Not crazy about the pattern but fits TTS

I felt like a kaleidoscope wearing the dress, but I did receive compliments on the dress.

I like the print

I really liked the print on this dress. It also seems well suited for longer limb people, the arms were nice and long and the length was nice. The tailoring was a little awkward on me and some areas felt small. I have an small waist hourglass shape and felt uncomfortable right under my boobs when sitting, it pulled a little too tight

Black Halo tends to be tight in the shoulders (so I size up), this dress is perfectly true to size.

Love the length and long sleeves for work. The pop of color is flattering, without being too much pink. Love it!

Fit me perfectly

I know some reviews have said the fit is weird but somehow it was perfect: I have slightly long arms, a long waist, wide hips and it totally worked. Love the pattern. Love the vneck.

Pretty pattern. Nice fabric. Just cut a little off

Fit wasn't quite right- A little too small in shoulders, too long in arms, too much material around waistline, hem a little long... but aside from that, fabric is BEAUTIFUL, and just the right amount of stretch to be comfortable. I wore it and could pull it off, but it was so close to being great.

Bizarre fit

Hate the fit of this dress. There are seams on the abdomen that give an unflattering pooch. I actually checked to see if this is supposed to be a maternity dress. Love the pattern but I would skip it.

Odd Fit. Size up.

Order up one size. This dress is odd. It was too tight to breathe from neck to knee, yet the arms are bulky, baggy and soooo long. The stomach also had a weird pooch effect. The material is pretty in the photo, but didn't quite look as nice in person. It is a nice weight for winter, and I imagine it's fairly warm. I just didn't wear it.

Warm and sophisticated

I rented this for an evening work event in Aspen CO during the winter. It was warm and cozy. It's tight, so it's not the most comfortable dress but I was still able to eat dinner and not feel too constricted. Overall it's functional and looks nice, but it's not super special or exciting. Hence only 3 stars. I'd rent it again for the same purpose - semi dressy work event in cold weather.

Original and flattering

I got compliments wearing this dress and felt good even over zoom (I got up to stretch a few times, and it was comfortable). The fabric has nice weight to it and it is a nice combination of groovy yet proper. The high back neck and V neck front lend an original "soft Goth" vibe. Worth renting again as the temperatures cool towards Fall and Winter.

Nice dress but I needed a different size

This is a nice dress. I sized up based on my other experiences with this brand. I should've stuck with my true size, because it was way too big in the hips. Might rent again in the proper size.

Body con sheath

Wasn't able to wear this as it did not go past my thighs. Might tighter than expected. Probably not a great fit if you are curvy. I've got the 3 Bs - boobs, belly and booty.

Modern modest

This dress can be worn on so many occasions. It's very modest but the deeper neckline keeps it from being boring. It fit beautifully and had good stretch.

Cool print but conservative for work

The material and fit of this dress is great--hugs curves, but the length and long sleeves made it great for work (with a cami underneath, since the cut in the front is a little low). Unique print!

Cute dress, but has a weird pooch in the lower abdomen area

I first ordered the dress in a size 8 (my normal size), and couldnt get it zipped up past my lower back. I ordered it again in a 10, which fit perfectly, minus this weird pouch in the lower abdomen. It was just a lot of open space in that area, despite fitting my waist.

Nice dress for work into evening out

Heavy material so can only be worn on cooler days. Falls below the knee and has somewhat of a matronly fit. Tight on bust and waist but runs large on hips. I rented for work. Nice print but made me feel older.

Not my favorite.

The last Black Halo I wore I loved, but this one didn't fit nearly as well -- it felt loose in the stomach area, baggy almost. Maybe it was stretched out, but it wasn't a great look. The material was pretty thick, this one was good for the cold, I just wished it had fit better.

Not for Long Torsos

I think since I have a long torso, this was tight in the hips and loose in the stomach, since my stomach was about where the hips on the dress were and my hips were in the thigh part of the dress... Is that confusing? If you have a long torso, I think you know. Oh well. Nice fabric, but couldn't wear.

I tried this on in Chicago store, but was in big hurry. My daughter said my waist looked tiny, so I was a taker!!! BUT, when I got home and tried it on, the hips seemed large. Didn't wear.

Fit fine on top, but small in the hips/booty

This dress was attractive in person, and I can tell it would be warm, but it was far too tight in the hips for me to wear it.

Oddly sized

The fit of this sheath was off. I found it too big in the top but pretty true to size through the hips. I 100% agree with other reviewers that the sleeves are way too long. I had to fold them under. I usually size up in black halo but if I rented this again I'd go down.
