Length is a little awkward on a short person
This wasn't particularly flattering. The length hit my legs at an awkward place so I didn't end up wearing it.
Cardamom Sweater Dress

Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 6

Classic work dress
Nice silhouette, neckline (not too low). This is a staple - I've ordered it in navy, green, and blush!

So comfortable, soft and flattering
I ordered the size 3 UK, and am usually a 4 or 6 in US sizes. The pockets are a great bonus, the dress is so flattering and soft. I'm smaller on top, so the waist area hung a little too loose and the dress seemed slightly too big (which surprised me given the size), so I'm planning to order one size smaller to see if it fits my upper body a little better. But I think this size could have worked anyway. It's a great summer work dress that could be paired with black pumps and a black blazer.
Adalad Dress

Usual Size: 6

True to size---simple and classic work dress, nice length
I ordered the size 8, not wanting it to be too tight or short for work, but that size was too large for me. The openings for the arms were gaping and the dress was shapeless. However, I like the overall simple lines of the dress, the color, and material, so I'm planning to order it in a 6. I'm typically a 4 or 6 depending on the designer, so I'd recommend to order your regular size with this one.

Cute, but runs a little small for Trina Turk dresses
I didn't end up wearing this size (4), which is usually my size in Trina Turk. The color and style are great, so I'm going to try a size 6 to see if the fit is a little better.
Indra Dress

Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 133lbs

Great transitional dress from day to night
Wore this to give a speech and wore a black blazer with it and then without the blazer for a party that evening. Great fit and flattering neckline.
Emerald Sheath

Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 133lbs
Bust: 34B
Classic fit in a muted red, great for a work event or presentation
I really liked this dress. I'm usually a size 4 or 6. The 6 was maybe slightly on the bigger side, but it still looked fine, and for work I would prefer it to be too big than too tight anyway. I received many compliments on this dress. I wore it for a presentation and felt very comfortable. It doesn't wrinkle easily and is a thicker material.
Diamante Dress

Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 133lbs

Flattering fit, can be dressed up or down
I really like this dress. The length is nice. It's on the slightly thinner side but the pattern and cut is flattering. I wore it for Easter Sunday and it was really comfortable all day.
Olive Blair Dress
Hutch
Size Worn: SR
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 133lbs
Bust: 34B
Flattering fit, comfortable and thick fabric
I really liked this dress. I had planned to wear it to give a speech but felt that the V neckline was a little too deep. But it was still professional and flattering, so I wore it to conduct interviews.
