Stylist Review
The metallic blue threading in the pattern adds subtle sparkle and shine! The dress ran true to size, but I recommend sizing up as the waist was a bit tight and the fabric does not stretch. The bust area was very slightly large and might require some fashion tape. A Nubra or no bra must be worn with this style, as there are cut outs on the sides, front and back. The gown has plenty of room at the hips for pear shapes, and the length was perfect for me (5'2" with 2 1/2 inch heels). I recommending keeping the accessories simple but sparkly!

I love the textured floral print on this flirty dress by Yoana Baraschi. It runs true to size, but definitely size up for a full bust and slightly more room at the arm holes. The waist is fitted but there is plenty of room at the hips, and the fabric of this dress has no give. I love that it can be worn with a standard bra, and at 5'2" the hem ended right at my knees. Recommended with nude heels and some colorful jewelry to compliment the beautiful bright pink!

So comfy and perfect for daytime! The Heidi Dress runs true to size, but only slightly large. I could've sized down for a tighter, more secure fit around the bust. The dress felt so easy and comfortable, and the fabric does have some stretch. A strapless bra is recommended, and at 5'2" the hem ended right at my knees. A great dress for any body type! Pair with sandals and your favorite sunnies!

Stylist Review
A simple and classic gown, but its ultra-flattering pleats make it far from boring. It runs true to size, though I recommend sizing up for a full bust as I was not able to zip up the size 10 completely (a size 12 would've been perfect). The dress is fitted at the bust and waist, and the fabric does not stretch. There is plenty of room at the hips and the dress can be worn with a strapless bra. At 5'2" with 2 1/2 inch heels, the longest part of the hem landed right at my ankles. Pair with a crystal statement necklace or chandelier earrings to glam up this style for black tie.

Stylist Review
This feminine and romantic style by Shoshanna features exquisite lace and a knee length trumpet hem. This style does run small with no stretch to the fabric, so I would highly recommend sizing up for your backup size. The size 10 I wore is clearly a bit tight and I think the size 12 would have certainly been a more flattering fit. There was plenty of room at the top for a full bust, but sizing up is definitely necessary for full hips. Spanx are recommended if you are uncomfortable with your midsection, as well as a strapless bra due to the sheer lace straps. The neckline did plunge a bit deep and some cleavage will show for full busts. At 5'2", the hem ends below the knee. Perfect for a wedding, pair with a silver or nude heel and dainty jewelry to boost the romance factor.

The perfect daytime dress that's sure to give you tons of compliments! The Porcelain Picnic Dress runs true to size, but definitely size up for a full bust. There is also a fitted slip underneath the flowy skirt, and the fabric of this dress has little to no give. However, the dress never felt uncomfortable or constricting, and was worn for an entire day without any issues. It can be worn with a strapless bra, and at 5'2" the hem ended right at my ankles. Would be nicely paired with heeled sandals and blush-colored jewelry, to match the very subtle hints of pink in the floral pattern.

Rose gold sequins are so on-trend right now, and this mosiac-patterned gown by Slate and Willow is no exception. This style runs true to size with plenty of room at the arms and bust, but I recommend sizing up for full hips. The slip underneath is stretchy, though the sequin overlay has no give. Regardless, I found this dress to be super comfortable and easy to move around in. It is fitted throughout the midsection so Spanx are recommended if you are uncomfortable with that area, and you can also wear with a standard bra. The neckline was not too deep for my full bust, but some very slight cleavage did show. At 5'2" with 2 1/2 inch heels, the Regular length perfectly touched the floor. Sparkle and shine at your next black tie event while keeping your accessories simple with minimal jewelry and nude heeled sandals.

The airy pleated chiffon high-low skirt truly makes this coral number by Halston Heritage. This dress runs fairly true to size but slightly large, due to the stunning open back. It is fitted through the hips and midsection and the fabric has some stretch to it, making it forgiving enough for full hips. Spanx are recommended if you are uncomfortable with your midsection, and a Nubra or no bra is ideal for this style. At 5'2", the front hem ends at the knee while the back hem is tea length and ends at the ankle. Pair with nude heels and sparkly statement jewelry for your next formal party!

The gorgeous, vibrant colors in this Marcobologna gown are so eye-catching! The largest size in this gown is an IT 46 / US 8, and I usually wear sizes 10/12. I was able to fit into the 8, but it was a tight fit. Because of this, I would say that this gown runs true to size but I recommend sizing up for the backup size, especially for fuller busted ladies. The dress is fitted at the bust and waist, and the silk fabric does not stretch. But you can wear a standard bra, which is always a plus! And pear-shaped ladies will have plenty of hip room. At 5'2" with 2 1/2 inch heels, I found the Regular length just a tiny bit too long, but a 3 inch heel would have been perfect. The Blue Crisp Bloom Gown is perfect for a spring/summer wedding, and would be nicely paired with simple jewelry and black strappy sandals.
