5 months pregnant dress!
Light, airy and classy. I am 5'3" and was about 130 lbs at this point, 5 months pregnant and showing. This dress was perfect!

Sweet and feminine
This was the perfect dress for me being several months pregnant at a cool summer evening wedding. The body was forgiving in the right areas and looked like summer with the florals but was long for the chillier evening. The only downside was the length - a little long for my 5'3" frame.

Cozy chic at it's best!
Can I own this? It fit well in all the right places which isn't always true for jumpsuits. The cut is sophisticated and architectural. The color is a true navy that pairs well with just about any accessory color; I opted for pairing with chunky gold. Length was okay for my little 5'3" frame, just a tad tall. Overall, loved it!

Nice pop of color
This dress was comfortable, albeit a little too long for my 5'3" frame with 3" heels. The color is a very flattering magenta that I can see working for many skin tones. Only shocker was that many reviews said it ran small. I therefore got my normal size 2 and one size up and both were too loose. I'm a 32D and it still was big on my busy area. I wish I got a size 0.

Drowning in fabric
I got this for a trip to Napa but didn't end up wearing it. It was heavy fabric, too long, and proportions were off for my 5'3" frame. Even if proportions were right, I still think the heavy fabric and pleats would've added too much bulk.

I did not end up wearing this dress unfortunately.
The fabric was prone to wrinkling and the length was far too long for my petite frame. Pretty colors though!

Really fun color that stood out.
You can clearly see that the dress is a little long and maybe even a bit baggy. The color was fun though and I received compliments. The fabric was very airy and comfortable. Wish it was a bit more form fitting but I understand I am a smaller frame.

Not what I expected.
I hoped the dress would be more navy but it was a cobalt/plum tone which was fine - I think it would flatter many skin tones. However the color in combination with the fabric and layering gave off too much of a southern belle country vibe. I didn't end up wearing it.

Just okay unfortunately.
Was really excited about this one! But the fit was a little boxy and fabric heavy, wished it was slinkier. Didn't end up wearing it.

Beautiful but didn't end up wearing it...
What I liked about this dress was that it was sexy yet sophisticated and it gave me wicked curves. What I didn't like (and the reason why I ended up not wearing it) was the length. I'm 5'3", 5'6" with heels, and this dress would've presented a lot of tripping opportunities as it was too long. The color was also not white as it appears in the photo, it's more cream or off-ivory - almost a vintage-y color.

I could dance for hours in this dress! So comfortable.
I was afraid that this would be too glitzy for a wedding upon initially receiving but it actually worked out okay. The dress does photograph well. The fit was a little loose around the waist but I think this makes the dress more classic and less Vegas.

I rented this for a nautical party but didn't actually end up wearing it!
Was pretty bummed this didn't work out because it had so much promise! I liked the colors and the rope strap around the neck was a cute detail. The fit was true to size but because of the thicker fabric, it did not flatter me the way that it does on the model shown. My fit seemed more boxy and did not taper as much as I had hoped. The fabric and roping on bodice also felt very old lady.

This red number was uber comfortable, the last thing I want is to feel confined in my dress.
The zipper in back puckered a bit but otherwise, it fit fine.
