Had potential. Just didn't do it for me.
The top half is significantly bigger than the bottom half. I was swimming in the top and couldn't find one bra that wouldn't show.

Loved the lilac color
Great fabric, color and detail on the shoulders. Got lots of compliments. While i didn't feel uncomfortable with the décolleté, i agree with other reviewers that the dress doesn't hide the womxn on the balcony. ;)

Another knockout with unique fabric gathering over belly $ hips
Runs a little bit more snug than other things i have ordered in the same size from this designer. It's very bodycon but the unique fabric gathers hide belly bumps. One thing i didn't see in photos (though written in the description) is the menswear inspired pinstripe. It's light but very much a defining feature. Great for my work.

Bigger upper arms = not this dress
Agree with previous comments - i couldn't wear because the dress sleeves squeezed at my upper arms but it was also very body-con. If i thought sizing up would fix the arm issue i would have done that.

Brilliance in light gorgeous layers
This dress is absolutely stunning and compliments came all day. It's one of the most modest dresses i have ever worn but it doesn't read that way. It fun, flirty and colorful. It also hides everything!

Edgy in a vintage glamour sort of way
Loads of compliments from all genders. This dress was classy with a bit of flare from the collar pop. Be sure to give it an extra iron down before wearing so it lays flat against the collar bone. Great thick material and extra panel in the chest that helped me go secretly bra free.

Classy look when standing; if you are tall surprisingly high slit when sitting
For taller folks, the dress has a straight panel of cloth alongside where the dress has a faux wrap in the front. Where the fabric falls showed too much leg for my work environment.

Every one of my female co-workers loved it.
12R fit great and likely so would have the 10. It was roomy but in a completely adorable way. The wider legs forced me out of my standard comfort zone which was great! The item doesn't come with a belt but does have belt loops. Wore without the belt (i was traveling) but would have been adorable with.

The dress helps anyone feel sexy
I loved the décolletage line but the leg slit was just a little bit more than i wanted.

Thinner material than expected
Just ok for me. The material is lined but surprisingly thin. There is a pattern which is nice but couldn't tell from the other photos. The wrap left more leg exposed when seated as well.

Vibrant color and totally great for corporate work

Gorgeous shoulder and back detail. Super lightweight yet amazing material that didn't show everything. So classy!

Compliments all day!
I loved it so much i bought it. 1950s glam with a modern edge. Very fitted on top which translated to no bra needed for me (bonus).

When your partner says it's the hottest outfit they have ever seen you in
Super low cut and lots of cleavage. Shows off legs and hides belly.

Size up if you have broad shoulders
Gorgeous blue and super soft leather with pink fur. It's warm! I typically wear 10 tops but large was too tight in shoulders. Next time would do XL

Strangers asked if i was an artist in it
I have broad shoulder but it fit great on top and didn't gather at the bust. I found the calve width to be slightly different - tighter one one side -which required me to roll the hemline up - but it looked super cute that way.
