely too tight through the mid section, then gapped very strangle through the bust. It's in incredibly cool and unique dress, but only for those with a very slender, straight figure.

So perfect I bought it.

This is the ultimate in day-to-night clutch. It's soft and vibrant and perfect for any occasion. I took it out on a date and to the office the next day and got nothing but "where did you get that bag?!" I loved it so much, and had such a hard time sending it back, that I found it, bought it, and still carry it everywhere I can.

This. Dress. Is. Everything.

I rented both and 8 and 10, not knowing how the designer would fit on me. I could have comfortably worn either one, but opted for the 8 as the 10 kept falling off my shoulders. Talk about flattering! The waistline hits in the perfect spot giving incredible accentuation to the bust and minimizing the waist. I felt slim and classic...very spring time Mad Men. I will say that the material wrinkles very easily and the wrinkles are hard to get out. I both ironed and steamed it, but just couldn't make them go away. Luckily the gorgeous floral pattern hid just about all of them. Beautiful dress that's worth a spin out on the town!

Everything!!!

This dress is everything. I'm renting it to go to Ikea next Saturday. If you're under 5'7 make sure you order the regular length. It doesn't matter if you're planning to wear eleventeen inch heels. The flowing back looks ridiculous if you order the long and aren't mega tall. If this even ends up for purchase, I call dibs.

Blind melon...

This was sent as an alternate, as the size I had ordered for another jumpsuit was not available. Jumpsuits are always hard for those of us with long torsos and short legs. This one showed more promise as it has a drop waist. It doesn't ride up the crotch at all and overall has a comfortable feel. The color is a brighter more neon melon as opposed to the straight orange it appears to be in the photo. The fabric is soft and feels well made. It just wasn't for me.

Pretty but unflattering pleating...

The color is wonderful for a spring wedding. The fabric is light and airy and really perfect for any outdoor affair. The arm holes were the perfect diameter without feeling too loose, or too snug with no side boob or armpit fat peeking through. The pleating on the skirt, however, leaves a little something to be desired, as it's not very flattering on the hips and the length made me feel a bit stunted. I'm already sort of short with a longer torso. The overlay on top, paired with that distinct band at the waist was great! It made me feel slimmer in profile than standard sheath dresses normally do. However the pleating through the skirt gave me the appearance of being much much wider from a front view. This should definitely be worn with very minimal, open-toed strappy shoes. No pumps. NO wedges. Bold jewelry should also be avoided as the pleating and pattern are more than busy enough. Silver or gold would be fine, but I think rose gold makes for the best and more unique but coordinated pairing.

Intensely rich color

This dress is unbelievably pretty. The color is an incredibly rich and vibrant jewel purple. The detailing across the bust is exceptionally flatter on small and large chests. The back hits the perfect spot, allowing for a standard strapless bra. However the truly unique aspect of the dress is that sleeve. That SLEEVE! I was blown away by how beautiful and well made this dress is. Unfortunately I was also blown away by my tummy as this material is on the thin and clingy side. Ordinarily I'd thrown on some Spanx and call it a day, but the length presents a bit of an issue where shape wear is concerned. Still, this is a gorgeous dress and absolutely worth the rental for those with a more flattened mid-section.

I ordered both the 6 and 8, given the cut of the dress; a sheath style rarely works for busty woman who have been gifted with smaller waistlines.. More often than not, the boxy silhouette creates an unflattering look; making a woman appear heavier (in my case: pregnant) than she truly is. On occasion, sizing down helps, hence having given it a shot. Unfortunately, gorgeous as this dress is (especially the detail on the back for which the photo does no justice) the style was no different for me. This design is geared more toward women with more going on in the lower-back, than the upper-front, and something very toned and tight in the middle.
