Lots of compliments
Wore it to a spring fundraiser for our kids' school & got lots of compliments. It did need some ironing though.

Great cool weather work dress
Wore it with a belt. Fit perfectly and stretched easily around my pear-shaped figure. Felt professional and confident.

Just wow!
Light, airy, elegant, and surprisingly forgiving for my post-pregnancy body, this dress earned me lots of compliments and was super comfy to wear. Would buy.

Didn't wear, stiff fabric made me look awkward
The stiff fabric of the lace and the high waistline didn't sit right on me and made me look bigger than it needed to. I rented for a wedding, and it just wasn't pretty enough. Might have worn for a work event of some sort, where I needed elegant/unique more than attractive

Post wedding brunch
Stretchy fabric and wave pattern were forgiving on my post-baby body. Worked well for a casual morning affair

Lots of compliments!
The double lace layer on the bottom helped cover up my awkward 4th month tummy: large enough to look fat but not big enough to look pregnant. The high tulle neckline kept my suddenly bigger breasts in check. Lots of compliments on the unique style of the dress.
Rose Throw Dress
Marchesa Notte
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 9"

Bust: 34D
Perfect dress for my pre-wedding social
The dress is fitted to the waist, then flares. Even so, I wore the size 4, when I usually seem to wear an 8 on RTR and I would describe myself as really a size 10-12 before vanity sizing happened. I wore a nude bra and even though the lace top is sheer lace on the shoulders and back, the straps were not too visible. Loved the shiny pouffy skirt, felt very pretty.
Into Focus Dress

Perfect clutch for my wedding weekend
It worked for both my pre-wedding social and the big day itself. Large enough to hold phone, gum, lipstick and keys.

Perfect dress for afternoon rehearsal and al fresco dinner on a warm night
I loved this dress! It was pretty and was detailed enough to be appropriate for the occasion but also well suited to an outdoor, beach-like setting. Super comfy to wear. Highly recommend!
Tulum Combo Dress

I got lots of compliments on this dress. It is "modest" enough to be professional with a bit of zing
This dress ran a bit large for me. The size 8 was way too big and the size 6 was a slightly big, and I'm 5'9 155 lbs (normally a size 8 or 10).
Broken Glass Dress

It was perfect for my civil wedding
As a B-C cup, the chest area was a little big for me. I had to use a nu-bra to fill it in.

Scalloped Empire Dress

Usual Size: 8

Lovely rich fabric, pretty but conservative cut, great for a work event
At 5'9 and 150 lbs, I usually wear a size 10 (sometimes 12 for pants, 8 for tops). I got this dress in an 8 and it was too big on top, I got the 6 overnighted to me and it fit just right. I didn't need a bra, the cut/fabric held everything in. Great choice.

The dress was perfect mix of elegant and professional
I attended a fundraiser with the object of gaining new donors/clients. I had to have a dress that was both attractive and professional. This dress was super comfortable and quite striking, while remaining professional (no dramatic cutouts or short hemlines).
