Stop Staring! Raileen Dress Review

     Yowza!  This company knows how to make a knock-out dress!  I've been admiring their style for a couple of years now, but this is my first purchase.  The styles I love most were never listed in my size and at around $150 per dress, I really didn't want to risk it.  After seeing a  post from another blogger (who I know wears my size), the search began for the Raileen Dress by Stop Staring! at a price that I could afford.  Now, I know this dress carries a hefty price tag, and most of you won't be able to find it as inexpensively as I did, but bear with me because...well, the time of year when it's OK to splurge or casually hint to our loved ones what we might like if they were to splurge on us is just around the corner.

    Surprisingly enough, I managed to find one in new condition with the tags still on for only $60 on PoshMark.  But, there was one and only one, so I didn't have time for anymore debate.  I purchased the dress and it arrived within the week.  Trying this dress on, oh-my-goodness!, it was meant to be.  I have to say that it is a bit too big for me because I'm not at my goal weight yet, but I have no doubt that when I reach it, this little beauty will fit like a glove. 

    The dress is well made and the fabric is of good quality, though I would recommend the right (no lines) under garments especially if this dress is form fitting.  Read the sizing guides carefully before buying because this dress is meant to be snug.  Even though I normally wear an XS, this size small is going to work perfectly.  This dress comes in a variety of color combos and I highly recommend any of them for a classic, curve flattering look.
