Pass on this. Awkward lay.
I think the biggest problem with this bag is that the magnetic closure is not strong at all. Without the magnets keeping it closed/keeping its shape, it's really hard to make it look good as a crossbody. Instead, if I carried it from the top handles, I quickly got annoyed that it wasn't big enough to fit my wrist through to wear it on my arm. The only option is to keep it in your hand.

Surprised by the length (or lack of)
I'm only 5'5 and have very short legs so I have never in my life tried on a dress or pair of pants that were too short--so this was a first! It met the floor when I had no shoes on, so it was a very awkward length with heels. Other than that, it's a pretty dress! Just didn't work for my body type.

Better as a dress
This jacket is super thin. In fact, it is not lined at all. You could wear it as a lighter outer layer, but if it's unbuttoned, I was worried about it looking sloppy if in the unfinished interior was showing. I did really like it as a dress and felt very Kate Middleton!

Navy, not Black. May not be stadium compliant.
When I viewed this online I assumed it was black. There were no notes in the Stylist Notes or Product Details (or maybe "Marine" is the name of the color and I missed it?). I looked black at home until I was out in the sunlight. Either way, it was a super cute back. I rented this for a basketball game at an arena that has a "clear bag policy". When I went through security, I had to talk to about 4 different people to see if this was compliant. I think the thick borders and the eye details is what threw them off. I was able to get through, but it's not a risk I will take again! However, I would rent this or the light blue option again just for everyday where.

Super flattering, awesome pockets
I wore this to a black-tie optional gala. It was a fun length to change it up from the floor-length options. The pockets are roomy and the volume of the skirt masks any bulk you might have from carrying your phone.

Dolman sleeves
This was a nice dress to have in my rotation. I was surprised by the sleeves, which were Dolman style. You can't see that from the model photos. It's a true wrap dress with ties on the inside on one side, and on the outside on the opposite side.

Too large, awkward length.
Runs very large, especially in the bust.
