Scratchy and unflattering
Didn’t even wear this one as the fabric was highly uncomfortable and its was very unflattering. It could work for someone with a very straight body who is looking for a quirky hippie vibe. Otherwise, not gonna be a good choice

Cute cut but fabric too thin
I wanted to love this- the cut was very cute. But the fabric was just too sheer for white overalls. You’re gonna see every single thing underneath- the line of you shirt hem, your undergarments etc

More sheer than the photo
The jumpsuit definitely is a built in bra/sheer top situation. So that makes the fit a bit particular. Super cute and loved the colors. But ran too small to wear. Size up at least once. Twice if you’re busty.

Super cute for date night
The fabric was thick enough to hide the flaws. Recommend a belt. The long sleeves and collar (and thick fabric) make it a little claustrophobic. Definitely not a hot weather outfit. I think it would be darling with belt and boots in the fall. Will rent again.

Weird shape
For those with an hourglass shape this isn’t it. The skirt underneath clings to you and cuts at an unflattering mid shin. The top layer is beautiful but the overall fit is unflattering.

Looks as pictured
The cut was just okay on the flattering scale. I added a blazer to give it more dimension. I feel like it needs something- a belt perhaps. Otherwise it’s cut sort of straight and plain. However it’s a super fun and comfy base layer. Felt great in Las Vegas. Recommend.

So fun and comfy!
The inner thighs are gonna get friction if you wear this walking around much. Leggings/tights fixed that for me. The cut was very low so expect to use a safety pin, tape, or a plunge bra. But I got continual compliments, felt super comfy and sparkly. The sequins is lovely, has a blue accent mixed in so the effect is an incredible sparkle. Was amazing for a concert in Vegas and would have been good for dancing too. Highly recommend.

Great quality and comfortable
I wore this for a formal fundraiser event and felt like it was perfect. The length is sophisticated and off the shoulders it’s just a little bit of sex appeal but the dress overall is very conservatively cut. That doesn’t mean it’s stuffy or unflattering because it has a nice thick fabric that covers all the bulges you want and skims your figure beautifully. I highly recommend this for curvy girls or for a formal event where you want to feel beautiful but also appropriate for the setting.

Too scratchy
The top has a weird slouchy/ over sized sleeves with a crop. It has a nice sparkle and could be made to work but it was way too scratchy. So I couldn’t wear it

Cute but revealing
I had to put a tank top underneath this one because between the short hemline and the low-cut top it didn’t feel appropriate for the party I was attending. I loved the swoop of the sleeves and the rushing of the waist was very forgiving for the midsection. All in all if you feel good about showing off some legs then this is the dress for you. It was short enough to be flirty but I could still sit comfortably. The fabric was nice and thick and soft. I did feel that the waist fit could have been a bit more flattering and the ruching added some thickness to my waist in person which I didn’t like but in photos seemed to photograph OK. If you have a large bust then be prepared for this to show a great deal of cleavage and either have the brawl to rocket or have a shirt planter underneath.

Oddly shaped
This didn’t drape correctly. Even with the wrap it sat large across my shoulders. I wanted it to be trimly wrapped or slouchy and boho but it was neither. I couldnt wear it.

Whoah cleavage
If you’re busty beware. The cups are tiny and oddly spaced. The back is smocked so it doesn’t hold you in, or stay up well. It managed to be both too large and too small in the cups. That said it was fun enough for a date night but Whoah on the cleavage. Was pulling at it all night.

I wanted to like it but this was a miss for me
The fabric and the cut of it is so cute. I wanted to love it but ultimately it had too many “weird fit” issues. Straps were awkwardly long, and I’m tall and busty so this would be worse on someone else. Waist didn’t quite cinch/blouse correctly so it ultimately added to my waist visually. The length is awkward. The fitted part should cut at the knee so the ruffles dance when you walk. Or be long. But it cuts mid calf and so it adds bulk and not curves. Didn’t wear. Sad to say.

Beautiful quality fabric, sophisticated, weird coloring
Ultimately I couldn’t get past the deep blue and almost-emerald color pairing. It didn’t work with any outfit. It’s a little on the fancy side. Can’t pair with blue jeans (blue) can’t pair with black slacks or dress. Maybe if you had some brown neutrals this could be an elevated top layer? Nice and warm and fit comfortably. It doesn’t give you much shape but that’s to be expected for a coat like this. It’s a lovely soft fabric.

Short, sassy, attention getting!
The dress was stretchy enough to be forgiving and accentuate curves. I’m between 10-12 curvy and the large was perfect size. Loved the zipper detail in back. I love the subtle copper/rosy variation to the silver sequins- elevated the look. A few things- this is short so be prepared if you plan to dance! The sequins will catch your hair so probably plan a sleek style- pony or updo. The armpits are a tiny bit snug if you thicker upper arms. The sequins shine will highlight tummy bulge. Just fyi. But if you like your legs this sexy little number is a fun show stopper. Would be perfect for Vegas.

Couldn’t even zip it up
I’m busty but have a small rib cage so usually it works out for dresses. This couldn’t even zip over my ribs/chest and arms. The drop waist fabric blocks are weird and make you look hippy- which I didn’t need. This would probably be good for a thin woman who wants to look curvy. But no one else. Size up!

Cute and sassy sophisticate
This coat is warm, soft and a perfect sophisticated glam. Versatile for many occasions. The fabric is a weave with color variations that makes it look a little less stuffy and more fun. It looks itchy but it’s actually super soft. Would wear it again! It’s a bit tailored/snug which was perfect over a dress. But it would need to size up to go over a sweater.

Heavy and elegant
This would be perfect for opera or similar high class affair. The fabric is incredibly heavy- so do not recommend for warm weather but would be ideal in winter. Ruffles are very fun feature but note: very conservative. No leg showing. And the weight of it pulls on you a bit. If you like the Audrey Hepburn look and you will be in a cooler temp- this is for you. If you wanted Latin va-va-voom with ruffles- look elsewhere. No real sex-appeal here. But very classy.

Comfortable and flattering
I wore this to a black and white ball and it was fabulous. I was concerned it would pull down (like so many off the shoulder styles do) but it has an internal strap around your rib cage for added stability. It stayed in place even through lots of dancing. The dress has a lot of stretch to it. So if you have an average or smaller waist- size down for sure. It will hug your hips no problem. It showed just a bit of cleavage- enough to feel sexy but not over the top at all. Highly recommend!
