A stunner
This ran slightly larger on me but the cut and the fabric means it is totally forgiving if you struggle with things fitting you on top but not bottom, or vice versa - I think it would look on a lot of body types. Color was gorgeous, got tons of compliments. One note - the slit on the side is very high and any shapewear with shorts will show. Would still recommend shapewear to keep the classic lines sharp.

Beautiful, delicate, romantic, flattering
This was a risk for me as sweater dresses don't always flatter mom bodies. But the dress has a really subtle empire effect so it doesn't cling. The neckline is dramatic and sexy but not too revealing; the low back is beautiful. The entire effect is stunning.

Straight size, not fashion sizing
I am normally a 10 but wear a 12 in a lot of the high-fashion brands. I ordered a 12 in this based on RTR's recommendation and I was swimming in it. I loved the back and the halter but couldn't wear it without it falling down.

Striped Halter Dress

Too much leg + too much boob. Pick one!
Maybe better on someone with a shorter torso and a fewer curves. I was busting out of the top and the skirt hit much higher on me than it did on the model. It was not an elegant look.

Beautiful color and shape - make sure you get the right size
Very romantic and flattering shape, but I would say the XLR is more of a STANDARD 12-14. I'm a standard 10 and a designer 12-14. This had a lot of room and would have been even more flattering if it fit properly. I ended up throwing a jean jacket over the top to hide some of the shapelessness.

Pretty and classic with a little twist; but make sure you get the right size.
Really small across the bust; fit everywhere else but I couldn't wear it.

Sky Blue Shirt Dress
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 10
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 170lbs
Bust: 38C
Beautiful print; lightweight fabric
I sized down per the recommendation. It was more form-fitting in the shoulders and bust but I feel like it ruined the proportions: form fitting on the top but too wide on the bottom. Still, I wore it twice - very easy to throw on and go.
