Beautiful design but small in hips and baggy everywhere else
Like the print. Fabric is thin and dress unlined. Too small in the hips but really loose everywhere else.

Love the Sleeves and Button deail
pockets are odd and did not lie flat.. could be that the skirt was a bit on the small / narrow side

Looked great, until I saw the slit
slit too high for work (in my opinion); dress was really pretty from the front. really bummed that I couldn't wear it.

I thought this would be the best dress for post-wedding brunch in April.
The dress had a really strange and unflattering fit, especially around the chest. The top was really small and flattened me out, rather than accentuating any curves. From the waist down it was okay.

Beautiful dress, just long enough for work
The arms were too tight! I felt like I was going to rip the seams just moving my arms around, so I didn't end up wearing it.

Really beautiful color & any dress with pockets is a winner
The dress was super comfortable to wear all night. At 5'7" I had to wear flats, but that was fine. Loved the cutout back. It was really a unique standout at the black tie wedding. The skirt is very full and is regal. Felt like a process in this one

Super comfortable and great color
I was worried the sequins would be scratchy, but they weren't. This dress is beautiful with a little stretch/give. The color is very vibrant.

Cross body or shoulder bag. Bigger than I thought it looked in photos. Fits a lot! Great pockets inside and one outside.

Dress was pretty, but ultimately chose something a bit more exciting.
Thought the uneven tulle hem looked a little off... not like a typical hi/lo dress

Needs heels unless you are super tall. Otherwise, great dress.

Amazing jumpsuit - super flattering fabric
Got this for a weekend in Vegas and ended up wearing it to dinner in NY. Really trendy and fun. Super comfortable to wear. I am 5'7" and wore the regular with kitten heels. The only weird part were the seams down the front - wasn't sure if I should wear a belt / cover them up.

Got a lot of compliments - most people thought the pattern looked a bit "retro".
I didn't read the details carefully and was surprised to see that it was knit. Very comfortable to wear all day.

Very interesting and edgy dress - different than anything else I have ever worn
I normally wear size 6 for dresses, but sized up because I am curvy on the bottom. The 8 was still too tight through the hips, but the top was almost too big on me. Husband said it made me look "Blocky".

The gold fabric shimmers a lot more than you can tell from the photos
The top on the left side (from shoulder to collarbone) did not lay flat.

Fits like a glove - very comfortable.
This was another dress that looks a lot better in person! the pics do not do it justice. The fabric is really colorful. I paired it with gold jewelry and a bright orange scarf...

A little too low cut for corporate setting
I had to wear something underneath because it was a little too low cut for my liking. The midsection was also a bit awkward, with some bunching. Seemed like I could not wrap it tight enough.

Tweed bottom is so pretty!
Fit perfectly. Got lots of complements on it at work. The tweed fabric in the skirt is really colorful and vibrant. The pics online do not do the dress justice.

Really accentuates the legs...
The dress is very unique with the solar system skirt. Got a lot of complements. Pairs better with cropped blazer than sweater. Wore strappy sandals. Need racerback/ x-back bra.

Wore to a black tie wedding... Best dress there. Got tons of compliments.
8 long would have been the right size, but that was not available. Was able to make the 6 regular work, but it was quite tight. Added Jcrew belt with feathers, which worked well. Dress was not even touching the floor when I was barefoot (and I am 5'7").
