Gorgeous form fitting dress
Flattering dress that runs true to size (I've found this brand to usually run large). It doesn't stretch at all so even though it fits perfectly standing up, it became restrictive after sitting for a few hours.

Cute but small on top
Super cute dress but too small in the bust and arms (I'm larger there) so it wasn't wearable. Bust area may have run a little small but arms were definitely very small with no stretch.

Fun dress
This was a fun casual dress to wear. It reminds me of something Ms. Frizzle would wear in her off time. I was skeptical it would be very flattering but the reviews convinced me to try it and I'm glad I did. Usually I'm a large 16 and rented the 14 in this which worked, but a 12 probably would have been better.

The underdog of my order
Didn't have super high expectations for this dress but it wound up being my favorite and I kept it for a month. Fiance loved it immediately. It can be dressed up or down but I loved it with a trenchcoat and booties. Would have absolutely bought it if it didn't pill so easily. It's pretty lightweight so would be better in summer or warmer climates.

Expensive looking - received a ton of compliments
Got a ton of compliments on this at a work gala. Conservative-ish while still form fitting, it was perfect for a work event. A lot of people said it looked expensive and designer.

Cute, nothing special
I don't think was unflattering, just a little blah. Didn't seem very high quality but the fit was ok. Arms were a little small.

Great dress
Great form fitting fall dress. Spanx not optional unfortunately.

Shorter than expected--nothing special
This was a nice enough dress but the fit wasn't spectacular and it was shorter than I expected. I'm only 5'8" and because of the length my fiancé thought this was a going out dress, not a work dress. It hit a few inches above the knee standing up.

Should have listened to other reviewers.
Everything the other reviewers said was right--runs way too big, arms are super long. I ignored them at my own peril because it was cute online. It's also too short for work on me at 5'8". It could be cute on a shorter person who actually had the right size.

Drapes beautifully, don't love the fabric
This was a little large on me but the drape was gorgeous, and this style of dress doesn't usually look great on me. Material seemed cheap, my only complaint.

Finishing touches with the fabric make dress a little weird.
Surprisingly fitted in the midsection and hips for how large it was on top (and I have broad shoulders and a large chest). I liked it but my fiance pointed out that the folds, which he though was just the dressed bunched up at first, on the back "draw attention" to that area. Looked good with black tights and booties.
