Pretty Pattern
The fabric is very comfortable and the colors/pattern are pretty. This is a very versatile top--pairs well with a pencil skirt or wide legged trousers for a work look or jeans for a more conservative night out look. If it wasn't so pricey I would add to my closet permanently.

WAY too short
Dress is so cute but the length... are you kidding me? You could literally see the bottom of my butt when I took a step. Needless to say I didn't wear.

Not for curves!
The fit of this dress could not be more off for an hourglass or pear shape. The waist was huge and baggy while the hip/butt/thigh area was SO tight I am shocked it didn't rip!!! I guess that's probably evidence that it is good quality. The fabric has 0 stretch. Color is nice

Got a lot of compliments
I got A LOT of compliments on this dress which is odd because I didn't know how I felt about it when it got here. I almost returned without wearing but TBH it was laundry day and I was running low on my own stock. The pattern was a little busier than it looks on screen and the zipper neck it just kind of bizarre. Well apparently no one else thought so because people were complimenting me on the dress all day. It was very comfortable and not sheer at all. One thing I have to say about this dress is the genius way they did the bell sleeve. Usually a bell sleeve will flop all around which can be annoying. There are hidden buttons behind the "bell" on the sleeves of this dress that make it tight to your wrist - no flopping. Brilliant.

Runs really large
I am never a size 0 - usually a 2 or a 4 depending on the cut of the dress. Apparently the 0 was the recommended size but it was really big on me. Like the waist seam could have been 2" smaller and it still would have been big. Size 2 sizes down. Fortunately it didn't look sloppy so I was still able to wear it, it just looked more like a trapeze style than is shown on the model. Also the neckline was lower on me than I would have liked for work and small framed girls with larger chests may have the same issue. Otherwise the pattern is beautiful and the dress is very high quality.

Flattering and Comfortable
The cut of this dress is very flattering and it is insanely comfortable. No zippers or snaps. The tie is functional but doesn't change the fit of the dress if that makes sense. Lightweight material - definitely not for winter. I wear everything from a 0 to a 4 depending on the size and cut of the piece and the XS was perfect for me.

Too tight on the bum
Ordered a 2 (usual size) but I am returning for a 4. I disagree with other reviewers who noted that this dress is roomy in the hips -- the 2 was too fitted around my bum giving me that pooch effect on my lower stomach that often happens when you get a shift dress that's too small. Not flattering. Also, because of the fit, the dress was too short on the sides to be work appropriate. The dress is otherwise beautiful and I can't wait for the right size to arrive!

Cute and comfy
I wore this to work with a pair of heels to offset the athletic details. Length was work appropriate on me (I'm 5'3"). Would have been equally as cute with white sneakers and a denim jacket to dress it down. For those of you with bigger arms, the seaming might be tight on you. I sized down based on other reviews and agree that it does run big. However, it was fitted on my arms, which are on the slender side.

Engagement Photos
This dress fit beautifully and was super flattering on my hourglass shape. It was a little short in the back but not to the point that I was uncomfortable. It is not see through -- I didn't wear a bra and you couldn't tell. I can see how this would not work on all body types because of the seaming.

Engagement Photos
Larger chested gals will want to size up. It does stretch but the bustier lines ended about halfway down my boobs. Not a big deal because of the print -- I still wore it for engagement photos. Otherwise it's true to size, very comfortable, and good quality. The print is gorgeous!
