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.

Height: 5'5"
Weight: 260
Chest: 45 (40 DD)
Waist: 41
Hips: 56
Thigh: 31.75

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!

My measurements in this dress are:
Height: 5'5"

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!

I thought this dress was so cute and I ordered it so I could wear it on my trip to Wisconsin. I didn't love it so much I had to bring it, so I sent it back right away, but it still deserves a nice review. It is, in fact, see-through, so you would want to wear a shirt and leggings under it, I'm not wearing anything under it in the pictures, but in person, you can definitely see through the knitting. It was so warm and comfortable, I would have loved to style it and wear it out and about, but it's too warm in HI to wear it here. I am still kicking myself for not bringing it, but if I lived somewhere cold, I would definitely have held on to this, and quite possibly have bought it.

My measurements in this dress are:
Height: 5'5"
