Chic comfort
“Vineyard vines vibes in a fun package” per one of my younger colleagues. Be aware of the length- if you have a gyat, it may be a bit short for work. I was able to get away with it since it was a day of virtual meetings with little walking around. I would buy this or a similar style if if became available!

Gorgeous but watch the bust
Wore this to a family event. I ended up adding a shawl to provide a little more cover for "the girls" since I looked a bit like Jessica Rabbit in it. Lots of compliments and it was comfy, even after eating. My only concern is the neckline.

DEEP plunge
Loved this dress. The deep neckline was a challenge for a busty gal but a few pins kept the bra hidden.

Great sparkle with a flirty hem!
I rented this for my birthday. I'm a bit bigger upstairs than downstairs so the 14 was a little snug but I had a blast in this dress!
Collection Gold Sequin Dress

:-(
I wasn't able to wear either of the sizes I ordered. The 16 was too drapey and my whole bra was exposed. The 14 wouldn't zip. Also, the zippers were über difficult to work. Avoid this if you are busty or short waisted.
Coral Marilyn Gown

Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 16

Textured beauty!
I ordered a size up, based on my prior experience with the designer's usual cut but, it was a bit big. True to size with this lovely dress. I wore this for a New Year's Eve- I started at a party with some work colleagues then jetted to worship service. I had plenty of compliments on the dress at both! It is comfy and forgiving in the tummy area. If I find it at a good price, I may even buy this one!
Sail With Me Sheath

Great silhouette!
The cut of the dress accentuates the good things while drawing the eye away from areas you may want to hide. Comfortable fabric and easy to accessorize.
Green Illusionist Sheath

Size Worn: 18W
Usual Size: 16

Lovely dress and I felt incredibly glamorous.
I suppose different people have different definitions of 'busty'...I was only able to wear a regular bra with this by using extensive pin magic. If you have a truly generous bust, this dress with show that cleavage off...more than you want. But, it responded nicely to the pins. The zipper was a bit of a challenge so, unless you have someone around to help you dress, you may struggle.
