Amazing
This dress is beautiful. Adjustable straps made it easy to work with the structured bodice. Usually a size 4 or 6 in dresses - medium was perfect for me. Loved this dress.

End of summer fabulousness
This dress was so comfortable and lightweight. Kept me cool at a hot summer day at the racetrack. Love this dress and fits perfectly, even on a petite frame.

Cutouts are ill-placed on a short woman
Very pretty but cutouts sat weirdly on my torso. I needed a shrug to feel comfortable

This only can work on a tall woman. This skirt was way too long on my petite frame and was unwearable.

Very light and pretty. Love the color. Small was big on me - more like a tunic. I will get the XS next time to see if it fits a bit better.

Very easy, light dress. Perfect for hazy, humid days. It has pockets! Not a color scheme I should usually wear, but I really liked the pop of color. It got me out of my color comfort zone.

The dress is amazing. Beautiful sweater dress. A bit long on a petite frame, but it works. Just clingy enough. Might go with the small size next time.

Wore to work on Halloween (added devil horns for subtle effect)
Beautiful fabric. Not "shiny" or "drapery"-like, as others have described. It is a crepe material. Runs very large, so size down.

What a great dress. Beautiful print, and great material. Very flattering and comfortable on a hot day. Runs a little long for a petite woman - it is not tea length on me. The straps are adjustable! Why can't all the designers do this? Overall, loved it.

Did not wear.
The fit is true to size, but the pleats sit high on the waist and create a balloon effect, which is not flattering. It was not flattering and I did not wear it.

Even though I sized up, based on other reviews, the dress is too tight in the hips. The fit is not proportional. Way too big on top, and strained at hip. Did not wear.

It is supposed to be a loose shift, but it is very, very big. I will order the size 2 next time, if I want to wear this dress.
