I wanted to keep it
Comfortable, sexy, and appropriate for an outdoor rehearsal dinner in California in August. It struck the perfect note, only downside was no pockets. I didn't even need boob tape, but I did need heels to prevent the dress from dragging.

Summer Garden Dress
FARM Rio
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 170lbs
Bust: 36B
Soft, cozy, bright, and warm
A great sweater for winter and warm enough to wear while I was in Sweden for Christmas. The cashmere blend meant it was super soft and the colors were bright and fun. It was a bit long in the arms (most tops are for me), but it was easy enough to roll up.

Fun, warm and colorful
It was the perfect sweater for my trip to Sweden - thick and warm but not itchy. It was a little big on me - longer than I would have preferred, but not too long that it looked strange. I'm just short!

Not for me
Did not wear. The cotton was heavy so the dress didn't move easily. The wrap wasn't flattering, hit my waist wrong, and way too much fabric. Great colors, but not the dress for me.

Bright and wide
A showstopper color for sure. I could have sized down, but a medium wasn't available. The pants wrinkle fairly easily but I didn't care. The lightweight cotton was perfect for exploring Morocco. This is a WIDE leg but I loved it.

Better for someone else
I didn't end up wearing it. The tie hit a weird spot on me and the slit was too high to wear without a layer underneath - not appropriate for the conservative country I was traveling to.

Miko Dress
Le Superbe
Size Worn: 12
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 3"

Bust: 36B
Bright and happy
I wore this in Chefchaouen, Morocco to pop against the blue city. I received tons of compliments and was really pleased with the outfit. The cotton was a light/midweight cotton, the waist cinch helped avoid looking like a car mechanic, the length was good for my 5'3 self - no rolling or temporary hemming was required. I will note that getting out of the jumpsuit involves a tie, zipper, and buttons but it wasn't too onerous. I'd rent again for a fun, casual summer look.

A sparkling rainbow
I wore this to the Taylor Swift Eras Tour and it was perfect - sparkles, summery and colorful. Loved that the straps were adjustable! Two cons: by the end of the night I had irritation/burn on my biceps from rubbing against the scratchy fabric all night. I was fine with stick-on bra, but others may feel less comfortable with the cut/ coverage.

Perfect for a formal work event
I was able to look both professional for a work event while feeling fabulous. The black collar is an excellent accent and the dress is comfortable - no sequin burn at the end of the evening. Heavier than I hoped, but the perfect weight for a fall event. Be prepared for compliments from everyone.

Made an ordinary day special.
I wore this to lunch with girlfriends. It was a comfortable fit for my bottom half, but a little loose for my top. The ability to cinch the waist made it easy to cover up any imperfections. The buttons looked a little loose in places but not enough to be worried they'd fall off. I was surprised that it didn't look too long - I'm short and the length was just right.

Better online than in person.
The dress is meant to be loose, but it swamped me. I didn't end up wearing it.

Even the wedding planner wanted to know where I bought it!
Fit was perfect, but I used double sided tape just to be safe. No alteration on the hem needed with heels. The pockets were amazing - smart phone or a camera would fit. The color was even better in person - raspberry/ magenta. I loved it and would definitely suggest it to others. Perfect for an evening event.

I didn't end up wearing the dress.
Both sizes were too tight in the hips, mostly because of the lining. I swam in the bust. Very pretty, a little more muted than expected, but not the right cut for me.
