Shape did not fit as pictured **personal measurements included**
In the images, it looks like it is a curve-hugging dress, but on me, it was loose and gapping around my waistline and then too tight on my hips (and I don't have very curvy hips - waist is 28", widest part of my hips are 38"). The fabric was not stretchy and due to the tight hips/thigh area, it was impossible to walk, even if I got over the loose waistline. I really wanted to like this dress.

Strange shape made it unwearable
Unfortunately, I had high hopes for this dress. I liked the heavier material, but once it was on, the hips laid way too high and bunched with any movement. It made the dress look cheap and like it was the wrong size, but there was no way I could have sized up or down. Maybe someone with a shorter torso would be able to wear it but beware. I am 5'7" and the dress's hips started around my ribcage and didn't come back in until my thighs, I have a pretty small waistline, and it was completely lost in this dress.

Cute, but size up
I rented my typical size, and couldn't get it zipped. It has a side zipper, which typically fits smaller than the button front. So cute in person, wish I could have worn them.

SIZE UP!
I'm typically a size 2, and the small was WAY TOO SMALL! It barely wrapped all the way around and when I walked it came open. If it had a little snap or button at the wrap, it would fit great, but unfortunately, I wasn't able to wear it.

Great medium size purse
Loved this pop of color for everyday use. Made a trip to the grocery store feel a little special. It was the perfect size for a long wallet, phone, sunglasses case and anything else I needed to throw in. I'm now in the market for a bag this size!

Great top, but runs small.
Felt great in it but even with the little stretch it was too tight for all day comfort.

Loved this dress but it was too small.
I was able to wear it one day but the cut of the sleeves rubbed a little too much for comfort all day. I imagine a size up would be perfect.

Great print but fit funny
I wanted to like this dress so much. I am not a bright color girl and something about this print caught my eye, but once it was on it was another story. The hips of the dress hit too high on me, and I don't have a very long torso for someone 5'6. Also, it was more of a midi dress than a work appropriate mini. It hit below the knee on me and it was a little too much bright pattern than I'm used to. I could get over the length but the hips made the whole dress look messy and too big.

Beautiful color but fit weird on me
I love the jewel tone and the details on the sleeve and belt. An added touch of luxury is that all the buttons are hidden. But unfortunately it was just a strange length for me. I am 5'6 and it hit a little too low for a midi and a little too high for a maxi. Also the belt had to be wrapped three times around my waist. I tried tying it but that just looked messy compared to the sleek lines of the dress.
