Very short. Odd empire waist.
The top is somewhat pleated and the waist starts right under the bust. This was not flattering on me at all.

Wanted to love it
Beautiful pattern, but the dress itself fit like a large sack and the fabric was so overwhelming. Also ran large.

I ordered the wrong size
I'm sure this would've been beautiful if I'd gotten it in the right size - should have gotten one or two sizes smaller.

Wore this a couple of times and loved it and got compliments. I plan to order again and will size down to XS next time.

Cute and flattering, but see-through and long
Really loved these pants and would purchase in a different color/pattern that wasn't see through. I wore this to work and out with friends and the pants were a hit every time. They are very long. The waist band is elastic in the bag which makes them super comfortable. I sometimes need to size down to a 2 but a 4 was perfect for these.

Effortlessly cool top
This is so easy to throw on to look put together, and it goes with a ton of bottoms. I probably could’ve gone with the XS instead

Beautiful skirt
Got tons of compliments. The material feels really nice and the skirt has pockets! My measurements are: 27 waist and 37 hips, and I wore a size 2. This size felt fine when I first tried it on, but the waist felt pretty tight when I was sitting. I’d I order again I’ll get a 4.

Not flattering on me
Nothing about this dress worked for me. Didn’t love the pattern, and the cut and length gave old western dress vibes. I can’t imagine where I would ever wear something like this. My measurements are: 34 bust, 27 waist, and 37 hips, and I wore a size 4 and it fit well.

I wish it had worked
I was excited to wear this dress, but I have a long torso and it unfortunately hit me in a weird spot and made me look wide and short-waisted. Maybe a smaller/tighter size would have been better.

Cute prairie vibes
Hill House dresses are so comfortable, and this is no exception! I wish that I had somewhere to wear this, but unfortunately the prairie vibes along with the very low-cut chest meant it wasn't appropriate for any of the events that I had. I usually wear an XS in the Ellie nap dress, but a Small fit well for this style.

Cute, but not spectacular
I'm usually a small or 2/4, but went with a medium in this dress due to reviews. I think medium fit fine. The top in my opinion has quite a bit of stretch, but not as much as a similar Hill House dress. The zipper in the top got to be somewhat painful after a few hours of wear.

Cute dress, more red than orange
Overall it's a fine dress, but not something I would purchase or wear again. The top hits in a way that creates underarm bulge. Also I needed something orange and this looks orange online, but in person to me leans more red.

Too much fabric overall, not enough in the chest area
The dress fit fine, but had way too much fabric which made me look frumpy. I would have still worn it to work, but the chest area was too revealing for that.

Interesting and fun jumpsuit
I liked this so much I ended up buying it. I have a long torso and at times I wish that the torso part of the jumpsuit was a bit longer, but overall it's just such a fun piece. My measurements: bust 34.5in, waist 27.5in, hip 37in. Size 4R fit well.

Not flattering for long torso
I agree with other reviews that the arm holes are a bit small. I also wish the cinching was a bit lower under the bust - because it was so high, it ended up being an odd look on me and I did not wear the dress. If I could order again, I'd size up one size. I wish I could have worn it, as it's a nice color and nice material.

Great dress!
I wore this for family pictures. The size 2 that I got was fairly tight for me on top - I could not wear a bra with it, and if I had bad posture it showed some armpit flab due to where the straps are positioned, but it was perfect for the short time that I wore it. I ended up purchasing the dress in a 4!

Cute pattern; bunched at hips
I was excited to wear this dress, but I may have gotten the wrong size or might just be the wrong body type for this dress. I have a long torso with wider hips and a narrow waist, and the dress bunched a ton at the waist on me. It was very unflattering.

I wanted to love it
The fit was a little bit awkward up top for me. I was worried the bottom would be a little tight, but I felt like the details made the bottom slimming.

Pretty dress, fit great
Rented for a wedding shower but ended up wearing it to a nice dinner. I got a compliment on it from my husband, who I would not expect to be into something midi length with full sleeves, so I think this one is a winner! It fit really well all around.
