I love the concept behind this dress – it looks like the perfect spring/summer weekend dress as you chase around your kids. I think this kind of dress looks really flattering on women who are long and lean. When you’re 5’6 and 135lbs, it doesn’t quite have the same effect. I think if the necklineContinue reading “Chambray Shirred Waist Maxi Dress”

Sigrid Dress
I bought this dress as part of “return to work” purchases. Just wanted a simple black dress that could be versatile and functional without breaking the bank. This one fit the bill. Feels like the dress is pretty close to what was advertised. The only thing that is a little off is that the pleatsContinue reading “Sigrid Dress”
Jia Dress
This brand is an unusual one – I saw lots of beautiful marketing images on Instagram and was intrigued enough to spend some time on the website. It turns out this was a “made to order” brand – they’re all about limiting production volumes to reduce waste, so if you end up ordering an item,Continue reading “Jia Dress”
Ponte Scallop Trim Fit + Flare Dress
Background: I saw this dress in the store and it was definitely a very “on-brand” style for me. I think I probably should’ve sized up and it might have worked but the store was seriously packed and I didn’t love it enough to be bothered. I loved that the store had everyone from teens shoppingContinue reading “Ponte Scallop Trim Fit + Flare Dress”
Soft Lounge Long Slip Dress
This dress is amazing! The fabric is super stretchy with thin fabric but isn’t see-through in normal lighting (will have to test in sunlight). I didn’t notice any panty lines but the fabric is thin enough that none of my current bras work as they’re visible through the fabric. I’m going to try wearing theContinue reading “Soft Lounge Long Slip Dress”
Tabitha Animal Print Dress
Background: I’m a REISS fangirl. I love their shirt dresses, although I do think the quality is not quite what it used to be in the past. This style tends to be flattering on most body types and I love that they have a number of different colors and patterns. I’ve been the eyeing theContinue reading “Tabitha Animal Print Dress”
Wild Chamomile Print Fit and Flare Dress
Background: I was constantly bombarded with ads for Me + Em – funny thing is, the Instagram algorithm really works because the aesthetic is definitely up my alley. I would have this loop of adding things to cart, especially items that were on sale, get to the check out and then chicken out because I’veContinue reading “Wild Chamomile Print Fit and Flare Dress”
Belted High Neck Midi Dress
I didn’t buy this dress but one of my coworkers did. And she bought the dress because we have yet another coworker who has been a complete evangelist for the brand. There are three women who I know who bought this exact same dress because it’s so comfortable yet incredibly flattering. Because my coworker isContinue reading “Belted High Neck Midi Dress”
Cotton Poplin Eleanor Dress
Purchased for $359 (originally $598). Debated between buying the 00 or the 0 – checked the measurements and decided to go with the 0 which was the right decision. The fabric is a heavy cotton poplin and makes that classic sound that crisp cotton does. It feels fun to wear.,,,
Rib Knit Midi Dress
Purchased on December 2022; reviewed on February 2023. Obsessed with this dress! This is completely unlike any dress that I’ve purchased before. It was also my first purchase from Maje (although I have purchased from Sandro, the sister brand). It’s a really beautiful knit fabric that has stretch but with enough heft that you can’tContinue reading “Rib Knit Midi Dress”
Elyse Lace Trim Dress
Quick caveat, I didn’t end up purchasing this dress but I had this pic on my phone so I thought it would be helpful to share. Note – at the time, I was looking for “office appropriate” dresses, and at first blush I thought this dress could work. However, as soon as I put itContinue reading “Elyse Lace Trim Dress”
Puff Sleeve Dress with Engineered Skirt
Purchased on August 2022; reviewed on February 2023. Background: I was about to start my new finance job and after five years of not working in a corporate office, I was desperate for formal work clothes. I had never bought anything from Ted Baker before but I browsed the site and felt like they wereContinue reading “Puff Sleeve Dress with Engineered Skirt”
Pippa Short Dress
Purchased on May 2022; reviewed on February 2023. TLDR: It’s a cute dress, especially for the price point. The problem I’ve found with Sezane is that the product photos all look amazing. The models are gorgeous, and darn it, those product pictures really work! I always want to buy something while scrolling through the SezaneContinue reading “Pippa Short Dress”
Harriet Ladder Trim Flippy Dress
$330 original but paid $150 in the store. Purchased on August 2022; reviewed on February 2023. TLDR: It was spring 2022. I had just spent the last few years in the startup world working from home, and then almost unexpectedly, I got a job offer to finally go back to corporate America in a “realContinue reading “Harriet Ladder Trim Flippy Dress”
