Lovely material, fit a bit challenging
Loved this dress, but the middle sat too high on me and accordingly, the straps were too long. If the middle was a little wider/looser, it still would have had a nice A-line flow and the straps would have easily sat on my shoulders.

Easy, upscale casual look
Wore this several more times than expected! Casual dress that can be worn with sneakers when traveling or sandals for an evening out. The cinches in the fabric help mask the wrinkles.

Silky fabric makes this more luxe than pics suggest
Loved this dress, but anticipated using this for more casual gatherings and found that the fabric made it more appropo for more semi/formal gatherings. Didn't have occasions planned for that use.

Fabric is heavy, making dress more formal
Second time I've had a rental not be useable for my intended purposes. This looked more casual in the pics than it was. The fabric is more luxe and so it didn't work for my plans to wear it casually. Fit is great, though a tiny bit longer than I'd like.

A bit long. I'm 5'6" and wore platform shoes with it and even then was a bit long.

Just okay
Wore this for an evening out, but would have been better for a summer garden party - although the fabric is a bit thick for that. Quirky dress. Note that the back is longer than the front. Picture doesn't show that.

Odd fit and fabric
Top fabric is very thick. It is a dress, but feels like a jacket sewn on to a skirt. As a result it was formless. Didn't wear it.

Great fit - the cinches plus the pattern cover up any body concerns. A bit long, so better for medium/tall builds.

Great color - just make sure you like bright. Sleeves are bit big, but unique accent. Fit is slimming and material is thick and sturdy.

Just okay
The fabric is nice. However, the decorative straps made the blouse fit more snugly than necessary since even at the most open, it still was tightening.

Not flattering on me
This wasn't flattering. The fabric made it look like I have more of a belly than I do. Was disappointed and didn't wear it.

Great pattern but sizing challenging
Cute top but as others have shared, narrows at waist and is long. If you have wider hips, hard to wear long and you need to tuck it in.

Slimming dress that can be dressed up or down
Wore this to an evening work function and also wore it to NYE gathering. Can dress up or down with jewelry. Has a nice shimmer. It is narrow on top and flares a bit at the hips.

Upgrade from black turtleneck
A bit tight in the arms, as others had shared. Because the top is so dark, you can't really see the pattern on the arms. It adds a bit of interest if you're looking for an update to a black turtleneck.

Pop of color
Cute, casual look. A little bigger in the arms and since the body is straight, a little tight around the hips for someone a bit curvy. Looked great with knee-high boots.

Great piece if you're tall
Nice sweater, but even though I sized down it still felt too roomy. I wore with leggings and boots, which helped elongate the look and make it less slouchy.
