Great basic!

Wore this everywhere and considered buying. So comfortable and easy to throw on. Because of the smocking you can definitely go down a size.

Cute fall Hill House

This dress is perfect for fall in Charleston, where sweater weather just doesn’t seem to find us. Come October, I’m over pastels and florals, but still need something lightweight. I wore this with sandals for work and to a pumpkin carving party. It’s not as puffy as it looks in the photo—that was mid twirl. Considering buying this one

Simple and cute

This dress was perfect for work! The sleeves did fall off my shoulders some but it wasn’t a huge problem. Probably could have sized down and been good.

Hill house is always a win!

This is a terrible picture but it’s the only one I got. I wore this dress several times, can be dressed up or down and I was able to wear a regular bra! Comfy, cute, polished perfection!

It’s giving funeral

This dress has the classic Hill House style with ruffled straps and a smocked bodice, but in black it feels more formal and almost funeral-like. The flowy tiers are pretty, but it needs bright accessories to lighten the mood.

Cute casual dress!

This is a very cute casual dress that you can dress up or dress down. SO comfortable! Length was perfect. However, I could’ve sized down- I ordered the same style dress in a different color in an XS and I liked the fit of that one a little better.

Great maternity dress

Wore this throughout month 8 of pregnancy - date night, everyday dress with jean jacket, etc. Stretchy without looking like a maternity dress and would easily work pre- and post-baby as well. Only challenge if you are larger chested is finding a bra that doesn’t show in the corners of the square top.

Perfect when when it’s too hot to wear anything

This was the perfect dress for this time of year, when it’s too hot to wear anything but you still want to look put together. No bra required! Can’t wait to try this in all the other colors and patterns.

A true classic!

You can never go wrong with a nap dress. Such a great summer piece. Fabric isn’t heavy but also is pretty durable. I call it my elevated mom uniform and always get compliments when wearing out and about.
