Work for Winter
I ended up not wearing this because it was too heavy for the weather, but it is a great option for work. I was surprised at the pleats (I thought they might be a little too "young" for me) but with the color and weight of the material they were flattering without being attention-seeking. Will definitely rent this when the weather cools down again.

Midnight Multi Dress

Summer casual but beware
I love the sleeves of his jumpsuit but the fit is way off. I wore a size medium based on recommendations and availability but I'm only 5'4" and it only worked if I pulled the waistline so that it was rather low slung on my hips.

Cute and casual but
Borderlines on frumpy with the gauzy material and shape. Not everything has to be super structured and fitted. It this did not do me any favors and was a super unflattering cut. I sized up based on the recommendations and the bare shoulder side hung a little too low and it was relatively short in the waist.

Beautiful but missed the mark
The drape and cut is this jumpsuit is beautiful, I was excited for so many possibilities with this one! However, the length just didn't make sense.... I could have barely pulled it off with a completely flat shoe (and only if I didn't raise my arms at all). So sad!

Comfy and casual, but NOT flattering on a curvy figure
Loved the light weight material of this dress. Because the wraps and ties were decorative rather than functional, everything stayed in place, but the ties themselves LOOKED decorative and were not quite proportional to the other design elements of the dress. I ordered a size 6 based on size recommendations and other reviews, which fit me in the bust but meant that I was absolutely swimming in the rest of the dress. I am all for flowing summer dresses, but this cut looked more like a maternity dress as I moved around.

Cute and comfy, but not flattering
With two young children, I am exploring the romper as an alternative to my summer staple dresses. This is a cute concept - the shorts were a good length and the material was great for a spring day in Arizona but the proportions seem a bit off. On the recommendations and reviews of others, I ordered the medium which was the right choice through the hips and in the rise, but it was broad in the shoulders. I am curvy and wore this for an ultra casual outing with my littles so it worked, but I could see the breadth of the shoulders overwhelming someone with a more straight body type. I would also be concerned for someone tall.

Wanted to Love It, but I didn't
Maybe I overlooked it in the details or was taken by the seam details but I expected this dress to be more structured than knit. I have a number of DVF wrap dresses and shirt dresses and love the fit on my curvy figure. Unfortunately, this one didn't work - it was too tight in the arms and while I could have wrapped the dress, the cleavage was too much for work and looked odd with a cami underneath.

Wanted to love it
But the top was too broad in the shoulders and the pockets did not sit right.

Structured and sassy
A great twist on a work dress! The cut is super flattering, structured enough to hold everything in place with just the right hug. The material is heavier than I expected, it is definitely not a summer option but would be cute with tights or booties for the winter months. And the waist wrap sat slightly lower on my hip than I anticipated. It worked for me and actually elongated my torso line a bit but I am only 5'4". The length was just on the edge for me but might be an issue for someone taller. I would definitely wear this again.

Out of my comfort zone, but lots of complements
I don't usually go for floral or this color palette but was going to a black tie event with a floral theme. This was a great option! The drape of the shoulder and bodice was perfect, the material offered the right amount of hug and give. It was really comfortable too!!

Lovely and comfortable
This dress is a great option for a formal affair. The gold floral detail is sophisticated and a great deviation from the standard black. It is a fair amount of cleavage with this dress but the fact you can wear a racer back bra helps. It is structured at a high waist and the pleating brings structure to the full skirt without being overwhelming.

Cute concept
Excited for this little deviation from the standard shirt dress but this dress fit much boxier than I anticipated. Not that a shirt dress is supposed to be fitted, but with the little pleat, I expected a more flattering cut through the waist. It might have worked with a belt or tie waist but I didn't love it alone, I opted for a black Lafayette 148 shirt dress that I had in my closet instead.

Wanted it to work
The pop of pink was a little outside my comfort Zone but I thought that I could make it work with the clean line of this dress, except that it was boxy and not at all flattering. :(

Great but...
This dress fit will, felt great and the sleeves add the perfect pop of personality. I wanted to live it because it refined some things that other designers have missed with similar styles in terms of ratio and aesthetics, but it was a tad short for work. I am only 5'4" so length is not a problem I typically have! And, to be fair, it was on the limit of acceptable when standing but definitely too short when sitting or reaching. It might work on a more straight figure or with tights for cooler weather.
