Pretty dress but sheer
This is a beautiful dress, however, the top part is unlined and see through. I wore a nude slip underneath and it was fine but something to consider.

Terribly unflattering
Let me start by saying I love Ulla Johnson dresses. This was quite possible the least flattering dress I’ve ever put on. I wouldn’t even wear it around the house that’s how bad it was. The middle section is bulky & doesn’t lay flat while the pattern creates an awkward illusion.

Truly terrible
One of the most unflattering dresses I've ever put on. The elastic waist is very loose and the cut around the hips adds so much volume that there's no shape. In addition, the waist is very low & the buttons on the chest are so far apart that you're either unbuttoned to your ribs or up to your neck with a large gap in between. I obviously did not wear this & would not recommend.

Traffic Cone Chic (if that's what you're in to)
I sized up due to reviews of other dresses from this designer and there was no need to. I ordered a 10 and an 8 would have been a better fit. This is a high quality garment but the fit and color are such a miss. I really felt like I was wearing a construction vest due to how neon the orange is and the way the sleeveless dress is structured. I sent it back before even wearing to WFH if that tells you anything.

Runs large
This designer is pretty hit or miss for me. This dress ran rather large & was unflattering. There's a belt for the dress but I didn't receive it when I rented. It does have pockets though! I might have liked it better in a smaller size.

WFH option
I initially hearted this for work but wore it for WFH. I wouldn't be able to wear it into the office because it's pretty short on the sides. The material is soft but it clings to your legs. The elastic waistband sat a little too high on me so it wasn't particularly flattering. It's comfy & cute for a zoom call.

Unique & fun
I really liked this dress! I ordered a large but would have preferred a medium. There's a drawstring waist which helped even though it was too big for me. I didn't have an issue with the sleeves being too tight like some reviewers mentioned. It's super cute & I got compliments from a few strangers.

So fun!
I loved this dress! The yellow is vibrant and so flattering. The material is heavier so it would be nice for a cool fall day. The fabric is forgiving and I loved the hemline. I wore it to work and didn't think it was too short. I would definitely rent this piece again and I only deducted one star because the sleeves are an awkward length but you can roll them up and it looks so cute.

So fun!
These earrings are huge & sparkly!! I loved them & I thought they were a fun addition to my white dress I wore them with. They are clip ons & after about 3 hours of wearing them they did start to hurt. They are fairly light for how large they are so I think it was just the fact that I don't wear clips ons that they were hurting me. But super cute!!

Cute dress
I got this to wear to work & it was very comfortable. I should have sized down because it was much too large in the waist but I liked the color. It has pockets!

So unique!
I LOVE this dress! I think this style is so fun & flattering. The dress was a great fit and had a fun cutout in the back of the dress that made it unique. I wore this going out one night but it would be a great date night dress.
