Vibrant & Comfy
It's still hot as HECK in Texas, and this was the perfect pick me up I needed. I wanted something cute that I could wear with flip flops and shorts to feel a LITTLE bit more put together but still comfortable.

Cute but runs small
If this had fit I would have LOVED it. It runs small - XL is usually spot-on for me. The quality is good, and I think it's super cute.

Small in bust
This just runs small, especially in the bust. I should have taken heed of the previous reviewers, but I thought the elastic back would make it more workable.

Comfortable, flattering, beautiful color
I wore this dress for a fundraiser I chaired for my kids' school. It was perfect for running around in, and still felt special enough. The color was beautiful.

Comfortable and flowy - really pretty print
I wore this dress for a fundraiser event with a country/western theme. I just added turquoise, boots, and a metal belt. It worked great without looking too theme-y. The dress was very comfortable - if you are short, the dress is pretty long, but it worked with my boots, since they have a bit of a heel.

Beautiful material, great color for spring.
The color and material on this skirt are beautiful. I really wanted to wear a shirt tucked into it, but with my 'mom stomach' made it unflattering. It really accented the lower abdomen, which just isn't very flattering on me. I wore my shirt untucked and it looked fine, but not exactly what I was hoping for.

If you're curvy, this dress runs really small in the bust
I rented a 12, which is usually a safe size for me (I sometimes size down to a 10), and the bust on this dress was way too small. I think I would have liked it if the bust had been big enough.

Polished but comfortable for work
I wore this for a job interview, and I felt really sharp (even though I didn't get the job).

A beautiful pattern on a super comfortable dress that could work for many occasions.
I wore this dress for a conference, and it was super comfortable yet stylish. My only complaint is that the tie at the waist made the blousy top a bit unflattering for a full-chested girl.

Striking and comfortable
I got so many compliments on this dress. I rented it for work and for a vacation where I would need something casual and comfortable. I usually wear a 12, but I ordered a 10 because of its shape. I don't tend to need the extra space in the shoulders, which is the only place where sizing might matter on this dress.

A punchy color for a change of pace
This skirt is very flattering, and I love the electric color. The nude color was perfect with my skin tone for the sheer illusion. Probably wouldn't be quite so effective for other skin tones. I just wore it with a white t-shirt.

Super cozy and comfy for casual work or weekend
I really loved how cozy this little jacket is. I just wore it will jeans and a plain black shirt and felt super comfortable, but also stylish. It's pretty boxy, so I ordered a size down, and I was really glad I did. It's forgiving, and I think a larger size would have made me look bigger.

The skirt can be dressed up or down, so it's really versatile.
I wore this skirt to work with a white t-shirt to dress it down. It's really cute, and definitely a statement. The sizing wasn't perfect for me - the waist band was slightly tight, while the area around my hips was a little loose and poofed out in the wrong places (in the belly area), which wasn't entirely flattering. This meant that I couldn't wear the skirt with a shirt tucked in as I had planned, but it was still really cute.

This dress felt special while still being comfortable and casual
I wore this dress to an art film and dinner date night. I felt really special, but was still comfortable all night for the casual evening. I also got a million compliments. My ONLY complaint was that the perforations in the skirt catch on EVERYTHING, and I was super worried I would snag it. However, it caught multiple times and there was never any damage to the dress, so it's not too delicate.

Very flattering, but probably not best for someone with a large chest.
This top is super cute and flattering when looking at it head-on. However, for someone with a large chest, it's a bit tricky. So much side boob! If you can find the right cami or bra, it would be fine, but with the open back, I didn't have anything that would really work.

These are super comfortable and a nice change of pace for work/everyday.
These fit great - they are a little roomy, but that seems intentional with the slouchy style. They can be dressed up or down - I just wore with a tucked in blouse and cardigan for work, but I could see wearing with a sparkly or sheer top for a party. My only complaint is that the belt looks a little junky, but that's a small complaint.
