Fun, bright, bold OVERSIZED sweatshirt

Absolutely gorgeous and of great quality materials (lace, velvet, satin)!
I never thought I'd be caught dead wearing a lace top without a bra or undergarments out in public, but this piece broke the mold. I felt so pretty in this, and well-covered in the areas that needed to be.

This just worked for me... I'm top-heavy, so it was a really flattering cut.
Pretty short, but not risque at all. Felt confident yet flirty in this piece.

Super tight in chest area... didn't wear.
Cute dress, but not for my body type as I found the sleeves to be unflatteringly large, the chest area really tight, the overall length too short, and fabric very stiff to feel functional.

Cute, but unable to wear because the cape portion kept rolling up (I am top-heavy).
Nice weekend-friendly and date-night worthy LBD.

Pretty and flattering
Made of silk... wrinkles fairly easily, but because of the zebra print and ruffle stitching, it doesn't distract.

This piece was so comfortable and easy to wear, yet superbly flattering on my curves.
A classic look with lots of stretch in all the right places, plus the perfect length for work.

Lovely dark florals...
Very light weight, but not at all transparent. I'm top-heavy, so wore a black cami underneath just in case there was any gaping at the button on my chest.

It was okay. The extra long belt/waist-tie added too much bulk for my liking.
I appreciated the high-cut on the neck. Length was decently conservative.

I loved this piece! It runs big, but I didn't find it to be frumpy or boxy.
I sized down. Once on, it gave me somewhat of a 60s-babydoll-dress vibe. For it to be cut so loose and simple, it was still very much a cute piece.

Pretty, but I didn't wear it... looked and felt more like a nightgown on me.

Silky and pretty piece... I wore mine with red strappy heels.
Had to iron the dress before I wore it. The red piping kept getting "lost in the shuffle" around my chest area, so to speak. Definitely need a cami (or a cute bra & some courage) to wear this out and about, as it's pretty revealing up top.

You may need to keep an eye out for your bra straps due to the collar.

My figure and this dress style didn't mesh well. I'm way too top-heavy for it.
Way too small in the chest area. I wish it could've worked out for me.

It runs a tad smaller than I expected.
Unfortunately, I was unable to wear it because the material was more suited for much cooler weather than the temperatures I get mid-July in the South.

Such a fun dress! May be too short for taller gals, but I'm short-legged, so it was perfect for me.
A beautiful mix of colors; the fabric was breathable and easy to wear. It's a casual piece, but definitely a head-turner.

Such an easy-to-wear dress that makes a bold statement thanks to the color and sleeves.
The arms and shoulders run a bit large but otherwise, this was a gem of a dress. Bonus points for the pockets! Fabric does wrinkle a bit in high humidity, but I received many compliments nonetheless.
