Meh
I didn't wear t because it was too small. I'm not sure if I got a size too small or if I just didn't like the fit that was more snug than my usual. I may try a different size. The fabric was nice and the color is beautiful.
Coral Ashton Dress
Trina Turk
Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36H
Flattering but synthetic
It fit well and looked good, but the material is less than optimal. Since it was synthetic, the dress itself was very heavy and I found myself always cold. It also stretched a bit in the midsection and had a tendency to gape. I wore it a few times and got compliments, but it wasn't one I would consider buying for keeps.
Julie Sweater Dress
Tory Burch
Size Worn: XLR
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36H
Just the right amount of bling
It was just the right amount of bling, yet simple. It looked great on a navy high next dress. I may rent it again.
Born To Sparkle Necklace
Jenny Packham
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36H
OHMYGODILOVETHISCOAT
It's crazy soft and very warm. The reversible makes it perfect for a range of how dressy you want to look - jeans to formal are all ok. I may not send this back.
2 Be Real Faux Fur Puffa Coat
Sanctuary
Size Worn: XXL
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36H
Gaps
Since it is ribbed, this dress will stretch to fit an elephant. Since it is ribbed, it tends to pull away anywhere it is not tied down. As a result of gapes in the chest and in the legs. An undershirt is a must. I was constantly pulling it to cover my crotch. Also the material is synthetic so it provides zero warmth. I might as well have been wearing a T-shirt. The model must be 5'0" because I'm 5'5" and it landed about 3" above the knee.
Metallic Striped Wrap Dress
Diane von Furstenberg
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36H
I met my grandmother
This is straight out of what my grandmother wore in the 60's, complete with scratchy material. All I was lacking was a cigarette. Nope
Hermosillo Top
Trina Turk
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36H
Very sparkly
If you want gold and sparkly, these are for you. I though they were closer to camel hair, so no. There is a red stripe down the side that isn't obvious in the pictures. It looks ok but limits what you can wear them with.
Stretch Lurex Trousers
Scotch & Soda
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36H
Soft box
The fabric was super soft outside and less soft on the inside. With no fitting through the waist it fits like a box. It would be a good maternity dress for work.
Siena Shirred Front Dress
B Collection by Bobeau
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36H
Perfect Traveller
I rented this for a work meeting in London. It is soft and warm and won't wrinkle, yet polished enough for an important meeting. Perfect.
