Not for tummy conscious
Tummy conscious post kids? You can leave this skirt behind. There's no structure to it at all. The skirt fit fine, but there was no way I was wearing it out in public.

Perfect Vacation Date Dress
Dressy enough for a sunset cruise with my hubby, but comfortable enough for the sweltering heat of the Maldives. Hid all my wiggly bits and accentuated my curves. Loved this dress so much!

Awesome Island Dress
Loved this dress for our island vacation. The only con is that the fabric is quite see through on close inspection. The loud pattern hides this from far away, but I wouldn't chance it for any kind of formal affair. I used this as a beach cover up.

Not made for apple shape.
Would be great on a pear shape, but it is cut in a way that makes me look pregnant. No thanks.

Nice pattern. Form fitting
Form fitting, but the pattern makes me less self conscious. Works with a jacket for work. The fabric is like a thin stretch denim.

Tight with a high slit
Love the pattern. Fabric is structured with a stretch and comfortable. But, the slit is too high for work and the dress is too tight

Too tight. Super wrinkly
This was too tight in my normal size, even with spanx. Was intrigued by the front zip jumpsuit, but didn't work out for me.

Weird bust, but comfy
I couldn't get the bust to lay flat. I'm a size 14 and carry my weight in my bust (38D) and belly. Dress was light and easy to wear in the summer heat, but needed a tank

The color is gorgeous. A really rich, deep red. The sleeve and color give it class and interest without effort. The fabric is lightweight. Perfect for summer. Great work from home top!

Way Small But Cute
I'm ususally between a L and XL. Ordered XL and couldn't get it buttoned in the front and it was super tight on. Dissappointing because it's really cute! Fabric is structured but thin enough to wear in the summer.

Gorgeous shirt. Too big
Gorgeous color. Love the sleeves. I'm usually right in a size 12. This was like a tent.

Gorgeous and comfortable
Pattern and fit are so forgiving for me. My tummy is my least favorite area and this pattern and elastic waist cinching give me shape without highlighting my squishy bits.

Great pattern. Very comfortable
The material feels like silk PJs. I thought it was cotton from the pictures, but it's not. Love the pattern.

Great summer work shirt. Wrinkles easily
The fit is awesome. Really cute neckline, sleeve details, and pattern. The silk wrinkles easily, though.

Great Versatile Option for Work or Date Night
For work, it definitely needs a top underneath for modesty. The sleeves are kimono like which adds an interesting touch. Wrap is great for curvy girls.

Boss lady jacket
This fits like a dream. The wrap and tummy rouching are perfect for highlighting my curves in the right places while covering areas I'm less confident about. I needed a top under it, but might be ok without a top for someone with a smaller chest.

Gorgeous and comfortable
The fabric is thin and silky, but won't wrinkle. Too low it to wear without a cami underneath, but the pattern and fit are awesome. Perfect comfortable and professional dress to work from home in.

Great top for work
The pattern is really cute for work. It pairs well with navy. The sleeves have an interesting cut to them, and the top has a slight peplum, which makes it very forgivving if you have any "tummy" issues. I had to wear a tank under it because it is a little too low cut for my chest size.

Runs small
The top was way too small for me. I'm usually pretty comfortably a large, but on this one, even the sleeves were tight and all the buttons gaped. The style is really cute, though.

I loved the style of this top, but the sleeves were really long and there is no definition is the waist. It's very boxy and baggy.

Gorgeous dress! Small waist
The dress is absolutely stunning. But, the waist is a little small. I couldn't get it fully zipped, so I went with a different dress. Fabric is luscious, thick, great pattern. Cut of the dress is better for pear shape than apple shape. Definitely size up if you have large chest (40F here) and / or large ribcage / waist.
