Very Dramatic!
This is beautiful and elegant. Unfortunately the bottom was a little too sheer for my finance job and a little too floor length for a girls night out or something more casual. There is a good event for this but unfortunately I don't have one on the books yet!

Wanted to Love but not good on me
I am 5"1 and a 4, sometime a 2. I wear a small in Hill House and own quite a few pieces-- that said I didn't love this particular style! The layers weren't flattering on my butt, it made me look kind of wide and chunky. The tie sleeves were so hard to key in tact. The bust made me look pregnant lol not for me! Maybe someone with less curve would have greater success!

Heavy But Gorgeous!!
This fit snug but in a good way. Loved the stitching details which were flattering. The dress is heavy otherwise I would keep it longer. Great for transition weather periods in spring and fall.

Utility Chic
It is cute and simple in design with a utility twist given the draw string waist and structured sleeves! Dress up or down! Wore with adidas sneakers running errands, added little kitten heels for cocktails and dinner.

Full Dress but Super Cool
I'm 5"1 so this was to my ankles in a 4. The whole dress so cool, the stitching, the style-- it's a button shirt that essentially extends into a dress. I got tons of compliments and found it to be very light. Sleeves were long for me but I rolled them up!

If you’re short - get petite
The dress is gorgeous but I couldn’t wear it due to the length of the bodice. If I got the petite then I don’t think there would have been an issue. The actual dress length at “regular” was honestly fine at 5”1 in 1.5” kitten heels. Did not end up wearing it but will get petite for an upcoming gala!

Fabulous! Runs Small size up 1!
Ignore the size it says I had - I ordered the 10 being that I’m a 4-6 based on reviews saying to go up 2 sizes. The 10 was way too big. I sized to the 8 and it was perfect. I got so many compliments when I wore it for a wedding welcome party! Loved that I didn’t have to wear a bra with it too!

Gorgeous, Sexy, comfy!
Rixo is built for my body shape so I’m never disappointed. This dress is gorgeous and sexy. For work I put a pull over sweater on top then take that off for date night after. I’m short so it goes to my ankles but no complaints. Lightweight, fits well, gorgeous curve!

Way bigger than expected - great quality!
I’m perfect clutch when you have a bit to carry. Loved it for a wedding weekend where I had multiple events to wear it for. At the wedding it was so great as it held my wrap and flats for later in the evening effortlessly!

Versatile Lightweight Dress!
Loved it. As a short girl, it was full length on me but it was so breathable and lightweight. I wore it with a jean jacket to brunch, sandals and my swimsuit to the spa, and with heels for dinner. So much you can do with it!

Perfect for a Warm Wedding or Event!
It was long on me and often slid which could have caused side boob exposure but I think I could have sized down to an XS. The material is light and stretchy but substantial. Great quality and I got endless compliments on it for a wedding in Latin America. The other reviews are right about the top hook but you can easily bend it a little to fit!

Weird fit! Devastated I didn't love it!
It was weirdly tight in the shoulders and made me look boxy. I have a very petite frame and pretty small shoulders so I was surprised. The sleeves were too long and the the length of the bodice was too far down.

I find this common with most hill house dresses but the bust is always tight on me. Regardless it was so cute I bought it!

Waist runs large
Everything about it was so cute and perfect for NYE but the waist was really wide on me so I ended up belting it and hiding it under my shirt.

Sexy cute, lightweight!
This was so fun for a bachelorette! I am 5"1 so the skirt had to be hiked up to under my bust for it to be a decent length but it was so lovely with the matching top!

Thick, a bit bulky on a small frame
It's nice but it just didn't work for me. The sleeves were short on my already short arms, the puffiness was just too much on my smaller frame. That said it is good quality and is probably better on a taller frame.

Reviews were right - straps are LONG
The straps aren’t adjustable and are long. I used fashion tape to keep them in place. I really love the dress otherwise. If it goes on sale then I would buy it and tailor it myself, really versatile!

Thick, a lot of fabric, and snug!
All of the above and not right for me! Probably better on someone taller. I have bigger breasts too and the chest was halfway down my abdomen. Not a good fit on me. Also heavy and thick so better for a winter formal event!

So elegant, fun, and striking! I got zillions of compliments. I actually wore the scarf like a shawl and it added so much fun drama to the whole look. My partner loved it so much we will probably buy it :) So special for my 30th birthday!

Middle Doesn’t Fit Petites
The ruching in the middle does not accentuate well on a petite figure. If I let the dress sit normal then it was over my thigh when it’s supposed to be at your waistband. If I pulled the dress up then it was too much fabric around my stomach which made it look bulging in literally all lighting! Super lightweight fabric, cool design, not good on short girls!

Hard When You’re Petite
The shoulders were too wide for me so the top didn’t sit right. The pattern is also A LOT when you have a short curvy figure. It didn’t flatter my figure well and I was lost in the dress. The bottom is a nice cut, I love the flair! Sadly, not good for petites!

Pattern Doesn’t Line Up and Runs Small
I sized up in this and it was still super tight! I wanted to love it. I thought about just wearing it anyways but i hated how the pattern on the bodice didn’t line up either. Disappointed

It’s A Lot on A Small Frame!
I want to love it but on my petite frame it is a lot of blazer. My upper arms are a little bulky and I have a larger chest (32 DD) so it just feels a little too much on my short frame! A shame because it’s gorgeous and great quality!!

Size Up if you have a chest
I have 32 DD and the buttons were not happening at the chest! I got this for the office and casual weekend stuff. It’s gorgeous and so cute but I have to size up AGAIN to get it to fit my chest! Not a problem since it is so cute and once it fits, I’ll wear it a ton!
