Wasn’t sure at first, but ended up really liking it
I don’t have a narrow waist, so I liked the loose fit on this dress. The top ties tight enough that I didn’t wear a bra, which I never do. I also liked the weight, wore it in 90 degree weather. Great dress for someone who is a banana like me.

Interesting casual top
I'm a pretty consistent 8 top and bottom. I'm a 36C/34D and the buttons are just right with the size 6, no pulling or gaping.

Comfy classy chic
I'm 5'8" and this was a little short, but not inappropriate. Very easy to wear and a fun print. Breastfeeding friendly.

Fancy but not fancy
I felt expensive and comfortable all at the same time.

This dress isn't cut well for anyone with a medium-large chest
There is a snap on this dress to keep it more modest, but the way it snapped on me made it pull across my chest and look too tight. Unsnapped was a little too revealing for my work environment, even with the attached cami (which sits pretty low). I also wasn't impressed with the quality of the fabric, just a little flimsy for what this dresses retails for.

Way shorter than it looks on the model
This was just too short and tight for me - I'm a pretty solid size 8 and I felt like the M was just too snug, too low cut (but you could probably pair with a cami), and too short for work. You could also see skin where the tie went through on the sides - not a good look for me.

Super comfy
This isn't the MOST flattering pant in the world if you're not a size 2, but I enjoyed them anyway.

So feminine and pretty
This top is super feminine and lightweight, perfect for hot summer months. It is short-waisted so I wore with a tank underneath. It also wrinkles easily.

nursing friendly!
I rented this for work, but ended up wearing it to church instead because I thought it was too fancy for my office. The fabric is so pretty, the flowers are almost embroidered-looking. I got tons of compliments. The 10 wasn't available so I got the 8 and it was snug around my chest and midsection (I'm a 36DD), but worked overall. Very vibrant colors which looked good with my blonde hair and fair skin. The top has a snap which allowed me to easily breastfeed.

Too low cut for work, but pretty
I just had a baby and have a pooch, and this does an ok job disguising it. It's pretty low cut however, so I wore a tankini when i wore it to work. The print is also pretty specific, if you're not into mix matched prints.

Looser than expected
This is too big for me. I wanted the waist to hit a little higher and I think the medium or maybe even the small would've worked. I'm also 5'8 and this is skimming the tops of my feet when I'd hoped it'd be more mid-calf.

Great colors and super comfy
I just had a baby and have big nursing boobs and a pooch. I should've gotten a size smaller to highlight smaller mid waist, but this will work. Very light and breathable for summer in the south.

Blousy and forgiving
I just had a baby and have gigantic boobs and a pooch. This top is great for both. I wish I had gotten a medium, but will still wear the large. It could probably work for early maternity as well, but a little short in the front.

Slimming
I just had a baby so I needed something high-waisted with a little stretch. These are great pants that can be dressed up or down. I'm 5'8 with a long torso and they hit mid-ankle. Great for flats or heels.

Elegant neckline, but tight across chest
This dress is very flattering, but it's very tight across chest and in the arms. There's no zipping it up by yourself. The 10 wasn't available, so I wore the 8. I had very little arm mobility all night, but overall it looked great and I got compliments. The structure of the dress hid my post-baby tummy pooch.

I was definitely noticed in this dress!
The pics don't really highlight how SPARKLY it is. I mean, full on walking gold disco ball. I was reflecting off of other people's outfits all night. For my event, it worked - but it may not be so appropriate for every event. I'm also blonde and very fair-skinned, and the gold tones worked great with my coloring. I wore green earrings and nude heels.
