Tropical Paradise
Very flattering dress- especially for hourglass or pear shaped bodies. Wore this on my honeymoon at Sandals in St. Lucia and loved it.

Nice Bridal Shower Dress
I wore this to one of my bridal showers and got lots of compliments. I wore it with a blazer over it because I didn't like the way my thick arms looked in it. It was a bit snug/unflattering where it hit on my arms. It is a nice dress though and I would recommend it to someone with smaller arms.

Pretty Spring Bridal Shower Dress
I wore this pretty pink floral dress to one of my wedding showers. I did find myself fighting to keep my girls in it. It is cut rather low/fits awkwardly around the chest. I got lots of compliments on it though, but I couldn't wait to take it off because I was fighting with the fit all day.

Bachelorette Party Win!
I wore this fun night out dress to my Bachelorette party in NOLA. It was a comfortable dress to walk up and down Bourbon. in dancing and having fun. It did cling a bit to my belly, despite having on Spanx, but I just rolled with it. Of note, I have bigger arms and it fit them well.

Too tight in arms
I really wanted to wear this amazing coat but it was too tight in the arms/shoulders.

Great to wear to the theatre!
For my body type Halston Heritage is the bomb dot com. I always feel sexy yet elegant in their clothes. This is the 2nd jumpsuit of theirs I've worn. Both have been very flattering. The neck bothered me a bit but that's a personal preference thing- I don't like to wear chokers or turtlenecks for very long either. Overall I'd highly recommend!

Gorgeous for Engagements!
Loved this flowy fall dress. I wore it for my engagement pics. I did have to look up how to wear a wrap dress. The only negative to this dress is the way it's cut in the chest area. I had to use pins for my bra to not show and I was still fighting with it during the shoot.

Great Top To Wear to a Meeting
Pros: Great color, statement piece, lots of compliments, felt like a boss lady. Cons: The hook at the back of the neckline kept getting caught on my hair. Fit a little snug in lower stomach but was ok Bc I tucked it in.

Great color! Love the sleeves!
I loved the sleeves and the length on this dress. I envisioned wearing it with black tights and booties but it kind of cling too much to my hips/lower abdomen area where the pockets are on the dress. I also wished the neckline would have not flopped over like it was doing. Ended up not wearing it out but wanted it to work so badly.

Cute but not for me!
I rented thinking I might wear this to a concert because it looked fun and flirty but I didn't like the way it fit on me in the middle. I'm curvy and the band in the middle just hit me oddly in the torso. A plus is the way the sleeves fit. I don't like my arms and the side fat/boob fat was completely covered in this piece.

Super cute and flirty for date night!
The fit was great and works well with ripped skinny jeans and heels/booties for date night.

Stunning Dress
Wore this gorgeous dress to a Military Ball. I felt like royalty in it and got tons of compliments. I normally wear a size 14/16 but sized up to 18 in this dress and it fit great. I have bigger arms and had no trouble with this off the shoulder dress. In fact, I felt it to be very flattering. Highly recommend!

Such a fun piece!
I wanted to wear this dress so badly but it was just too big and unflattering. It looked and felt like a sleep shirt. I think I would try this one again 2-3 sizes smaller than usual and wear it on a beach vacation.
