Pretty dress
I ended up not wearing this for NYE because I liked another dress better, but this is a nice option for people who want sleeves. One thing to note is it seemed short on me and I'm petite
Mini Sequin Pixie Dress
Mark & James by Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 135lbs
Bust: 34C
Not for petites
I so wanted to love this dress but at 5'3" the straps were WAY to long for my shoulders. This sadly went straight back. Would be nice on someone taller - very flattering and nice weight

Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 34B
Great third trimester option
Wore at 34 weeks pregnant and loved this dress. Super comfortable and the sleeves had enough extra flair to feel more elevated than a basic ponte/knit dress.

Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 32B
Third trimester option
Wore at 34 weeks pregnant - felt pretty short for work so I had to wear opaque tights underneath. Would have sized up next time, a little tight on top (and I'm petite). Got lots of compliments

Wore at 34 weeks pregnant - ordered my normal size which still had plenty of room to spare. Definitely size down if you're not pregnant! Fun pattern, pretty lightweight material.

Nice third trimester option
Wore at 33 weeks pregnant - went up 1 size from normal as I don't like form fitting dresses. Nice pattern and quality, also comfortable. Wore to a fundraiser then again to work the next day.

Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 32B
Maternity option
Wore at 32 weeks pregnant - sized up 2 sizes from normal but I find DVF runs really small so honestly next time I am going up 3 sizes. Nice pattern and good quality dress - wore to a dinner party and again to work the next day. Need a slip underneath as it's low cut and legs open up.

Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 32B

Work at 32 weeks pregnant - went 1 size up from my normal size. A little low cut for work so I wore a turtleneck under. Fun dress

Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 3"

Wore at 32 weeks pregnant in my (usual) normal size so it runs big!!! I'd definitely size down one or two if not pregnant. Pretty and comfortable dress

Baby sprinkle dress
Wore for my sprinkle at 31 weeks - pretty dress and very comfortable. More of a light pink/blush than I expected but still nice. I don't like form fitting so I sized up a size and was happy I did. Wore again to work the next day and got lots of compliments.
Blush Farah Maternity Dress
Isabella Oliver
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 32B
Maternity option
Wore at 29 weeks pregnant - wore my normal size. Got tons of compliments from others! But I thought this dress was just okay - itchy and really bad static cling. Wore with heeled booties and was just able to walk - I'm 5'3" so would be too long on anyone shorter.
Clementine Space Dye Dress
Elizabeth and James
Size Worn: MR
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 32B
Maternity option
Wore at 29 weeks pregnant - went up 1 size from normal. Very pretty dress - sheer fabric so I wore leggings and boots so I didn't freeze in winter weather. The sleeves were a little long on 5'3" me, but not so much that I didn't wear.

Size Worn: 46
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 3"

Fuchsia Lace Bell Sleeve Shift
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 32B
Maternity option
Wore at 28 weeks pregnant - sized up 3 sizes from normal. Didn't love this dress - material felt cheap and I think it had been dry cleaned too many times because the liner hung below the lace dress. Seemed to run small - I normally only need to size up 2 sizes from my pre-pregnancy size. Color is more nude than pink.

Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 32B
Maternity option
Wore at 27 weeks pregnant. Glad I had a slip on hand because I didn't realize the back has a weird cutout when I ordered. For summer casual I'd probably be comfortable without a slip, but I needed one for work. Runs large - went 1 size down from normal even though I'm pregnant

Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 3"

Black Jungle Flower Dress
Jason Wu Collection
Size Worn: 10
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 32B
Maternity option
Wore at 24 weeks pregnant. so wanted to love this dress - it is just beautiful. Unfortunately, others have mentioned the fit on top is very weird. You can't really wear a bra - even a strapless one, because of how the bodice is. I don't have a large chest so went braless but the look is strange on top. The shoulder straps we're also too long on 5'3" me, so I had to wear a sweater on top to cover up. Maybe a smaller size wouldn't have had the strap issue - I went a size up from what I normally wear pre-pregnancy.
Samba Batik Flower Printed Maxi Dress
Tory Burch
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 32B
Maternity option
I wore this at 24 weeks pregnant and had tons of room in belly. The one annoying thing was the shoulders kept riding up so I couldn't wear as an off the shoulder dress as pictured on model. But very flattering maternity option. Wore my regular size, didn't need to size up.

Good option for pregnancy - wore at 24 weeks pregnant. The fit isn't super flattering on baby bump, but I got a TON of compliments on this dress. Runs pretty big - I wore my same pre-pregnancy size.

Maternity option at 23 weeks pregnant
Wore this for a couple parties at 23 weeks pregnant. Very pretty dress and color - definitely need nylons or shapewear underneath.

Great pregnancy option
Love this dress! Wore at 22 weeks pregnant - went 2 sizes up from normal. Just wore to work but the dress would have been perfect for a party or wedding. May buy in my normal size - gorgeous dress

Pretty cotton dress
This is a pretty cotton dress. The fabric is more casual in person than it looks online. Like all Kate Spade dresses I found the size ran large.

Too big
Dress is not as nice looking in person - very plain feeling. I'm a true size medium and it was too big on me, but I've been finding that's true for Kate Spade casual dresses.

Perfect 4th of July dress
I wore this for 4th of July parties and got a ton of compliments. That said, I think it's a little too costume-y for every day - my husband joked I looked like a circus tent :|

Fun dress, overwhelming on petites
I liked this dress a lot and got lots of compliments on it. It was a little overwhelming on my 5'3" frame, so I wouldn't order again for that reason - but on someone a bit taller I think it would be wonderful.

Great Summer dress
Very flattering for pear shaped women. The Linen was lovely for a hot Summer day and didn't wrinkle! Pattern was less pretty in person, but I still liked this dress.

Way too short
I'm only 5'3", and this was inappropriately short on me. Otherwise fit was normal, just way too short!
