Super-fun pants, annoying to get on and off
LOVE the look of these pants, but man don't wait too long to head to the bathroom bc getting them on and off is a chore. 5 buttons, a zipper, and a non-removeable belt.

Relaxed fit, a little boxy
I have fairly broad shoulders, usually a 10 or 12. I wore a medium and found it pretty loose/boxy. I know that’s how many blazers are cut right now but just be aware.

Fun flouncy dress
This dress has more going on than what I'd usually wear. Between the drop waist and the sleeves and the tie front it can be a lot. But it works and I got lots of compliments. Wore it in my second trimester and the waist works well with the bump.

Showstopper
Super flattering—created a curvy look for me, a very not curvy person. Low it for sure but I’m flat chested so it wasn’t an issue. Still wore a normal bra. Slight stretch made it comfy too!

Flattering and fun For a winter party
Rented this for a baby shower. The cut is very flattering. Fit and flare made me look more curvy than I am, as did the gathering at the bust. I pinned the opening at the bust so it was about 3/4 inch higher for modesty. Pretty deep blue color with black and brown pattern (I thought the brown was pink or peach from the photos). Easy on and off.

Different and comfortable
Really enjoyed wearing this dress. The color is a lovely, dark teal, more interesting than black or navy but not too bold. The fabric is stretchy and comfortable. I didn't find the arm part annoying as some other reviewers said. True that you should size up. I normally wear a 6/8 or M and got a Large here on others recommendations. I think the M would've been snug. The puckering on the side seams is real. I was going somewhere pretty dark, so I didn't worry about it, but if you're going to be photographed or something it might bother you.

Badass glamour
LOVED this dress. I felt formal and feminine but also a bit edgy. The fabric is soft, not scratchy at all , and has some give. It's super easy to walk in, given the opening at the front and the full skirt in the back billows in a delightfully dramatic way. I normally wear a 6-8. I only had the 8, so I wore it and it was fine. I think I would have been able to fit the 6 though. I saw some people say the underskirt was tight or very short. I'm tall and I didn't find it that short, but I wear short skirts. Also, it was not tight on me AT ALL (considered pinning it up a bit) but I have a very straight-up-and-down body type, so hips aren't a factor for me.

Glamorous and wearable
This dress was super glamorous and the cut was very forgiving, the way there's gathering at the midsection. Only negative is if you're going to an event with dancing, your arm might get scratched up by the sequins. I normally wear a 6-8 and the 6L fit me perfectly. I'm 5'9" and could wear moderate heels with it.

Dramatic and lightweight!
These earrings are dramatic so you have to be ready for something high-impact. I thought they had a great 80s flair. They are surprisingly lightweight for something so big. Only negative was that one of them broke midway through the night (and it was an opera, so I wasn't swinging them around dancing).

Fun comfortable dress!
Loved this dress and got lots of compliments. The 8 had me a little worried about snugness in the belly, but the 10 was a little sack-like, so I went with the 8. I was worried this dress would be crazy short since I'm fairly tall. It was short, but not scandalously so.

gorgeous color, fun to wear!
I loved the color on this dress and got lots of compliments. The open back makes it prone to straps falling/gapping--at least for me, a very flat-chested lady. I used lots of tape and it worked out fine. Got tons of compliments.
