Splendid
Heather Maxi Tube Skirt / Dress
Own in several colors
Love this piece - just so so easy and the price is right. A perfect fit around the hips, and the column shape is very forgiving for those of us who try to avoid excess fabric on the bottom half. Own in black, white. green, etc. One tip - splendid makes a few of these in other colors - make sure you compare fabrics. I got a printed gray one that was a completely different fabric and hung so strangely. No stretch at all. It went back. This basic version though is awesome and is ideal for casual wear.

Lanston
Racer Back Maxi Dress
Hangs funny on curvy bodies
Loved the idea of this dress and the adjustable waist. When it came, unfortunately I was a bit disappointed. The way the dress hung on me was just sort of blah - I tried adjusting the waist but it didn't help much. It wasn't unflattering, just didn't hit me in the right spots. I am 5'9'' and curvy/athletic body. I think if you were a more slender type this would have the right hang and drape. Maybe if your breasts are on the smaller side you may get more of the drapey look. That being said the fabric is EXCELLENT - good weight, top quality and just what I would have wanted. Just didn't fit me that well.

Splendid
Pocket Blouse
Lovely but wrinkly
I love Splendid, and they have the best fabrics, but this one fell short. The back panel is a wonderful and soft jersey material, but the front panel wrinkles incredibly easily. I literally took a 5 minute cab ride after wearing this and it was heavily wrinkled below the waist, which was quite embarrassing. I love Splendid's casual wearability, but this top really fell short of my expectations. No one wants to arrive looking a mess.

T by Alexander Wang
Marled Jersey Twist Midi Dress
Great for ladies with curves
Another hit from the T line - this is probably my 4th purchase and I have not gone wrong yet. I'll agree this one is a bit more formfitted than usual for Mr. Wang but even for a tall curvy lady like me, it is so flattering. It hits and skims in all the right spots, and even though it is tight, you just look amazing in it. Again, it looks so much more expensive than it really is - you cannot get this value for this price in most places. Put a cropped blazer on, and it is good for work, take off the blazer, and it's great for a night out. Love this dress.

Splendid
Stripe Tie Waist Dress
Another hit from splendid
Great fabric, as is always the case with Splendid. It is the ultimate casual summer dress - so flattering, cute, and soft. These dresses are always cut complimentary to women's natural curves.. There is a cotton camisole liner inside the dress which is great, except it came pre-attached to the interior of the shoulders and pulled the dress a bit awkwardly on me. Once I detached it, it was perfect. The shirttail hem makes legs look great too. I will get a lot of use out of this - travel, pool, etc.

T by Alexander Wang
Gauze & Mesh Strap Dress
Doesn't hang well
I really wanted to like this dress -everything about it looked so cool and easy. When it came, I saw one of the spaghetti straps that connects the main part of the dress to the bodice overlay had come detached from the overlay - I could have fixed this myself, but it took me 20 minutes just to lay it out straight and detangle it so I could put it on. Once it was on, sadly it was a disappointment. I think you would have to be an incredibly slim person to get this to hang in that breezy way that it looks on the model. It just hung like a sack, which is a shame as I have had so much success with other T dresses before. Back it went.

Diane von Furstenberg
Tairona Chain Link Flip Flops
More comfy than expected
Super cute, love the DVF print without the logo nightmare some of the designer flip flops can be. You can't see it, but there is a foam layer above the normal flip flop sole that makes these much cushier than I had thought. Cute, and good price to get some style by the pool or beach.

Orly Genger by Jaclyn Mayer
Necco Enameled Rope Necklace
Amazing color
Have gotten a lot of complements on this already! Sturdy, well-made. And the color is truly stunning and will go a long way to punch up that basic tee, dress or work outfit. I almost gave it 4 stars due to the price - which I think is a bit steep. But the quality is excellent and this is a unique piece no one else will have.

Helena Sheath Dress
Gorgeous Print, great cut
This print looks even better in person - raw silky fabric with just the right amount of drape. Looks lovely on for day or night. The sleeves are an unusual length which I think adds interest. Beware the fabric doesn't stretch and the arms are fitted - they fit fine on me but I have relatively slender arms for my size. If you steer away from fitted sleeves in general, this is not for you.

Sweet Caroline Maxi Dress
Great fabric, runs small
This is a great casual dress, would look great with a cute military jacket for cool spring days. The fabric is heavy and has a hefty amount of stretch, so a good cool weather transitional piece. It runs very small though. I am normally an M, and the M was skin tight - and not in a good way. Did not do me any favors. Going to go up a size on this one. I am 5'9'', 145, and athletic build. If you are a more slender type stick with your size, but for ladies with curves you may want to size up.
