perfect work dress
Very elegant and work appropriate dress. Substantial weight fabric with no stretch. Fits true to size. It took me 2 tries to figure out my size, but ones I did the fit is perfect. For reference I’m usually size 4 in brand like “black halo”. In “dress the population” my perfect size is Small. I have 6 dresses in this brand now all in size Small and they fit me to perfection. I’m 5’9, 135 LB, and 34B bust. I must note, if you are slimmer and have bigger bust those dresses might not fit you the best.

Not a good fit.
I got an M. I returned it. It looked terrible on me. The waist was too small, the hips were huge and it wasn’t a good cut.

Gorgeous Dress!
What a beautiful dress! Works for my figure (ample bust, hourglass). Sizing is a bit of a trick. I needed to size up, but still looks good because of the nip at the waist. Very nicely cut for the right figure. Conservative enough for a work event, but still special and feminine.
