Dolce Vita
Valentina Lace Dress
Not for the Curvy
I got this in blue, it looked so pretty and had so many reviews but it didn't wear well on me like it seemed to others. I am 5"2, 34D, 25 waist, 34 hips. The top for starters is not meant for busty women! I ordered an xs, it fit everywhere but looked all wrong on the chest, it was too tight, and because of this, it pulled the waistline fabric up, making it look ill flattering. I also don't like that the skirt part is the only part with lining. It doesn't show off the cutout detail. I wish the top was lined so I could wear it without my chest pushing out on the cut outs. It's made for tall flat chested people. Not flattering for small curvy girls!

Not What I Expected
I liked these in the photo, but I guess I was expecting the top of the show to be more "squared" like the look in the photo. I thought they'd have the same type of square off top like moccasins do. The pair I received had a more rounded top, like pointed round, not square at all. Thus I sent them back. Too bad. I wish they were more square a the top, also they were a bit lighter in person. The color looks a bit darker in the photo's. Nice composition, comfy, and sturdy, just not what I expected when they arrived. Bummer.

Susana Monaco
Racer Mini Dress
Not for Large Chested Girls.
I bought the neon pink, it's a cute dress but it's cut tight across the chest. I'm 5"2, size 0-2, 25" waist and 34D chest. This flattened my chest, but fit everywhere else, hugging my hips & waist perfectly. I ordered the XS. I could go up a size, but then it would be big everywhere else, and not fit my body well. The material is thick, and I like the bright pop of pink color, but this may not be for larger chested girls. You compromise the form fitting material if you size up. If I wanted to wear a bra I'd probably have to go two sizes up to a M, there isn't much room in the chest area. Bummer, as I loved the color.

Boy Stripe Dress
Nice but not for the price
I bought this dress is dusty rose. Its soft, comfy, has a bit of a pulled hemline but it's nothing special especially for 108 dollars. So I don't think it's worth the price. I have dresses similar to this I bought for $40 dollars. I like the dusty rose color, the look is a but edgy for an easy throw on dress for the beach, but I rather spend $108 dollars on something more price appropriate!!

Cute umbrella but feels a little cheap
When I saw this umbrella I finally tossed my worn down black compact. I always wanted a clear, cute umbrella like this one. Its adorable. However, upon getting it I noticed it's not very heavy duty in terms of how it's made. I am expecting this one to not last very long. The plastic is thin, cheap, not durable and the metal rods that push out and like the umbrella are as cheap as they get. They most likely will break, or the plastic will tear. I'm almost afraid to use it because it's so cute. For 65$ I expected something better made, but kept it because it's so cute.

Long in length but true to size in fit
This dress is LOOOOONNNGGG in length but true to size otherwise. I didn't go down a size as some people suggested. But I'm short 5"2, so I had to tailor off almost 10 inches in material!!!! I'm also curvy, even though I'm a size 4, I have hips and boobs. I was afraid with a chest in the 34D range this dress wouldn't work for me but it does. Just be prepared to tailor the straps to be supportive because a bra underneath isn't possible without looking ridicules and like you're trying to put you're chest on display. If you pull the straps and make them shorter you can forgo a bra and no look trashy and not hanging out. Also your hips are hidden by the fact the dress flows out just under the bust and works it's way down before ever getting to your waist thus disappearing and the length makes it even more slimming. Overall, this dress is great, just be prepared to spend extra on tailoring. I manage to dress it up, down, and feel ethereal in it. Just get a good tailor!!!!

Careful this SNAGS on everything!!!!
I disagree with the other two reviewers. I have several RAILS shirts, this one fit like all the others. I like RAILS shirts because they are a bit fitted, and I've notice all RAILS shirts are a bit fitted across the chest. I ordered my usual XS and found this to fit like all the rest. I will say this shirt is buttery soft, nice material, but it SNAGS on everything!!!!!!! Its so easy to catch a thread on this shirt. Its a threaded shirt so the fibers are easy to catch on everything. It's happened three times and I've only worn it twice. If they had another xs in the blue/purple/pink I'd buy another because the color is great! I love the shirt. But it's delicate, and I have a feeling by the end of the summer the shirt will have pulled threads everywhere. Be careful!

Milly
Chiara Skirt with Neon Trim
Awkward
I am not sure how to articulate this skirt. Its a bit awkward in design and on. Its true to size, but being 5"2, pencil skirts, like pants run a bit longer on me so this skirt just skims past my knees. Meaning I'd have to hem an inch or so off by a tailor. I ordered it because I loved the pink neon pop of color, but I was stunned to see that the pink neon in person isn't flat. Its like this thick piping lining the skirt. So it protrudes giving it this 3D effect. It makes it look rather "space age" like in some respects, and also harder to tailor. Also its a hard skirt to style. Because the pink is 3D it just cuts up the skirt visually. I tried black&white blazers and tops and it just didn'tlook right, maybe its because I am short. The only thing I felt that this skirt could work with so it wouldn't look awkward on me was if I had a blazer in the same fabric and color as the white panals. I think this is more for tall people. Cuts short people up. I wish the pink wasn't 3D either! Sad!

Club Monaco
Diane Dress
Made for Tall Leggy Girls
This dress isn't flattering for the short. I'm 5"2 and it hit my ankles and didn't look good.. You need long legs since this dress is sheer so it looks right on people with long legs to show off. It didn't look right on me and my short legs. Its made for women like the girl in the photo. I'm a size 2 ususally but curvy 34D/25/34 measurements, but I ordered a size zero since I size down in club monaco stuff. The top part of this dress doesn't look right if your big busted, its kinda uniboob like. It wasn't flattering, its just not made for my kind of body. The style of the back is pretty but even with a belt clinching the waist, it just fit poorly up top. The model is small chested, with her it looks right. Also the waist was a bit big and I got drowned in fabric from there down. I will say the color is prettier in person than in the photo's. Online it looks kind of lime green, in person its a bit more emerald green, reminds me of that dress in the movie Atonement. Nice color, bad fit

More "swirl" than expected
I purchased this at Saks online, and sent it back, I decided to review it here because I usually end up getting things from Shopbop more and wanted to warn people. This skirt is more billowy then expected. Like in a 1960's diner poodle skirt way. I have hips and my standard 2 fit fine but I felt like it billowed out on the sides making my hips bigger and basically all I needed to do was put those flat looking tap shoes on, an argyle sweater and do the twist or something. In the photo it falls better on the model, thus maybe it's not meant for girls with hips because on me, the 2 billowed out on the side waaaay more then in the photo's.
