Trying on this corset dress that also comes in navy! Thick enough and with some support to wear without a bra

White would be pretty for an engagement photo shoot or bridal activities. XS is very fitted on me - measures 15” across the top of the bust, and 12.5” across the waist when lying flat. Bust cups for size XS are also on the slightly smaller side.

The dress is made of a structured fabric that has a slightly thicker weight to it and adjustable straps.

• Trying on dress in XS. The fabric is so flowy and light as air! I’m usually an xxs so the fit is a little big on me at the neckline with some gapping - the tie back style helps with the fit since I can tie it more snugly, but this would fit ideally on someone who is a true XS. Colorful lemon citrus and floral print is so pretty for summer events or a wedding.

Sharing pieces that I purchased a while back and wore often on vacation - this swimsuit has great coverage at the tummy and rear!

• Cotton long swim cover up size xxs - This style is a loose fit, on the bigger side and straighter cut (doesn’t nip in at the waist). I’ve been wearing this cover up open with swimsuits , and also belted to give it a little waist definition when wearing as a resort maxi dress.

• high rise swimsuit bottom xxs , the ruching is very tummy friendly and my most comfy and forgiving bikini bottom with good back coverage too

• Bikini top xs with detachable straps and light removable padding

• Wicker bag

Some of your most loved pieces from the past two months!

• Dolce Vita flats 5.5 - these have been getting so much wear from me! A spring staple. You guys have shared great feedback on both the DV and the target dupe

• Gap gauze cotton dress with matching mini, girls options . I take size Xs petite which fits a little loose on me

• Madewell linen shorts xxs - relaxed fit, tailored look in the front with elastic stretch waist in the back. Xxs is Looser fit on me but very comfy.

• Madewell minimal sandals 5.5. Runs a little narrow across the front strap but comfy for me without breaking in needed

• Madewell Perfect Vintage Jeans 24 petite- my most worn Madewell denim style, flattering with flats wedged or a low heel. Would recommend these in both the ecru : vintage canvas and Altoona blue wash

• black cotton dress - I own one from nordstorm that’s sold out and many have been happy with this Everlane one that looks very similar, plus has pockets and a slightly shorter length for petites. The Everlane is made of stretch jersey on top and cotton poplin skirt. I would take size xxs

• Levi’s Wedgie straight jeans in “fully baked” light wash 24 x 26 - fits TTS, one of their most versatile styles that fits me well with flats! I also own these in “space to think” medium wash and “in the clouds” white wash

One more classic white cotton summer dress.

Compared to the other maxi, that one is a little dressier and more fitted at the bust with a structured skirt, while this one has more flexibility and stretch all around with a flowier, slightly more casual fabric.

Fits beautifully in xxs off the rack on me. smocked waist with stretch all around, stretch around the top of bust, and adjustable feminine spaghetti style straps. Cotton gauze fabric is airy and comfy with a lined skirt and bodice.

This should be early bump friendly due to the waist stretch and is nursing friendly.

• dress 1: A line maxi dress 00 fits me well off the rack. The bust fits me and can stretch to fit someone with a slightly bigger chest as well, I’m thinking up to a C cup.

This cotton fabric has structure to it and the skirt is double layered and full. Spaghetti thin straps have an adjustable button. Front part buttons all the way down

• dress 2: Fit and flare mini dress 00, altered - I have the shoulder straps pinned shorter one inch.

This style fits me looser at the straps and bust and petites would likely want to shorten the straps. Shapely fit and flare structure with detailed trim

alemais makes the most beautiful pieces although a splurge - this particular dress style comes back each season in new prints

• size 0 is petite friendly and hits me at ankle length, 100% linen with adjustable straps, and I found the bust to fit snug even with the smocked back.

Unfortunately, the next size up (2) is listed to be 4 inches longer so not as petite friendly!

J. Crew summer arrivals! for weddings, summer parties, and elevated style occasions.

A few of my most worn neutral summer shoes I have had for several years and still reach for all the time! None of these required any breaking in for me and were comfortable out of the box

• Loafers 5.5. Great work / weekend / travel shoe

• Flat slide sandals, size 5. A major benefit of the patent leather is that I have worn them many times in light water situation, such as poolside, waterparks with the kids and they have held up perfectly fine

• Schutz clear pvc block heel slide sandals 5.5. These continue to be a go to for me since the clear strap aspect is elongating and flattering.

• Low block heel slides sandals, size 5. Mine are an older color, but they are available in several other neutrals this year.

Straps are not adjustable. Fits me as a empire waisted cropped length style. I’m 5 feet tall and I feel the waistline would be super high on someone taller.

Quince try ons - linking to a few other pieces I either own or have tried on and would recommend. Their tencel jersey collection is SO soft!

I’m 5 feet tall trying on the jumpsuit and smocked linen dress both in XS. Petite friendly fit, also both are bump and nursing friendly due to the stretch

For the linen dress I was able to go without a bra due to the smocking and color

FYI Although the linen dress straps have stretch, The neckline might be a little high on someone who is several inches taller than me

Jumpsuit torso length also seems short for someone much taller than me

This also comes in a shorter dress version.
