Very cute but sparkles get everywhere
Love this top, fun and great fit and got a lot of compliments. BUT the shimmery sparkles come off and they are a pain - I’m still finding them days later around the house and even on my skin after showering.

Breezy summer dress
I absolutely love this dress. Whether it's for you or not really depends on your body type and style, but I found the dress to be high quality, floaty, flattering and perfect for the summer. There is a slip inside, and being pear shape I usually have trouble if they're too tight, but I had no issues in the size L (which is what I would typically wear).

Gorgeous and comfortable!
I've found that ALC dresses tend to run small, and it did. I'm a pear shape so my waist is my smallest part and it was tight across my ribs (even sizing up - normally I'd rent a 10 in a dress this shape and I wore a 12). That said, it was so comfortable and lightweight and I didn't need a bra. Awesome dress.

Such an odd fit
The fabric is gorgeous and the cut was great - I wish I could have made it work. However, the fit was bizarre. I couldn't figure out where to put the horizontal strip - was it supposed to cover my chest or was it supposed to go underneath? If underneath... the top of the dress was way too big for any support or comfortable coverage. I'm not sure what kind of body type this dress could work on!

Runs small!
This dress is great - I'm disappointed it ran small! I'm a pear shape (small on top, bigger in the hips), normally size 10/12, ordered a size L, and the top was too small on me. I was surprised since the photo makes it look much more loose-fitting.

Didn't work on me!
This dress ran really small and wasn't great on a pear shape at all. I sized up and it still didn't fit! Would be good for narrow/athletic figures.

Interesting Dress
I rented this for vacation but ended up returning it before the trip. The dress is interesting, colors are beautiful, but the fabric is much more shiny than I expected. The other issue is the slip - it was oddly incredibly short and tight, which was odd given the style of the dress.

Runs really small!
The top was beautiful and I was so sad I wasn't able to wear it. Everything fit perfectly, except the fabric around the waist was SO tight I couldn't even zip the top up. I'm normally an 8-10 in tops and couldn't zip the 10.

I ended up wearing this with a casual t-shirt to work, but it could easily be dressed up. It's floaty and fun and has pockets and a short lining.

Gorgeous! But pear shapes be cautious
I was OBSESSED with this dress, but it was juuust a little too snug around my hips (pear shape problems). So sad because it's a fabulous dress.

This coat is great - high quality and elegant. The "puffer" in the description did throw me off a bit - this isn't a cold-weather coat. The wool portion is lightweight and probably better for 50-ish degrees.

This is a great jacket with a fun print. It's heavier than I thought it would be, but that's fine since it's been a cold few weeks in NYC.

Didn't work on me
Beautiful dress but it didn't work on me - it is kind of a drop waist so being a pear shape it cut in right at my widest point. Didn't wear it, but it could be great on someone else.

Obsessed with this dress! There's a nice ribbon detail around the waist and the fabric is gorgeous - a deep green background with maroon flowers. The fabric is thin but I didn't need a slip.

Bulky, yet runs small
I was so excited to get this sweater but didn't end up wearing it. The knitting/patern is intricate, but it makes for irregularity and bumps in the sweater. I also found it to be tight, short, and scratchy, unfortunately! The colors are great though.

A fun coat but not the highest quality
The pattern is fun and I wore it for a weekend in the fall. I ordered a medium because the large wasn't available. It fit great, but if I was going to button it or wear it over a sweater I would order a large. The quality of the fabric isn't the highest, but for a weekend it was fine.

Gorgeous!
I received SO many compliments on this dress. It's really beautiful. I sized down and was fine. As other reviewers mentioned, you can unbutton the top button to make the dress feel much more casual. I also didn't look very closely when ordering, because I got it and had no idea what to do with the two pieces hanging down in the middle. Turns out it was a tie at the waist! Great dress, great color and pattern, very lightweight fabric... I'd rent again.

Got this as an everyday fall bag - it's great. Awesome, bright color, plenty of room, zipper pocket inside and a magnet to keep the top from gaping open. It showed normal signs of wear, which is to be expected, but I really loved it.

Obsessed with this dress!
Let me just start by saying that the reviews are right - the top is TIGHT. I sized down (I'm usually 10 or 12 and I went with the 10), and I'm glad I did, but if I had a larger chest it wouldn't have fit at all. I wore this to a party and received complements all day. The length is great and the cut out isn't as prominent as it looks in the photo.

Love this dress!
I thought this was more of a shift dress but it's actually a drop waist. Based on the reviews I sized down and it was completely fine! The colors are vibrant and really nice against the black dress. The fabric is high quality and I was ridiculously comfortable!

Wore this to a rehearsal dinner and loved it. It's so different and I got a lot of complements. The fabric is so soft, despite being mesh. Minus only one star because it runs a little large. I wore the 12 but wish I had a 10!

The reviews were right, you're probably fine to size down. I normally am 10 or 12 and went with the 10. The fabric is beautiful and floaty and the lining is comfortable.

Love it!
Really cute dress, wore it to drinks with friends and to work. As a pear shape I sized up and was glad I did. While it looks like a billowing dress it's cut to flatter the body. The 10 would not have fit.

Surprisingly not a forgiving dress!
I'm a pear shape so the fit and flare silhouette generally works for me, but I couldn't wear this dress. A bra would be hard to wear for sure, and it was strangely tight at the midsection before flaring out. Having said that, the neoprene fabric is great for traveling - doesn't wrinkle much and doesn't show sweat. The color is beautiful and the cut outs are an interesting detail.

Beautiful dress, didn't work for me.
I got a 12L and 10R in this dress and neither one worked. The 10 fit in the top but both were tight in the hips - pear shape problems. That said, it's a gorgeous dress- high quality fabric, interesting cut and fabric. Wish I could have worn it!
