In comparison to another sweater dress I own, this one was 2-3 times thicker and warmer. The knitted pattern caught a lot of eyes - when I wore it to work (paired with leggings as it’s definitely on the short side), I received compliments right and left. The turtleneck section has a lot of fabric, but that lends itself to the coziness. 

Slightly itchy neck but not overbearing. Loved this sweater!

Got this as a comfortable day dress to wear with boots and served great for just that!  Nothing to blow your mind away but comfortable and great for winter / fall.  I'm normally a 4 and the S was the perfect size in terms of being fitted but also loose enough to give the "big sweater look"

Got this to stay warm and get dressed easily while I was on crutches. It did the job and was cute. 

I loved this sweater dress so much but it was more of a long sweater than a dress. At 5’7 you can see from the photo the sleeves were way too short and I had to wear leggings. If you are tall I would recommend going up one or two sizes.

Short
Warm
Lotsa loose fibers on the sweater.  Well worn.  

Very cute but omg I was so itchy all day at work I couldn't wait to take it off. It's one of those itchy fabrics that when you put it on you think it's bearable but when you get to work you realize you've made a huge mistake. Sad. 

Had to go home and change before going out after dinner. Could not stop itching and was miserable! 

Runs a little large may be able to size down.

No issues with sizing. Great look for early spring. Comfortable and warm.

This was perfect for work but also great for a night out with lots of outside walking in the cold. 

I wanted to try out a new style so I got this sweater dress. IT WAS SO WARM! a little itchy but I'm not that sensitive so it's ok. 

This was warm, but fit weird in the arms. It was warm for a casual night out without a jacket. Wouldn’t get again because of the weird fit and  was boxy, no shape. 

Had to wear a long sleeve body suit and tights under it so I didn't crawl out of my skin. But it's cute!

I loved this sweater dress and thought about purchasing it.  The length and arms are on the shorter side.  I wore black tights with it which made it appropriate for work.  It was warm and comfortable.

Wore with above knee boots.  Heavy for indoors.

Ladiessss, I know you’re an XS and a 00 but trust me you want to size up. Especially if you’re tall - it won’t fit like a dress like some of you 5’7ers out there. I wore pants underneath & it was cute!

I wore this for an apple picking event and brunch with my girlfriends! Loved it! Received complaints for the style & autumn appeal! 

Cozy and warm, this sweater dress was lovely and looked great over black tights. It is a bit weighty, so no need to layer anything over it. The material is also thick, not super soft but didn't bother me. Can be dressed up with heels or more casual with leather boots. Had both the L and XL, but preferred the L. 

The dress is heavy and prefect for fall or winter dates nights. I wore for at at home photo session.

Great look. Very warm for cold days or nights.

Very warm, thick knit. Loved it, got compliments. It gets a little stretched out over time, and is a bit scratchy - best to wear a lightweight top underneath. Wore it with skinny jeans and thick leggings, both times with boots. Didn't work as a dress for me, as it was too short for my frame.

Cute sweater I wore more as a tunic type top than dress. Sleeves did not come to wrists and length would have been short without leggings. 

Super cute and super warm, I loved the look of this sweater dress. Just a little bit too itchy not to wear full length sleeves underneath.

Very heavy material especially with the full thick collar.  Absolutely beautiful and would pair with a camel straight leg but either too tall or wide for it to sit on me as a dress.

This "dress" is way too short to be worn without leggings or pants if you are over 5'8" like I am. It is very warm and cute, but the wool is definitely prickly. One weird thing is that it is purposefully "inside out" so the actual fair-isle design is on the inside and all the yarn carries from the "back" of the pattern are on the outside. This makes it very easy to snag things on the dress. 

It's WOOL! So be prepared for warm and also itchy - need something under for arms and legs

Definitely a boxy dress but was relaxed and comfy (when you get over the scratchiness...didn't bother me). Very warm.

It was a little short and I'm not very tall.  I had to wear leggings and would order a large for length next time. 

The dress fits true to size.  I would have loved to wear it, but I could not stand the itchiness.  I am fairly sensitive to wool, but have been able to wear other wool sweaters without much issue.  

Very cute and warm.  Great colors.  Had to wear with leggings as it was too short to wear alone.  Not itchy for me.
