Pretty dress but...
Shape and fit of this dress was gorgeous, I'm 5'11 and the length was PERFECT. But the color realllllly washed me out. Would have bought it outright if it wasn't for the terrible color. It's worse in person lol.

It didn't look great on, the cuffs were kind of hideous IRL.

Great dress!
This dress fit like a glove, super comfortable. I also love the fact that the front had a little fastener so it wouldn't reveal too much. I wore a sticky bra with it because the back is sheer, that part is key. I would say the stress is true to size.

Glamorous dress!
This dress was exceptional! Felt like a million bucks in it, the bow detail on the back was a nice touch and I think hair up is also best for this look because of that detail. I bought a size up because my regular size wasn't available, and I'm glad I did. The top was a little bit big, but the bottom fit like a glove. I'm 5'11 in the dress, and the length hit me perfectly for my preference.

showstopping dress
This dress was exceptional! It fit perfectly! The wrap around the shoulders actually stayed on pretty well all night, I was nervous it was going to roll up or down, but it stayed in place. Highly recommend.

Great sweater!
Great sweater, I would say true to size/slightly runs bigger. Really soft too. I felt like it kind of stretched out after a few wears though. Sleeves are super long, so I ended up rolling them up. They have those thumb holes in them which I don't like, but they weren't noticeable.

Love this jacket! I rented the L/XL because my normal Medium wasn't available, it was definitely too big, but it wasn't too noticeable! Surprisingly warm for a 40° day, super trendy fun coat highly recommend.

Amazing set, pants ran SMALL
I'm normally a large in most any pant that I buy, but I figured I would take a risk with these because I wanted the pants to match the shirt. The extra large barely zipped! This ran so small, so just keep that in mind when ordering. The material itself was absolutely stunning, and really was a showstopper with the matching top! I'm about 6' in the heels I'm wearing in this pic and the length was fine.

Glam holiday set!
Felt absolutely glamourous in this! I'm normally a medium in like JCrew tops, and got an XL in this because I know this brand ran small. And I was right. This fit like a medium jcrew top, and the pants were even smaller (separate review). Also you'll need tape and a paper clip to keep this from showing too much....it's really revealing.

Would say it fit true to size, if not a little oversized. Wear an undershirt under this or you'll get hot. Not a tuckable shirt.

OBSESSED!!
Loved this, but it is SHORT. I wore tights underneath, otherwise I would have felt very uncomfortable. The chest area of the dress fit me well, but I think if you have a larger chest it could be too tight.

Perfect dress
Dress was perfect!! Felt incredible in this. Ran true to size, I’d say, but the arm holes were SMALL, I’d size up just for this. I’m 5’11 for reference, it’s not nearly as long as I thought. Didn’t ruin the appearance, but personally would have appreciated more length (again 5’11!!!!). Wear a strapless bra with this too, you can see any straps because the dress is sheer on top.

Fun dress!
Wore this to a New Years Eve Masquerade party, so much fun! Opted into this as opposed to a sequin look to ring in the new year and it was a great way to change it up. I think this runs on the larger side, you may want to size down. Very short dress, too. I’m 5’11 and if I didn’t have black pantyhose on, it wouldn’t have left much to the imagination.

Gorgeous dress!
Dress was a showstopper! It doesn’t run small, but given how the dress is made, if you’re in between sizes - size up for ultra comfort! Dress glides with you as you walk. Wore for Christmas eve dinner, overdressed? Yes of course. Worth it? Absolutely!

Runs WAYYYYYYYY SMALL.
The most stunning top with gorgeous and high quality fabric, but OMG. It’s TINY!! This is a large (normally I’m a medium top), and it fit like an XS. Umm?? Mislabeled maybe? Anyway, I guess size up one or two. Quality is top notch, minus sizing.

Christmas Party!
Perfect dress! Fit just right, especially because of the adjustable straps. I will say, the sleeves were a little itchy if you tie them too tight because of the material, but not a concern, just a note to consider if you have sensitive skin.

Loved it so much, I bought it! (At a great price too) fit just right. Lux material, but a LOT of it. It doesn’t photograph great TBH because of all the fabric, but with a few tries you get it right.

Someone said I was giving Grace Kelly vibes…
….and that was the nicest compliment I’ve received! I really felt like royalty with this sweater. I wish I took a full picture, not just a selfie. It is definitely itchy, but a tee shirt under solved that problem unnoticed. This sweater is an absolute showstopper and fits true to size. Warm, too! Might buy this one if the price drops. RENT THIS WHILE YOU CAN!!

Felt and looked like a Christmas tree
In theory it’s beautiful with the layers, but I felt like a Christmas tree. Fabric was REALLY thick and the dress made me feel a little clunky. I wore this as a tour guide for my neighborhood’s historic homes tour, but unless you’re doing that, would not recommend. (I wore a thermal underneath so disregard the black turtle neck, not part of the dress.) I’m sure it’s the perfect dress for someone out there, but felt a little matronly for what I was looking for.

STUNNING, but fit like a bell
This dress stole the show!!!!!! Wore this to a holiday date night downtown, and felt like a celeb. It’s SUPER short (I’m 5’11) so I wore opaque tights which was 100% the right move. It is also SOOO bulky, like I felt very oversized in this, but it’s not meant to be form fitting. It felt like a literal bell, but that’s why I loved it. I absolutely recommend this dress but just know what you’re getting into, it’s FULLLL. Fabric is also gorgeous.

Perfect party top
(Or for my millennial girlies, a “going out top” but make it 2023). Fabric was a little itchy but otherwise just fine. It looks SOOOO much better and fuller when steamed so make sure you do that when you get it. Fit pretty true to size, but I’d be careful if you have a fuller chest. There was NO stretch on this and it fit me perfectly with a smaller/medium chest. So many compliments.

Sheer romantic dress
Love this dress, but it ran HUGE. I’m normally an 8-10, but could have probably worn a 4-6. Because of that it felt a little frumpy, but it was just big. It’s entirely sheer, too, which I loved. I just wore a pair of black Skims briefs and a triangle black bralette. When you walked it flowed in the prettiest way. Wore it to a fancy dinner fate and felt like a star!

Wore it two ways!
Fit like a glove. I also loved it because, as I ate my way thru Portugal, it didn’t feel tight as the trip ended (lol). Wore it a few different ways. So comfortable and the fabric has a cool texture too.

Pretty dress!
It’s a pretty dress, but it runs big. The tag says large would probably fit more of a size 10-12. I’m trying to wear it but the top is just too big for me.

Couldn’t wear
The slit on this dress is HIGH. I am tall (5’11) but SHEESH, it felt so revealing, as in you could see my underwear and my hip bone. Maybe if I was shorter this would work, but there is no way I could wear this dress for a wedding. The dress itself fit me tho, true to size.

Reviews are right, right around hips.
I’m normally a medium, size 8-10 and this was right around the hips, but I could still wear it. Color is gorgeous but the dress itself is underwhelming

Such a great piece, but….
Such a great piece, but I bet this runs small. I have a small chest and got a large. It fit, with a bit of give towards the bottom, but if I had any larger chest, it would have been TIGHT. For a point of reference, I’m usually a medium in most other clothing tops. I’d say size up 1 size in this, esp I’d you have a larger chest.

Wasn’t sure but WOW!
Wow I love love love this dress!! I wasn’t sure if I’d like it because of the oversized look, but this was a stunning dress. I live in the city and two people pulled over just to tell me how much they loved this dress too! The material is soft and beautiful and fit is oversized but worked. If it wasn’t so expensive I’d buy this in a heartbeat!

Great fit, very flattering
Very flattering dress and it fit great. With the elastic band at the stomach, there’s a lot of flexibility on fit. The flowing tiered bottom was pretty too. I got a lot of compliments on this, but for some reason I felt a little too “prairie” in this. Maybe material? Definitely pattern.

Ok you def need a special bra for this, or none at all. I have a smaller chest and needed to wear a sticky for some volume. Fit like A GLOVE. Super revealing but looked soooo good! If it wasn’t so expensive I’d buy on the spot. Got so many compliments!

I love the way this dress fits and looks. I bought it after trying it on for the first time. Can totally dress it up, wear it to work, or everyday. I got a size 8, but probably could have done a 6. Oh, and it has pockets.
