All Day Easter Comfort
I wore this dress in the car for 4 hours, for Easter lunch, for a walk around the lake, and for dinner and drinks with some friends from high school. It kept me comfortable and stylish all day!

Perfect dress for all-day glamour
I wore this dress on a Saturday when I had a matinee symphony performance to attend followed by antiquing, a very formal dinner out, and local, exhibition wrestling. It fit a little snug in the bust, so I couldn't wear a bra with it, but it was otherwise comfortable for the entire 10 hours I wore it. The only con might be that it doesn't show off your curves, but it does make you look really skinny, so bear that in mind when you're deciding what to wear it for.

Cool dress, oddly cut, prone to wrinkles.
I wanted to love this dress. The color is fantastic (it's more like a pale slate in person than a true cream or white) and it has such interesting features like the tabs on the shoulders and the extra long tie. It was just far too small across the bust. My breasts were squished and there was a gap in the buttons (definitely wear something underneath). My breasts are neither small nor large, they're really proportional to the rest of my body, so having something cut too small across the chest is unusual for me. Would be perfect for someone with a pear shape though. Needed ironing, and rewrinkled a little afterward, but that wasn't such a big deal.

Almost perfect for Mardi Gras!
This skirt is beautiful and I got so many compliments on it. The colors and shine were perfect for Mardi Gras, but it runs a little small and has no give which is maybe not the best thing for what is essentially an eating holiday. I had to change into some sweat pants before my second piece of cake.

Stand-out dress for an offbeat event!
I was worried about the fit of this dress based on other reviews, especially in the arms and shoulders, but the medium fit perfectly and was flatteringly snug. I did have a couple of moments where the girls tried to make an appearance by popping some buttons open, so I definitely recommend wearing a tank underneath. I paired it with some fleece-lined tights and cowboy boots for an outdoor event on a chilly night and I didn't even need a jacket.

Texas wedding
I love this dress! It runs a little small so I'm glad I rented the 46 instead of the 44. The sheer panel at the waist hit right below my bust line, so if it rode up even slightly the bottom of my bra was visible. I bought a nude, strapless, shapewear slip to wear underneath to prevent this issue and it worked perfectly. So flattering, I got a ton of compliments on it, and it even paired well with some gray cowboy boots!

So many pockets. It's great for errands or carrying around essentials for my puppy.
I rented a large because I have a hard time finding coats that are broad enough in the shoulder or have long enough sleeves. That is not the case with this coat and I wish I'd gotten a medium instead.

Great choice for something comfortable and cozy in cold weather that doesn't sacrifice style.

I wore this dress for a Dallas Cowboys-themed Irish wake. It suited my needs exactly.
I was worried this dress would be too form-fitting for the event I wore it to, so I rented a large, but I wish I'd rented a medium. It's definitely true to size and not as clingy as I thought it would be.
