Great to dance in
Wore it to a show in Las Vegas - was great to dance in and very comfortable. The 8 fit perfectly. Got a ton of compliments.

Really striking dress that worked well for many vacation dinners
A little big with a lot of fabric, but the drawstrings helped winch it in a bit. Did need to iron after being in suitcase. Wore with heeled sandals and it really worked out well for an upscale resort dinner. Will probably buy.

A bit long but manageable with heeled sandals. So comfortable and versatile
They were a bit long on me so I needed to wear with heels for them to hang correctly. But they were incredibly comfortable and versatile - wore them for a family photo shoot and out to dinner a number of times on a Hawaii vacation. Got lots of compliments. Will probably buy.

Just slightly too big but also a lot of fabric
It looked okay to other people, but it was a lot of fabric to manage, a bit heavier weight than I expected and not terribly comfortable for that reason. Felt just slightly too big. High-waisted which is OK for me, but maybe not for others. I wore them also on a warm vacation and they may have been a bit more comfortable as spring wear.

Too small in the bust - gapped so I didn't wear
Would have been a cute dress - the length and the back were flattering, but the large gaps in the front when buttoned made it unwearable - better for smaller chested ladies.

Would have been better if taller, too much material
I loved the pattern, but the cotton fabric is heavier and there is a lot of it. I just drowned in it and never wore. Would have been much better if I was about seven inches taller.

The waistline bunched but looked better with a long top over it
Partly my body, but the waistline didn't lay in an attractive way - bit of a bulge and the drawstrings didn't do much to rein it in. Looked much better paired with a longer top to cover the waist.

Couldn't zip with full bust
Not a good fit for me. I couldn't have gone larger or it would have been too long. I couldn't zip it all the way up over my bust. Looked liked a pig in a blanket.

Shorter ladies beware
I'm 5'3" and wore three inch heels and the hem still dragged on the ground. The material was interesting and I liked the look of all the pockets but I had to hold the pants up as I walked.

Super versatile sweater, not too heavy
Wore it with a white button down dress shirt, leggings and boots to a casual Thanksgiving gathering. It was a great fit and really comfortable. The only downside is it attracts fuzz like a magnet and pills somewhat easily so watch out around pets and light-colored blankets. I may decide to keep it as it was a really comfortable weight for indoors.

Great fit and comfortable, just a bit scratchy
Loved the fit of this sweater! It was a great option for Thanksgiving with family - a nice weight and not too hot. I wore a cotton long-sleeve underneath as I can be sensitive to wool. Even though the blend is only a small part wool, I did get some irritation on my neck from the collar. If it weren't for that, I would have kept it.

Cozy sweater, really long arms
I already have long arms and these were really long. I had to roll them up in order to be able to use my hands to eat etc. Cozy warm sweater though and the body portion fit well. I wore a cami underneath for a family dinner.

Cute and Comfortable
A cute sundress I wore on vacation. It was very comfortable in hot weather and fit perfectly. Looks especially stylish with a higher heel. The side zipper did stick a bit and I had to work with the straps to get them to tie right. There is a lot of fabric in the skirt - it will drag on the ground if you're sitting.

Cute dress, watch out if full busted
It was a cute short sundress I wore on vacation and I loved the color. Watch out if you have large breasts. I couldn't find a bra that worked well due to the wider armholes so I had to go commando. My boobs looked like two giant cantaloupes and it wasn't super flattering on me. If I had been around people I know, I wouldn't have worn it -- but since I was on vacation I went for it. Would definitely be cute on someone with a smaller chest.

A lot of material, a bit long on shorter people
I wore this on vacation - liked the lightweight material as I was in really hot weather. However, other commenters were right on -- the wide open back pockets make an already large amount of material look really unflattering and I felt a bit dowdy in it. I would tape them down if possible. I'm also shorter and I rolled the top once to compensate which made the look even more dowdy.

Cute on Top, Not Cute on Bottom
The top ran a bit big but looked really cute when styled with some rolled cuffs and jewelry. The bottom had a weird flare in the material on the sides over my hips that made the piece really wide and unflattering on me. I couldn't tighten the waist or get the material to stay down. It looked better with hands in pockets but really was not a good fit. I was so bummed because I usually like that style. I didn't wear it out of the house.
