Low cut in front and high slit
While this is a nice winter dress, I didn't wear it because the slit came up too high to wear to work. This could be due to my very short legs and would likely be more appropriate on someone taller than 5'3".

Beautiful fabric
I wanted to wear this dress, but didn't. It has quality fabric and would look great with a blue blazer. Tights are needed if wearing to work as the slit is quite high. The dress, while fits as expected, is tight around the rib cage.

Very boxy
I didn't wear this item because I got it for a warm weather work trip that didn't happen. I ordered based on other reviews; however, I found this to be a very boxy and stiff jacket. If I did wear it, it wouldn't have been comfortable.

Sparkles for Holidays
These were more sparkly than I felt comfortable wearing in January. They were also very slim in the hip/thigh area. I didn't wear these pants.

Nice fall/winter sweater
This sweater is great for fall/winter. The body and sleeves seemed a bit long, and the sweater was scratchy around the neck after wearing it for a few hours.

Beautiful sweater
This sweater is very versatile. I wore it one day with plaid pants and another with buff colored jeans. Easy to dress up for work but also perfect when heading out for dinner at the local sports bar.

Beautiful but tight in the body
I kept this for longer than I should have, and then never wore it. It was just a bit too short in the body and tight. I didn't want to be uncomfortable for a long period of time, so I'm going to try to find the next size. It's such a quality piece that can be work to almost any event: work, picnic, party, bbq, sporting event, etc.

This would be great without holes
This is a great fitting dress; unfortunately, the holes on the sides make it a "no go" for me. Over 50, I don't think this is a great trend for me; although, I'm sure some can make it rock!!

Didn't lay on my body correctly.
I wanted to like this dress as the color is great. When I put it on, the chest area didn't fit right and made it a sloppy look. Sent back without wearing.

I almost got stuck in this outfit. I wanted to love it, but it ran small, and it was short waisted. Didn't wear.

Very comfortable light weight dress
I wore this to a funeral, in an area that wasn't very cool. It worked out well, and the fit couldn't have been better. Fitted, with the nice overlay.

Not for summer
I liked the dress; however, it was too heavy for summer, and the flounce over the hips didn't feel right. I didn't wear it.

Too small across the back
This dress was okay, didn’t love the print once I saw the dress. I didn’t end up wearing the dress bc I couldn’t zip it at the top.

Nice casual sundress
I wore this to a bridal shower. Loved the dress, my only negative comment is that the slit on the left side goes a bit high. The Dre’s didn’t need the slit at all.

Very long
This is a nice dress, and it is very comfortable. However, for someone who is petite, I didn’t wear it because it hit my calf at the widest point.

Couldn’t get this over my head.
I didn’t wear this top since I couldn’t get it on. I would likely need to go up to sizes but I don’t think they make it that large. I normally wear a size 12 and this felt like maybe an 8.

I got this for work, but it's a bit dressy. Dips low in the chest with a nice slit on the leg. Would be great for dinner or wedding.

Nice but didn't work
Nice fabric, the slit in the back wasn't too high, but I'm short). Runs very small and there was too much room around the arms. Didn't look right with sweater or jacket, so I didn't wear it.

Basic black skirt
Nice basic skirt with just the right amount of "gibe" in the material. The only thing I didn't like is the skirt is not lined and didn't work well with tights (it rides up). Would be great as a summer skirt without tights and it's lightweight.
