really blousey
dress is cute and lightweight, but had to pin at the chest and the leg slit to make it feasible to walk around in.

Could have sized down!
Dress was super comfy and soft! The shear arms and top were more shear than I expected, opted for wearing a strapless bra with this. Also the dress is stretchy so if recommended a size down!

So cute! So fun!
This dress was so cute! I got so many compliments on it. I did have to pin the blouse to my bra as there was a gap. The faux-leather was also a tad wrinkled but I wasn't sure how to fix that so I just rocked it and no one said anything. The blouse material is really soft and I really enjoyed wearing this piece!

hard to walk in
cute and comfortable dress but really wish there was a slit in the back as the skirt constricts your gait a bit.

dress was brand new but the quality and color of the dress weren't what i was expecting. the top of the dress was really tight and not cut well for girls with larger chests.

nice dress, weird chest
dress overall fit really well except for some weird gapping between the buttons over my chest. There was plenty of room in the chest area but where the buttons were placed left some gapping issues. I ended up pinning the underpart of the dress to my bra so i would have coverage at work

didn't wear
Didn't end up wearing these glasses because they were almost comically small. I was expecting regular sized glasses but they were the trendy micro-glasses and looked a little silly on my face. The quality is great and they're very trendy.

Valentines day dinner with the hubby!
Earrings are pretty big but they're super fun and trendy. I don't have my ears pierced so it's so fun to be able to wear clip-ons that are trendy and funky. They're pretty heavy and my ears were hurting by the time we made it to the restaurant. I took them off halfway through dinner but they were fun while I lasted!!

Worn to my husband's rugby club awards ceremony/date night.
This dress is super sparkly and the color really pops in person. It was a little shorter in person than I was anticipating but I just watched how I stood/sat for the night I wore it. Overall, it's a really fun party dress and I'd definitely wear it to another event. The dress almost feels a little 80's with the shoulder pads and sleeves which is super fun!

Holliday Wrap Dress
Saylor
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 2"
Weight: 164lbs
Bust: 36DD
Worn to work.
The dress itself is really pretty in person. The material wasn't what I was expecting as I believe it's made from recycled materials. It almost feels a bit plastic-ish instead of the silk feeling I assumed from the picture. The top also lays a bit funky if you have a larger chest. The material also pleats during shipping so if you have time, steam it before you wear it. I didn't have time to steam it and thus had a weird crease over my boob for the day. Which, is user error not the dresses fault. Otherwise, the dress hits at a really nice length (mine hit below my knees because of my height) and was totally appropriate for work.

Black Printed Wrap Dress
VERO MODA
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 2"

Bust: 36DD
worn to work and a Caps game after work.
This dress is INCREDIBLY flattering! I felt like such a boss babe walking around the office in this. The material is a little thicker so you don't have to worry about any bumps showing. I was slightly concerned about a panty line showing at work but it turned out to not be an issue. I would have worn this dress more than once had the zipper not completely busted when I took it off. I unfortunately wasn't able to get the zipper back on the track due to how the zipper is constructed in the dress which is a shame because I absolutely loved this dress and how I felt in it.

Worn to work/after work.
The shirt was very comfortable and flattering. I feel like it didn't make me look boxy at all and the back panel was a really nice surprise detail. When my husband first saw the back he was like "oh wow, wasn't expecting that but that's really cool!". I wore this to work on a dress-down day and still felt professional enough and put-together.

Classic black dress but a little snug on top
I got a ton of compliments on the dress and overall it was very comfortable and made me feel good. I had to size up to wear the 6 because it's pretty tight in the very top. It cut across my chest and that was a little unflattering at certain angles. Also, the zipper is on the side under the top flap so it's hard for one person to be able to get the dress on. Try and have someone else zip you up in it!

Perfect dress for our spring engagement session!
I ordered this dress as my back up style to another dress but ended up wearing it because it was so much more flattering. I wasn't sure about the neckline in posted pictures but in person it's super flattering. The dress fits true to size and my rental was in perfect condition. The color is more magenta than I thought it would be but it photographed so incredibly! I'd buy it if I could!!!

Wore the dress for my Daisy Buchanan costume for Halloween
The dress fit pretty well. It was a little more snug on the bottom than I anticipated. Otherwise, it was super comfortable! I received tons of compliments on it all night and felt really confident in it. The dress itself is a little worn but it's still good enough to wear!

I wore this to my last sorority formal ever. I figured I might as well go out with a bang!!
The dress does run big. I normally wear a 6 and was super happy to fit into the 4 for this dress. When it's on the hanger, the dress looks more rose gold than actual gold. However, in pictures the light catches it and it's completely gold and sparkly. I was nervous this dress would be "too much" for just a sorority formal but it was surprisingly more elegant on than gaudy. After wearing this dress I didn't want to give it back!
