Work to office party
In hindsight, would have sized up one. Cute pleats. Professional but fun. Neutral color gave me a lot of options for tops.

Work and whimsy
Loved it. Sleeves are billowy, which gave me pause, but the cuff helped provide structure. It was a big overall, but button alignment was nice, and it was the right blend professional polish without being bland.

To dinner. To work. This dress is comfortable, polished and bright. Plus, it has pockets. So many compliments I bought it after the second rental. Rented M.

Solid everyday barrel
Wore these several times — always casual. They were comfortable and solid barrel shape. Waist was looser — could have sized down.

Have pins ready
If you have a large chest, you might need safety pins for the buttons. I had to pin the gapping but otherwise it was comfortable and cool for a hot summer day.

Garden Ditsy Jumpsuit

Size Worn: 14R
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 40DD
Comfortable, cool for outdoor wedding
Dress was true to size and comfortable. The tulle was cool at an outdoor summer wedding, despite the black color. The length fell at the ankle on my 5'4'' frame. It wasn't the most flattering dress for a large bust, but I liked it.
Polka Dot Tulle Dress
Jill Jill Stuart
Size Worn: 12R
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 34D
Cozy but forgettable
It was comfortable and cozy, but an odd cut and fit. The sleeves weren't wrist or 3/4 but somewhere between. The slits cut too high but wearing a cami underneath looked terrible with the cut of the front. It also felt a bit like I was a walking candy cane after some "Christmas" comments from the peanut gallery when I wore it.

Fun, flirty but polished
Loved this skirt for work. It was bright, fun and best of all, comfortable. Loved the color and movement of this skirt. It made me smile just wearing it.
Floral Pleated Skirt

Comfortable and transitional
I loved these pants. They were super comfortable and paired well with so many different tops and shoes to dress them up or down for work. Ran a little big because of the cut, but loved them.
Stripe Paper Bag Pants
Waverly Grey

Fine work dress
Loved the color. But the fabric and sleeves were awkward and restrictive. I found the neckline to be too low for work too if you have larger breasts.
Airy Grey City Dress
See by Chloé
Size Worn: 40
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 34D
Versatile and fun
Skirt was versatile, fun and comfortable. Solidly constructed so that despite being a wrap skirt, I never had to worry about flashing anyone.

Perfect versatile skirt
Fresh, fun and versatile, this skirt wasn't something I'd normally have bought for myself but I loved it. It was comfortable for work and flirty for dinner. I got lots of compliments.

Wanted to love it
I got this for a work event, but was uncomfortable the whole time because of the fit. It ran large, and without extra buttons on the sash, it was hard to make it tight enough not to have a massive gap in the chest. At 5'4'' it was also a tad long given the cut; even with heels it felt like I was a child playing dress up.
Navy Barrow Wrap Dress

Hello 80s
If you have a chest, this dress runs small. The chest was tight. The neck cuff was tight. The pattern was fun, but when combined with the puffy shoulders, neck cuff and zip in the front, it felt very 80s. I didn't end up wearing it.

Great transitional top
Wear it to work or to play, this top was great. I got lots of compliments at work and dressed it down for happy hour in the evening.
Tapestry Lace Top

Great work to dinner dress
This dress was chic, transitional, light and comfortable. Plus... pockets! As with most shirt dresses, I struggled with the neckline and side boob; and then was self-conscious about it all day. But I got a ton of compliments, from the office to my husband when we met for date night after work.
Stripe Draped Front Dress
VINCE.
Size Worn: 8R
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 34D
Too small to wear
It was as cute as I'd hoped when it arrived. But then I tried it on and couldn't even get it zipped up. Maybe I'll go two sizes up and try again, but I wasn't able to wear it to my work event.
Carole Dress
Paper Crown
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 8

Meh
I got this dress for work thinking it was something fun for spring. It was very comfortable, but not flattering. There wasn't much shape or structure and I had the problem every woman with breasts hates: the side boob button gap.
Printed Bri Dress
Waverly Grey
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 4"

Great pattern, runs big
I got this for vacation. The fun pattern and fabric's texture made it fresh, but the dress ran big. It was baggy all over, so I didn't even pack or wear it.

Cute everyday top
This top was great. It was fun and flirty -- and comfortable. It fit true to size, though the chest was a bit snug it wasn't restrictive. I was worried about the length but it was perfect.

Sleek, comfy formal dress
Sleek, sexy and comfortable. I have a curvy figure and usually stay away from form-fitting dresses, but this hugged in all the right places to be flattering from shoulders to toes. I got it for a formal work-related event and received lots of compliments. The bright blue color and gorgeous cut of the neckline made what's honestly a very simple dress stun.
Cobalt Racing Gown
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 8R
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 4"

Fabric overload
I usually wear 8-10 and 8 was big. Between the flowy dress and massive draped sleeves, the amount of fabric felt overwhelming on my 5'4'' frame. With no defined shape, it unfortunately ended up feeling like a colorful sack. I didn't wear it.
