This dress was beautiful!  It fit perfectly in all the right ways.  The fabric is a lush silk, gorgeous lines, flowing skirt, loads of compliments! I wore it for a nice dinner out at Lake Atitlan in Guatemala.  5 stars, you will feel beautiful in this dress. 


I feel like I went rummaging around in the Met's archive and pulled out a vintage dress from the 30s. So unique and very flattering. Dare to be different! 

I love this dress!! Great material. After reading other reviews, I sized up bc the material is scarf-like and not stretchy. I also agree with reviewer about pushing the sleeves up- the dress looks much more elegant with arms being more bracelet Length. It is a bit low cut but not too ridiculous. I'm short, but with comfortable wedges, it's not too long. Overall, I love this dress and it's my face RTR so far!

Fit great in bust and waist. Loved the soft flowiness and cool sleeves. Looked great w a 3/4 sleeve cardi w puffy sleeves out. 

The dress is an absolutely incredible print and if it is pretty good it is cut with slightly less curves than my body shape however. So I did size up. There's no stretch in the fabric as other reviewer's have noted which makes it very hard to raise your arms over your head if it's fitted the way it is on me in the pic. However for wearing for a couple of hours it's just fine.

The fabric is as fine as a Hermes scarf and skims over a body like a cloud. The problem is the cut is for a woman with a body built for the runway. I am 5'4" and a natural 32DD which permits some flexibility but the bust seam should be two-inches lower. The bodice won't work with implants larger than a B-cup because the cut and fabric won't adjust. The length is to the floor if you aren't at least 5'6". Try pushing the sleeve cuff up as I did which makes the sleeve more architectural.

This dress is beautiful ! Pleats are amazing ! But the top is off . It's small  and tight around the The back and breast area . If you are bigger when cup C is a problem . I thought I can pull it off but was very uncomfortable ... sad . 

I really wanted to love this dress. It is really beautiful. The top has an odd fit and I don't know if someone with an larger chest could wear it. It was a little loose on me (I'm a 34A) and low cut but could have managed with a little fashion tape. But it was then tight right under the bust line. But the deal breaker was the length. This dress is LONG. I thought it would be more midi length but even with heels it was dragging on the floor a bit. I'm 5'6". Sadly this just won't work for me. 

This dress was love at first sight! I immediately bought an extra spot and rented it. Positives first: stunning design and stand out print. I'm sure this dress will bring in endless compliments. However, this is overshadowed by major fit issues. The top portion is badly designed- the bust seams come in too low, cutting off the chest at the most awkward spot. I don't think this dress will work for anyone with larger than a B cup. 

My arms aren't large or muscular but I couldn't get this over them.  The rest of the dress seemed to be a perfect fit.  Disappointing.

As many others have mentioned - this dress reminds me of a Hermès scarf.

That being said - the sizing is not ideal. I was able to fit my head and one arm. The length was also quite long. No give in the chest/breast area.

With my height, this was trailing on the ground about 5 inches, so I would say the length is actually about 63 inches based on lengths of other dresses I've worn. It was -Extremely-difficult to get into the top half of this dress (sized up one size!) to where I thought at one point it may be impossible, (and I have a flat chest and wear XS tops!) The shoulders/upper sleeves have that thing where it's tight when bringing arms forward. A pity because the fabric is gorgeous.
