I like the silk blouse and all of the dresses, sorry I'm no help.  It seems both of the woven (Joe Fresh?) dresses have some fit issues in the back, this could be due to an inexpensive construction, not as many seams and darts in back etc.  But you look great in them, and I only noticed the fit issues in back after others mentioned it and I looked more closely.

I thought it ran large but I am smaller than I used to be. I bought a Theory jacket in sz 2 today & could button it. It was snug how I like my blazers. I am sz 2 in the Joe Fresh dress. Joe Fresh is sold in JC Penney for those of you who don't live in Canada or NY. They don't carry the white dress though. I checked when I returned the dotty dress today cos I knew some of you were interested. And I don't know if you can see it but the dress has perforated pleather patches, one at neck & one on one pocket. Really cool. ElleH on "K/R: Mod in NY, urgent, have to return while here.

I think the fit of Dotty on the back is just how you are standing. I believe they will soften somewhat with time. I would keep all 3 if you are able.

They're totally mod and you are rocking them. To be honest, I don't love dress #7 - it's more Reno than mod in my book - and the blouse doesn't excite me that much. At least not tucked.

You're young and have great legs, so why not show them!  The white one I'm not as crazy about, but I defer to those who know more about current styles. Love the Zara dress, and the silk blouse looks nice. It doesn't gape in front, and doesn't look too small to me. I vote keep both. annagybe on "K/R: Mod in NY, urgent, have to return while here.

So Angie would you keep white dress then? Is it too stiff and odd at back? What about checkered one is that a keeper? Angie can you get Joe Fresh online? Do you want me to get one & ship it to you? They run big. I'm a sz 2 in these dresses & XS in blouse. Angie on "K/R: Mod in NY, urgent, have to return while here.

That's the it shoe of the season and you wear it perfectly :). If I could wear them in white - I would. But my feet won't have it. Elle, I love the dotty frock from the front, but it seems an odd fit at the back. LOVE the white dress. I want one too! So 2013. Blouse is fab! You don't need to do yoga in it :) Low heeled lack booties are on your shopping list! Diana on "K/R: Mod in NY, urgent, have to return while here.

I think I have that silk blouse (the one with no pockets, right?), in the pinstripe pattern.  I love it, it's super comfy, and the price is fantastic for silk, so I vote keep.  rae on "K/R: Mod in NY, urgent, have to return while here.

I would rather return things these days than settle for bargains. The dresses will stay stiff I think. They wont be getting run through a washing machine over & over like jeans. I am mostly concerned with the way they don't drape. I think volume looks odd without the drape do you? Kristin L on "K/R: Mod in NY, urgent, have to return while here.

I love everything except for the dotty dress from the back. It looks like the fit is off--pulling around the waist. I know it is a shift but it looks like you need more length in the torso to get it to drape the way the white dress drapes. The white dress is gorgeous on you, btw. Love the silk shirt as well. Ethereal and polished.  Kristin L on "K/R: Mod in NY, urgent, have to return while here.

The crease should come out, but you may only get about an inch more considering you would still need to put a hem in it. Is that enough for you? I think I prefer #7 to the first dress, but that's just my opinion. The 2nd dress does look kind of stiff. Do you like the 2nd dress and silky top?
