I was so excited when I got this that I bought it right away. The next day, I noticed a hole forming on the sleeve, then another, then another, all along the seam. I was bringing it on vacation so I half-assedly sewed it the best I could, but now I'm going to have to take it in to be fixed because I love this sweater too much to ditch it just because the seam needs to be sewn. The arms are extremely tight, FYI. I have pretty muscular arms and don't normally have a problem with sleeves being tight, but if you are going to size up anyway, definitely do it for the sake of the arms if for no other reason.

Usually in Hell Bunny dresses I wear a a 2XL so to have to wear a 3xl just for a top was unusual.

Other than that, I love this cardigan!

Also, I wore it to a mini Girls of GB meet up in Chicago with the beautiful and hilarious Leigh Ann before my sister and I saw Volbeat at the Aragon!

This dress was so beautiful and I didn't have anything to where it for for a while, but I held on to it for a few weeks and wore it to my graduation. I received my BS from Central Michigan University and was conferred at the Hawaii Global Campus on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam on June 3. 

It was a little short but my graduation gown covered me for the evening, but it definitely rode up a lot. It was a very sexy dress and wish I could have also worn it on a date night, but alas, my date is deployed, so I had to settle for my graduation ceremony. It was very form fitting. I very rarely wear shapewear but I did with this and it still showed every curve. A very beautiful dress!

The sleeves were slightly too long on me and the top was baggy compared to the bottom. It was a little low cut because of the bagginess and I had to keep pulling it up all day, but the length was great and it was pretty comfortable aside from the awkward sleeve length. Other than that, it was exactly like the picture. The ties in the front are kind of stringy and not what I expected but I don't think it affected the look. I was expecting them to be thicker like a sash but they were like thick shoe laces.

I thought this dress was super comfortable. The material felt like a comfy tee shirt which made for a comfortable day at the office. :-) It was a little short in the back. It definitely was more of an eggshell color in person than in the stock photo. The sleeves seemed to be a little shorter on me too, which was fine for me, but it's good to know if you don't like your arms to show. Seriously, one of the most comfortable dresses I've had, though.

I'm not normally one to shy away from things that make me look a little lumpy because I am what I am. I'm not going to shy away from my own body, right? The fabric on this just didn't make me feel great. The cut was nice, and sizing up would have probably helped except then the top would have been really big on me. It worked for a day at the office. It was a great length and was modest.

This dress was a great fabric and comfortable. I wore a belt with it to break up the black and because in order to fit around my hips it was a little baggy on top. The arm holes were pretty big, as you can see in the side picture. It might be a little short for some, but it's hot where I live and it worked great for the office.

I don't know what I was thinking when I first closeted this because I normally don't wear ruffly-anything or peplum looking anything, but when I got this in the mail and tried it on, I was pleasantly surprised. HOWEVER, the arms were super duper tight, and usually arms are not tight for me.  I would recommend sizing according to your arm size to avoid immobility! I wore this with jeans to the "Tour of Homes" around Pearl Harbor, and snagged a beautiful photo of the Arizona Memorial from Ford Island (bottom photo.)

BOUGHT IT! I loved this dress! I wasn't sure I loved it until I wore it for the day and knew I had to own it. I loved the metal buttons on the shoulder and it's so very flattering. It was comfortable and light, yet modest enough. Elementz seems to run "small" so make sure you follow the size chart.

This was tempting to buy but I just don't think I have enough fancy occasions to wear this! It was beautiful and my husband requested I wear it to his birthday party. I got compliments on this dress all night. It was soft, flattering, and it laid wonderfully. Very flattering!

I was amazed at how big this dress was on me. I pulled it together with a belt, but I wish I had time to size down AT LEAST once, and possibly twice. The dress was super cute and very warm (which was not conducive in my tropical environment, but I wanted to wear it!) I wore it to our office Christmas Party which was hosted at Rear Admiral and Mrs. Williams' home on Pearl Harbor on their beautiful lanai. I was also awarded volunteer of the fourth quarter of 2014!

I pulled this dress together with a black belt and black wedges and it was very cute for the holiday party. I would just make sure you size down once, AT THE VERY LEAST!

First and foremost, an easy step by step guide to wrap dresses:
1. Take strap on left side and slide it through the loop on the inside of the right side. Wrap this same loop around your back to your left side again.

2. Take the right wrap and wrap it around the left wrap to your left back to the right side, over your front.

3. Tie the two into however you like on the left side.

Now - Most wrap dresses are flattering on me, and I didn't love the pattern on this but I got complimented on this dress literally everywhere I went the day I wore it.  It was "just another wrap dress" to me, but it made for a nice easy outfit for the day!

I felt super cute in this dress but when I saw pictures, I felt not so cute. It did it's job, nothing more, nothing less. I wouldn't write home about it (but I will blog about it... LOL) I met up with Girls of GB fellow admin Meshel of the Muffin Queen's Closet when I wore this! We had an awesome dinner at Maxie's in Milwaukee, and THAT was worth writing home about! The dress was comfortable and the pleating was cute, but I don't think it did my body any favors.

For a while I was wondering if I was in the minority when I said I liked this shirt. I actually liked the faux leather pocket - I thought it was a cute unique part of the shirt.  I just tried it on and sent it back because it's too warm to wear for me in HI but I really would have loved to wear this around. It's super comfortable and a little funky. You could wear this with a blazer for work or jeans for weekend errands. Very cute!
