Loved, but couldn't wear!
I really wanted to wear this, but didn't have a bra that was deep enough. Very cute and light dress that would be perfect for warm days.

Stunning and comfortable dress
I was able to wear a regular bra, but did need a deep plunge bra. The gathering down the front helped hide any bumps and lumps. I liked the way it looked with a small train, but if you don't want some material dragging onthe floor, I would suggest getting a petite.

Not for me, but looked great on my sister!
This dress begs for some hips, which I don't have. My sister with an hourglass figure looked amazing in it. Be warned, the girls will be out. Make sure you have appropriate support.

Too much structure up top.
The top part of the dress is very stiff and I think there is too much material. I am wearing it, because I have it, but I would pass if I were you.

It's like putting on a warm hug!
I just returned it after wearing it for a couple weeks and immediately rented a smaller size to take me through the rest of the "cold" months. If it's on sale, I will probably buy it. Soft, warm, comfy, and stylish.

Loved this so much!
Easy, breazy, & lightweight. I received so many compliments. Wore it 4 or 5 times. The shirt was just a tab bit soo short. The sides would eventually untuck even with high waisted jeans.

Beautiful fabric and print
Sleeves are way too big. Material is very soft, therefore expect gaping between buttons

Cute but short.
It was a very flattering and fun dress, but way to short on me. I wore shorts underneath, but still wasn't comfortable
Tezza Dress

Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 5"

Great dress - weird sleeves
The dress was a heavy knit, which was perfect for an air conditioned conference. The sleeves were a little too formal for me, so I covered up with a blazer to complete my look.
Fit & Flare Dress
Ted Baker London
Size Worn: XL

You will wear this at least 5 times!
I did. It's a nice heavy denim, but wasn't too hot, even in the desert. Short, but fine with shorts under. Easy to throw on for travel and errands. It definitely has a solid tunic fit, so it you are looking to show off your figure, this dress wont do it.
Felice Denim Mini Dress

More of a cover-up than a dress.
Vacation weara for sure.

Nice print, no shape
It looked like a moo-moo at first, but when I added a belt, it was great. Very light and cool.

Cute, easy to wear dress
This was cute, comfortable, and could be dressed up or down. Lost a star for being a bit trasparent.
Blue Isha Dress
FAHERTY BRAND
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 175lbs
Bust: 40H
Professional dress with strange hemline
The hemline is not a high-low, its a medium-low. It made the dress a little more formal/ evening that a regular work dress. Would have been great for a work-related cocktail party.

Nothing special here.
The dress was fine - jus tfine. It was lightweight and comfortable, but that is about it. There was nothing fashionable, luxe, or expensive about it. I could have purchased the same dress at any store.

Fun print - just not my personal style
I tried to style it a couple ways. I received compliments on the print, but couldn't make it look cool.

Larger chests beware
I had to wear this without a bra because there wasn't room for one. The straps are adjustable, which is helpful, but they kept slipping. I was able to wear this out with family, but since I can't really get away without wearing a bra, I was selfconscience.

Conservative, but CUTE!
I received so many compliments. I was covered, but did not feel stuffy. It was very comfortable to wear and not frumpy. It was flattering and forgiving, even in white.

Classy dress - easy to wear
This dress worked very well for an elevated cocktail event. It was a no fuss garmet. I was able to wear it right off of the hanger as it doesn't require ironing or steaming. I looked polished and felt comfortable. It was flattering for my top-heavy, apple figure.

Pretty print, big pearl buttons
This style was more mature than I anticipated, but I paired it with some chunky white tennis shoes and made it work for Easter Sunday. It was fine, but didn't feel the need to wear muliple times or rent again.

Beautiful spring dress
Very flattering dress. Great for larger chests, however, you need to have the right undergarments that wouldn't show - the cups on my bras would peak out. I had to great creative with tape.
