Flowy goddess but runs large and very long
Loved this dress but it was a bit large in the waist and very very long. I had to wear a belt to keep it from dragging (even with 4 in heels).

No stretch in fabric - size up
Originally ordered an 8, which did fit but felt snug and like I wouldn't be comfortable. Sized up to a 10 and was much happier. I have a full bust - may not need to size up if you are smaller chested.

Size down if you are deciding between sizes
Ordered an 8 to be safe (I'm a 6 or 8 depending on designer and had never worn this brand before) and it was very big in the waist. I have a large chest so those with a smaller chest would probably have a lot of excess room there, too. Think it may have worked if I sized down but looked frumpy in the large size and I returned without wearing.

Great, versatile skirt
Wore for a night out, to work and to a chill dinner. Just swap the shoes for different looks even with the same top or sweater on top. Good for curves - I have a small waist but I'm bigger in the hips and the skirt accommodated without bunching or riding up.

High school cheerleaders complimented me
The ties on the arms are kind annoying because my bows kept coming undone. But cute and fun; plus high school cheerleads complimented it hah. Not as warm or comfy as other jackets in this style because it has a windbreaker type liner on the inside.

Thick Material - not for summer
Fit as expected but the material was super thick and more cloth than I expected. Definitely not the summer vibes I was expecting. May work better in early fall.

Beware of sizing up - UK vs US sizes
I sized up and got a UK 12/ US 8 based on other reviews and it was big on me. I think the reviews about sizing up are based on the UK size, so keep that in mind. I definitely would have for better in the UK 10/ US 6.

Not flattering on me because of the arm sleeves
Didn't wear it. It was super big and poofy but then the arm holes were super tight and not flattering.

Effortless
Paired with white jeans one night and black jeans another. It was a bit big on the bottom so I tucked it in and it was great!

Rented for work and ended up wearing to a rehearsal dinner
Fit well, I probably could have even sized down. Super sophisticated but fun at the same time.

Cute purse but very small and hard to close
I ended up losing a credit card because my little pouch I usually use wouldn't fit and it kept popping open. Still super cute so if you're not someone who wants a lot of stuff in your purse, you will probably be fine.

So disappointed, wish I had believed the reviews.
After reading other reviews I still decided to order the shirt because the model photo looks so cute. It was like a giant balloon and not cute at all. Maybe a smaller size would help but it's also cropped.

Size up 2 sizes
Usually a 6, sometimes an 8. I ordered the 8 and not only couldn't zip it but it was very tight around my hips/butt and very short. I normally fit perfectly into rompers and don't have big hips/butt. Would have been super cute otherwise but I couldn't wear it.

Good for work or everyday
Does wrinkle easily. A bit shorter in front than I️ was expecting but plenty long in the back. I️ was worried it might show a lot of cleavage but it didn't (though I️ wore a camisole underneath at work just in case)

Great dress but lots of cleavage
Loved this dress! Seriously thinking about buying it. Simple black dress, very flattering cut. Showed more cleavage than I️ expected - especially once I️ was out and moving around. Very sexy.

Super cute but runs large
Definitely could have gone down a size. Ended up wearing it with leggings - it's longer in the back. Overall liked it a lot!

Loved this dress! Classic and fun
Loved this dress, it fit perfectly and was both classic and fun. Would rent it again. Was more flattering in person than in the photos. I am usually a 6 or 8 - the 8 fit perfectly.

Cute but not great
The dress was ok. I wore it but I was not in love with it. It fit but was not particularly flattering or unflattering.

Ok but big in rib cage
Rented this for a big work meeting but ended up wearing something else that day. Wore it to work one day and received a compliment but it was large in the rib cage area. I am usually a 6 or 8 and should have gone with the 6.

Loved it but tight in the bust
Loved this dress, will definitely rent it again. It was tight in the bust (I have big boobs though) so it was hard to zip. Would get a 10 if I rented again but I'm usually a 6 or 8.
