Received brand new dress
I was excited to try this dress. I liked the pretty, feminine pattern of the fabric. Unfortunately based on other reviews I sized down and therefore I was unable to wear this dress.

A bit more formal in person than the photos
This dress was very pretty, but was more formal than I expected. It is definitely not for everyday wear. I found it to fit a bit on the small side.

Perfect for my quarantine birthday
Loved this dress! It was very long, but perfect for my back yard birthday dinner. It has a fun 70's vibe. I found it to be very flattering as well.

This is the perfect Mary Poppins bag!
This purse is absolutely perfect. Gorgeous neutral tone, it holds everything but looks like a smallish bag. I absolutely want to own this bag someday.

Stretched out by the hanger, terribly misshapen arms/shoulders
Beautiful, higher quality sweater in absolutely terrible shape. It had clearly been hanging for too long and the shoulders and upper arm areas were completely misshapen to the point it looked like they were flopping puffy sleeves.

Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 185lbs

Fun too with great details
I liked the details, the pattern and the fact it was not just another plain button down top. There was a small hole in the sleeve which I only discovered after I arrived at work which was unfortunate.
Peacock Floral Printed Blouse

Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"

Very striking coat
This is a very striking coat. I probably should have gotten a size smaller. As a result the sleeves were very, very long. I live in Chicago, unfortunately this is not a winter coat but it was perfect to wear to a handful of holiday engagements.

Slightly sparkly fun
I would have kept this sweater if it had been a touch longer. It was incredibly difficult to return it. I liked the subtle sparkle and fun pink/green pattern.

Fun, unique style
I grabbed this at the store quickly and there was only a 16 available. I would normally wear a 14. So it was definitely large, but even more than I anticipated. Regardless, I loved it dressed down with jeans.

Great everyday dress, nice colors, flattering, comfortable looks nice with tights/boots.
Plum Abbi Dress

Bust: 38DDD/E
Beautiful color but not what I was hoping for.
I tried on the size 12 in the store and it fit but was a little uncomfortable so I ordered the 14 for my event. It was bigger in the shoulders but about the same fit everywhere else. I was really bummed because it was a beautiful color and a gorgeous dress but I was uncomfortable all night. Ultimately my fault I should have just run to the store and gotten something else.

Itchy material
This was just an okay look. I rented it as a back up for my holiday party but wore it to work with a cardigan to dress it down. I found the material itchy and uncomfortable.
Black Everdine Dress

Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"

Surprisingly fun and flattering
I wax not sure about this dress when I ordered it because of the seemingly drab brown color but it is richer in person and a super fun, flattering and comfortable look.

Kangaroo pockets
This dress is very stretchy and comfortable but the kangaroo pockets in the front of the dress while fun gape open before you even put the dress on. It's just not a flattering look.
Houndstooth Ponte Dress

Great mid-weight wool coat
This coat runs very large. I normally wear a large in coats but the medium was a great fit for me. I like the open and relaxed style. I would never buy an off white coat but very much enjoyed wearing this for a week.
Cream Apollo Coat
Wish
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 175lbs
Bust: 38DDD/E
Great fall look
I loved the surprising lower back on this dress. I paired it with brown cowboy boots. The material is heavy which is nice this time of year but was not the most flattering for my midsection.
Brown Gwyneth Knit Dress
Mara Hoffman
Size Worn: XLR
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 175lbs
Bust: 38DDD/E
Not flattering and heaviness of the material was uncomfortable
I didn't like the look of this dress when on. I think it would work better for someone for apple shaped frames not pears. I hated the material-too thick and just uncomfortable.
Cameron Knit Dress
Parker
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 175lbs
Bust: 38DDD/E
Fun but it was a bit too chilly to make it work when I rented it.
I loved the colors and feel of this look but it got colder quickly after I selected it and I just could not find a way to make it work.
Floral Long Kimono
B Collection by Bobeau
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 175lbs
Bust: 38DDD/E
Very professional look
I wore this for work. A co-worker told me it was very Star Trek, which I though was a fun complement. I received numerous compliments throughout the day and later when I went to dinner with friends. It is heavy weight and I liked the length. The shoulders and arms were a bit too big but I cuffed the sleeves and that worked out well. I'm 5'4 and it hit just about three inches above my ankles.
Green Mock Neck Knit Dress
Diane von Furstenberg
Size Worn: LR
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 175lbs
Bust: 38DDD/E
Endless complements
I'm not the biggest fan of bell or full arms on dresses and shirts, but I liked this dress quite a bit. I particularly liked the neckline and tie. The material was soft, not at all stiff. I got so many compliments on this dress.
