Horrible fitting dress
I got my usual size in this dress and what I received was the most ill fitting and unflattering dress I’ve ever put on. I am a size 10/L and the body of the dress was for someone 3-4 sizes larger minimum. It did come with a belt, but the length of it was very short and barely fit around the waist. It was also impossible to keep it tied because the fabric was so silky. In contrast, the arms were extremely tight and short. The length between the shoulder and cuff seemed to be made for half an arms length. I was the first to wear the dress and was so disappointed.

Crop top
This sweater is very short. Closer to a crop top with a really thick bottom band so I didn’t feel comfortable wearing. Color was beautiful though

So many compliments
Wore this to a work holiday party and got tons of compliments. The fabric is super comfortable and smooth. It does have more of a straight fit so I wore Spanx tights to give my stomach and hips a better shape. It did fall 3 inches above my knee so tights were also necessary to make it work appropriate.

Not for pear shape
This would have looked great on more of an hourglass body type but for me (8/10 bottom 6 top) it was way too big in the chest and tight in the waist and hip

Size up If have stomach pooch
The fabric was lovely and soft. Did not feel hot at all. I loved the length. The hip fit well but the waist area was a little too tight and with the wide band on top, it accentuated any fat I had in my lower stomach. Wearing it with Spanx helped.

Unflattering fit for long torso
I have a slightly long torso and the fit of this top was very unflattering. It was wide in the midsection, the waist detail was too high, and it hit above my hip so it gave me a very boxy appearance. Didn't end up wearing.

So flattering!
The dress is pretty lightweight so it was perfect for a work event in Miami in December. The fabric glided over lumps and bumps and was really flattering in the waist and hip area for my pear shape. Perfect knee length. I received lots of complements. Will rent again!

Love, love, love
Loved this blouse! The material is silky and soft and fit my slightly broad shoulders well without being too big in the bust. The length hit at my high hip and looked wonderful with a skirt and pants. I wore it three times: with a black suit, black jeans, and pencil skirt. The sleeve is cut into two sections- the top is more fitted then it becomes more blousy after the bicep. Great for work or the weekend. Would purchase!

Wasn't able to wear
This dress did not fit my pear shape well at all so I was unable to wear it. The skirt was too tight on my hips and the blouse was too large. This would be perfect for a more hourglass shape. It had very pretty beading so it was a little too dressy for work.

Cute and flattering
I got so many compliments while wearing this dress. The fit was very flattering for my pear shaped figure. I have a long waist so often the dress waist is a little too high, but this one was perfect. I did have to wear a camisole underneath to make the neckline work appropriate. It hit above my knees and looked great with tights. Loved the weight of material for cold weather. I wore it with a short black blazer.

Very unflattering on hips
If you are pear shaped, this is not the dress for you. The skirt has an unnecessary extra layer of fabric with 4 horizontal stripes that only goes over the widest area of the hips. It resulted in the fabric puckering around my hips instead of laying smooth and made them look wider. Wasn't able to wear.

Very flattering fit
Based on reviews, I ordered one size down and was happy with the fit. Due to the close fit, I did wear Spanx underneath and it made my side profile more flattering (smoothed stomach). Loved the color and it worked well with our without a blazer. The fabric thicker and is a bit of a scuba material so it does make a swishing noise when you move.

Super tight top with very wide skirt
I wasn't able to wear this dress. The top was too tight to button and too low. In contrast, the skirt was extremely full, resulting in a very unflattering look. If I had gone up in size so the top would fit, the skirt would have been way too wide. I loved the fabric and the pockets, so it was very disappointing. If you are and A or B cup this dress might work better for you.

Very flattering fit + pockets!
This dress was so slimming and flattering. I am pear shaped and have a longer waist and it fit perfectly at the waist while leaving plenty of room for my hips (without bulk) Neckline was not too low and the material was very high quality. I wore it to a work reception and received several complements. Worth purchasing!
