Runs large if you're not truly plus size
This dress would be a perfect dress for the summer. The fabric is comfortable and lightweight. My only issue is that the bust is too large. I'm a straight size 14/16, bust 40C, and the 14 was too large. If it comes in a 12, I'll try that and see how it goes.

So comfy!
Love this skirt so much! I'm seriously considering buying it and keeping it for myself. Yes, it runs a small and is definitely designed to be worn "high-waisted" but it's so bright and fun. The fabric is a heavy linen, but this helps the skirt keeps its shape while allowing for maximum airflow. I also love that is have pockets and belt loops. Winner!

Did not wear this jumpsuit.
As others have commented, this jumpsuit is cut for someone with a very long torso. There was literally an extra inch of fabric in the crotch that made what would have otherwise been a very cute and comfy outfit unwearable. I tried folding the peplum a little higher, but it didn't work. Such a shame.

This dress is designed for someone with smaller hips than me.
I was really hoping this dress would work. Sadly, it did not. Although the length and neckline/chest fit well it was far too tight in the midsection/hips area and looked like I was wearing sausage casing.

Couldn't wear this dress.
This dress is pretty and fun, but the straps were far too long for my torso. As such the cups were "floppy" and made the dress indecent and unflattering. It was a shame because it's an otherwise pretty dress.

Perfect for Spring/Summer parties
This fit a teensy bit tighter than I would probably care for, but honestly, I think that's me more than the dress. Overall the dress is beautiful and very appropriate for a bridal/baby shower. The skirt is on the poofy side, but the print is gorgeous.

I didn't end up wearing this dress, but it was very appropriate for a work function.
Fits beautifully. Not too clingy or poofy.

Due to the size of my hips, I'm typically between sizes 12 and 14. Thinking that this dress would be a good fit for me since it's flow-y and runs large I opted to order the 12L and 12R as my back-up. My mistake. This dress runs incredibly large. I should have ordered the 10L. Both of the 12s just hung on my body, but it was evident that the dress itself had potential. Unfortunately, I couldn't wear either dress. Also, I think another reviewer already mentioned this, but if you want the dress to skim the floor like the pictures, anyone taller than say 5'5" will want the long. Anyway, all in all, I'll most likely order it again, but this time go smaller.
