Wore this to a baby shower and it was so comfortable. The sleeves were snug, but I'd still rate it as true to size.

Cute, if you are tall
This dress hit me as an odd length. I'm 5'4" and felt like a child trying on mom's dress. It also has a metallic thread in it that makes it sparkle so much more than the photos seem. Overall, was not happy with the look and did not feel appropriate to wear to work.

Cute, but plain
This dress was great to wear in the office, but was a bit plain. I mean that's exactly what it looks like in the picture, so I'm to blame for that. Fit was snug, no major complaints.

So cute, figure flattering
Loved this top. Wore it 3 times before returning. WAs great for the office, though I did wear a cami as the neckline dipped a bit low for my conservative (eye roll) office.

Adorable, but material is not soft
I loved this top and wore it 3 or 4 times before returning. It was adorable and had a great fit. The arms were the perfect length. The top was fitted enough to show off your figure without being so tight that you see every lump and bump. Only complaint is that the material is not every soft. I wore a cami under to help with that.

I didn't expect it to be so short.
The top was more of a crop top than I envisioned. It stopped just below my belly button, so high waist pants were necessary. It was comfortable and lightweight to wear all day through weather changes.

The top was wonderful for wearing at work and then for a date night that evening. It is a snug fit, but I do feel like it's true to size. I wore it with high waist jeans (casual friday).

Cute, but deeper V than I thought
This top was cute, but the neckline went a bit deeper than the occasion demanded. I also felt the arms to be a bit tight and they stopped short of my wrist. I don't know that a size up would have helped, as it fit everywhere except the arms.

Super cute, but I couldn't move my arms much.
This dress is adorable on. I rented it for a wedding, but ultimately didn't wear it. My problem was I probably needed to go a size up to have the fit in my arms. It stopped short of my wrist and the arms have very little stretch. Overall, I'd recommend, but maybe go a size up if you plan to be on the dance floor.

Cute, Stretchy, great length, but..
I wanted to love this dress, but it was a bit snug. It was a bit difficult to zip just on the hanger and while wearing it. I was able to try it on, but I was worried about the zipper and did not wear it out of the house. The arms were also a bit more snug than I would have liked.

Long sleeves, comfortable fit
I wore this to work and for a date night. The sleeves were about 2 inches too long on me, but the wrist is a bit fitted, so it wasn't a big deal. The neckline is a bit low for work, but the tie covers it and I had no issues.

Super tight sleeves
Unfortunately, I did not get to wear this top. There is only one button hole option on the sleeves and it was way too tight. I did try it on, and the chest buttons pulled a bit, but it has a flap so it wasn't very noticeable.

I LOVED this dress. I wore it like 6 times while I had it. So many compliments and I just felt amazing in it. It's an actual wrap dress, so the waist was easy to adjust. It was a bit low on my chest, but i just wore a cami under and it was fine.

Adore this dress!
The dress is adorable and gives the look of a skirt and top. The skirt is lined and the top is thick enough to not need an undershirt, but not so thick it's hot (which is great living in the South). The dress could use some pockets, but I'm not too mad about that. The tie is purely decorative, which is great because it gives it some interest. The waist has a kind of ruched elastic, which I feel makes my midsection look a bit thinner.

Mard Gras Ball
I wore this dress for a Mardi Gras Ball. The fit was lovely. I used a stick on bra and had no issues. I can see where someone with a smaller chest size would find it large. The length was great for what I wanted. It brushed the floor while I wore flats - I was in this dress almost 9 hours. It is a true wrap dress, ties inside and ties outside.

Mardi Gras Ball
I rented this dress for a Mardi Gras Ball. There is light padding, so I chose not to wear a bra and was fine. I used a small bit of fashion take on the sides just as a precaution. The back straps are adorable, but they fit a bit odd. I have broad shoulders and a short torso. The top straps were snug and fit well. The bottom straps were a bit loose. It was long on me (5'4") but I expect that with most formal gowns. Wore a 2 inch wedge and was fine.

So many compliments
I adore this sweater. The bell sleeves, the embellishments, the warmth. Everything about this sweater is perfect. The sweater runs big, but I actually liked the way it fit. Several coworkers told me it as a beautiful sweater and they loved how it looked on me. The only thing I would alter is the sleeves, they ran all the way to my fingertips.

Cute, but small
The dress is about 2-3 inches too long on me (I'm 5'4"), and it is a snug fit on the waist. It was difficult to zip, but the sleeves fall off my shoulder. Once it's on, it looks great! I used fashion tape to keep the sleeves on my shoulder and had no issues wearing it to a Mardi Gras ball. It was easy to dance in and I wore it for several hours. I received several compliments.

Loved it!
I loved wearing this dress. I paired it with some vintage mary jane pumps and it worked great! The drop waist is not for everyone, but I personally thought it was adorable. Sidenote, the zipper is along the side seam. There is a zipper for the inner "layer" that zips up and a second zupper for the patterned fabric on the "outer" layer that zips down. I had to have my husband zip the second zipper for me.

It's cute, but I'm short
I did not wear this skirt out of the house. It was so cute, but I was too short (5'4") to pull it off. Rather than being a midi length, it was an ankle length skirt. It was a bit big in the waist, but not so big it would fall off. It does look cute on. If I had a couple more inches, I would have happily worn it to work.

I rented this top for work, and ended up wearing it casually and for work. I paired it with a skirt tucked in, with flare pants tucked in, and with slim fit pants untucked. I received many compliments. The fabric was thicker than I expected, which was a nice surprise.

Love it!
I received so many compliments on this top. It was adorable with some casual jeans and with work slacks. My only complaint is the top button didn't like to stay closed. I safety pinned between the top and second button to keep it together.

Meh.
I wanted to love this dress. I ordered a 10 (my usual size) and traded it for a 12 and it still had an awkward fit. It's snug around my hips, but loose in the shoulders and midsection. It is beautiful on, as long as you don't have to walk far or up two flights of stairs - the top layer of the dress would ride up while the lining stayed mostly in place. I did pin the top - when I sat down, the fabric would gap forward, flashing my cubicle neighbor. Overall, not a great dress for an 8-hour work day, but might have been great for a casual work function for a few hours.

Flattering Fit
This dress was perfect for my mom's 50th Birthday dinner. The v-neck keeps in interesting, but isn't so deep that mom tells you to cover up. The length was great on me, though my sister (who is 2 inches taller at 5'6") felt it was too short on her. I wore it with flat sandals, but wedges would have looked just as well. I did have a small issue with puckering at maybe the third button. It wasn't so much as a pucker, but the embroidery didn't allow the edge to stay flat. My husband and mother-in-law both said it was not enough for them to notice, so I wore it as is.

The Perfect Dress
I adore everything about this dress. It's the perfect fit, length, color, and style. It is the perfect mix of vintage and modern. I wore it for work, specifically a going away breakfast for a coworker. I work at a desk all day and the dress did not feel constricting. My only complain is the buttons pull around the hips when I was going up stairs, but this is such a minor issue that it did not affect how much I love this dress.
