cute, but not for short women
I liked the dress but it was too long for me to wear, even with heels (I'm 5').

runs small!
I'm 122 lbs and could barely zip the size medium. Looked like a stuffed sausage so I sent it back. It was cute though -- will try the large.

Cute but no give at all
Liked the cut and the fabric and it looked like a cute dress, but I couldn't even begin to button up the medium in the front. Size up if you're not sure.

Great comfortable dress for a formal wedding!
Rented this dress for a summer wedding, for which the dress code was "ethereal black tie" -- I spent a lot of time looking for dresses that fit that description, ha. I was worried this would not be formal enough, but it was perfect with some fancy jewelry and an updo. Fit well in every way, and what a pleasant surprise to find a maxi dress that isn't too long on a short person! Got lots of compliments. My only complaint is that it was a little itchy on the arms and bust. Would consider buying if it wasn't nearly $700.

Cool dress, but didn't fit in so many ways
I really liked the unique design of this dress, but couldn't wear it for several reasons: 1. Too long! I'm 5 ft tall and it would have been too long even in 4" heels, there is no way to pin it up since it is ruffled on the bottom and open in the back. 2. The bust area is not suited for anything bigger than a C cup, unless you are really going for a push-up look 3. If you don't have good posture, the lace-up back will really highlight that 4. I could zip it up, but it was tight enough to squish rolls out over the waistband. Not a good look. Maybe a good dress for a tall and slender person, but not for a short and slightly overweight one.

Didn't wear
I liked the look of this dress for a formal Christmastime wedding but didn't wear it -- I'm not a fan of shapewear, and if you have any blobbiness around the middle it will really show in this dress. Maybe if I get in shape I'll try it again!

Cute print, high-quality fabric, nice detailing and unique shape!
As others have described, this dress is cut TINY in the ribcage. I had to size up to an L and still could barely zip it up; the L was too big from the bust up, though, so I had to pin a bunch of extra fabric behind my neck. Otherwise, it is very cute and got lots of compliments. Wish the fit was more realistic -- I would buy it!

Cute, comfortable, warm and flattering!
This is a great dress for a cold-weather party or night out. Looks especially cute on an hourglass or pear shape; the fabric is form-fitting but thick and accentuated my figure while the flare of the skirt hid my lower stomach. Very comfortable to wear. As others have noted, the sparkles in the pleats on the dress are a bright pink, so this is not a work outfit -- but a great one for evening!

Didn't wear this dress -- didn't fit at all
This is a medium and I'm squarely a 6 - couldn't even begin to zip it up past the waist. Too bad because the fabric was really cute for summer.

Got lots of compliments!
Super cute romper that is perfect for pretty much anything! Great modest cut with longer shorts and the high neck. My only complaint is that the top button is really difficult, making it hard to go to the bathroom :)

Glam, cute and classy all in one!
This dress checks a lot of boxes for a semi-formal event -- easy to wear and attention-getting but not over-the-top! Fit was true to size in a 6. The sequin fabric was comfortable and not heavy, and let me sparkle while the modest cut and swirly pattern kept it from being too much for an event where I wasn't the star (guest at a wedding).
