Beautiful dress
Beautiful dress for a formal wedding. It was about an inch off the floor in 4 inch heels. I was able to wear a bra but just used a safety pin in the front given the neckline. Comfy and beautiful.

Gorgeous but didn’t work for me
Too small for my torso width so that it didn’t zip up above my waist, although the length was to the floor. The chest area was slightly big for my smaller bust so I don’t think a size up would work. With this size being smaller. The skirt didn’t go above my waist so I can see how other reviewers would need to take off the entire dress to go to the bathroom.

Perfect romper
This is a perfect romper. Has a zipper, easy to get on and off and is of a very light weight thin (but not see through material). It’s a tad low for me since I have a small bust but definitely workable. Love the pattern too

Cute every day dress
This is a floor length (on my petite height), sleeveless, sweater dress, with a high slight mid thigh. It’s great for a day out but might be too warm if it’s hot out.

Cute romper
This cute romper that looks like a dress is lightweight and perfect for a vacation. The shorts underneath are a thin lining material but it’s good enough to cover anything if I move around. It is a little big on top for someone with a small bust.

Cute romper!
Cute romper for a day in the city. The torso is a bit long for my petite frame but give the cinched waist, it still worked! The material is a light linen and the buttons are a wooden pattern. The front has buttons all the way up so leave time for when you go to the bathroom.

Beautiful
This dress is gorgeous and flows so easily. The pattern is also beautiful too. This for just a smidge smaller than other Sachin & Babi dresses I’ve worn since I got the wrong size. As such, there are these folds in the bust that flared out, but should be resolved with the right size or fashion tape.

Gorgeous dress for a wedding!
Fun, festive, and great for an outdoor wedding! For my petite frame, I was able to wear with flats or heels. Usually drop waists emphasize weight in my midsection but this managed to make me look great

Stunning!
The bust was a little big for me and the dress long for my frame, but I can make it work with heels and it's so beautiful! One thing to note is that the bust has sequins, which is not evident in pics. But it's a stunning dress that's perfect for a formal wedding. One quality issue out of the bag was that the hook in the back came off but I had another dress rented I could use

This has gold threaded through the jacket, the buttons weren’t functional, and the shoulders/ jacket itself were slightly too big. Not for me

Stunning dress!
Absolutely gorgeous dress with a beautiful pattern and great fabric. The dress had pockets, was floor length with 4 inch heels, and was perfect for a formal wedding. Note that you have to have a strapless bra converter given the lower back dip.

Straps are long for my frame and fall off. However the dress is beautiful. It is fitted on top, so bustier gaps might need to size up

Fit was too tight for me
The dress was tight on me and was a little stiffer in the midsection than I would’ve liked. Loved the adjustable straps and wasn’t too long with heels. I love DTP dressed but this one was not for me. Perhaps I could’ve worn a size up but I wore something else.

Wore this to a bridal shower. It's a beautiful dress that's flattering, easy to wear, and lets me eat since it's not too tight. It’d be easy to bring along on vacation too.

Sleeves not for me
Everything about this dress was perfect and beautiful except for the sleeves, which were comical looking on me, likely due to the stiff linen material. What a shame because the dress was NWT and beautiful!

Beautiful dress
I tried on 2R and the arm holes were a smidge too long and the dress was slightly too long (needed 3 inch heels). But the 2P was perfect. The fit of both was a hair tight but it was perfect for a formal wedding. Dress aside, I did have an issue with the 2P having frayed edges/ loose seems on the bottom, perhaps from being stepped on.

Very lovely dress but it was slightly clingy and has SEQUINS throughout, which was not noticeable in the pictures. Not sure where I would even wear this. Also I’m 5’3 and the dress length was around ankle height.

For the shorter ladies
This is a cute romper and has a nice thicker material so the white color isn’t see through. Note that I’m 5’3 with a short torso and this romper JUST for me in terms of height, which made it a bit difficult to get off.

Cute cropped jacket!
Really liked the fit of this jacket, which would be great with a dress or with high waisted jeans and a cropped tank. Note that the brand ‘Sandro’ is written on each button but it was cute.

Don’t understand this sweater
It was itchy from the synthetic glittery thread. It was also slightly see through. Not sure when and where I’d wear it. The sweater itself fit though.

Too small and had little stretch
The dress was small through the waist, with little stretch. The drop waist made it so it defined my belly. I could probably size up but the straps were a little long.

Nice dress but not for me
I have a pretty straight frame and I would probably need shape wear to give me a defined waist in this dress. The material is ribbed and had a lot of stress so the dress wasn’t clingy but just didn’t look great on my straight frame.

Great for spring/ fall or cold offices
Great fit and flare dress with a defined waist and simplistic pattern. It had a thicker material so the skirt doesn’t flare up when it’s windy or show underwear lines.

If you are between sizes, size up so there’s less gaping between the buttons.
