so so
The skirt has one button on the inside, which works for a small-ish waist. The wrap is tricky because you could end up flashing people when you sit down.

waist needs to be just right
The dress has buttons and zero stretch so your waist needs to be just right. If it is, the dress is lovely. Good for work and otherwise.

this bag cannot handle any weight and fell off my shoulder
good size and soft leather. However, it cannot handle any weight and fell off my shoulder twice. So I cannot use this bag.

Small Waist
Really disappointed that I could not even squeeze into this dress. The waist is small. There is NO give. The top part at least has the ties so you can adjust some for a larger or smaller bust.

Nice work dress for standing still
Pros: looks nice, flattering cut, pockets, pin tuck sleeve detail. Cons: no give. waist/ribcage and tummy area a tad too small for me so looked like I was bursting out. Sleeves do not work for reaching my arms forward or up. The fabric will stop you or cut into you.

Do not eat a big meal in this dress
Pros: cute, good to amount of room in the chest and arms, flows, looks great for work and after work, nice material. Cons: no pockets and there is a button right at the waist/under the breast. There is no give. A little bit uncomfortable after I ate some food. Better for the slimmer gals I suppose.

Cute, comfy, nice color
I want to give 3.5 stars. This was easy to wear with a forgiving cut. The tie gives it shape and waist definition. Color is nice and perfect for spring and Easter. Downside is no pockets and the fabric is a little stiff, wrinkles very easily. I like that it's cotton though and not synthetic material.

Elegant and flattering
Wore this to a bat mitzvah Pro: flattering around bust and waist. Nice elegant style- not too boring, not too flashy. Con: straps slipped off my shoulders and were not adjustable.

Elastic waist! Classy without being boring!
I have rented this dress twice and may buy it. It feels classy, comfortable, feminine and interesting. Lots of compliments. The flow of the fabric when I walk is nice. The slit up the front is not too high, so it’s fine for work and I can sit down without flashing everyone. Perfect for work to evening or brunch or a baby shower etc.

Fun forgiving dress
Dress was fun and mildly fitted without being tight. 2xs worked for my 36C chest. The middle fit and hid my belly. Love the pockets. Dress looks great with heels and jewelry.

36C not fitting the Large
Can't zip it up and the band is over my boobs, not under. Sadly can't wear it. Love the cotton fabric and cotton lining (not crappy polyester lining like a lot of clothes). The embroidery is nice.

Cute bag, good size, open on top
Very cute bag: pink in one side, beige on the other. Love the plastic handles plus crossbody option. Only one small zipper pocket so difficult to have my wallet secure and all my shit fell out when I was in the car and stopped suddenly bc the top is open.

No secure pockets inside
Pro: cute Nice sized bag and outside pocket for phone . Con: Only 1 inside pocket with no zipper. So my wallet is floating around and a thief could reach in too easily. Does not work for someone on public transit or walking around.

Runs small!!
And not just snug. The sleeves were 1-2 in too short on me along with the shirt length. normally small and mediums are fine in sleeve length for me. I couldn't wear this.

Pair it with fun sports bra or bralette and sneakers
Loose comfortable fit. Love the pockets and subtle side stripes. Felt sporty chic running errands on the weekend wearing this with pink sports bra and sneakers. Considered buying but expensive and hot weather almost over.

Fierce triple chain bag looks great and good size
Fantastic for every day. Love the 3 different chains. I sling it like a crossbody with the chains in front. Makes it easy to wear gold or silver jewelry. I have sloped shoulders and it slips off too easily if I put it on one shoulder. Bag fits phone, wallet, sunglasses and a bit more. Only con is the bag is bit heavy, even when empty.

Pro: good pockets, easy fit hides extra pounds, sash gives a lite shape, passable for work or dinner, comfortable until it gets remotely warm then the sweat is gross Cons: polyester is not breathable, not flattering I don't understand how this passes as "designer", target could make a polyester muumuu with a sash like this for $20.

Cute bag but constantly slipped off my shoulder
The plastic chain shoulder strap looks cute but was not practical at all. It kept slipping off my shoulder. Fine if you will hold it in your hand.

Silky feel
The dress felt so comfortable and pretty. Love the elastic waist and adjustable straps. Usually I don't like polyester but this material felt really nice and smooth. Probably would work best with no bra or paste ons because there is a hole underneath the bow so probably difficult to wear a strapless bra without it showing. I bought it!

Not functional
There are no pockets or anything inside this bag. The top closes with one magnet. I live in a big city and commute by subway. I need a zipper pocket for my wallet and it's nice to have some pockets and things to organize what's inside my purse.

Awful cut
The cut is just wrong. Maybe if you're really tall, willing to tape the front in place and show side boob and go to the club, this dress works. Looked work friendly on the model - it's not.

So lovely and comfortable
Really comfortable, especially in a sweltering day. Fabric flowed really nicely when I walked. Waist drawstring is adjustable so that was helpful. Good coverage for work. I wanted to buy it.

Looked great and comfortable, but some small issues
The armholes are way too big so I had to wear a black tank underneath. I like how the belt snaps are adjustable in the back but several times I bent over and the snaps popped open. So there I was standing among my coworkers snapping the belt shut.

Cute and comfy but not for the office
Pros: material feels great, fit comfortable, classic print. Cons: not good for work or walking outside ie. too deep at neckline so I pinned it and skirt short and flew up when walking outside.

Comfortable and fun
I'm really glad I tried this on on the store bc I went through 2-3 sizes that were strangely too tight in the bust. In the larger size it looks billowy and is close to floor length. Very comfy and looks good. Tempted to buy. Plus pockets!

Fit on top was too big. Very sheer light dress, good as a beach cover up. The picture is not accurate.

No zippers so small things may fall out
Pros: sleek, simple, elegant bag, 2 inside pockets. Cons: the inside pockets have no closure, there are gaps on the sides of the main flap so when my bag got jostled in the car stuff fell out and I almost didn't notice.

The poofy sleeves looked awful on me
Nice soft fabric. Pretty color. Something about the puffy sleeves was really unflattering on me. Maybe because I have narrow shoulders? Or should have gotten a smaller size? I don't know. I sent it back without wearing it.
