Perfect summer dress
This is a fun, flirty, flattering summer dress, especially perfect for the 4th of July. It has a liner, so not too sheer and I liked the length (not too short.) I didn't wear a bra, but you might need a special one to work with sleeves/arms. Loved the dress. Everyone else loved and my Mom was finally happy, for once. "Appropriate dress."

Too tight in chest
Wore it to one of my favorite bars for happy hour. Cute with white pants. It was really tight in the waist and chest. I should have ordered a larger size. Not the shirts fault.

Cute style but a little too short for me
The dress is pretty cute as far as the styling. The fabric is kind of polyester like and the silk liner was slightly longer than the dress. I also felt like it was too short, especially when sitting down. I would wear it again, maybe for some sort of fancy family dinner I feel obligated to attend. I think my Mom would like it.

Too low cut for work but ok for a social event
To begin, I ordered a size two and I needed a size four. The dress is stretchy so I said, "what the heck!" And wore it to work. It was super low cut and I ended up wearing a pink sweater over it. Everyone thought it was cute, but agreed I should not have tried to fit a size four booty in a size two!

Wasn't what I expected, but it's just for work
I thought this jacket was going to be more like a blazer with heavier material. It's very, very light weight. It's cute. It didn't feel like the best quality, but it's just something you'd wear to work, so not really a big deal. Kind of versatile I guess... you can throw it with jeans or black pants. Works for work.

Perfect if you happen to be dating a "bad boy" who rides a motorcycle
I thought I would try to look cool and impress my boyfriend with this black leather jacket. He rides a motorcycle so I was just trying to hip and edgy. Unfortunately, the sleeves were a little short, but I thought overall it gave me the look (and response) I wanted. Definitely runs a little small, especially in the arms. My hair didn't get all tangled in the studs, but I didn't wear it that long either…

A little formal for work but cute
The dress is cute. It has see through lace on the back so your bra shows. I was wearing a black bra that day so I had to go without one and then I had to add a jacket, because I was looking a little floppy. I threw on a jeans jacket and it looked pretty good altogether.

Definitely cute!
Great dress for the office. Nice length and style. Very fitted around the chest and my size 4 was a little snug. Very cute, fun and flattering.

Received a ton of compliments but thought it made me look a little much from behind.
I wore this to Passover dinner and of course people like my Mom, liked it because it was somewhat conservative. I guess it's cute. It poofs around the skirt area, and I think it makes me look a little too poofy on the backside. The top was definitely too low-cut and I had to run around my office looking for a black safety pin. Fortunately I found one. My Mom says I should definitely keep the dress, so I'll probably send it back. I would recommend the dress, it just depends if it's your style or not.

Classic, conservative dress perfect for work.
It's very flattering and comfortable. I like the waist and your life is nice, too.
