Wore it as a fun pick me up for a long winter. Definitely a nice length for tights on me at 5'4"

I really love the colors of this dress.  The cut wasn't the most flattering for my body type, though.  I'm 5'5 and I think this would be better on taller, thinner women with narrow hips.  I usually wear a 2 or a 4 in dresses, and I got the 36.  I think that was about right -- definitely not too big.  The armholes were tight, which made my arms look bigger, and I couldn't get the pockets to be totally flat.  Maybe the 38 would've been better for me.  It really is a beautiful dress, just not great on me.  

Fit: no give in material, so was a bit small on me, also pretty short.  However, it is sexy because it is short.

Colors are beautiful, I don't wear a lot of patterns, but this is an exception.  

I had a couple men tell me I looked beautiful walking down the street.  Doesn't happen everyday, definitely attention grabbing dress!

Weird fit especially in the shoulders.  Great for large busts.  So many compliments.  Fabric is pretty thick.  The pockets are placed in weird spots but it was such a beautiful dress. Looks like water colors are splashed on, very pretty 

As others described, the neck line is a little high and takes some getting used to. That being said, it was a great work dress. Conservative and added a little color to my normal black attire. Other additional notes- the fit worked well with a larger bust (32 E) which is usually an issue for me when it comes to sizing. 

It wasn't the most figure flattering for a shift dress, I ended up adding a belt, but the colors were really bright, and my friends were obsessed with the large pocket detailing on the front! Overall a perfect dress for a baby shower and starbucks run!

The dress was really beautiful, the fit was a little strange though. The arm holes and neck holes were a little tight, but the body of the dress was pretty loose. It did not look good without the blazer in my opinion, but I LOVED the outfit when it was all put together. It also was tough to sit in because it scrunched up and became a little too short. All in all, I did like the whole outfit put together. 

Cute shift. I don't like sleeveless (and it was cold) so I wore with cropped black blazer. The pockets are the best.

Fits large, but is really cute.  Just size down.  

This style is perfect for fall! The print is so unique and fun, making it a great dress to transition from day to night. This style is form fitting and does not have any stretch in the fabric, so I would recommend sizing up as back up. I have wider-set hips, and although the size 36/US 2 definitely fit, I would've liked to go up to the size 4 for more comfortable room in the hips. Also note that this style has rather tight arm holes. My favorite part about this dress are the hidden pockets! Pair with booties and a leather jacket to add some edge!

This dress was perfect for a "garden attire" event! Was a little tight on me in the neck and arm holes but other than that it was very comfortable! I loved having the pockets!
