The fit

The dress needs to be adjusted so the extra material for the cowl doesn’t look frumpy. But if you can adjust it by shifting it over, it’s cute.

Not going to wear

Maybe if I had a larger chest, but there is a little too much material in the front

I’ll Be Out in a Sec!

On my pear shaped body this dress is giving hard “I was just getting dressed and had to grab this towel to open the door” vibes. This would be KILLER on a tall, thin frame. But on my curvy self, it was just the fanciest toga in all the land. Pass for me.

Adorable dress on! It does fit slightly weird due to the ruching, but is a super cute style!

Very low back

This dress is super sexy - beware that the back is very low. Not suitable for a wedding. Also the cowl in the front goes pretty low.

Fabric sits funny

The fabric on the hips grabbed tightly - making it not flow

Not right

Pretty dress. Great material. Did not look right in the mid section. Too large overall. Could not wear.

Might be better for tall gals

I’m 5’2” with broad shoulders and a size 12 in most cocktail length formal dresses (even though most of my pants are a size 6). The front of this dress draped fine but was way too big in the back and hem hit the floor. It probably would have fit better if I went down a size or two. But even if it was more fitted, on my short frame it would more likely look like a pretty toga. On someone much taller it would look great.

Way too big but good in theory!

Should have sized way closer to my normal 8! But if it has been the right size, I did like the dress.

Baggy in the waist

Was not flattering in the waist area too much fabric and built for a shorter torso. Didn't hit me right and no way to extent the halter neck. Wore with a maxi shirt over as a top.
