Lovely, practical dress with tailoring details.
Great shape and fit, thanks to the elastic ruched back. Nice dress maker details like covered buttons and matching loops. You can button or unbutton, or just pull over your head. Nicely fitted bodice.

Bust: 34D
Nice material, problematic strap
Attractive woven bag, smaller than I had estimated. Unlined was okay with attached leather pouch inside. Awkward strap and odd position of buckles. Like all Schouler bags, the strap was needlessly complex, hard to adjust.

3/4 sleeve cuffs fat too small.
Pretty print and material. I could not get the 3/4 sleeves on as the openings were tiny. I was afraid to force them.

Elegant and easy to wear
The elastic shirred bodice and bust make this button front faux shirt dress look fitted, but feel comfortable. The bodice can't be unbuttoned beyond a fixed point, but the skirt buttons are functional if you want a slit hem front. Color is lovely blue. Only problematic issue is that material is itchy where the dress is not lined (on the arms).

Easy dress, great for work or elevated daytime.
I liked the stress very much and would give it five stars, but the button up front became much tighter at the bust.

You may need a safety pin to keep the neckline closed enough for a bra underneath.

Great classical goddess vibe.

Great one step dressing.
Looks great with a tweed jacket and knee high luggage leather boots. The whimsy of the flannel sleeves as a waist tie and handkerchief hems gives the structured jacket and boots some flow and fun.

I took a chance on the large, the only size available, as it said it was an 8-10, but it was huge!
I'd actually size down if you plan to wear this with a belt. If you're looking for a kaftan, it would be fine. The underslip was way too short and didn't have any stretch at all, so essentially ended at mid thigh and useless. Nice pattern!

Great shape, but not very exciting
I wanted to love this dress. The shape was elegant and feminine. The ruched waist fit perfectly and felt great. Unfortunately, the mustard brown print was not a great look. I'd have loved it in a navy, dark green, or deep red print. This was just okay.

Very bulky, but nice color and length
I loved the idea of this long cardigan, but in reality, it was bulkier and much itchier than I wanted to deal with. The wool itched me through a satin shirt, so there's no way to avoid this.

Great deep green wrap dress with cutaway back at waist.
I personally did not like the open back, but at least it started at the waits, so did not show top of my tights of back of my bra.

What the…?
Not at all like photos. Back panel flaps in the breeze, while front/side panel droops in front. It felt complicated as well as unflattering. A shame as I love pinstripes.

Elegant, easy and classic
Great fall look. Micro pleats gave fashion look and muted palette gave classic feel. Loved it. Wore it with suede knee high boots and tweed jacket, then with tights, ankle boots, and biker jacket. Versatile. Wish it didn’t have elastic waist: sweaty.

Zipper tag showed and pants tapered awkwardly
Nice material, color, and ‘80’s feel. Zipper was awkward, showed under belted waist. Taper was too wide at hip, cutting down on the aesthetic of the slash front high ankle.
