I hope you don't need to move
This dress is gorgeous. I love a boatneck, and the raspberry color was stunning. However, I could not move! This dress is not for big hips, broad shoulders, or athletic arms. In fact, I couldn't lift my arms higher than parallel from the ground, and I needed a second person to help me get in and out of it. By all means, wear this if you want to look great, but don't care about doing things.

What's not to love?
Busty ladies like me, be not afraid - you can wear this gorgeous number without a bra! It supports well, looks fantastic, and pulls off that razor edge between formal and quite relaxed. do not pass this one up, but do remember to hold your hem while walking up stairs (learn from my mistakes).

Comfy classy
I wore this sweet number a couple of times. I love that it's polished, but absolutely comfortable to wear. I dressed it down with leggings and boots for my friend's office Christmas party, and I styled it up with accessories to make a big presentation. Both times I felt comfortable and chic. It's also great if you plan on eating a big meal.

Ladies with hips need not apply
The dress was great in every respect - color, quality, and draping - except around my hourglass hips. I feared I was going to burst a seam if I moved. I will envy any slender girl I see in this dress because it really is exquisite.

Pass the garment tape
I loved everything about the dress - except the back. It bunches and sags, and I needed a ridiculous amount of garment tape to keep the back of my bra from showing.

Great winter work skirt
The fabric is thick and cozy, and the texture and side slit add something noteworthy to an otherwise uniform work outfit. My only complaint is the stretch waistband; it just didn't work on me.

Sometimes you have to jazz it up to go to the grocery store.
I chose this dress to take my casual wardrobe a step beyond old jeans and motorcycle t-shirts. The details were just enough to help it not feel plain, but the rest of the dress is all casual. It's great for a day when I care, but just not enough.

Swing and a miss
I really liked this dress as it was on the hangar, but it did not work on my body type (hourglass with large bust). No bra of mine stayed concealed by the side panels, and the front of the dress drooped and bulged instead of draping. The back is lovely, though. This is probably a knockout dress on a smaller frame.

Kicking it up a notch at work
I. Love. This. Dress. It's so classy, and it fit me like it was tailored to me. The cutout detailing was just enough to make me feel sexy without causing hysteria at work. I have it as part of my Unlimited account, and I don't want to give it back.

I really love how this bracelet looks. It is both sleek and noticeable; the perfect balance.

This dress is phenomenal! It fits great on curves, the pattern catches attention without being obnoxious, and it feels both sexy as hell and professional. I'm definitely renting again!

My brother-from-another-mother's wedding in Tahoe!
The dress definitely runs small, but the larger size worked just fine. The keyhole back is a great detail, but the snaps like to come undone. I wish the dress was long enough on me - I'm all legs - to wear my Spanx underneath (maybe don't eat a chili cheese dog beforehand like I did). The lace was a bit scratchy, but not so much that I couldn't stand it.
