I got nonstop compliments while wearing this dress. It’s very lightweight, so easy to travel with, and minimal wrinkles. I hung it up in my hotel room and it was fine. The next morning takes minimal styling because there’s so much detail in the top. I wore this with black tights and red shoes, and with combat boots….and loved it both ways!

This dress gives off total Scandi girl vibes! The lightweight parachute fabric is comfortable and has flattering rouching and statement puffy sleeves. It's a great length for petites and even has pockets.

Just a heads-up: it's tight around the chest and armpits, so be sure to size up and enter from the bottom. I would recommend sizing up if you have a larger chest.

The only issue I had with this is that it’s crazy static. Maybe it would be better over bare legs but I wore it over sheer tights and nothing could make it non-clingy. The smocked top is a little (not a lot) stretchy but runs small - the 4 is the smallest size and it fits like a zero. Below the waist/rib it’s not fitted at all. 

Kinda weird, but also super fun! Fits snug in the chest but tts elsewhere and even has pockets. Fun for work, or can dress up! 

Fits great, makes an excellent swooshing sound while walking. Looks expensive. Would rent again!

its lovely but definitely tight thru the chest. 

Loved this dress and ordered an 8, but I received a FR8, which is like a US4. Surprisingly, it fit pretty well since it's so oversized, except in the bust. I couldn't get the top zipper done up. My guess is I'd need a FR10 or 12. So in US sizes, it's oversized, but the sizing is very confusing. 

Love this dress, but had to size up 2 sizes vs my usual size with this designer and it was still a little snug

Light parachute like fabric, and cool design. not flattering on top since it’s a snug fit at a 36A/B cup.  

Oddly enough, I got a lot of compliments on this dress, but I can't figure out why. My husband said I looked like a witch and asked where my broom was, and I tend to agree with his assessment of the aesthetic. Also, the dress was big most places but tight in the armpit area, which made it uncomfortable. I gave it a two because some folks found it likeable. 

I couldn’t bring myself to post a picture because the dress just doesn’t photograph well. This is niche but you know what this dress reminds me of? The black dress Pauline Harris wears in Anne of Avonlea (Anne of Green Gables series). Shower curtain material meets Victorian mourning chic.  Very tight in the chest and I went up a size so the waist was huge and the top didn’t fit right. 

this dress reminded me of how a black garbage bag might look if it was artfully decorated with ruffles. I’ve got a decent baby bump going at the moment so I’m sure my perception might be different pre-baby, but man, this dress did not drape well on me haha 

This was the weirdest fit. Meant for mini shoulders and chest. I am small busted and this was still too small. Do not advise renting!
