Stylist Review
I loved this dress! It does run on the small side and I would recommend going one size up for backup. The bust area of this dress is fitted and work best for smaller bust sizes. Women with fuller hips I would also recommend sizing up as the hips are fitted as well. Nude undergarments would work best for this style, sections of the lace are shear. The fabric also has no stretch.

Stylist Review
This style is perfect for a tropical vacation! The style does run true to size and we recommend going one size up for backup. The fabric does have some stretch to it, allowing for a comfortable fit throughout the bust and midsection. A strapless or NuBra would work best for this style. At 5'8 I did find the length of this to be on the very short side, it fell about 5 or 6 inches above the knee. If you are over 5'7 I would be cautious length wise for this style. To complete this look I would recommend gold earrings and bracelets.

Stylist Review
This dress is perfect for a sunny day time event! I found the dress to run small, this is a US size 12 and I typically wear an 8 so I would definitely size up for backup. The fabric has no stretch but it is flowy and not fitted throughout. The style is high-low, falling mid thigh in the front! We would recommend a nude strapless bra for this look. This would work great for an expecting mothers as well!

This dress makes for a great everyday look. It's very loose throughout making it very comfortable and suitable for all body types. At 5'8 this style would be more or a mini length than mid thigh. The fabric does not have any stretch to it. We would recommend wearing black booties with this look!

Stylist Review
This dress was super casual and comfy! It does run true to size, we would recommend going one size up for backup. There's room in the bust, waist and hip areas of this dress. At 5'8 this style fell around 3-4 inches below my knee. We would recommend wearing a strapless bra with this style. This would also work great as a maternity dress as the fabric does have some stretch to it!

Stylist Review
This dress is perfect for summer time! This style does run small, we recommend going one size up for backup. It is very fitted in the bust area, I did not feel comfortable with how fitted the bust was and I have a size D chest. The waist on this still is also fitted and the fabric does not allow any stretch. Overall this style would work great for anyone who is petite!

Stylist Review
This DVF wrap dress is so chic and classy for work! It does run a bit small so we recommend going one size up for backup. I normally wear a size 8 and this was a 10 and fit perfectly! The fabric was very stretchy, making the dress very comfortable! At 5'8 this hit me just a bit above length. I would recommend pairing this look with black flats or heels.

The perfect daytime dress!
I absolutely loved this dress! I'm not usually a floral pink kind of person but this dress changed my mind! It's super comfortable and does run a little on the larger side so I would recommend sizing down. I was comfortable in the large as the medium may have been a bit too short for me as the bottom falls around 4 inches above the knee.

Perfect Maxi Dress!
I loved this maxi dress! I'm 5'8 and the regular length was even long on myself. If you are shorter I would not recommend this style. This style would also work for a maternity style as it is very lightweight and forgiving in the midsection!

Great daytime dress!
I LOVED this dress! It was super flattering and not something I would usually try on but I'm so happy I did! It's prefect for the daytime, maybe a brunch or a picnic. This style is flattering for all body types as it has a comfortable room at bust and hip area. For a bra you would be able to wear a strapless or racerback bra.

My new favorite dress !
I'm IN LOVE with this dress! Whenever I have a party to go to this will be my first choice! It's really classy but the cut out gives it more of a modern vibe! You are able to wear a standard bra with this dress which is great! If you do have fuller hips, I would recommend sizing up as the fabric does not have any stretch to it. Spanx should also be worn with this dress!

A go-to work dress!
I think this dress was perfect for work! I tried on the size 12 and am typically an 8/10 so this was a little big on me. This dress has a comfortable room at best, making it great for all cup sizes and is only fitted at the natural waist. The fabric does have some stretch to it as well.

Overall, I would pass on this dress.
I liked this dress, however I would not have chosen it to wear to my event. The neckline on this dress is extremely low cut, making this style unable to be worn with a bra. I am on the bustier side and would not recommend anyone with a cup size larger than a C to rent this style. On the plus side, the fabric is very stretchy and the dress is comfortable. If you are on the curvier side hip wise, I would recommend going one size up for backup!
