Too oversized to wear
I heeded the reviews’ warnings with sizing but it was still much too oversized to pull off. Super cute though.

Too oversized to wear
I ordered a small (typically between M and L in coats) and it was comically oversized (and I’m not one to shy away from oversized) - this was very sadly unwearable for me. If you can find a size that works for you, it’s beautifully constructed.

Loved
Fits like a dream and love that the body is double lined so you don't have to wear anything underneath.

Could not feel any better in this dress
Insanely comfortable, love the neckline so much, love how it skims the body without being tight anywhere. Great for my hard-to-fit waist-to-hip ratio. Wore to a black tie optional wedding and got compliments galore. The fabric that folds over at the bust line doesn't lay flat in the back but that was an easy fix with fashion tape.

Not it
I knew this was a very dark purple, but the photos don’t really show the sheen. The combo just read cheap to me, sadly, so I didn’t wear it. The construction was great, though

Short and a little matronly on me
The slit helps make it less dowdy but overall it just was too much fabric and not the look I was going for. Plus, the length was off and hot at my ankles and I'm 5'9". I did appreciate that there was no need for a bra and it was definitely comfortable.

Stick to your regular size
Based on reviews, I sized up from a 10 to a 12 and should have gone with the 10 or maybe even an 8. It was gaping at the arm holes and overall just too large.

Will probably buy it
I love the mock neck, the heavy cotton, and the fit, which was just a bit oversized. So good and was NWT, which is always a nice surprise.

You need this in your life
I could only love this more if it weren't so $$$. So comfortable, and the proportions and print are amazing. I was surprised how little it wrinkled and it was great to travel with - I wore it in Palm Springs last month and got tons of compliments.

So comfortable
Oversized and slouchy in the best way. I'm a 30 in most brands and these definitely run a bit big. I kept these for 2 months and wore them at least once a week. I also tried the 29s but preferred the more oversized look with this cut. If I could change anything I'd add an inch to the inseam for my height. Would definitely rent again.

Love
Looks so cute as a set with the pants. I'm between a M and L in tops and went either the L and it skimmed perfectly - no gaping. M wouldn't have cut it. 37" chest and 30" waist for reference.

Love and wish they had larger sizes!
The 10 was very snug (41" hip, 30" waist) especially in the hip and I was going for a more relaxed fit. Unfortunately, that's the largest size offered. Otherwise, great quality and very comfortable fabric. Length is cute for sandals!

Amazing
I love everything about these and will probably buy them once my size becomes available. I tried the 12 because that's what was available but they're too big even for a loose casual fit. Length is great for the tall girls. Only note is that they're heavier than I anticipated and don't seem breathable, so keep that in mind for super hot climates. For reference, hips are ~41", waist 30".

Beautiful and nice construction - just a bit big
The sleeves fit well (and my arms aren't small) but I was going for a bit of a closer fit through the body. It gave a little more conservative than I was going for, even with denim. I'll try the medium next time For reference, my chest measurement is 37" and waist is 30".

Sleeves are a lot of look
It’s a beautiful sweater and high quality. I’m not one to shy away from a bold fit but the sleeves overwhelmed my frame so I didn’t wear it.

Comfortable and versatile
Wore this to a wedding weekend party and got lots of compliments. Definitely an elevated version of the cotton versions of this silhouette that have been everywhere the last couple of summers. The elastic on the arm was a bit tight but not visibly so. Easy to wear a strapless bra. Will absolutely rent again.

One Shoulder Midi Dress

Photos need to be more detailed
The photos of this dress are gorgeous but the real thing just isn’t it. It’s hard to tell from the photo that the dress skirt is tiered, which I think takes it down a notch. The back has an elastic panel that isn’t pictured, which seriously cheapens the dress. The other reviews about the short sleeves and odd extra fabric in the bust/shoulder area are on point. I ended up wearing a different dress that I ordered as a backup.

Dream dress
The fit was perfect - I’m usually a 12 top and 14/16 bottom, 5’9” (plus 3-in heels) and the 12 was perfect. Top was structured enough to forgo a bra (34dd). I’ve never gotten more compliments at a wedding. It was definitely the most unique dress there and I felt amazing. If I had $900 to drop on it, I would!
