I bought it!
Super light weight. Adorable pattern. Subtly sexy open back. A breeze to take on and off. Nice for a longer torso curvy gal. I bought it!

Meh.
Meh. I was expecting oversized, but these were a bit much. Fabric was heavier than I would like in a cropped, loose pair of pants. Overall meh.

Unnecessarily tight at hips
The dress had a sort of drop waist where the ruffles attach. And it's is weirdly tight around the hips. The rest of the dress fit beautifully so I don't feel that sizing up would have been flattering. The color and pattern are gorgeous and the fabric soft and luscious. If you have small hips - go for it. Otherwise don't bother.

Adorbs
Adorable maxi. The high/low hem line, back, and neckline are flattering. The waist is not, but the rest of the dress is cute enough to overlook that. My biggest problem with this dress is that I had to wear a bra - and not because I wanted/needed support. The embroidery down the front holds the panels of the dress together and there are little gaps. They are not large, but large enough to say hello nipples! I hate wearing a bra when I don't need to, and besides this, I didn't think the dress needed one.

Super chill maxi
Very comfortable maxi! The detail on the straps and around the bust is lovely. It has pockets! It definitely runs large. I am a solid 6/medium and the small was perfect, if not a bit large. The straps are a bit large and fell off my shoulders. There's also a pesky side zip. I didn't even need it; I could pull the dress right over my head.

Yup. It's weird.
I don't know if it's the fabric or the cut of this jumpsuit or both, but it's weird. The material is much heavier than I expected so it's not great for hot weather, though the spaghetti straps and openness of the top doesn't work for cooler weather. The material also only stretches side to side. Finally, it's clingy. The cut of the dress is such so that there is lots of extra room around the hips and stomach. But because of the fabric it still clings. So there's lots of extra fabric clinging to your stomach and bunching up when you sit. It's inexplicable and so not cute.

Very tight on hips!
I'm not sure what happened here. Other reviewers seemed to suggest that this dress runs large, but perhaps they misunderstood the sizing. Idk, but the size 3, which corresponds to a medium, was tight in the bust and verrrrry tight in the hips. It was very unflattering on my figure, an hourglass with around 10/12 inch difference in my waist and hips/chest. This type of dress is usually not flattering for me, but I got the sense from other reviews that it might work. Even if I had sized up to the large, I doubt this would have worked. If you know this sort of straight cut t-shirt dress works for you, go for it, it's adorable. If not, don't bother.

Eye catching basic
I rented this bag to "audition" it for my everyday bag. It is an adorable, well made bag. The only problem being that it is not quite large enough for me to use as an everyday bag. I live in a city and do not have a car, therefor, I prefer bags that can hold quite a bit. If I decide to grab a bottle of wine or some food while I'm out, I want it to fit in my bag. If you don't have these needs, then this bag is perfect!

Sassy party dress
I didn't end up wearing this dress anywhere because it didn't fit my style/needs. It is an extremely adorable dress though. The dress is definitely a party/night out dress, especially if you are older. If your style tends towards the more feminine and bright then you may be able to get away with it on a weekend afternoon with some white sneakers. The fit, however, is fantastic. True to size. On the shorter side, but not inappropriate. The ruching details hide any problems in the stomach area and nip in the waist. Very flattering and comfortable dress!

Trendy and breezy
The pattern is great - transported me right back to the 90s! The material is lightweight and the center slit comes up just to above the knee making the skirt breezy and flirty. I would say this skirt runs large; I'm a true hourglass that usually wears a 6/8 or medium. The small fit fine, if perhaps slightly tight over my hips. Because of the loop and eye style of buttons you may get some pulling where it is tight. The skirt was very high waisted. I have a long torso so this was fine. Shorter ladies with short torsos may find it too long. Also if you are self conscious about your tummy you may want to wear spanx.
Floral Front Slit Midi Skirt

Comfortable and stunning!
From the vibrant colors to the flowy skirt, this dress is stunning. I wore it out for a very casual dinner and a concert, but in no way felt over dressed. You could definitely pair with heels and nice jewelry for a fancier look. It's a cotton silk blend so it's incredibly soft and lightweight. It fit true to size, except in the bust which is a little tight. When I buttoned the middle button it gaped and pulled so I only buttoned the bottom two. The cleavage was there, but with the collar it looked classy, not trashy. This dress is pure fun!

Body confident, not body conscious
This dress is hot! It fit my hourglass figure perfectly. The fabric is thick enough that it holds you up and in. I did not need a bra, and even after a huge dinner, my belly pooch was negligeable and I still felt super confident and sexy! Because the material is thick, however, it is a little hot. Best saved for cooler nights or an air conditioned event.

Big top, small bottom
This was my back up dress, so I didn't end up wearing it, thankfully. It did not fit well at all. The hip and thigh area is extremely snug, while the bust was loose. The side cutouts we're not flattering because as a true hourglass I have a pretty small waist. The fabric on the front and back was loose and puffy. It actually made me look wider from the side, and provided no extra emphasis for a small waist in the front. I am pretty consistently a size 6. I didn't even bother trying on the 6 in this dress. It was ridiculously small.

Fun and flirty dress!
A really beautiful dress! I'm almost 5'5" and usually wear a 6, so I ordered the 6R with the 4R as my backup. The 6R fit beautifully - fitted in the waist, with just enough room in the bust and hips. You cannot wear a bra, but I found that the dress was fitted enough and the material thick enough that it didn't matter at all. The length was okay. I wore a two inch wedge, which is more my preference, but the dress came a solid inch off the ground. Ladies who like big heels, may want to go long. The material is pretty thick. It was a cold, rainy day when I wore it so I didn't mind, but it might not be the best midsummer dress. My one negative was that while the 6R fit great and was in great condition, the 4R was not in the best condition. If I had needed to go with that size, I would have been kind of bummed. The hem seemed a bit dingy, and the back strap was clearly stretched out. Additionally, the seam beneath the zipper was coming loose. Nothing was super noticeable, but it would have felt less than special to wear that dress.
