Perfect party dress
Fun and bright! Fabric was fancier than I expected it to be. Fit well at the chest, snug enough that i comfortably skipped a bra.

Great season transitioning dress
Has some stretch for a snug and flattering fit. Paired with boots it was perfect for spring days that were still a little chilly.

Weird arms!
More matronly than I would have hoped and the sleeves should have a slit in them - they are strangely constricting.

Perfect on a fancy date night
It was a little bit of a squeeze to zip up but looked great once on. I had to wear a minimizer bra though, I was surprised by how little stretch the top had.

Surprisingly little stretch in the top!
I expected the sweater top to have a little give but it almost felt like it was felted. I'm usually a s-m in tops and a m-l in dresses so figured a medium would be good but the top was constricting. I didn't end up wearing it.

Buttons that work with big chests
True to size, very easy to wear. I'm short and it wasn't too long, paired it with boots in early spring. I'm large chested and struggle with button ups but these buttons stayed put for a day at work and also a night out! Only "okay" because it's a little modest but these buttons stayed fit is snug enough that it doesn't feel matronly.

Very pretty but really loose and boxy. I brought the Dress in on the front and back with tailoring rings so I could wear it.

Oversized and cozy
Loose fitting design makes sizing easy. I probably could have sized down. Sleeves were wide and long, I ended up folding the edges up but that length worked well.

Looked like a robe!
Waist was small but since it's a wrap it was easy to fix with a hairband. Didn't end up wearing because it looked like a fancy spa robe.

Eye catching!
I have a small frame and large chest. Felt a little big in the shoulders but the puff sleeves probably made that feel worse than it was. Buttoned over my DDD chest without issue! Wore on a hot weather vacation and got tons of compliments.

Should have sized down
I have a small frame but a big chest so struggle finding jackets that fit my shoulders and close over my boobs. I could easily have gotten a small in this adorable and very warm jacket!

Great work event dress
A little snugger than expected but also don't know if sizing up would have fit better. Was good for a work event - not revealing at all but has a generally flattering fit.

I'm usually an 8 or 10 - glad I went with 8. It fit well without being too tight anywhere. Easy to dress up or down.

Got it for a garden party wedding. Large was a better fit for my chest. Perfect for the occasion - not too fancy for an event but too fancy for everyday wearing.

Better for evening than day
Very low in the front and didn’t like how it looked with a cami underneath. Made it work with a safety pin though. Would be cute for venues where cleavage is more acceptable than the office!

Snug if you’re busty
I should have gone with a large but that was more my wishful thinking than the item running small. I was able to make it work with a minimizing bra. May be too short for work if you are tall but okay for my 5 foot frame.

Size down!
I was misled by how fitted the top looked in all the photos - there is so much stretch on this top due to the smocking on the back. Take everyone’s word and size down!
