I just realized this is the same cut was the Darling Mums dress I blogged about earlier, so that explains why my review will be similar!  Same fit issues because GB isn't carrying the 0x, only the XL and the 1x, although I think I may try an XL if I closet anymore Phoebe cuts because it may just fit. We'll see! The top and straps were overwhelmingly big so a lot of my bra showed, but I paired it with a sweater so I could wear it. It was really cute! BTW, it has pockets! :D

This dress was ADORABLE. I loved the weight of the belt. I like it when they hang rather than stick out. The length and fabric were comfortable, it didn't blow up in the wind... I would have bought this if not for the $80+ price. My first reaction was, "I wonder if anyone wore this as part of a Dorothy costume?" :-) But I truly loved this dress. It was an easy wear that didn't require much styling to make it work.

I really liked this dress! I loved the material, how it flowed, and I had a belt that pulled it all together. It was extremely price (over $100) or I would have bought it! I wore it with wedges which pulled it a bit higher off the ground, although it's still easy to trip in if you're not careful. :-) My husband really loved this one, too! The 2x was slightly too big on me but I don't know if I would chance sizing down because of how it fit around my hips.

Depending on where your print landed, this dress has been dubbed the Raptor Dress or one of the many "V-Dresses." If you don't know, go join The Girls of GB on facebook, and we'll fill you in ;-) Fortunately, mine was a raptor dress. I actually liked parts of this but it was extremely tight around my waist/back and just the slightest bit short. The neck is where I really had a problem. The lining on the neckline kept flopping out all day! Totally not cute. Other than that, I liked the colors and in general, the cut. I would size this by your waist size.

I actually really liked this one, but please, Gwynnie Bee, a tag with the word "Flor" on it does not need to be the size of my hand LOL! My husband liked the feel of this one, but it's the soft baby blanket feel that's being "improved" on, I think.  I tend to like wrap dresses, and I thought the print was fun, the colors were delicate, the black tie added a good pop, and it didn't flail open when I sat or the wind blew. I really enjoyed wearing this one!

This dressed looked like a kindergartener's art smock. I wore it out in public so I can't say it's the worst thing I've ever received, but it was literally "just okay." I really don't have much else to say about it except that the colors are a lot bolder than in the picture so it, again, looks like an art smock. I kept thinking about me elementary school art teacher the whole day and how much I loved drawing on soft manila paper. So there's my anecdote. :-P

This dress was a major no. It was seriously probably one of the heaviest dresses I have ever put on my body.  The fabric was so odd that it clung to my chest, couldn't find anything to hold on to on my waist, and then suffocated itself against my butt. I hate sending things back without wearing them so I saved my butt with a target sweater and off I went... but I'm typically a size 18-20 on the bottom and their is only one size smaller available... plus I don't know if sizing down would help my case, exactly, but it just wasn't for me.

Don't judge me for what I'm about to tell you. I was quite disappointed when I got this dress in the mail. The tie in the back felt flimsy and weak, like it had been stretched or worn too much. The fabric was fading, felt cheap, and tee-shirt-y, and it was so low cut I had to wear something under it. Then I bought it WAIT WHAT?!

Yes, I bought it. I got it for only $18, and I had been complimented all day. I still figured I would just send it back, but when I got home my husband stands up and goes, "YOU'RE BUYING THAT, RIGHT?!" So... now I own it. 

I do like the ring on the bust, the low-cuttedness isn't going to kill me, especially if it's worn over a swimsuit, and I'm in Hawaii after all. All in all, it's just okay for me, but yes, I did buy it for the right price ;-)

Gwynnie Bee stopped carrying 0x in Cherry Velvet which sucks, because a 1x is too big but an XL is too tight in the chest and I sacrifice length because of it. I didn't love this as much as I thought I would and probably likely due to the bad fit on me. The straps were absolutely ginormous and I wore a sweater over it at the office since the straps kept slipping. Maybe it's the cut, but this didn't cut it for me like other Cherry Velvets (I particularly like the Brigitte.)
