Cute, not for big boobs
This was a cool style and kind of alternative, but I had to wear a bra which killed the look and my boobs we're kind of sagging below the lace detailing. It was chilly so I wore my wool tartan blazer, but overall this was just okay.

Inga Embroidery High Neck Sweater

Chic and comfy
I wore this for a conference and was comfortable all day! I added a belt for more shape. I have a larger chest so this didn’t have the same relaxed look as the model, but still very cute. I had a photo sitting down during lunch and I didn’t like how this looked without the whole dress-the sleeves kind of bell out and can add bulk if you have broader shoulders and a chest like me. But overall I liked this dress. I if you have a larger chest AND shoulders, I would size up and know it will have extra room at the bottom. For pear and apple shaped folks this would be even better!

Tropical Printed Dress
Rosetta Getty x RTR
Size Worn: 12
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36D
Comfortable and flattering!
I’m normally a 10 in dresses and they only had a 16 available, but the more relaxed fit was perfect. I have a larger chest and button front can be iffy, but this was great. Very comfortable and not tight. I wore with a belt for a conference during the day, and then my evening dress had a zipper malfunction so I swapped the shoes and removed the belt. I may come back and purchase. Very versatile and professional yet stylish.

Super fun and flattering!
This does run a little small, I ended up wearing the backup size 12 instead of my usual 10. Great choice for a cocktail event!

Professional, stylish, comfortable
I rented this for work and wore it a few different times. It is so flattering and comfortable and helped me feel really confident! I loved the midi-length and the weight of this skirt. Perfect for winter. I wish I could justify buying it. I would also wear this style/fabric in any pattern/color!

Gemini Link Jacquard Skirt

Fun, comfortable, cute!
I wore this to work and then to an awards dinner after work. I got a TON of compliments on this dress. The rainbow skirt is a really cool surprise. I wore this with a chiffon blouse underneath because it's winter and freezing and the armholes are a bit large and had some big gaps, but it looked seamless. This dress runs large (or maybe was a bit stretched out already) and I could have sized down. It was comfortable and I didn't need to wear Spanx, which is always a win.

Pleated Sweater Dress

Unique!
I ordered this too big. As a nursing mom with a bust, I am wary of button front shirts, so I sized up. It still looked cute but it was clearly too large. I could have gone with a size or two smaller. I wore with a high waisted knit pencil skirt with a ruffle bottom and heels and got a lot of compliments.

So classic and comfortable
I wore to Christmas Day with my family and it was comfortable and elegant. I had a baby 6 months before and this dress made me feel awesome!

Flirty and fun for semi-formal gala
After having a baby over the summer, I had nothing that fit for a holiday gala. This was perfect. It was stretchy and comfortable, yet flirty and stylish. I felt confident and cute.

My FAVORITE
I wore this dress for several work events as well as Christmas Eve and it was comfortable and I got so many compliments. I love this dress and is the first piece I would consider buying and keeping. I didn't because it's pretty distinctive, but I'm so glad I got the chance to wear this!

Burgundy Striped Sweater Dress
Tory Burch
Size Worn: XLR
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 5"

Comfortable, Cute, Professional
I had an important day at work (important meetings, visit to the state legislature) and this was comfortable for all day abs looked great. I wore a blazer and heeled leather boots and got a ton of compliments.

Magnolia Knit Dress
Draper James
Size Worn: XXL
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 5"

Flattering and fun!
A little snug in the chest for me. I'm currently nursing and have a larger chest so that can often be an issue. Love the color and flirty look! It was good for work but also appropriate for a party or event.

Navy Kenji Combo Dress

Great color! Kind of short
I think this was just a bit short for my comfort. I wore this with a navy blazer for family photos and it looked great! I also wore to work and to a holiday party and it felt uncomfortable because of the length, but I got a ton of compliments.

Lennon Dress

Pretty color/comfortable
Only downside is it's pretty short. Love the velvet and long sleeves.

Briar Mini Dress

Runs small!
I loved this dress, but for me it seemed to run about two sizes too small. If you have a larger chest, this may not be a good option. I'm a nursing mom so I thought the button down might be a good option, but it didn't work for me. Too bad because it's such a cute dress.
