Runs large!
Runs very large! It's also quite cropped so if you're tall, it's likely to hit you quite high. I'm usually a M/L but needed a small, and being tall, couldn't make it work without an undershirt which took away from the look.

Sexy but Professional
This too is great for a work day when you're going on a date or to happy hour after. I'm not busty, so the neckline was still appropriate, but you could easily put a black tank under it for the office. It hits right at the hips, so you'll want high waisted jeans with it for the most coverage.

Fun, Flirty Top
Super cute for a casual Spring weekend. Like others, I still wore a regular bra and just pulled it down on my back, and it was totally fine. The fabric wrinkles easily but I didn't feel that detracted from the look. Rather boxy and billowy, but not in an unflattering way.

Fabulous Details
LOVED this look. The details of this shirt are amazing. The fabric is partially see through so I wore it with a black tank for work and took that off to keep wearing it for the evening. It's a boxy fit, so I tucked it in to slim it down. All in, it looks high fashion but still works for more casual wear.
Floral Sleeve Detail Blouse

A little too bulky
The back is very pretty, but I found the material to be too bulky. The thickness means no Spanx are needed as the other reviews say, but I also thought it added a few pounds to my shape. I have broader shoulders and the cut of the sleeves wasn't very flattering on me either. I think it's a better look on bustier shapes as it would even out the front with the back. All in all it's a pretty dress, but it wasn't the one for me and my hourglass/curvier on bottom than top shape!

Very sparkly and fun!
I ended up wearing a simpler dress but this was a good backup! It does fit snug around the waist but it's very flattering if you're curvy as it flares out on bottom. I'm not very busty, and it was fitted on me so it's best for average to flatter girls. Very pretty though and the jewels in the shoulders are a very fun statement!
Shimmering Tulip Dress

Perfect edgy look!
These earrings give a dress an edgy look without going too extreme. They are a decent size and make a statement with an updo yet blend in well with hair down while still standing out. I wore them with a simple long black dress to a cocktail attire evening wedding - they dressed the look down vs flashy jewelry so I could get away with a more formal dress. It was perfect. Definitely recommend them!

Felt like a model!
This dress is simple but it fits like a glove and flattering for any occasion. It runs true to size for formal dresses, slightly smaller than day-to-day clothes. I'm carrying a bit of extra weight and was looking for something that still made me feel glamorous despite that. This was perfect! It's very flattering for an hourglass shape. I'm curvy on bottom and flatter on top but this could work for any kind of curves. I was most comfortable with Spanx on but others would probably be fine without as the material is stretchy and doesn't move around too much. I wore it with edgier jewelry for a fancy evening cocktail attire wedding in lieu of sparkly jewelry so I could get away with a long dress and it couldn't have been better. I got compliments all night!

Absolutely sparkles!
This bracelet glitters and shines in any light. It's just the right amount of pop without taking away from a great dress.

Perfectly glam!
These earrings are slightly bigger than pictured and are the perfect amount of bling. I ended up in a fancier dress so I opted for a more casual earring but I'll definitely rent these again!
