Fit weirdly
I couldn't tell the front from the back and it looked very frumpy on me. The length was odd on my 5'5"/ 5'6" frame - kind of like an unflattering witch's dress? Never wore it out of the house, it didn't suit me.

Great look but weird fit
The dress looks incredible and I got a lot of compliments from complete strangers on it... But it fits so weirdly at the chest. The padding doesn't "hold" The Girls in place and even with double sided tape it didn't feel comfortable. If I could have taken out the padding and just used tape, I think it would have felt better. But the look itself is 11/10.

Fantastic coat
I have gotten compliments on this coat every time I’ve worn it. It’s extremely versatile - day, night, date, anything. Highly recommend trying a brown monochrome outfit with this!

Inseam is short
I’m only about 5’5” and these hit above my ankle. Not at a “on purpose” above my ankle, more like a “shrank in the wash” above my ankle. I didn’t bother with a photo, they went right back in the return bag. My inseam to the ankle bone is approximately 29.5” and these hit above that, for others reference!

Needs an underwire!
This is fantastic if you have Girls that sit upright and at attention without a bra. For all the rest of us, actual boning and underwire would make this piece a knockout. That being said - I loved the general look and bought it to take to my tailor to have them put in said boning and underwire. I’m also having them take off the weird pieces at the top that look like they are for straps, but none came with it. So there are just these odd little loops (2 on the front and 2 on the back) that you can’t tuck in easily and look… strange. So once all that’s done, this will be a fantastic piece for my collection!

Found it large in the bust
I’m not a small busted lady by any stretch so I sized up for this - mistake! I should have gone with my regular size. I found it oddly fitting with the cups - there is no underwire but it has an underwire look. I’d have preferred it with the underwire as this would have added some shape for The Girls. Unfortunately I couldn’t do anything more than try this on and immediately put it back in the bag. TL:DR - go with your regular size.

No stretch
I'm definitely going to rent this in a larger size, as The Girls were not willing to fit into the size 4 I rented. I think the 6 might work but I will also try the 8 - I'm concerned that the bust itself will fit but the ribcage might not. It's absolutely gorgeous though, and I plan to buy this and have it tailored.

Needs a good support system
I wore this for an evening just in the house instead of out to a wedding. I thought I'd be able to get away without a bra - nope. If I'd been going out, I would have needed a good strapless bra to hold The Girls up a bit so you could see the beautiful cutout detail in the front. Ultimately I chose a different dress for the event but I'd wear this again!

Gorgeous dress
This was a bit snug up top but that is a good thing in this situation. It gave quite a bit of va-va-voom cleavage for my body type. The off the shoulder sleeves would have made dancing a bit difficult, in my opinion, but this is great for an event that is more standing and talking than dancing.

Not my style
The fit was fine, but it wasn't quite my style. There wasn't quite enough support in the bust area and the plunge makes it difficult to wear any kind of undergarment. If I was determined I could have made this work but I didn't end up wearing it to the event I'd rented it for. I'd suggest a Misses Kisses bra and/ or some good fashion tape!

In LOVE
I wore this several times and loved every second. It's so comfortable and I feel like you can pair it with anything to get a variety of looks. From casual to formal - use a crop top and some wedges with denim to dress it down, or a fancy shirt and formal heels to an evening event. I am hoping to buy this if it goes on sale later!!!

The fit was fine, the feel and material were fine, this particular pattern and color just didn't suit my style.

So cute!!
I am a mama with proud stretchies. This top hit just above where a high-waisted pair of pants would go. I wore it with a normal bra and paired it with the Eliot kerchief white skirt twice and jeans once. Loved both looks! If you are larger chested, go up a size and thank me later. It fit juuuust barely and I'm a 30DD. I didn't mind the cleavage.

SUPER heavy
If you look closely in the photo for these earrings, you can tell they are pulling on the lobes a LOT. I missed this. They are gorgeous, but I was legit scared to move my head too much. God forbid one got caught in anything. I never wore them other than trying them on because they pulled so hard downwards and were uncomfortable.

Love the uniqueness of this!!
I read other reviews ahead of time and planned to spend time playing with it before I wanted to wear it. The infographic on their website is only a little bit helpful, and I found it more helpful to keep it on the hanger and try different things. In this way I was able to get the look I wanted. It is slightly snug in the waist and with a larger chest it wears differently than the model - and I still got SO many compliments! Plan ahead and you should be fine! (Pardon the mess, we just moved.)

Runs small
I love Jonathan Simkhai; however, I'm finding more and more that this designer is not meant for anyone who happens to own a pair of breasts that might protrude from their body at all. Size up if you own boobs. The rest will fit fine!

I generally liked this, but it was quite tight in the waist and I didn't end up wearing it other than trying it on. The pattern is very spring/summery and the fabric is lightweight. I'm always a bit nervous about white/ very light colored bottoms, it makes me nervous to sit anywhere or eat or drink anything for fear of spilling. That might just be me!

Beautiful texture to pair with a printed shirt.
I am in LOVE with this skirt and am planning to buy it when a sale comes along! I paired this with a Parker asymmetrical top that was mostly teal and had a floral print (available on RTR, and which I ended up purchasing) and SW Nudist nude sandals. I loved how I felt all day!

Standout everyday piece!
I paired this with a beautiful baby blue midi skirt, SW Nudist nude sandals, and wore it all day. Even my stepsons commented how nice it looked! Now that we are getting back into a bit more normalcy, I enjoy dressing well to run errands. It makes me feel more like Me and not A Mom!
