Gorgeous fabric and colors.
Hard to figure out what to wear on top. Also runs very large, although I wear skirts loose, so I made it work. Would order at least one size down next time.

One of my favorite dresses ever.
I am large-busted, so it ended up being cinched above my waist, more of an Empire-waisted look, but it still was flattering.

Beautiful dress, got lots of compliments.
Low cut enough that I wore a camisole underneath.

Absolutely gorgeous dress; the ruffles really make it. Skims the body but not tight, excellent quality, medium-weight fabric. Very comfortable. Lots of people asked me where I got the dress and I felt great all day!

14 was several sizes too small, so couldn't wear. Beautiful dress, though!

Loved this dress. The fit is loose, but the above-the-knee hem and the detailed sleeves give it style. I wore it with leggings because of the weather, but would have been comfortable wearing it barelegged in warmer weather. I got tons of compliments. Nice pattern to the fabric, and it has pockets! I probably should have just bought this instead of returning it.

Beautiful skirt, lined fabric, very flattering, and hits just right at the knee. The only drawback is the slit, which goes high enough that you need to sit carefully. Was great for a work event at which I had to walk on stage.

Wish I could give this one 20 stars! I wore this to give a talk in front of 200 people and I could not have felt more confident and well-dressed! Beautifully cut silk in vibrant colors, nice button detailing, hung perfectly even though I am very busty (38F).

Very comfortable--I wore it all day at a conference where I was moving around a lot. Pattern is classy and the black side panels do help give it shape. Four stars only because I felt plain in it, even with a few different tries at accessorizing. Good, solid work dress, but not a stand-out in terms of style.

For work.
Nice quality fabric but very form-fitting. Might have worked with full-body spanx, but I didn't want to do that.
