Wanted to love
I rented this for a vacation in New England and really wanted to love it but it wasn't my favorite. The sweater is a bit itchy, not unbearable but I was expecting softer. The arms were also short.

Wore this to explore a city!
Great on vacation. Wore this all day with cute tennies to walk around and explore. It is heavier weight, almost sweatshirt material but it wasn't too hot. While the waist is cinched and shows your figure it is not too tight at all and doesn't show too much tummy. 10/10 for a casual look.

I should have sized up but my size wasn't available. This was very short so I didn't wear.

Just rent it!
Wore this for an engagement party. Would also be great for a rehearsal dinner. Could easily dress up or make it a more casual look. I also tried it with a gold belt and it looked much better without.

Wanted to love but too short for work
I got this for a work function and was disappointed that it was too short to be appropriate. Would be fine for a social occasion though.

No stretch!
Great structured dress! I sized up because I have a wide ribcage and I want am glad I did! The dress has no give and I felt much more comfortable with a little room. Wore to a formal wedding. The pattern also hid the stomach area nicely. Wore sticky boobs with this.

Wanted to love but very dropped
This was just okay. The preppy style seemed appealing but it is very cropped which is not my style.

So many compliments
Loved this shirt so much. I got so many compliments and wore it many times between social outings and work. It is not cropped, but definitely flowy. Material is on the heavier side.

Perfect combination of classy and sexy
Loved this dress so much! I brought it on a trip and it traveled well. Ended up wearing it for a nice dinner and the fit was perfect. Just tight enough to show your figure but not too tight or uncomfortable. The dress definitely has some give.

Wanted to love, but pass on this dress
I usually love Ulla Johnson items but this one was a miss. I got my usual size and this was basically a floor length dress. For reference I am 5’5”. The material is lightweight. It also shows everything in the stomach so if you are conscientious of that area beware. I really was excited about this dress and was sad when I received it.

Reviews are right - straps are tight
I thought since. I have a smaller chest I could make it work but the straps were very tight. I got this for a Puerto Rican wedding and opted to wear my backup. Yellow is also a hard color for me and I wasn’t nearly tan enough to pull it off. Sad it didn’t work for me!

Reviews were right!
This was a fun dress! A bit outside of my usual color palette but fun to try something new. It traveled really well and was great for a tropical wedding I attended. Not too tight and the ruching around the tummy was super forgiving.

Rent it!
Wore to a Puerto Rican wedding for tropical vibes and it was perfect! Very comfortable. I could wear a normal bra, but had to change the straps to be crisscross. Very flowy and not formfitting. Could be great for maternity as well! If you’re questioning it, rent it!

Cute basic dress with a pop of color!
This is a great everyday dress. I wore it with sneakers to walk around a city on vacation. The shoulders go in a touch so I wore a bra that crisscrossed in the back. It is also tight on the ribs if you have a larger rib cage like me.

Beautiful dress but tight!
I received compliments all night! This dress is very tight in the hips and the ribs, so perhaps size up if you’re in between sizes.

There is a lot of fabric but this is a great, easy dress. Can be dressed up or down easily. Bonus - it has pockets!

Tight in the ribs
This was a little tight for me and I was uncomfortable most of the day. If in between sizes go up. It was tight around the ribs and there was a bit of gaping by the buttons.

Beware of cutout. A lot of dress.
Got this for work until I realized there is a cutout in the front. My fault for not looking close enough in the pics, but it was also just a lot of dress.

Dress is very classy with heavier material. It does not travel well though as it gets very wrinkly.

Great pop of color
A good sweater with a beautiful pop of color. It wasn't too heavy but not too light. The length of the sweater is a bit long, but I just tucked it under for better proportions

Cute dress but similar to other reviews probably better for those with fuller chests. The clip on the front kept coming undone and my bra kept showing.
