Cute but not for short-waisted ladies
This was really well-made and looked like a blazer-type thing even though it's a shirt, so I wore it to work. The only issue was that I'm a little short-waisted, so there was extra material billowing out in the front (nothing to do with bust size, as the under layer fit perfectly...the issue was the layer that wraps around and fastens in front and is supposed to be billowy - but it hung down and almost folded over itself in a bit of an awkward way). If you have a long torso, this will probably fit perfectly and look gorgeous. It didn't look bad on me, per se. but it would definitely be flattering on someone a bit taller.

Super cute and fun for work!
Love this. It's roomy and long enough that it covers your butt, so you can wear tight pants and still be appropriate at work. Super pretty floral liner which shows on the cuffs and in the back. Really will probably buy this.

Most flattering thing ever!
Honestly, this is the most flattering, sophisticated, and comfortable thing I have ever worn. The fit and the way the fabric drapes is spot-on...and it's also super lightweight. I am strongly considering purchasing this because I think I'd get a ton of use out of it and truly, I wish I could wear it every day because it fit me so perfectly. The only thing I can complain about is that I wish the snaps in the front were stronger...the top one popped open twice when I was stretching at my desk. Luckily no one was walking by my office at the time!

Very cozy in my cold office
I love the pattern and feel of this. I did find the length a bit weird; I have a short torso and even still thought it should be an inch or two longer in front (it's longer in back) because it seemed to stop at a strange place on me. If you have a long torso, it will probably seem pretty short on you. That said, the length in the back was perfect and covered my butt fully, allowing me to wear my skinny jeans to work :) I wore it over a long-sleeved black tee with dark jeans and boots and it looked great for a casual day in the office. Plus, it kept me SUPER warm. I'm one of those people who is constantly cold in the office, and even though it doesn't have full sleeves, I was perfectly cozy all day. Glad I purchased...will be one of my go-to pieces for running errands on weekends or hanging out in coffee shops when we are able to do that again.

Perfect for feeling special at work!
Absolutely love this. Wore to work with jeans and flats on a casual day. I'm an executive so I have to look put together even on casual days, and this definitely did the trick. At first I wasn't sure about the sleeves because they are pretty billowy and I'm pretty short so a lot of times, things like that look weird on me - but it actually ended up looking super classy. The only thing I wished was different is that I wish the cuff on the sleeve started like 1cm lower. Sleeves have two buttons. I have pretty thin arms but button #2 hit right around my wrist bone so it was a bit of a struggle to button shut...I ended up buttoning just the top of the two cuff buttons and it looked and felt totally fine.

Caught my boyfriend eyeing me up and down more than normal ;)
This is an absolutely gorgeous and elegant dress. At first when it arrived (before I tried it on), I thought, "This looks like just a normal black dress...I would expect something more from a Derek Lam dress." I was soooo wrong. When I put it on, it turned me into a Jessica Rabbit perfect hourglass. The cut is phenomenal and shows just enough cleavage to be sexy not trashy (too much for work if you have any boobs to start with, but perfect for a dinner date as I used it). I love how the sleeves bell out slightly, and stop just above the wrist so you can wear nice bracelets and they'll still be visible. Also, the weight of the material is perfect and drapes gorgeously. Will be my new go-to LBD for cool weather months!! Considering purchasing.
