Heavier fabric so glad to get it in before full on spring and summer. Adorable. A little tight in waist and shoulders.

Amazing! Adorable for everyday
Loved this dress, the sorta baggy fit with a little definition. Comfortable and a sturdy fabric without being too think. Wish it were more on sale and I'd buy it!

Wore as a pool wrap
Really feeling myself in this one- note that it's a true wrap, and the beads on the tassel have a little weight to them. I'm only 5'4" so also it was a bit long

Real cute! Real flow
Loved this, with a tiny upper body frame it definitely could fall a little too plunge neck on me, but no big deal. Good for a hot day

Fun work dress
Love a dress that needs no thought to be perfect on its own. My usual size is a 4, and I got a 6 because it was all that was available but in the end I'm glad I did. No fabric give in waist and shoulders for those who maybe run on a large (or muscular!) side of the equation. 4 would have worked but 6 is def a better fit for those reasons

Fun cut and color
Nice choice-- unfortunately I have a small frame between my waist and shoulder and needed to wear a shirt underneath.

Red Summer Work Dress
Loved it! Definitely go one size up (or if you're between sizes, just go towards the bigger one). I actually have a very small upper body frame, so I was delighted with the fit...but I get it. The style is adorable, and translated well to a summer formal work environment. Would buy it if I could afford it.

Very flattering cut for me. Loads of compliments from coworkers. Fun summer color. A little form fitting on my stomach with is my one area I try to conceal...could have worn shapewear but was too lazy and it was fine..

Just didn't work for my body type
I got a 6...usually I am a 4, but 6s are typically safe choices, especially in formal wear which seems to run small. The 6 fit and was body con in the waist and hips but I ended up swimming in the top. I do have a short torso and a 32C/D chest, so if you're also in that boat, I would beware of this fit and design. I imagine that if I had a long torso and was 5'7'' I would have rocked it!

Adorable casual dress
Cute flowy fit. Linen that will wrinkle, and a bit sheer. But such a lovely cut with feminine touches. Wore to a casual rehearsal dinner and the threw a blazer on it for work.

Comfortable and cool look
This was a fun work > happy hour dress. perfect for spring. Material is stretchy and comfy...for some reason I thought from the pictures it might be like a light jean..it isn't! Medium weight-- not good for a summer day. Great for spring. Stretchy- so could have gotten my usual 4, but I liked the slight oversize look of the 6 (which was only one available)

I have the smallest torso-- but not small enough!
Usually a 4, but the 6r was too short and the shoulders too narrow. The fabric is so comfy I was sad it didn't work for me! Not much forgiveness in the waist either...pant and hip we're good! I bet an 8 would have worked!

Perfect for the night you *can't* wear a dress
Loved this. The top was a little overwhelming with my smaller upper Body frame, but pulling my hair into an up-do really balanced it out. Length was still crop but a little longer on me than the model at 5"4'. Modest enough for a work gala but edgy enough to turn heads. Comfortable. Would rent again!

Look sharp without having to wear a suit material. I am between a 4/6 and wore the medium -- I thought it looked good, just a looser fit

well made, warm but not too heavy. Bell sleeves aren't too "bell-y" to get in the way of practically things like hand washing.

Fun work addition
Loved this one for my work rotation. I am glad I got the 6 rather than 4 only because the buttons in the front aren't just decorative...they hold the dress together, so you certainly can't have those getting tight at all. I was fine except when squatting I would pop the bottom one (revealing nothing!) This left be a fair bit of room in the chest, but it still looked perfect.

Wore as a coat on mild winter days
So so warm! really not the most cute in a structured style sense, but cute in a cozy sense. enjoyed for a couple days, but too heavy to be a sweater and too thin to be an actual coat so didn't keep it as long as anticipated.

Pretty and unique at work
I loved this cut. Sadly, I should have gone one size down-- I am usually between a 4/6 and should have gotten a 36 rather than a 38. Just a little shapeless on me, but still wearable!

Pretty but tough for short waisted, small frame
I wish this worked but unfortunately, the top was just too big for my little frame. The small wouldn't have worked because it was the right width around the midsection, but I was just showing too much on top. Beware if you have a petite upper body!

Fit nicely- usually a 4/6 so often between a S/M and this was perfect. Higher quality than I was expecting. I have a high waist and this fit at my natural line. Work appropriate

Cute sweater--- just the right amount of accent
Got brand new. The white "waves" bring in a very cool amount of detail. Definitely a "dressy" work appropriate sweater material, but plan to wear it again over the weekend too. Medium weight. Honestly, the material isn't the most comfortable...not scratchy, but would prefer to wear a long sleeve under it.

Form fitting but thicker knit look
I really loved the shape of this- I have a short waist, and this worked surprisingly well. Definitely had a form fit over my stomach, so thankful for control top! Also, had a lot of shape in the rear. Be careful depending on the work environment you have!

OK work dress - a little short and tight
This is just a little too tight and a little too short to be a great work dress. at 5'4'' I wanted it to come down just an inch more. I did fine with a cardigan over it, but at that point you lose some of the flare of the ruffle and it's just an ordinary work dress that maybe hugs a little too much. Just OK with it as a style

Light but kept me warm. The lace is see-through so need a tank.. or be bold! Definitely larger fit, but still worked. Wore twice other the weekend and with a pencil skirt to work on Monday.

Beautiful work tote
Really large and pretty work tote. Slouchy feel but beautiful leather color that still keeps it formal enough for work. Dare I say almost too large?! I had to remind myself not to over fill it this AM so it wouldn't get too heavy. No zip top, so not great for inclement weather. One built in pocket that zips-- perfect for keys, lip balm, etc. Will keep for a couple weeks to enjoy.

Bright!
Fun end of summer dress. More casual material, but still wore to work. Fun flow to it. Fit true to size, probably would have been ok in a 4 but I'm always cautious and size up when front buttons are involved (usually a 4/6).

Really pretty and easy to wear. Fit true to size...though as a 4/6 I was happy with medium (not small). I don't think I have a big butt, but I was surprised how short it felt in the back!

Not blending in in this one!
Fun summer choice true to size/a little smaller...between a 4/6 and happy I got a 6, but maybe the 4 wold have been OK? Probably best I have narrow hips giving the front pleat. Enjoyed for the day - comfortable and pockets, but def a one-hit-wonder.
