Loved this with the matching top
Not sure I would have worn this otherwise (without the matching turtleneck). Together the set looked like a dress which I was into. Good thick-ish material. Wish the waist band was just a little thicker but it works fine with tights/spanx.

Scuba Mock-neck Set
The material reminded me of work appropriate scuba material. Runs a little small since a medium fit me well. Fitted through the body so best for tucking in.

Cute Semicircle
Cute basic bag. Kind of the same shape as the Cult Gaia original bag, but made of straw. Held just the right amount and looked good casually and to dinner.

I'm short and it was short
I'm short, and this dress was still short. Perfect for a coverup. I usually love Misa, but this was a little less flattering than most.

Prairie but into it
One of my friends called this prairie girl and she wasn't wrong, but I was into it. Flattering cap-ish sleeves, tight (aka flattering) through the torso, good length/weight.

Preppy but still chic
I tied the collar on this so it was more crew than boat. The color is so vibrant and attracted a lot of compliments. A little preppy, but chic with some strappy sandals and good earrings. Fun to twirl in and perfect for a lawn party.

Unpredictably a favorite
Didn't know what to expect, but loved this. Fit more like a maxi for me since I'm shorter, but it worked. Definitely curve hugging, but still comfortable.
Harper Midi Dress

Easy, simple red dress
Good, basic reformation dress. It fit a bit small for me, especially around the waist (usually not a problem with other reformation 4s). I could have easily worn a 6. Otherwise a great go-to and easy for summer.
Cherry Red Cassandra Dress

Larger than you think fanny
I rented this for vacation, and even brought it, then didn't end up using it. It felt weirdly bulky and sat too far away from my body. It was about half the size of a dinner plate, and about 3 inches thick. The print also was a bit darker than I wanted it to be. Would probably be cuter in fall/winter with dark colors and a sweater.

Easy, flattering summer dress
Loved this one. Easy, fit perfect (I'm petite and it was a great length), and wore well throughout the day.

Uneventful romper
I generally love Bec & Bridge. I didn't hate this romper, but I didn't love it (could be because I am petite and it was a bit long in the torso). Safari style with belt and rolled sleeves. Heavier weight linen--I was a bit warm in Mexico City humidity.

Bec & Bridge
Size Worn: 8

Versatile black top
I loved this. Couldn't grab a smaller size so went with a 6 and it was fine tucked (otherwise would have been boxy). The material is lightweight and easier to wrinkle, but hides it well. I wore it casually with jeans and dressier with silk belted pants and heels.

Chic toiletry bag
It's basically a croc toiletry bag with a strap. Personally, I loved the shape and it could fit more than you would think. It would be hard to pack since the material is thick and it holds its structure. I wore it casually, all the way to dressy.

Loved it
I had hearted this awhile ago and grabbed it for a birthday dinner. Loved it--pretty shapeless until you belt it. Easy, comfortable, and moved pretty when you walked.

Cute, versatile, and looks designer
I rented this for a long trip to Asia and it worked well for walking around and business dinners. You can fit way more than I predicted (including a water bottle and book), and it has a zipper pockets for your extra-valuable things (passport, $$, etc).

Per usual, great Saloni dress
I love Saloni in general. The pattern is a little much (the dots are semi-metallic in person), but it worked well for New Years Eve. I'm petite, and the length/fit was perfect on me. I could have sized down, so you have some flexibility there based on what's available.

Interesting
I didn't end up wear this. The sleeves are retro in a great way and love the back. There's an extra piece of fabric at the hips, which adds some curvy-ness to your figure. That could be a good or bad thing for you. For me, it was the length that made it a no go (which was almost maxi since I'm 5'1).

Cute, runs big
I wore it to an art museum function and it got a lot of compliments--something different without being over the top. It ran big on me, and the elastic on the waist wasn't tight enough. I wore it with a thick black belt, which worked well functionally and aesthetically. Underneath, I wore a lacy bodysuit/teddy under it since the top is just slightly sheer. Both worked well since they just looked like part of the dress. I also had to overtie the top of the dress to get more of a crew neck (otherwise it was boatneck-ish).
Sheer Jumper Dress

Size Worn: 2R
Usual Size: 2

I kept this bag for over a month because I loved it so much.
I got endless compliments on this. I wore it to a cocktail, everyday, and even a sporting event. Always looked young/trendy, but classic with the rectangular shape.

Loved wearing this dress.
Actually ended up turning this dress around so that the back was the front, as it was more flattering. I used fashion tape to secure. At 5'2', this dress fell right above my ankles in the front.

Really beautiful, different dress.
I am short (5'2), and this barely skimmed the ground (with flat sandals on). Lower neckline than expected, but fun and perfect for a vacation dinner.

This bag is beautiful, just much bigger than expected.
Could fit an iPad or small laptop. Better for work use.
