This piece is rad
I wore this a few times. With boots and round sunnies for 70s call back, over a suit to the beach and over black slacks to a cooler BBQ in the park. Received compliments every time. Very thick sturdy fabric so it doesn't flow, but the cut is flattering stiff. Will rent again.

Easy outfit
Wasn't as short as expected by other reviews and the model picture (I'm tall) and fit great. Comfortable and quick to get out the door with some pizzaz and not all the closet matching mayhem. The purposeful miss match garnered several compliments (new trend incoming) before they realized it was a one piece.

Well made, big and rapey. Showed enough to feel sexy but hid what you want it to.

Bit of a camel toe if you're tall
I texted this twice so obviously loved a lot of it. Being 6'1" the crotch was a bit exploratory when seated but fine when standing. Wrinkles easily and has a lot of tiny bottoms so bathroom visits required some forethought. But was darling when worn. Paired with cowboy boots and a big sun hat for an outdoor music venue loved it.

Great for conservative event
This material was nice but really heavy and it gave this dress an overly conservative feel. Would pair well with a bonnet or be great for church. I was just hoping to wear it for a casual dinner.

Great sweater. I am really tall and the sleeves were a little too short on me and the rest was big.

Pockets pop out
The and are awesome, super fun. But there are these silly little pockets that are two small for anything and sewn in horizontally so nothing would stays in them. The pockets are asking the seem but flare open creating 'gaps' in the seem and throwing the lines of the jacket off. If i owned this i would sew them closed.

The v neck on this came so low finding a bra to work with it was a challenge. But the cut is flattering and the fabric is a nice thick cotton

Fun and comfy
This was a bit loose on me and probably would have been more flattering one size smaller. I ordered a 14 and am between a 12/14. The color is great for fall festivities and the tear off effect with a snap down skirt can make for a fun disrobing ;)

Prepare to wear an undershirt
The neckline on the dress is LOW, and I'm pretty dang tall. But it was flattering and fit great. If anything, it ran a little big but the cut was so flattering that it felt right. Perfect for my Thanksgiving dinner.

Shows every bump and ripple
This shirt felt nice but wasn't comfortable to wear because it didn't cover anything and when I sit, I get muffin top rolls. To be fair, I'm a curvy girl but in retrospect I should have known when I could see the models stomach definition. Also, the HUGE tag was between the layers and showed under the mesh a lot.

Too much design and not enough function
Lots of unique detail but the lines of it weren't particularly flattering. The dress fit but was very tight in the bust area. The fabric needed ironing and really showed sweat rings.

Low cut
Such a great dress! Loved the fabric and the cut. The only drawback was the very low V neck wasn't appropriate for work and when I clipped the neck clasp it unfolded the material and made a weird neckline.

Straight forward, comfortable & classy
This is a great skirt to dress up or down. Nice fabric and flow. I only gave 4 stars because it is a little overly 'hippy' in the cut and one side in particular juts out a bit more because of the zipper. I also didn't love the waistline, which has a heavy duty backer.

A dress that fits everyone
This is basically just a mu mu with some side ties to adjust waistline fit, so it can literally fit anyone well. The fabric is gorgeous and the color is a head turner. It is very light weight material so I suggest a slip if it's windy and you're shy.

I would suggest ordering this a few sizes too big to get the photographed look. Mine fit ok but overall was just kind of weird and busy.
