Classic Ted Baker Silhouette A+
Just a beautiful, romantic, wonderful dress. I felt so pretty in this and loved how full the skirt was.

Adorable LBD
Ended up wearing this as part of a costume for a murder mystery party and was so impressed. I'm a true pear and even though this is a tight fitting dress, my butt and hips had plenty of room and the dress was SO flattering. Will be watching this one to potentially buy...would love to wear it (without the pink wig) to upcoming holiday parties.

I have never received so many compliments in my life....
Wore this to work on a Friday followed by date night. Prepare to be complimented all day. Not an exaggeration, I started counting because it was so excessive. The high collar and collar make this such a fun piece - and you feel like you're in pajamas while looking much more glamorous than that.
Electrum Jumpsuit

Multi-occasion comfortable statement pants
Definitely designed to be more on the baggy side, but as someone with a much bigger butt/hips than waist, I appreciated the roominess while still having the fit at the waist. Wore multiple times to work, a concert, and out with friends - big hit every time. The texture really makes these unique!

Adaptable, Comfortable, Special Little Dress
I wore this to a Christmas party with silver jewelry and silver pumps, and while a lot of these reviews are from folks at tailgates and more casual events, this dress is multi-faceted! I got so many compliments and was so comfortable all night (thanks to the elastic waist). I would totally buy this if it weren't for the price tag! I'm 5'8'', so this dress was definitely on the short size - especially for me, whose bottom half is much bigger than my top, but with opaque tights this wasn't an issue.

Cute, spunky mini for the fall/winter
I loved this so much more than I thought I would! Wore this several times, out to a concert, date night, and brunch with friends. Super comfy and flattering. I probably had a bit more room in the waist than I needed (I'm a true pear), but wouldn't have sized down otherwise I'd be worried about the length/bust area.

A Cute and Playful Standout
I was struggling to choose between this dress and another for a wedding with a pastel/spring theme requested by the bride, and was so worried that when I went with this one I was going to be dealing with it falling down all night. My worries were totally in vain - even with no bra, I was secure and only had to do the shimmy up after the most intense of dancing. Such a fun and flattering dress. Fits true to size with (obviously) plenty of room in the hips and pockets!!!!

I Will Probably End Up Buying These
So flattering and the waist is so unique and fun to play with pairing with a crop top. I have a feeling I'm going to miss these too much and end up buying at some point!!!! Highly recommend. I typically wear a 28/29, and went with the 29 to play up the baggy fit. Definitely stretched a bit as I continued to wear them, but works with the style and so comfortable.

Short But So Cute
This skirt is outside of my typical style, but I had so much fun dressing it both up and down. Short, but not too short even at 5'8''. Would likely be buying this if it were a little less expensive!

Adorable, but slightly strange fit for pear girlies
I love the style of this skirt - unique and super chic. I'm usually a 6 or 8 in pants, but my waist is definitely the smallest part of my body. I think if I had sized down to a 4, this skirt would have been too tight on my hips, but even with the belt as tight as it could go, the waist was just too big to feel comfortable wearing this more than once.

Wild In the Right Way
This is so out of my comfort zone, but I'm going to Miami for a bachelorette party and I thought I'd try this! I'm a 4/6 typically, but my hips/butt usually make pieces like this a gamble. However, the stretchy material made it so the small is perfect. So ridiculously comfortable. Excited to wear this!

Unfortunately, no event attended yet - this was bought from clearance!
What a gorgeous and unique gown. I bought this off of clearance and am so glad that I own this beauty! I don't have the size 4 to compare, but the size 6 is pretty perfect, so I'm glad I ordered a size up as per most of the reviews. Cannot wait to wear this to the black tie wedding I'm attending in August. Fittingly fabulous for the first big event after COVID-19.
