Gorgeous, well made, but neckline elastic was uncomfortable
I felt so regal in this dress but within an hour I was unable to keep wearing it. the weight and elasticity of the nexkline just reminded me of being choked. That could be a plus for some wearers but was not comfortable for me.

Sassy enough to inspire a professional photographer to stop me
This dress is short but the cotton was heavy not to move in a breeze. Wore boy short underwear and felt totally comfortable at an outdoor festival all day. I was feeling confident enough that when a professional photographer stopped me to ask to take my portrait as part of larger project, I quickly agreed.

Milk Maid having a Midlife Crisis
I was not expecting just how low cut and how short this dress would be. Sure I wore it out for a day to see how it would feel. Lots of compliments but I just felt like a Milk Maid having a Midlife Crisis. I imagine it is more comfortable on a smaller chested or younger person...or perhaps someone with more confidence...

Dots for Dopamine Dressing
I was surprised how much I loved these trousers. They fit so well and the pockets are large enough to stuff with craft supplies on the go. Have worn them to work conference, evening events, and errands. They breathe well and were a godsend during the heatwaves - especially for a perimenopausal person. Really leaning towards buying these...

Wish I could get both boobs in
It looked very fun and edgy but was way too small for my chest.

Glow up for groceries and more
Wore this three times and always felt radiant. It elevated my trip to a street festival for croissants and dinner with college friends. Sequins did not irritate my underarms and the fabric was great for dancing with my walker.

Glamour that you can dance and devour a steak in
Wore this to a black tie wedding and was comfortable (Even when I was crumpled up with a pain episode on the ground - I love glamour that I don't have to worry about when this happens). Tons of compliments and it was fitted but with enough stretch that I was not worried eating a magnificent steak. Also, a lot of full length dresses get in the way of my walker wheels but this one never posed any problems.

Perfect date night outfit for historic moment when Clooney arrives in our living room
This is a sassy, fun but comfortable dress to wear for a casual date night to watch Good Night and Good Luck's historic Broadway broadcast. Top is supportive enough to be worn without a bra and yet flexible enough to not irritate me when a thoracic pain episode hit. Ease and joy are important to me as a person with disabilities and this dress hit all the marks!
