GORGEOUS
Amazing color, quality, and fit! The color is a beautiful rusty red/orange and the material is VERY thick, so it hangs beautifully. The bell sleeves are very wide at the wrist, but I was expecting that. I'm planning to wear this to a work event out of town and am confident that it will travel well. Love this top!!

Love it but too short for conservative workplace
I tried everything to make this adorable dress work, but in the end, it was just too short to be appropriate for my age (48) and my workplace (law firm). As other reviewers have mentioned, the material is different than it looks online. It is a smooth printed material, not a tweed or sweater-type material. It's incredibly cute on and I would have kept it and worn it with tights if it had been just a tad longer.

Not what I was expecting
The color of the dress is beautiful--more raspberry than it looks online. Unfortunately, that was the only good thing about the dress in my opinion. I usually wear a 2 or a 0 and I could barely get the XS over my head and onto my body. And I either have an incredibly huge neck (though I've never had this problem before) or the dress was meant for a toddler. To be honest, the neck opening was SO small that I think the button might have fallen off and one point and someone sewed it back in the wrong place. The material was also not what I was expecting--it was very crepey and clingy-- so it didn't hang like it does on the model. Finally, I would recommend staying away from this dress if you have broad shoulders. I do and the cute ruffles are not so cute when emphasized by gargantuan shoulders. Just not a good look. So sad because it looks so cute on the model and on others who have worn it!

Great dress; just didn't work on my body
The dress is beautiful. The photograph on the model doesn't do justice to the material, which is beautiful and sparkly. I'm not sure I would have rented it for work had I realized just how sparkly it was. That being said, my main problem was that the dress just didn't fit well. I know that DVF wrap dresses are classic and that you really can't go wrong with them--unless, apparently, you have my body type. I'm pretty flat chested and have broad shoulders. The dress just didn't hang well and was too tight across the back and on my arms--not to mention that it was far too low cut for office wear. I suppose I could have worn a cami with it, but it wasn't worth the trouble since it didn't fit well anyway. Beautiful dress-- just not for me!

Perfect dress for a formal winter wedding!
This was my back up dress for a formal winter wedding. I loved it so much that I ended up wearing this dress to the wedding and the other dress to the reception--I simply couldn't choose between the two! I probably should have ordered the 0 and, if I had, I would have kept his dress on all night. It was just slightly too big around the bust and waist. I'm very flat-chested and long-waisted so there was a small amount of extra room up top. I wore a strapless stick-on bra to fill things out a bit more. The length was perfect with 4-inch heels. And the pockets! Such a fun extra. It was extremely comfortable it I didn't have to worry about fashion tape or anything falling out. All in all, I loved this dress and received many compliments--I wish I could have kept it forever!!

Felt like a million bucks!
Wore this to a black tie wedding reception. I'm pretty flat-chested, so used stick-on inserts to help fill out the bust. Lots of fashion tape needed to keep things in place. Otherwise, the perfect dress. Received compliments all night long and felt absolutely beautiful. Had it on for over 7 hours and could have worn it for 7 more--it's that comfortable! It's long--I wore 4-inch heels and dress just barely grazed the ground in front--there is a small train in back. It would have been perfect if I'd been one inch taller. Overall: Loved it and wish I could have kept it!!
