Nice dress; v too open for short torso
Dress itself was nice. Liked the fabric. The V was very open for someone with a short torso; required a camisole underneath to be appropriate. Not sure if it was the fabric or the cleaning but the seams at the edges of the dress wouldn't lay flat.

Great work dress
Super flattering and comfortable dress. Felt like I was in Mad Men wearing this to work. Wish it was a bit shorter since I'm only 5'2" but it was such a great dress that I still wore it.

Just ok
Dress is fine. It was roomy on top and a bit tight across the hips. Didn't do anything for me so I didn't wear it.

Great basic top
Fit well and looked polished. Not too exciting but a great option for work or with jeans for a more casual but put together look.

Comfy with a touch of sass
Easy piece to dress up casual jeans. Perfect for a casual Friday, weekend, or even work day with a pencil skirt or trousers. The top itself is a sweatshirt material rather than sweater (which I didn't realize from the pictures) but you can't tell unless you get really close and it makes the top that much more comfortable. The fit is TTS but the length seemed a little short. Fine for me because I have a short torso but something to be aware of.

Cute but unforgiving
Spite wore this dress to work and it was just okay. The dress, color, and shape are very cute overall but it has a very unforgiving fabric/fit across the stomach and hip area. Even though the dress fit fine and even had some room you could still see the seam of my tights through the fabric and it accentuated my midriff in an undesirable way.

Work dress with a twist
Really liked this dress. Wore it to work and I liked that it looked very offside appropriate but with a fun twist from the sparkly scalloping. Runs a little small but I was still able to wear the extra small comfortably. If you're similarly sized with a full bust (or longer torso) I'd go up one size.

Cute print; nice fabric; very oversized
This dress was much bigger than expected and shapeless. I wore it anyway because the print was cute and the fabric was comfy. Overall, kind of blah but I think it has potential to be more exciting if sized down.

Cute dress but not for my short torso
This dress had so much potential. The fabric and cut are nice and I planned to wear it with a black tissue turtle neck for a cozy winter work look. Unfortunately, the fit just wasn't for me. While I'd say the dress is true to size, it's for someone with a longer torso. As a result, on me, the waste band fell lower than my natural waste and hit in a pretty unflattering spot. The arm holes were also a little big but that might be again because it was just meant for someone that's longer on top.

Fun pop of color for work
Cute work dress with a pop of color. I liked the mock neck and print, they gave the dress a fun 70's vibe. Wouldn't own it because it's so memorable but it was a fun piece to spruce up my workwear. Only complaint is that the particular dress I received was visibly a bit worn out.
