Bizarre fit
I think the designer missed it on this one. The fit was off unless you have extremely long arms

Overwhelming and underwhelming at the same time. Too much going on for a petite frame

Fun, flirty, fantastic! I bought it
Wore this during a northern Michigan, late summer vacation where the weather was a bit chilly. Great dress to get locked in a wine cellar in.

Not for petite women
Although the dress is short, there is way too much material for this to fit a petite woman. The sleeves are overwhelmingly long

Great concept/poor execution
Pros: corset styling. Cons; way too much material that bunches up in front making the abdomen area look huge. This dress is not for petite women as it will overwhelm your frame

I wore this to my 65th birthday party. So many compliments I decided to purchase it. The dress skims the body in the bodice and flares slightly at the lower waist. Note: I am 5'4" 123 pounds, 34C bust, 28inch waist, and 36 inch hips

I was afraid this was going to be too baggy and formless on my petite frame. I am so glad that I took a chance on this little gem. So many compliments. Super comfortable. Loved it.

Bizarre fit
This is the second attempt ordering this dress. The first time I ordered it, I ordered a small and it was tight. This time I ordered the medium. Tight in some spots baggy and loose in other areas. Great concept. Terrible execution

Sizing is wrong/too small
If you wear a 27/size 2-4, order the medium. The size small was too tight in the waist.

At first I debated as to whether or not this was age-appropriate for a 64-year-old woman. My best friend, who is extremely conservative, thought it was fine. Loved it! I bought it.

A little stiff and bulky
Material, I found it a little bit too stiff and bulky for a petite frame. I don't think sizing down would've made a difference on this one. Nope, I am 5'4", 32C, 29 inch waist, 36 hips, and 120 pounds. I don't think Kevin Harrington minded though. Lol

Lightweight and festive for Naples, Florida Christmas Eve
So many compliments from strangers passing by. The dress is lightweight and airy for an 82° day in Naples, Florida as I finished my last minute Christmas Eve shopping. The only downside is that the material is a little bit scratchy

Way too much material for petite frame
The top of the dress was too small. From the waist down, there was way too much material. Material is stiff and didn’t flow. The colors were great. For reference, I am 5‘4“, 121 pounds, 32C bust.

Bizarre zipper
This was a fun jumpsuit. The fit was just OK though. The straps are not adjustable and kept falling down. The zipper is quite bizarre. At the bottom of the zipper, is another zipper. Not sure what it’s there for. Who would even use it, or why? It was annoying when you sat down because it was like sitting on a piece of metal.
