Can’t pull off the oversized look
It was also warmer than I needed.

Fun, pretty and easy to wear
I did end up wearing light shapewear, but it wasn’t that clingy.

Comfy and pretty for a conference
I used light shapewear for midsection smoothing, and a slip from Target to avoid see through issues since this was for a work conference. Otherwise it was really comfortable and enjoyable to wear.

Too much for me, didn’t wear
Lots of fabric, maybe someone taller could have pulled it off better.

Not the most flattering thing I’ve ever worn, but the most Nashville thing I’ve ever worn
The style was very cute for a work conference in Nashville, and the 42 fit okay while standing, but it gapped while sitting. The sewn shut pockets were sort of lumpy, which added a bit more unflattering bulk. I got compliments, and it was fun and differentiated, but prob not intended for a pear shape like me.

Cute pattern, sleeves not too much
I was a little self conscious about the floofy shoulders but went for it and was glad I did. The sleeves were a little loose.

Good dress for work conference
I got the large as backup but found it was too long. The medium fit well and the textured pattern was a nice touch.

Perfect rental for a winter break on the east coast. Runs big but not in a bad way, you can fit layers underneath.

Love the sparkle, but...
Tum cling was accentuated by the (otherwise really pretty) sequins. Glad I wore it to a backyard NYE gathering with one couple vs a big party, would have felt like people would have asked me if I was expecting! :-/

Cute but clingy
Husband liked it :) Definitely clings to tum and hips, etc. Cute for date but I'd be too self conscious to wear it for a professional event.

Nice color but tight arms and collar is less stiff than expected
Arms are tight, they loosen throughout the day. I liked the collar shape but needed to keep my shoulders way back to keep it that way, otherwise it folded in

Great style, but get some fashion tape
Fit great all over except in the shoulders, where it was falling off. Fixed that with fashion tape that kept it stuck to my chest, but that was kind of a pain. Long hanger straps, you need to push them down into the pant legs to prevent them from being visible at the waistline. Still hella cute, lots of compliments.
