Roomy but pretty cute
The next size up was the only size available, so maybe my feedback would be different for my regular size. That being said, it feels overly large. The sleeves are very roomy, the tie is incredibly long, but I really liked the pattern and overall style.

So small
Incredibly small from the rib cage up. I'm in between sizes so I sized up and even that was too small. If you're big busted, definitely size up.

When will the cropped reign of terror end?
The top is cropped, the waistband is snug, and the sequins are uncomfortable against bare skin. A rare miss for Boss.

Fit and color is great, but it's itchy
The wool is so rough that it's more than a bit itchy. I am not typically sensitive to wool but this was very prickly. The arms appear to be unlined or poorly lined.

Good staple but a bit itchy
I love the Veronica Beard brand and own a lot of pieces from the label, including several blazers. I like the colors, pattern, and cut, but the material is a bit itchy.

Great summertime dress
I loved this dress. It hit all the high marks of a great summer dress. It has a fun whimsical print. It has pockets. It’s lined. It has adjustable straps. Only drawback is the cups are seamed so if you are bigger busted, they may not lined up correctly. I ended up wearing a jcrew sort over it and it just looked like I was wearing a skirt. I still loved it.

Pretty and feminine
This is a great dress. It has pockets! The pink is pretty and vibrant. Like most Boss dresses, it runs a bit large, so if you're in between sizes, size down.

Cute, easy BBQ dress
I wore this to a friend's cookout and got constant compliments. I went up a size because I have a large chest and the fabric had no give. If I rent again, I would rent my regular size as it was very roomy.

Pattern is great, baggy throughout. Size down.
The pattern, colors, and style is different and cool. The fit could be better - it's large throughout, and especially through the chest and shoulders. I have broad shoulders and am on the bustier side, so I would definitely size down.

Great fall dress
I loved this dress. Despite being a long-sleeved, mid-calf, turtle neck dress, the impeccable fit keeps it from being frumpy. As an FYI, the background is a dark navy, and I wore it with a navy blazer.

Beautiful color and fit - a bit itchy
This would easily be a five start if the wool weren't so itchy. It wasn't unbearable, but it did deter me from wearing it again.

The slot is insanely high
Granted, I am on the taller side, but the slit was very deep and essentially exposed my underwear when I was sitting. Thankfully I was wearing tights and had saved the dress for the drive back. Frankly, the slit is completely unnecessary on a knit dress and baffling on a long sleeve dress that is essentially sweatshirt material - no one is wearing this outside the fall or winter so why the slit? The pattern is very cute, the cut is flattering. If not for the slit, I would give it five stars. I wish designers would understand that super deep slits makes clothes work inappropriate for a lot of women.

Frumpy mess
The dress was large everywhere except the button across the bust. The waistline hits directly under my bust and was loose. It is an elastic, unstructured waist with a flimsy fabric belt. There was excess fabric near the armpits. The skirt was a shapeless sack. The fabric is flimsy and it’s unlined. I’m sorry I wasted a spot on it.

So small
I saw the reviews saying to size up and at least one poster said to go up too sizes. I normally wear a medium in sweaters. I ordered an XL and it was still very snug. It also ran short through the body, which was a dealbreaker for me. It’s too bad because I really liked the pattern and the idea of the sweater. If you narrow shoulders, this will probably be fine for you. I have broad shoulders and a large bust so not for me.

Size down
I really liked this dress. It was perfect for a conservative work environment. It runs large, so I sized down and it was still a little roomy but didn’t look large. My only complaint was that there were a lot of pulls on the fabric, which is too bad because I would have bought it.

Pretty but not my favorite Saloni.
The dress is the typical feminine Saloni dress. The details are nice and the print is different, but it ultimately was a nice enough but nothing special.

Demure without being dowdy
I was a little apprehensive about the lone sleeves and high neckline because that can be dowdy on a busty woman, but it hit my wait at the right point and for great through the upper body. It was too large through my hips and ars so I may try the next size down.

Too country bumpkin for me
A rare Tanya Taylor miss for me. It was too country bumpkin for me. The slit was also really high on me - it was cut to my upper thigh standing; it would have been indecent if I was sitting.

Beautiful but very tight through the bust and ribs
Pros: The dress is gorgeous. The print is unique and colorful and the silhouette of the dress is flattering. Cons: Even after I sized up, it was very tight through the bust. It’s also long. Luckily, I’m tall but I’d say it would be too long for anyone under 5’7.

I loved this dress but it’s a heavy wool material that is appropriate for late Fall/Winter. I loved everything about it and hopefully I can rent it again when the weather cools off.
