Fun print!
The hemline is very uneven which really adds something extra. I was able to wear it with flats, but heels would work. It is lined so definitely won't be seethrough, and the busy print is forgiving of wrinkles and other imperfections.

Sweet
Arrived with tags attached - lucky me! This top was really short in the front so I wore it backwards - can you tell? The cotton would probably wrinkle if you folded it up in a suitcase but I wore it twice and it held up well.

Tight forearms
I don't recall ever having a problem getting my forearms into a dress but that was the trouble with this one so while I loved the design and pattern, I couldn't wear it. This is my 2nd fail with a VB dress so maybe they just aren't made for me.

Standout dress
A unique and noticeable dress. You can adjust how conservative or revealing you want your look to be by the top and bottom buttons!
Map Button-Down Midi Dress

Didn't wear it
There is a mere snap holding the top together so when I would move or take a breath, the snap would pop right open! So I didn't wear it, though it is very pretty.

I wanted to love it
It fit everywhere but was too tight in the bust area (not normally a problem for me) so it squished everything down and looked odd enough that I couldn't wear it :(. The print and cut is adorable so if you have a smaller chest it may work great for you!
One Shoulder Sunglasses Dress

Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 6

Light and pretty
The fabric is beautiful, reminds me of my grandmother's China. The skirt is lined, which is great. Doesn't wrinkle easily! Would definitely wear again.

Great jacket!
This jacket can pull together many standard (boring) work outfits. But those European sizes are snug! I should have gone up a size.

Business in the front, party in the back!
This is a really fun top. It kinda looks like someone colored on it with markers and highlighters! It was fine for work as long as I kept my suit jacket on over it so you couldn't see the open back. The picture on the site doesn't really show that aspect as well as the fact that it is longer in the back.
Multicolor St. Tropez Top

Pop of color!
Got lots of compliments on this one. People seem to appreciate the pretty bright yellow in the middle of January. Would look great with white jeans too. Fabric didn't wrinkle! It was a bit too low cut in the front for me so I wore a white cami underneath.

Somewhat lined, comfortable; love the fit.

Great fabric but too short!
I should have paid attention to the reviews which said these are best for the 5'4" and under crowd. The soft stretchy fabric is wonderful and really wanted these pants to work (love you, Derek Lam!) but couldn't wear them with heels so didn't wear at all. The waist is high which might not work for everyone.

Feel like a kid
Reminds me of a children's dress, like Hanna Anderson. For me, too short to be a dress so I wore it over jeans. Cute and comfortable.

Nice!
I like the drama on the sleeves. It is a little on the short side as other reviewer's have pointed out but I just wore a tank top under it no big deal. The shiny fabric is perfect for a special occasion. This would work well with a variety of pants or skirts and jewelry.
Black Flared Top
GALVAN

Nice pop of color
The sweater is soft and holds its shape pretty well. The little eyelets are see-through so choose undergarments wisely. This sweater is fine for everyday and added some much needed color to my usual rotation but otherwise unremarkable.

Pretty, airy blouse
You could dress this up or down. The fabric is thin and light but didn't wrinkle. Actually a lot of colors in it - I wore it with plum jeans but it would go with a variety of colors.

GORGEOUS blouse!
This blouse has a unique shape but it is classy and fancy and the cut makes me look curvier than I am so that is a plus, too. Wish I could keep it! I did have a hard time figuring out which pants would match with it but it is such a pretty top that no one will be looking at your pants anyway.
Blue Asymmetric Blouse

Unique top
Nice change from the typical tops in my closet. It is snug in the arms but the fabric is stretchy so not a problem.
Floral Agra Top

Soft and stylish
The fabric is not as structured as a typical blazer. Very comfortable and I loved the windowpane fabric. Elevates jeans and shirt to look professional.

Pretty blouse
I took off one star because there are many buttons down the front and on the cuffs and it was difficult and time consuming to do them all. I did like this enough to wear it twice, though!

Fun!
I wore these with solid colors because they are BUSY. Very high waist as the other reviewers pointed out, but they are comfortable.

Take a break from your LBD and give this dress a try. Got lots of compliments on this gorgeous color.

So many compliments
Fits perfectly. Soft fabric that did not wrinkle and I didn't have to iron. I wore with faded black jeans but would work with white, grey, black or blue. Many people commented!

Wear if you dare
I love this look but honestly I did not have the confidence to wear it out of the house! It is quite short and the front is plunging. Rock it if you are braver than I am.

Super soft, comfortable. Love the bell sleeves with pearl button detail.
The way it is cut, it is designed to show one shoulder.

Very comfortable! Fabric feels similar to linen but does not wrinkle like linen.
I had a hard time with this zipper too but love the dress so still gave it 5 stars :)

Love it! Would wear again!
Love the fabric, cut, style, all of the above! I wore it with a tan jacket for work but navy or black would be ok too. Slightly tight in the bust area, and the zipper is tough so don't plan to get dressed or undressed unless there is someone there to help you.

Plaid Corset Waist Dress

I chose this because it looked casual enough for daytime and my fave colors - black and white!
This would look great on a TALL person! I am 5'6" and it drowned me. The stretchy fabric is nice and would make for a great fit if it didn't run big. Really wanted to love this one but didn't end up wearing it after trying on.

Didn't even wear it
I sooo wanted to like this dress but the fit was unworkable at the shoulders and so baggy around the waist/hips that it was completely unflattering and I ended up wearing something out of my closet :( I tried the size xs and s and neither fit well. I probably should have read the reviews more closely because I see that other ladies had the same issues with the baggy waist. It just did not fit right and I can usually wear just about anything.
