Spring Perfection
Great jacket to add to a T-shirt + Jeans combo. Casual dressy. Don't expect warmth; purely aesthetics.

Love!! Professional & Fashionable
Wore with black jeans & a white button up - liked the contrast. Loved this outfit!! High quality material & super cute on...def extra great on a tall person as it's a long profile vest. Highly recommend! Considered buying but need more of a price drop.

Too baggy - didn't end up wearing
Sized down and it was still too big. Needed to be a straight cut but instead it's wider in the middle which is not flattering - and I'm tall - so usually I prefer this long look.

Meh - not the most flattering
Slightly boxy fit. FYI, ruffles are navy in the light (not black). Cotton material so not too hot which is good.

Cute for everyday
True to size. Slightly short arms. Great length. Fit well. Loved the graphic print.

Obsessed!!! So well designed
Fantastic thickness - wore on a freezing nyc day with no issue. The camel pattern is wonderful & artsy. Fit was baggy on the top & arms but clear that it's the design so not super unflattering. Considering keeping.

Love! Wish it were longer!
I KNOW what this sweatshirt is going for with it's shortie length but it's just a bit bulky & boxy. I love the design!! Wore with a high-waisted skirt & white button up underneath to compensate for the length + casual nature. Did kind of love the outfit!

Size down...
Didn't wear. I'm usually a Medium but this was too big & boxy to be cute. Should've gone with a Small. Quality of the sweater seemed good though & not itchy!

SO Pretty & Comfortable!
LOVED! This dress was perfect for a more formal wedding. High quality material is more luxe in person. I'm 5'9" and thought the dress length was perfect is not a little short. Fits exactly as a 6 in the shoulders.

Good idea but slightly frumpy
Very casual skirt as it's mainly cotton. Not flattering on me so didn't wear - may be better on someone with a narrow frame.

Bulky & Oddly Boxy
I usually love oversized things with my height but this was way too boxy & stiff. It stuck out from my sides rather than draping nicely like the image. Didn't wear. Don't recommend.

Just okay
Fits to size but the pockets awkwardly don't sit flat. Very poor quality material - this is not an expensive dress. The overall cut was fine and def for everyday. It'd be difficult to dress this one up.

Comfortable, Statement Jacket
Loved!! Very true to size and sleeves were even the right length (often short)! Super cute on & easy to dress up/down with your outfit.

Great Dress - Very Stiff Fabric
I liked how fitted it was but definitely tight in the chest...and I don't have a big one. The fabric is like a jean material so pretty stiff. High side slit (FYI) that's probably pushing it for work but great for the weekend.
Dexter Shift Dress

Size Worn: 40
Usual Size: 8

Pretty Cute - a bit short / more fitted
Wore this with a flared, high waisted skirt which worked perfectly! On its own, the top would've been less cute with just jeans OR I maybe should've gone a size up as I have a long waist.

Cute AND Comfortable
A great work dress! Loose and comfortable - but short enough that it's still flattering. I'm also someone that likes this more retro (boxy) fit.

Back-Up - Didn't Wear / Fit
I'm usually a size 6 and this was simply too small (40R). The dress also has an awkward short-long thing going on with the bottom half - not like a slit...more cheap like a mini dress front. Despite not fitting, it also would not have been appropriate for a black tie event as it seems slightly trashy in-person.

Comfortable Luxury(!!!)
LOVED this dress. I'm usually a 6 and the 40R would have been a tight fit so I'm very glad that I got the 42R which I ended up wearing. It was gorgeous! So easy to go from sitting to dancing all night - which sounds basic but is NOT a common find. Only warning is that it was approx. 3" too short - I'm 5'9" tall - so I would've appreciated the 42L option now that I've rented.

Last minute, black tie wedding dress and it was perfection
PROS: Very flattering gown & very comfortable CONS: Runs short. I'm 5'9" and never need 'long' in anything but should have gotten this dress in the Long. My underarms did get pretty scratched up from the sequins by night's end but honestly didn't notice until the day after.

Love the idea of this dress - just not the execution.
Wanted it to be sexy, 60s kind of style. Top fit fine but the bottom was awkwardly tight. I'm usually a 4/6 in clothes & pants so I ordered the S/M. Wore the Medium but it was tight in the hips (I'm not especially curvy though?). Definitely love the sparkle just not the fit. Wouldn't recommend without a backup (sorry)!
