For great for the most part. Unable to wear a bra due to high neck and backless. Loved the color and fit otherwise. Sized up due to other reviews saying hips were tight and I agree. Glad I sized up 

It felt comfortable to sit, stand, dance, and walk in. It was hard to get on, but easy to get off. I wasn’t pleased with how it looked in pics, but like the way it felt. 

Beautiful color! I ordered M and L based on reviews that it runs small. I opted for a silicone sticky bra and smoothing shorts for undergarments due to the fabric showing any and all lines. Both sizes fit me just fine from the waist down, the seam between bodice and skirt sat straighter on my body in the M. The bust darts were in the right place too but the back of the bodice looked too small. It pulled and gaped. Possibly my torso was too short to raise the neck where it needs to be but I feel I’m pretty average, my upper body is where I carry the least weight. I went with the L even though the front of the bodice was too big; bust darts at my lower ribs, risk of side-boob exposure, and the skirt seam now hung like a frown but the back didn’t look like I was hulking out. I was comfortable, the dress was loose you could even say “breezy” but alas, I couldn’t raise my arms over my head on the dance floor (couldn’t throw my hands in the air because I did care)! 

I usually wear a small for comfort medium in regular clothes.  I ordered a medium and a large. The large was to big in the bust area but everywhere else was fine.  I ended up going with the medium because the bust area fit me better.  Plus the length on the medium was better.  Wear spandex if you’re sizing down to the medium.  

Despite the mixed reviews, I loved this dress! The fabric has a nice weight to it and fell elegantly on my body. I loved the neck tie detail and how it looked with a simple knot + updo. The color was really flattering for olive tone skin.

I am 5’3” petite and this midi dress ended up a perfect maxi on me haha. The torso area was a little long for my body type but was fine as a wedding guest outfit for a semi formal wedding. It was also fun and easy to dance in!

One thing to consider - it was challenging to find the right bra for this! Maybe those who are experts in boob tape would be able to pull it off best!! 

The fabric is also difficult to manage. It wrinkles easily and will need a good steam before wear, but be careful not to get any actual water drops/spills on it while steaming because it will leave a very visible water stain!! I would purchase this dress if it wasn’t for this.
