Beautiful fabric
Love the pattern but I am over the oversized fit of many rental tops. Everything just hangs on the body and has to bunched at the waist.

Pretty, snags easily
Had to be thoughtful about what to wear under it. Lot of openings around the bust so challenging to wear for work. Lots of openings make it easy to catch and snag.

I'm petite and the cut is too low. But unlike most Ulla Johnson dresses, at least the arm holes fit without showing my bra. Very loose fitting all over.

Notice the split
The split in the front makes it something you need a high- waisted bottom to cover or something you have to embrace.

Pretty
Pretty. I didn't mind the off-center belt. It loosened a bit throughout the day. It was too large and long on me and I should have sized down. I wore a shirt under it to keep the neckline decent.

It was too long on me so I had to wear a shirt under it to cover my bra but the waist tie made it wearable.

Compliments
Compliments from co-workers on video calls but my husband didn't have a positive first reaction. I think the color and pattern are great and I just needed to size down for a more flattering fit in the top.

Odd waistband
Take a close look at the waistband in the photos. Odd contrast. Doesn't look finished to me. Didn't look good with something tucked in and didn't look good with a longer top over it.

Size down
I recommend sizing down. It's meant to be adjustable. If you are short you'll probably find the arm openings long so smaller is better.

Unusual Hem
Love the color. Overall with Ulla Johnson I find the arm openings too long on my short frame and this was no exception. The shoulders are so voluminous they covered my work name tag that I wear on the upper front chest. The strange part is the unfinished hem. The sewing details on this are careful and beautiful and then there is this odd unfinished hem that doesn't need to be there. If you were to iron the bottom up you have a finished hem. Of course it is shown this way in the photos but if you shop on your phone like me it's hard to see a small usual detail like this.

Funky pattern and interesting neckline
On my petite frame. This overall looked too large and the neckline showed my bra. Probably could have taped it into place. Great if you are a more average height and like a bold pattern. To avoid stomach showing. I had to wear more high waist pants even though I am petite.

Sleeve fabric difficult to ignore but a novel look
The feeling of the sleeve fabric is difficult to ignore but it is what makes the sweater interesting so it's a tradeoff. The turtle neck was able to be rolled down so it was a third of the height instead of a half. This worked best on my petite frame. I needed a crossback bra to pull the bra straps in enough not to show. Overall great for work.

Beautiful knit and color
I loved the style of the knit, looked expensive, but the opening in the back was too large on my 5'0" frame. You could see my bra straps and I had to wear a cardigan over it which was not as flattering. Would recommend for a taller friend though!

Great knit
I loved the style of the knit, looked expensive, but the opening in the back was too large on my 5'0" frame. You could see my bra straps and I had to wear a jacket over it which was less comfortable since the sweater was thick. Would recommend for a taller friend though!

Almost chic
I rented a 6 based on the suggested size but this was far too large for a 27" waist with 35" hips. Also too long for a 5'0" person. I rented a size 2 next and that fit well. This didn't quite give the trousers as jeans look that I hoped for. A darker denim and some shaping in the bum area, rather than perfectly straight all round, would probably be more of that chic look. This reminded me of jeans I wore in 1998, though those had cargo pockets.

Works at 9 months pregnant
It was a bit formal in appearance for work but I wore it for a day and took advantage of the simplicity by adding a huge broach. I didn't feel chic as I hoped and this wasn't my favorite style during pregnancy but it fit. Would fit better on someone taller.

Embraced the oversized look at 9 months pregnant
You have to appreciate the shape for what it is and enjoy the beautiful fabric. I got several compliments even though my bra kept showing in the back. Wore 3" heels to make it work for my height. Felt very high fashion at 9 months pregnant.

Pretty for maternity wear
Overall really easy to fit into with the true wrap style. I had to select my bra thoughtfully because there is a low dip in the front but this can be worn with a regular bra. No pockets. Looks like there is some yellowing of the white pattern on the ties of the one I rented but it wasn't terrible. For my height I wore it with 4" heals; so be ready for that petite mamas!

Pregnancy on the Prairie
If you embrace the prairie vibe it's a fun wear during late pregnancy. I included a close up so you can get a look at the fabric. It's thick but the dress is so voluminous it's not uncomfortably warm if you stay in the a/c.

I didn't wear it but wanted to provide my measurements and advise sizing up to the 4 instead of a 2 if your bust is similar to my size. Plenty of room for the bump at 28 weeks pregnant.

Bump friendly and fabulous
Bust just fits me, with the hooks at the top left open, which is great for an XS. Feels great to rock something this stylish at 7 months pregnant and it's comfortable and it has pockets. Wouldn't wear to work because the v-neck is too low and sizing up so I could close the gap would make it lower. I had to adjust my bra into a halter position to keep straps from showing but it works if you have that bra style.

Bump friendly and fabulous
Love this dress for every day but so glad I rented it during pregnancy. Plenty of room at this size and I'm getting compliments right away. I used some fashion tape to keep the collar folded back and bust closed. It's not right in the bust but the buttons are far apart so it's something to consider doing before wearing it.

Didn't fit but would be beautiful in the right person
Not for someone with a substantial bust and short waist. I rented this hoping it was bump friendly but the elastic extends too low on me for that. And the biggest challenge was the bust. This will not cover a regular bra at my size and there is little room for other types of support to be added. When pregnant, there are no solutions so I couldn't wear it. But on someone with a more modest bust, not pregnant, it would be beautiful.

A glamorous New Year's Eve Gown
The fit worked for me even though I have a full bust. I did not find that it ran short like many of the reviews suggested. I'm petite and walking without tripping required a concerted effort, even while wearing 4 inch heals with platforms. The detail is gorgeous in person! It's everything I wanted in stand out, elegant gown.

These earrings are lightweight and a nice touch. They can be worn with many dresses but aren't a boring style. I wouldn't have minded something larger for the outfit that I wore. Just check people's pictures to get an idea of the size.
