Perfect Dinner Out Shirt!
Wore with tights and a short black skirt and it just popped. Great way to get an elevated look without having to accessorize.

Easy Breezy
Got so many compliments on this. Felt very 1950s but brought into today - skirt was full but not poofy and it was so great to have pockets of course! Heads up I am tall and this went below my knee. Easy to wear as you simply slip it on and go and you automatically look put together. Love!

Perfect for a Spring Formal Affair
Be warned this dress is long. I am 5'11" and had to wear heels and even then had to pull the skirt up to walk. Also go with the size of the upper half of your body since the lower portion is so flowy. I have been in a 12 with some dresses and this one fit really well in a 10 (this is the translated sizing I'm referencing). I loved that I could wear a regular bra too. I wore this to an outdoor black tie wedding and fit right in that window of not looking too overdone but also fancy enough. Would definitely rent this dress again!

Holiday Party Chic
This dress looked and felt expensive. Was great for a classy holiday party. I'm tall with a long torso and the hips were built a little high for me from the waist but I think I felt it more than other people noticed it. Length was perfect for my height though.

Classic and Comfortable
I love a good sweater dress and this is no exception. I did get the XL which was a bruise to the ego but it's not the size that matters, right? Felt very comfortable on but I did wear smoothing undergarments just to keep the bumps and lumps from really showing through. Otherwise, this was a nice well hanging dress that I can accessorize in a ton of ways to make look different. I think the price point is way off for what it is, but I would purchase if it was more reasonable.

Classic Simple Dress
This dress is a dark green version of a perfect little black dress. I have a long torso, am tall and this fit my proportions so well, making my waist look tiny. I could see so many ways to change the look between hair, shoes & accessories. Sometimes the lining in the front rode up and pulled the outer part of the dress but that happened minimally throughout the day. That's probably the only negative.

Right on Trend
Im tall and between a 10/12 so looking at the sizing and reviews I went with an XL - a bit of a bruise to my ego but I'm glad I did. They slipped on well and were longer than I expected based on the main photo. Looked perfectly on trend with my black top and heels for work. I felt very cool and got complimented specifically for the pants the moment I stepped into the office. The fabric is a little thin for my liking but didn't highlight any flaws. This is the perfect item to rent as I probably wouldn't wear often and am not clever enough to find a variety of tops that would go with them. I also couldn't seem to make them work with flats, but looked great with heels.

Perfect Everyday Shirt
I would buy this shirt - the price is definitely right. Only thing holding me back is the care instructions. I don't have time for delicate handwashing then ironing on an everyday shirt, even if it is cheap. But on to the actual shirt itself - It was perfect for a nicer casual every day look with jeans and heels. I got many compliments. The pattern is beautiful. I agree with the other reviewers - don't follow the size chart they provide for this shirt; just go with your normal size. For example, I technically should have gone with an XL but chose the L and it was perfect.

Great for a tall lady like me!
I definitely followed the size chart and am glad I did. XL fit well on the waist - maybe a little big but the attached tie part allows you to cinch it in enough. This is a beautiful skirt that didn't make me feel wide, and the length was perfect for my tall height.

Hangs beautifully!
Wore this dress to an upscale brunch. I usually avoid a flutter sleeve since my shoulders are so broad but in this case, the way the sleeves hung, along with the rest of the dress, made me feel slim, and the cut really made my waist look small. I think this dress is really versatile - really considering purchasing this one.

Classic
Easy to wear, great for a tall torso - looks like it pulls in at the waist without actually doing so which makes it a step up from my normal straight button downs. Perfect shirt for a casual work space to pair with jeans and heels. Would have been 5 stars but I could not get the wrinkles out on my own.

Classy Lines, Casual Fabric
I didn't realize the fabric was sweatshirt like but I actually think it works for this shirt. Usually peplum is tough for tall women with long torsos like me but the fit was great and looked really cute with jeans and flats. The tie would come undone every now and then but it's an easy fix. Beautiful blush color - I felt very preppy with my pearls.

Showstopper!
I am normally a large in a dress being tall but the medium definitely fit best. There's no zipper so it was a little tough to get over my chest but once I got it, it hugged my waist tightly. I ended up wearing a sports bra because otherwise the fabric hugged around my boobs in a way I didn't just love. But once on, I felt fabulous - the color is great and it flows beautifully.

Great for a tall gal like me. Perfect for the summer heat. Only thing keeping it from getting 5 stars is the neckline is a little deep for everyday wear and I wish the shoulder fabric was a bit wider to hide bra straps better.

Tailored Looking and Chic
I felt so put together without having to add an ounce of jewelry. I sized up since I'm on the high end of my normal size and I think I made the right choice. Worked well with my tall height - the built in waist wasn't too high like with a lot of other dresses out there. Got so many compliments at work!

It's tight in the chest so I ended up going up a size but thankfully it didn't have an impact on the way the dress looks overall. The fabric is light and easy and I felt effortlessly beautiful wearing it from work to a summer dinner. Great tea length for us tall gals.

Perfect for Everyday or Summer BBQ
I have a larger chest so I went up one size from my usual which worked great. Length worked for my longer torso too. Overall a cute shirt that is perfect for Spring or Summer. Nothing standout...but a good cut and fabric that is a nice upgrade from something plain.

Body Beautiful and Perfect for Tall Ladies
I can see why some ladies say to size down but I'm at the top end of my regular size and this dress worked perfectly, especially since you can adjust the waist to whatever you need. I felt beautiful - the dress hugged my waist at the perfect spot and the length was great for my height. It was also great for weather that's warm. I would absolutely rent again!

Perfect Date or Party Top
Felt like a classic date night top from the movies - I wish I had the perfect jeans, wedges & purse to match. I may end up buying this top. It's constructed well, holds up throughout the evening and is the perfect clean base that can be accessorized in a lot of different ways. The red is beautiful.

Beautiful but takes effort
Wore this to work with a pencil skirt and heels and felt really put together. Loved it with the neck buttoned but the keyhole felt just a little low for work ...I could probably make this work for a night out but not sure I would love it as much not tucked in. Also, the arm ties kept coming undone and were a little large. All in all I really did love this shirt but its more high maintenance than I would go for (which is no maintenance at all).

Cute, Different, but not for Tall Ladies
I was able to make this sweater work by wearing it to work with a high waisted skirt. I really liked the idea of wearing with jeans but it was too short and bulky to make it work in that way for a tall gal like myself. It also sheds some. It's definitely unique and very cool....just a little off to make it great.

Look over function
I just felt hip and cool in it. Great color. As other reviewers mentioned it is built to be oversize so I went down from my normal Large (which I would have been swimming in) to a Medium and it was perfect. Not great for blocking cold weather any more than a thin cloak would but it gets you fine from house to car and back.

This top fit well and had great construction. Can be worn dressed down or up. It's really up to you how you want it to look based on how you style around it. It's not a wow piece but it's a high quality basic.

Almost Perfect
Thanks to other reviewers I went up one size and I'm glad I did. I probably could have gone with my regular size but it would have been a little tight in the hips. I wore this to a baby shower I was hosting at a country club and it was perfect. Only thing I would change is the waist - maybe move the black band down a little since I'm long torsoed. Also, be a little careful when sitting or bending over, if you're tall, as the black part is somewhat see through and can show a little more than you were planning!

Very Sleek
I would have given this 5 stars except for the built in curve of the hip was a bit higher than I would have liked (I have a long torso). Otherwise it was great at hiding any lumps and I felt very sexy yet fully covered.

A little tight
Like many other reviewers noted, getting your head through the neck was trying...it's small and not flexible. Definitely finalize your hair and makeup after putting this one. I found the dress to be slightly too tight so ended up not wearing it. The fabric is thick. I probably would have worn and enjoyed this dress if I were about 10-15lbs lighter.

This dress worked ok for my height but was definitely meant for a shorter woman. Based on other reviews I went with a Medium with definitely fit well across my body...I just would not have felt comfortable unless I wore tights. No bending over either!

This dress is not normally anything I gravitate towards. In a lot of dresses I'm a large but based on the fabric and reviews I went with a Medium. It's a heavy dress on - I wouldn't recommend for Summer. But it was beautiful for the warm Fall. I LOVED wearing it. Felt beautiful and comfortable all night. Can be dressed up or down.

Gorgeous but a little short
It's a beautiful dress but at 5'11" it was still just about a 1/2" too short the the Long size. With kitten heels you could still see most of my feet. Maybe I accidentally didn't get the long cause there was no tag indication but it's what I ordered. I ended up not wearing it and going with my backup but I could have gotten away with it, I'm sure beautifully, if needed.

Almost perfect but side cutouts too high.
This dress looked fantastic on and from the front but there was no hiding my bra from the cutouts on the side. I guess my boobs hang lower than most. I was so upset because this would have been perfect for my party.

Almost there but not quite.
This dress almost worked. Based on other reviews I went up a size and I'm glad I did. It was a little short in that I would only wear it to a party where I never had to sit or bend over. I have larger boobs and I feel like it made me look top heavy. It could probably be balanced with a good necklace. Ultimately this dress didn't work for me.

For having a long torso, this dress didn't cut in too high on my waist like most every other dress like this does. I wore it to work, on a date and just walking around on the weekend and it was perfect for all occasions...I just changed up the shoes and jewelry. It wasn't perfect but it was good enough - I would purchase but would never wear enough to justify the cost. Great for a rental instead of a purchase.
