Loved this for a formal DC museum event in February
I have never worn a red dress and I received so many compliments on it- much to my surprise! The fit was beautiful and the slight train was lovely as well. Felt like a Grecian goddess/ tall column and paired it with gold strappy heels and the Kenneth J Lane serpent cuff. LOVED IT!

Wore this to a formal downtown DC Club for a winter engagement party
The dress was just eh. Certainly sophisticated and a nice color palette for a March event in DC but the material was exceedingly stiff and the pencil skirt was very tight and uncomfortable the entire night. I do have hips but even I felt uncomfortable sitting and standing in this dress for fear of ripping it up the back. I didn't feel like the circumference of the skirt matched the fit of the top of the dress. It was certainly pretty- just size up!

Beautiful color for a summer wedding in DC among a sea of black dresses!
Loved this dress- I cannot stress it enough! The pockets were fantastic too, as was the length (I am 5'8 and often have trouble with hi-low hems). It looked beautiful out on the dance floor and I paired it with a bold red lip and royal blue satin bow heels. Such a stunner! No need for tons of jewelry since the embroidery is so lovely. HIGHLY RECCOMEND!

Wore this for an afternoon bridal tea party- simply lovely!
Fit was tight around the chest (and I am only a 36/38B- athletic/ broad shouldered but thin on top, not overly muscular) so I opted to wear the 10 so that I could breathe comfortably. It is a beautiful, heavy brocade fabric- fine for a June event indoors in AC, not so sure it would be great for an outdoor summer affair. A full skirt so it might overpower a more petite frame. I paired mine with ankle-strap nude pumps and pearl earrings- voila!

Perfect for a November wedding- reminded me of a Dutch Floral Still Life painting!
Looked lovely against a sea of plain black and navy dresses on the other wedding guests. I do not have a large bust so no need to wear a bra. Comfortable for a night of dancing and loved the pockets for my phone! It is a lot of material so I would caution those ladies who are on the petite side... it might overwhelm you. Also, skip any necklaces- the plunge is dramatic enough. HIGHLY RECCOMEND!

Fantastic blazer, looked great for a formal and conservative DC event in January!
I am 5'8 and have wide but not overly muscular shoulders and since I wore it over a spaghetti strap jumpsuit, I had enough room in the shoulders and could button it no problem. If I had paired it with a dress or something more substantial underneath, I might have opted to wear the 10 to make sure it didn't appear too tight on the shoulders. Loved the dramatic slit up the back, paired perfectly with a black jumpsuit and some heels. It is a cowl neck with is also nice and dressy. HIGHLY RECCOMEND!
