So comfortable and sexy!
What a gorgeous summer dress! I was skeptical because it is knit, but I wore it twice in the Vegas heat and it didn’t get stretched out at all. Very comfortable and flattering. Only issue is that it’s a bit see through, so you’d probably want to wear nude panties and bra. I probably could have gone down a size, but this one was just fine. I bought it!

So comfortable!
Yep, the split in the front is a little odd, and isn’t the most flattering dress skirt. But it is a truly well made and very comfortable (perfect balance of stretchy and thick) dress. I just put a jacket over it and ran boots and it looked great. I would rent again.

Weird droopy fit
Excellent length and very comfortable material. Unfortunately I couldn’t wear it because it was very ill fitting on top. There isn’t really a way to wear anything under it or adjust the straps either, so it was big and awkward.

Runs small, but cute color
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to wear this as it didn’t fit over my chest, 36D. The color is really cute and unique though.

So cute and flattering!
I thought it was going to be too short, but it was perfect on me. The fit was just perfect. Such an amazing pattern! It’s a thin, unlined material, but very comfortable in the summer heat.

Dynasty Vibes
And not in a cute vintage way. Tight in the bodice which would have looked ok if the top wasn’t so big with the massive shoulder poufs. It was an awkward and ugly fit.

Really cute, better sized down
This is a really cute and stretchy shift dress. The green is really a nice surprise. I wore it with a shaper tank top underneath, in case the buttons came open. If you’re particularly large-chested, this style may not work for you. But it’s an awesome, flattering fit on a thick-waisted person like myself.

Not great for my shape
High waist is normally a very flattering cut for apple shapes like myself. However, this one seemed extra tight in the middle and extra baggy in the legs and hips. Also, I'm too short with these to get this cool baggy pants/short inseam with booties look, which is so on trend right now. Anyway, they looked a little silly and would have been extra silly if I could have sized up to fit my waist (I'm a 14 in jeans, and the 32 was tight). I have other jeans like this that fit much better and are more flattering.

Very unflattering
I have several oversized, thick sweaters that I'm loving this season. But this one missed the mark. Frankly it looked ridiculous and I am too embarrassed to post the photo of it publicly. I'm not sure sizing down would help at all. However, if you just need an extremely warm, well-made garment, this would fit the bill. Quality is very high and pattern is beautiful.

Seriously considered purchasing
If this wasn't such a distinctive pattern (that I thought I may get sick of wearing), I would have purchased this dress. It is stretchy and flattering for my body type (thick waisted). It was slightly long on me because I am shorter, but that didn't matter considering the ruffle hem. Just so pretty and comfortable!

Loved this dress! Very flattering
Wow, I didn't expect to like this dress as much as I did. I wore it several times, as it is very versatile. I wore to work, to a conference and out to dinner. The neckline and slit on the leg were both very flattering, and the dress made me feel great!

Tough fit with a flimsy zipper
Very nice color, and I'm guessing the shape may have been ok if I had been able to get it over my head. These little dainty zippers are really such a pain and always very difficult for me to manage, especially when the dress is tight. It felt a little snug despite the fact I ordered a size larger than normal. Normally Black Halo works for me, but this one just didn't.

Very comfortable!
All Fuzzi dresses are very comfortable and flattering because of the stretch mesh fabric and interesting prints that hide flaws. This one was wonderful, but not my favorite because the arm straps were a little long. I may have taken them up, if I owned the dress. Also, I like other patterns better, but it was still great to wear for day to day.

Beautiful dress!
This is an absolutely gorgeous dress, and I received a lot of compliments when I wore it. Although, for me the fit was a bit tricky because I am thicker around the middle, and this dress requires a cami to not be too revealing (so, another layer to zip over). I had to zip up the dress to my waist in the front, then spin it around, sneak my arms through and zip up the rest. There's no give in the material, and the zipper is tiny. But the result was totally worth it because the rest of the dress fit perfectly and looked stunning.

Another great, professional dress!
I was the first wearer of this excellent dress! It fits true to size, looks very professional and is quite flattering. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that the zipper sticks (when will dressmakers ever learn?) and it was a bit scratchy to wear all day (wool, high quality). But other than those two things, I recommend this dress for work!

Great for headshot photos!
I wore this dress with a bright blue cami underneath for headshot photos. This is an extremely comfortable and professional dress, and I wish I could own it! Sizing is perfect and flattering. Stretch material. To look professional, you'll probably have to wear a tank/cami underneath.

Very shiny and pretty!
This dress is a knockout! It's shinier than the photos show, so fair warning. It's a beautiful, high-quality dress with a comfortable fit with good stretch to the material. However, it is HOT and pretty heavy. I do not recommend wearing it to Vegas in August, as I attempted to do. Haha. I couldn't leave the hotel with it on so, unfortunately, I didn't wear it.

Great, thick material
Form-fitting dress. I normally wear an 8 or 10 and the M was snug. However, I think it was a perfect fit. I had to wear a cami under it, or the cleavage would have been way too much for daytime! I also wore it with tights and boots. Very cute for fall/winter.

Such a flattering dress!
I wore this to work with boots and it looked terrific. Several compliments. I found it to be a bit stretchy, and true to size. Material was not very thick, but you could not see through it. you certainly could wear it with tights in the winter. I don't have a waist, but this gave me curves and was very flattering.

Pretty colors, lightweight dress
Agree with the other reviewers that the colors are very pretty in person. I had several people comment on it. It is also lightweight, which is nice for summer, but not a lot of structure. And because I carry my weight in my belly, this didn't really fit right on me. I had to wear a cami under it because the top is really low cut. So, that means I had a another light layer under it, so the 10 was not a flattering fit. I wore a sweater over it, and it looked fine (like I said, I got compliments on it), but not the look I was going for.

Not the best dress for my body type
The cutouts and lace are unique and really beautiful. I wore it with the belt and black pumps. It was just okay on me, probably because I don't have a well-defined waist. I went up a size because the material is not forgiving at all, very thin. I couldn't wear a shaper under this either due to the position of the cutouts. I guess I could have, but it would have looked too matronly and would have detracted from the lace detail on the top.

Very cute back-up dress
I liked this better than my first choice dress. You can do a lot with styling. I dressed it down with black flat boots, a belt and a long, loose sleeveless sweater. It would also look good with tights if it were cold. I needed help getting it zipped up, but that was the only issue. This is made of sturdy material with some metallic in it. I could have gone up a size (equivalent US 10) to fit my waist a little better, but then the top would have been too big. But that's normal for me because I carry my weight in my stomach. The shape of this dress gave me a defined waist.
