Fun and fitted
This top is fun to wear and form fitting. If you want to hide something, this is not the top to wear. The lace bells on the sleeves are very pretty but might be challenging when eating. But I wore it for a casual work cocktail party (with black pants and flats) so the drinks and nibbles did not present an issue. Seated at a table, you may need to be aware of where the sleeves are all the time.

Very pretty dress and the sleeves make it unique.
Wore this for a work dinner/event where I wanted to look distinctly different from my usual suit with silk tank. It worked fine and I received a number of “gorgeous” compliments from co-workers. The front is low for work so I added a very thin strip of scarf underneath the neckline - allowing the v-neck to remain but covering cleavage. Other than adding the extra coverage in front, it’s a put it on and forget it dress. Easy, not fussy, and a pleasure to wear.

Great color and size but not cross-body
This bag is a great taupe color, terrific size - easy for phone, a bit of make up, etc. - and it is sturdy (a bit stiff, actually). The only downside is that it is truly a shoulder bag, not workable for cross-body wear.

Oddly constructed, but very cute
The fit is true to size but the crotch hangs down at least 3-4 inches, which creates a very odd look. I have a very long torso, too. Just couldn't see myself happy with the look. They fit me a bit longer, right at the ankle.

Big, long sleeves
Nice jacket and the fit is true to size, but beware the sleeves. The flare part of the sleeve is quite large and long - reached to my fingers - so not practical for work or other activities without constantly adjusting it out of the way. Otherwise great looking!

Perfect for travel
I use this bag for every day as needed, but found it most helpful during recent trips. It is spacious enough to hold wallet, passport, lipstick & compact, iPad Mini, and the toiletries baggie. My HP will fit also, but didn't need to use it for that. Really a great looking bag without a lot of metal or other affectation. The outside pocket is deep and perfect for a phone.

Large and rather stiff
I wore a 10 in a Badgley evening gown with perfect fit and thought the same size would work for this jacket, but it was a no-goer, very large in the shoulders and overall. The body of the jacket is quite voluminous with fairly stiff fabric so it bells out (big!) - doesn't hang straight as it does in the model picture. Sad, because I really like the design as it is pictured. Didn't wear and sent it back right away.

Disappointingly small
Sadly, I could not wear the 10 as it was tight through the back and a bit small around the waist. But it is a very cute dress, albeit a bit cheerleader-ish on the bottom. Still, with tights, would have been fun. Another "send back", unfortunately.

Elegance and comfort
A gorgeous and very comfortable dress! The dress is very fitted but seems to warm up to your body, becoming more comfortable as the evening goes on. It is elegant and the slit is not an issue when sitting at all. I wore 3.5 inch heels and the length was perfect.
