soooo much fabric
On the right (very tall, very lean, very small or perky chested woman), I imagine would be great. For me, I look like I was the pole in the middle of a circus tent.

cute summer dress
was cute casual dress to wear to a casual dinner out. shorter bit that didn't bother me...what did was the slip inside that was seemingly longer than the dress as it kept showing. Not expensive looking but fine enough with right shoes/purse

too tight at top...size up if busty
Ordered this dress in a size 6, which normally would fit, but this was too tight in the chest area. Nice fabric and flattering dress in all other areas though so will try again in the next size up.

Big!!! size way down
this is a huge, wrap yourself in a puffer of a blanket, kind of coat. Mine came with tags on it, but sent it back as it was a medium and swallowed me up. Ordered it in an extra small and using it to bundle up for errands on cold winter days. I say go for it if you want big warm and comfy, but don’t hesitate to order a size or two smaller.

fit fine in spite of the reviews
some reviewed caution his stomach was too tight or the dress was too short. Felt like it fit just right and that it looked better in person than in the pictures. I did note on one person who wore black tights with it, the lining underneath seem to not cover much. I did notice when I sat down for dinner, the lining probably didn’t cover as much of my bottom/ legs as it should have. That said, sized up felt like the dress fit was nice for a fall evening dinner out. I have flatter stomach and no hips…Was originally going to a pair it with black but ended up putting brown suede pumps and a matching brown suede purse with it and it looked nice.

Layered with Love

comfortable and trendy…
sleeves are big puffs and back and a mostly open - three ties but lots of skin in back. between that and fact that it is Fall, I paired it with a cropped faux leather jacket that I rented from RTR and wore it to dinner. Felt cute and on trend. Top is very blousy, bottom is stretchy seer sucker like fabric that cleans to your body. Makes it forgiving and comfortable, but if you are self-conscious of a stomach, don’t like it up and back or looks like a football player with big puffy sleeves , this might not be for you… unless you tame it with a jacket like I did. Husband didn’t compliment, but that’s OK, I don’t need his approval! 😜

meh - didn’t make me feel good
Love the color and even the design of this sweater. Was even willing to forgive it for being gargantuan. That said, when I put it on and the neck was scratchy, I decided to throw it back in the bag and send it back without wearing it. I’m kind of noncommittal, so committing to a sweater that doesn’t make me feel or look good more than I was willing to deal with…

Looks great but…
As jacket is faux leather found myself getting a bit sweaty in it. Liked the fit, the ruched sleeves and the look, just had to think thru where wearing it because knew i’d be warm

One and done
Fabric was pretty. Print was nice for Fall. Fit was just ok. sizing up or down wouldn’t have helped…Top made my chest look weirdly big with skirt swallowing me up. if was trying it on in a store to buy it, I would not have made the purchase. As a rental, was something to wear but nothing that made me feel fabulous. Kept a shawl over me to hid the awk fit.

huge on me
these are supposed to be barrel leg/baggy jeans but they were huge everywhere - from waist to crotch to length… I felt like trading them in for a smaller size would result in just a too tight waist, but not solve the too big issues in other areas

Recommended size was huge on me
Didn’t wear. Way too long (pattern wasn’t on inside so cuffing didn’t look good) and big everywhere me. Normally wear a 27. Recommended size was 28. I could have sized down to a 26 likely but length may still have been too big.

ok casual dress
Decent easy pullover dress. Can wear with low cup bra, but will probably wear it as a swimsuit cover-up running to and from the pool on Vacay. As someone else mentioned, has silver threads/dots throughout. Is ok. Not one I will go to more than once. UPDATE: packed it for the poolside but ended up not wearing it.

too tight. too short.
Everything I have ordered has been a fit thus far until this cute little number showed up. couldn’t zip the side. Went with recommended sizing but this was a no go. Order up a size or two if you have a larger chest...

Surprisingly great
I’ve been admiring bright floral dresses on others all summer long but struggle to find ones I like on me. This is not a color or style I would normally go for but surpsingly I’m loving the fit, fabric and fun, flirty vibe this gives. wearing it to date night dinner with my husband and taking it on a girls trip to Vegas.

Swallowed me up!
Loved the casual, youthful look in some of the other reviews but couldn’t quite achieve that same look on 56 year old me! Swallowed up and felt like I was wearing a tent. Sleeves and high neck plus the loose fit just were not flattering.

Very flattering
what to wear for a wedding but ended up going with another dress. That said, this could have worked very nicely for the formal affair. Not entirely full length - higher in front than in back - which I am usually not a fan of, but in this case it worked. Fabric of dress was more like a jersey knit which was a little surprising, but helped to make it less over the top formal. Very nice, forgiving fit.

Nothing special. Fit fine but weren't amazing or any better than the jeans in my dresser. Returns without wearing so to free up a spot.

Somewhere between cool and clown like...
These pants were comfy, comfy. Partly because the fabric, partly because the loose fit. Were too long to be capri/cropped (could be because they hung loosely on my waist. I should have sized down) and too short to be regular pants but with large cuff at bottom I figured out a way to play in them. Thank you booties. Were a nice break in my mostly black pants wardrobe...

A little too cutesy
I love in black blazer so thought I'd try something different for everyday work wear. Blazer a longer cut than I'm used to but quality, canvas like fabric that held up nicely. Collar trim just a bit too cute for my taste but overall a quality piece.
