STYLIST REVIEW!
This is such a unique and fun style for the summer! I love the color and the funky scarf style. The fabric has a lot of stretch, but it is fitted along the midsection and hips so I would recommend sizing up for backup. This style is best for anyone with a smaller bust as it does have a deep V-neck. This dress can easily be paired with nude heels and bracelets or earrings to complete the perfect look!

This is a great professional look with some edge! I love the pattern and unique design around the waist. The fabric doesn't have a lot of stretch and the style is fitted at the bust and natural waist, so I would recommend sizing up for backup. This can either be a classic look or funky work style with the right accessories. Either pearls or a statement necklace would be great to complete this look!

This is a great professional look for the spring and summer seasons! The dress is truly a classic silhouette and the fabric has stretch and is also extremely comfortable. This style does run large, so I would recommend getting a size down for backup. I love the detail of the zippers of this style and you can use this detail to compliment the perfect accessories. Adding some classic silver bracelets and earrings would definitely complete this look!

This is a great comfortable style for either a daytime or night event! I love the sleeves, as they make the style unique. The fabric has stretch and is just fitted at the bust. For anyone with a full bust or hourglass body type, I would suggest getting a size up for backup. Overall, the dress has a flowing silhouette and can be dressed up or down with fun bracelets and hanging earrings!

This is a great classic style with a feminine touch! This dress does run true to size, however it is fitted at the bust and around the natural waist because of the detailed design of the style. For anyone with a full bust or hourglass body type, I would recommend getting a size up for backup as the fabric has very little stretch. This is the perfect style for a summer wedding or daytime event. You can easily dress this style up with nude heels for a formal affair or dress it down with sandals for a beach event!

STYLIST REVIEW!
This is a great classic style with a twist! The minor cutouts add edge to this look. This dress is fitted throughout the bust mostly and slightly fitted in the midsection and hips as well. The fabric has some stretch but I would suggest choosing a size up for backup if you have a hourglass or full bust body type. This is a great conservative style for a professional event or semi-casual wedding. You can easily dress this style up with a statement necklace and heels!

This style is classic with a modern twist! I love the white and black pattern combination. The fabric doesn’t have a lot of stretch, but the style has a comfortable fit along the midsection. This style can be tight along the bust, as there is no stretch in the fabric. Therefore, I would recommend sizing up for backup. Pairing this style with funky black and white accessories will complete this look for the perfect day or night event!

This style is a unique formal dress with a detailed halter including beading. The fit is loose and can be great for a variety of different body types. This dress is a high-low style, slightly fitted along the bust line but extremely loose around the midsection and hips. This can be a great dress for prom or a summer wedding! Pairing this style with simple earrings and funky bracelets will complete this look.

This style is extremely comfortable and a great day event style. The detail at the bottom and along the back is truly unique. This dress is fitted at the bust and in the waist area, however the full skirt allows for a looser fit.

STYLIST REVIEW!
This is one of my favorite styles on the site! The shade of yellow is so elegant and the fabric is extremely comfortable and has a lot of stretch. This dress is fitted specifically throughout the bust, midsection and hips so I would recommend sizing up for backup. Considering the tight fit of this style, I would also recommend this dress for anyone with a smaller bust. The slit on the side is also a great accent and you can easily be the spotlight of a formal event with this dress and a great pair of heels!

This dress is stunning - I love the gold and lace detail! The style is fitted, especially throughout the midsection and hip area, however super comfortable as the fabric has some stretch. The bust area is extremely fitted and I would recommend sizing up if you have a full bust or an hourglass shape. This would be a great option for a formal event - night or day. Gold accessories and shoes would be perfect to complete this look!

This is a great and super comfortable jumpsuit! This style is fitted around the waist area, however the fabric has some stretch.

I really love this style! The mix of solid colors and patterns makes this dress truly unique.The style is overall fitted, especially in the waist area. The bust area is form fitting as well but has some stretch in the fabric and is therefore great for all bust sizes. The skirt is a straight style, so if you are curvy I would recommend sizing up. I love how most of the detail is towards the bottom so it's easy to pair this dress with a necklace - from pearls to a trendy statement necklace. This is a great summer dress for a fun day event!

I love this unique modern silver style! The cut out in the front and partially open back compliments this look a lot. This style is fitted and the fabric does not have a lot of stretch. I would recommend this style for a smaller cup size as the bust area is fitted. I would also recommend sizing up if you are curvy as this style is extremely form fitting in the hip area as well. The dress can easily be both classic or trendy with different accessories. This is the perfect dress for a night out!

This is such a unique formal style! I love the flow of the skirt, however it is fitted around the natural waist and top. I would recommend this style for a smaller cup size considering both the fit and the heavy material with the detail at the top. If you have a full bust, I would recommend sizing up for this reason. The flow of the skirt is great for both straight and pear shape body types. I think the color combination is fun and makes it so unique. You can easily pair this style with a trendy pair of earrings to complete the look!

I loved this style! This dress is so unique and is a cross between classic and edgy. I absolutely love the sheer open back detail and the color combination of white and black. I would recommend this style for smaller cup sizes as there is very little stretch in the bust area and a completely open back. The detail at the waist doesn't allow for much stretch either but is not extremely form fitting. I would also recommend sizing up if you are pear shaped or concerned about the fit in the hip area. This is a great and youthful formal gown that can be paired with minimal accessories to compliment the amazing design.

This is such a fun dress and the design is one-of-a-kind! The top and natural waist are both fitted and the flare of the skirt adds to the fun style of the dress. This dress definitely makes a statement and can be worn to a variety of events. The design of the back also adds to the style with a partially open back accented with bows, making this style unique from all sides. You can easily choose any color from the design and wear a solid colored pair of heels to complete the look!

This style is a great summer look! The detail of the design is amazing and the open back adds some edge to the style. I love the full skirt, however it is fitted in the midsection. The bust area is comfortable, however the dramatic open back doesn't allow for a regular or strapless bra. I would suggest this style for smaller cup sizes and to wear a backless bra, This would be a great dress for a summer day event. You can pair this dress with red, cream or nude heels to complete the perfect look!

This dress is so fun! I love the color and the material is very stretchy. This style runs large, so I would recommend choosing a smaller size for back up.

This is a great style for a casual night out. The fabric is light and comfortable. I would recommend choosing a size smaller as a backup size, as it does run large. This is also a great bump-friendly style as it is not fitted at all. The cut-out at the top is fun and makes the style unique. This is a great style to dress up with heels or dress down with flats or boots.
