Wore a few times and got compliments, but didn't personally love it on me
This was a very nice top, but just didn't pop and wasn't super interesting. I didn't like it without a jacket. I got a ton of compliments, so maybe I just don't have a lick of fashion sense. (I already knew that). :)

Waaaay to short
This was way too short. I have a long torso, but I felt like Britney Spears, circa late 90s. The arms were also tight, which was odd for the loose fit look it had.

So comfortable for travel, but still providing a wow factor when I stepped off the plane!
I enjoyed so much about this dress. It was extremely comfortable but also super flattering. I got so many compliments from complete strangers while I was traveling (from fellow passengers to flight attendants), as well as the person I met up with when I stepped off the plane. The dress was nice to wear to full length (mid-calf). However, I also loved that I was able to pull it up to just above knee length and gather the extra fabric at my waist. That ruched style looked like it was part of the design and provided forgiveness for moments when I didn't want to feel self-conscious with the fabric highlighting all curves (including those in the tummy area) ;)

Okay for pretty much anything
I wore these for work, a BBQ I hosted, and out for an evening. I loved the unique material and cute style. I did wish the waist was a little less tight, as it made putting the top together mildly harder than normal. I wore all black, and also a white long, fitted top with floral down the side, and a short leather jacket. Also, because of the cuff, I liked this with cute trainers, heels, and dressy sandals.

So so beautiful - perfect for work
I loved loved loved this blouse! I paired it with barely blue, almost white stretchy jeans and it was beautiful. It really stood out. The sleeves were a tiny bit long but are cut open at the base, so I just found myself pulling the bottom of the sleeve toward my elbow to type and back down for meetings. The color was good for me, a very deep shade of pink seen as red. Note the side panel is NAVY and not black, so it's not something I'd pair with black jeans or pants, as it would be distracting and the blouse needs to be the hit. I did not like it tucked in as much as left untucked. Though it arrived with fold lines and wrinkles (I gave it a quick steam and it was perfect), I did not find that it wrinkled as I expected it to throughout the day. Overall, would definitely wear again.

Beautiful top but just ok as worn
I wore this for work and found two issues I didn't love. 1. The back is too open for my office, and we have an extremely flexible and forgiving dress code (if we have one at all). It just didn't seem appropriate to be wearing a cut out back on a beautiful blouse at work. 2. It's getting cooler here, and my office is always freezing, and I didn't love how this looked under pretty much anything, from sweaters to jackets to blazers. Maybe it was the puffy sleeves or just the oddly tapered cut paired with its blousy style. But I didn't feel satisfied with something over the top (which further exacerbated the first issue). Overall, it's very pretty, but impractical for me.

Fantastic wrap
Materials are outstanding and the fit is extremely flattering. I don't usually like this length (just below the knee) because my legs aren't super long, but the wrap is just forgiving enough to provide a small amount skin in front so it doesn't cut your legs short. The waist is tight enough that I could tuck in my top but it also didn't pinch anywhere. I wore it with an off white long sleeve blouse and it really stood out nicely. Overall, beautiful piece and I'd love to wear it again!

No chance I can do this dress justice!
I don't think the picture helps me convey how much I love this. It's so pretty. This dress is outstanding. Cut, color, material, everything. I wore it on a hot day for a dinner date and I worried about the silk, but I didn't need to. It was perfect. It's shorter than I usually wear (5'7" with long torso issue...) but the skirt is not tight so I wasn't too self conscious. It is a true wrap dress and a light fabric, so don't wear it outside on a windy day if you aren't brave. Note: I am small-busted (32B) and it only just covered me. Once the clasp on the front/top stops working, it's going to be very low cut. I would advise ladies who wear a small size but have a large bust to think twice about this one unless you don't care about coverage.

Fantastic, comfortable dress
I love this dress! Trina Turk doesn't always fit me right, but I loved this one. It's comfortable enough to be casual, but it wore well to work with a white blazer and was great without the blazer later that evening when I went out for drinks. The material is silky on the inside and it's a generous fit while still flattering the figure. l like that you could eat plenty and no one would notice because the pattern and cut make you look thin while still accentuating curves. I would rent this again, and I would have bought this if it was warmer here more often or I dressed up for work regularly (I don't). One note - it does wrinkle easily, but my steamer handled it just fine.

Perfect skirt for mild summer days.
Super cute and comfortable skirt. It was a large fit at the waist, but I didn't mind, as that allowed me to wear a tight shirt tucked in, and didn't leave any muffin top impact. I belted to disguise the fit and it was perfect.
