Casual dress, great for Fridays at work.
The asymmetric hem gives a fun punch to this otherwise typical dress. The length was right at my knee, so appropriate with bare legs for a casual work environment. And it has pockets, which is always a plus on a well cut dress.

Sheer sleeves are very fun!
This sweater was very flattering and fun while also being conservative enough for a business workshop.

Not the right piece for me
At 5'7", this dress was just too short to wear bare legged to work. I think it could work well for a transitional spring day with cool temperatures appropriate for tights but in the 2 weeks I kept it, it just didn't work out. I'd be willing to try it again next year earlier in spring. The pattern was bright and I liked the fit of the dress other than the length issue.

Loved this skirt!
This skirt has been my favorite unlimited piece so far. I wore it with a dressy tee and jean jacket to work. The length was very flattering, as was the tie. It could go from work to play very easily.

This dress worked well for a day spent at our vacation resort,, from brunch to pool.
The dress runs quite large and a bit shapeless, so I felt it needed both a cami and a belt to pull it off. But it was incredibly comfortable and made the transition from an upscale resort brunch to a pool cover-up very well.

An added pop of spring
I found this one to be a bit tight in the bust when I first put it on but it did loosen throughout the day to be rather comfortable. The fabric is more appropriate for spring or warmer climates. I paired it with tights, over the knee boots and had to add a sweater at work as I was cold. I found it to be on the short side (mid-thigh) but the tights provided enough coverage for my casual work environment.

Great for a casual day with friends
I wore this sweater on a typical Friday when I was meeting friends for lunch, running errand with my kids and had sports activities to cheer at in the evening. It was comfortable and I loved the pop of color on the words. I am typically wary of sweaters because I'm sensitive to itching but this one was very soft!

Fun times with family and friends!
I loved this dress! The way it twirled while dancing made me feel like a little kid again ;) As other reviewers warned, I did need double stick tape to keep the top from gaping. I did need to adjust the top several times during the evening, which was not a big deal. If I owned it, I would have had it altered instead. I ordered an 8L and a 6R based on reviews and size availability. I wore the 6R. The longer length would have been perfect with heels but the regular length looked great with both heels (that showed) and then sandals for dancing with my kids. The long also had a longer torso portion and that did not fit my body top (short torso, long legs).
