ASOSPetiteDress2
Measurements: shoulder to shoulder = 11", armpit to armpit = 14", waist laying flat = 11.5", hips = 16", total length = 32"

Material: 100% polyester

Likes: High square necklace (so sophisticated), pin tuck detailing in the front, fitted (tiny) waist, concealed zipper in the back (not on side), length is perfect for petites, comes with matching belt, no alterations required for someone my size (but still room to breathe- it's not skin tight)
ASOSPetiteDress6
Dislikes: Unlined, a bit pricey for a polyester dress, wish it came in more colors

Verdict: Keeping! I got it during the 20% off sale so I figured for $42.97- it's not a bad work dress.

Shoes: Calvin Klein - size 5 (buy here)
AsosPetiteDress4
Measurements: shoulder to shoulder = 12", waist unstretched = 10.5", total length = 30"

Material: 98% viscose, 2% elastane

Likes: draped finish, long sleeves, slim cut belt (needs more holes punched in, high waistline, wrap detail, good vacation dress
ASOSPetiteDress5
Dislikes: Unlined and see-through, a bit pricey for a thin dress, wish it was a bit thicker and longer, plunging neckline (need to wear a cami), expensive, material is prone to pilling.

Verdict: Undecided- possibly keeping for a vacation dress? After my massive donations recently, I have thinned out my closets and need to replenish (especially clothes I can bring on vacation).


On another note, if you follow me on Pinterest,  I have treated myself to this Vintage brooch and these beautiful babies! So excited to share with you!
