Bombshell
This jumpsuit is a night at Studio 54, center stage at the Eras Tour, and a party all by itself. Jumpsuits are tricky for me as a petite person with a shirt waist, but this did the trick.

Gorgeous and versatile pick for night out and daytime flair
Ordered for an event with a speakeasy/cabaret feel, it absolutely delivered. it's lovely but does not seem to be trying too hard, which is what made it. Absolutely perfect for layering with a sweater tights and boots as well as with a long sleeve top underneath for everyday wear as well.

Sophisticated lady with options
Got this for a theme party and ended up wearing it everywhere for weeks! Works ion it's own (but you need to check shapewear is it's sheer) or as a layering piece to dik up basic black.

Warm, wooly, and wonderful!
No need to fear cold temperatures or winter winds when you have this coat as your sidekick! It has a rockstar feel and the vegan leather makes it surprisingly light. Loved it so much I bought it, even though I live in a warm climate, to use for all my winter trips.

Chic and light little work blouse with cute sleeves
Good option if you have a larger bust and sometimes struggle to find a button front blouse that didn't ha or pull. Could have sized down but this worked.

Faux fur with big energy
Gorgeous colors meet impeccable quality in this statement coat capable of elevating anything you wear with it to a high roller level. It’s warm and the cut gives it an 80s feel. A bit long in the sleeves for this petite (could have sized down) but you can easily make it work - no one will notice, and it may even make your hair color look better!

Fun with a touch of flamenco
Wore this to a concert event and to some every day occasions, change the shoes and it absolutely works. Vivid color grabs attention, and the ruching makes it very flattering.

A showstopper
Not for those who want to blend in, this beauty got comments from “it’s giving Met Gala” to “Did you get in a fight with a lawnmower?” (To which I replied “yes, and you can see I won.”) The fabric is heavy and well-made. I got the M also and it would have worked, but the L had a bit more room up top. Definitely needed heels to keep edges from dragging, someone over medium height would have a wider choice of footwear, but it really is meant for an occasion.

Looks like a top and skirt but it’s a dress so you are put together in a flash. Top is nicely fitted and the perfect thickness.

Another knit dress FTW
Toccin never disappoints, and their knits are amazingly flattering and travel-perfect. This was a bit on the long side but shoes with elevation made it work. The fabric is not scratchy or overly warm. Added a hoodie when inside the Olympic ice rink, went sleeveless at night,

As comfortable as a nightgown, with way more style thanks to cut a d exquisite print. Wore a cami bra underneath, could work without for a different vibe. Beautiful material, looks and feels expensive.

Football dress is a total touchdown
Got this because I love Koche and the name and needed something to wear to a business event held at an NFL game. Showstopper! Wore it on the same trip with turtleneck sweater and tights to dinner for more subtle flash.

Worked well board meeting then groundbreaking in very warm weather.
Beautiful material, but make sure you are covered underneath as it tends to gap and fly up with a bit of wind or when you have to sit down and get up a lot; more of a party dress than a work dress. I wore it with spanx black top underneath and classic heels to make it more suitable for business.

DVF is great and this is a perfect confidence-building work dress. Wore with tank top Spanx to make it business appropriate since neckline is low and I am full-busted.

Traveled great and was very comfortable. Looks classic but gets quirky when you look closer.
Was a little too flowy and long for my petite frame, would be great on someone taller. Used a belt and fitted sweater to make it work. Lovely quality.

So chic and comfortable. All you need is a black tee and you are ready to rock it.
Gorgeous, a bit long and longer than I usually choose (I 'm 5'2") but the way the hem is constructed makes it work for a more petite lady.

Gorgeous dress, very fine silk material and the stripe pattern is extremely flattering. The collar and zipper top give it a French flair and keep it from feeling too corporate.
