Beautiful dress
I really liked this piece and it was great to wear. The stretchy straps make it possible to wear across your neckline of up as straps (which makes a square neck line). The material of the dress itself is a little stiffer and warmer to wear (maybe not as great during peak sun outside), which was great to wear in the evening. The bottom is crafted so the skirt has some structure to it and makes you feel like a princess when wearing it.

Beautiful pattern!!
I loved how pretty the colors and pattern of this dress were, got a few compliments!! However the dress material itself leaves much to be desired. The material feels most similar to spandex/ athletic clothing and lays over the body like such. I wish there was a little more structure to this dress because it felt very thin and like anyone around us could see every outline of my body with it on ( i do think the pattern helps hide this - but still an overall feeling, felt uncomfortable in the dress after a few glasses of wine and lunch and opted to change into something more comfy)

Absolutely stunning dress
Could be dressed up or down, has a lovely pattern and the shape/structure of this dress is to die for. It has tie shoulder straps to adjust and is otherwise a corseted top with boning. The material is very light weight. Wore this multiple times with my sister also wearing it for a day and both of us are obsessed with this piece

Form flattering and very comfortable
I love this dress so much I purchased it! It is made of a linen material so its light weight enough to keep you cool and overall is more fitted around the bust (fitted but has elastic material on the back to accommodate larger busts) and flows outward. The straps are adjustable. The pattern on this dress is to die for and I was obsessed with!!

Felt a little tight
I loved the pattern on this dress and the neckline. I think the fabric felt a little more snug to my body than I am normally comfortable with and is certainly more of a body con styled fir if you do with your regular size

Size up if you want to wear it closed
I love ulla johnson and her prints so so much and this piece was no exception. I had a hard time with the fact that the opening of the cardigan is made from the same stretchy fabric as the rest of the garment which means the buttons would gape if you stretched your arms back or at all. I think sizing up would help prevent this, otherwise beautiful patterns

Babydoll dream dress
Super flowy dress with extra repeating layers. I dont usually love shorter dresses just for modesty sake but this dress was wonderful and I felt well covered. The patterns on it are also beautiful!!

Snatches you in all the right ways
I love how silky soft and stretch this fabric feels. I think for a mock turtle neck it does a phenomenal job slimming your shoulders and top. Its hard to appreciate here but the material color is orange and some jem tones. Loved it so much I bought it!!

I loved the blue and the pattern on this dress. I was surprised at how lightweight it felt which was nice in the heat. I would totally rent this again!!

Stunning gown
I loved this dress so much. The overall look of it was very luxurious and the back was open so also felt a little sexy. The dress hangs as a halter and the material being crimped is pretty heavy in total so just be aware it will put some pressure on your neck. For me it was totally worth it though!!

Gorgeous, well made dress
Got lots of compliments on this. The pattern with the birds and flowers is very tropical feeling. The overall quality of the dress was a huge hugh point for me and felt good to wear on a cold cruise ship.

Great vacation dress
It was very comfortable and felt like a slip material but with a pattern. The alternating pattern on top felt a little weird looking but it seemed to work. The front is a tie front which felt like it had a little extra material to accommodate larger busts but sometimes looked a little weird on me/ seemed like extra material. Very nice to wear!!

Pretty colored slip dress
Overall I enjoyed wearing this and it seems like it looked good. The colors are spring tones with some brighter colors and and some more muted - it really felt like water colors. The structure of the dress felt like a normal slip dress but I agree with the previous comments that the boob cutout parts didnt line up well with my chest, which was fine for me as I just let it lie flat. The buttons in the front are fake buttons which I thought was kinda a strange feature but otherwise looked fine. I wore this was a black slingback kitten heel which I think worked fine. It feels like with the style of the dress, it lends itself toward being dressed up a little more than just an everyday dress with a more casual shoe or jacket

I LOVE THIS TOP
After wearing this Ulla Johnson is my new favorite luxury workwear designer, I was amazing by how soft and comfortable the fabric of this shirt was. I was a little skeptical of the green and yellow/golden colored pattern when ordering but it was honestly so beautiful. I got lots of compliments and just really felt so put together. The shirt is by far the softest/more comfortable dress shirt I have ever worn by far. I didn’t get a ton of pictures of the whole outfit but I wore this with black trousers and flats with my brown bag to break it up. The statement of the outfit was definitely this shirt, I would love to purchase this for myself sometime in the future but for now loved renting this and am excited to rent more pieces from Ulla Johnson like this one.

Gorgeous levi jeans
I seriously considered keeping these, they fit like a glove. The fly is all buttons which I thought was really cool and very easy to use. The color is not quite as dark as I was anticipating but overall they were still a really beautiful denim blue and very comfortable.

Solid, staple black jacket
This jacket is versatile and study. I got the size 6 which was a little boxy feeling but I don’t know if a 4 would have fit as comfortably. The sleeves were long enough for me, maybe a little on the shorter side if anything. It appears to be a two tone black situation with a collar and satin inside lining. The lining made it a little annoying to carry around as it is one of those jackets that will slide out of your arm if you’re walking for awhile. It was great to wear as a coverup at night or if I got cold when we were in NY with weather in the mid-high 60s/ low 70s. The buttons are nice and easy to use. There are two front pockets which were big enough to fit my iphone with the case sticking out a bit. The orientation of the pockets is more for holding things than to put your hands in. I thought the length was good, it is shorter than your average jacket but not necessarily cropped; it ended at my pant line for mid-rise jeans and dress pants.

STUNNING DRESS
I honestly could not say enough good things about this dress. Pictures don’t totally do it justice but the embroidery and the multicolor sequins beautifully sewn in are absolutely stunning. I fit in both the small and the medium but wore the medium so sitting would be easier. There is a full length gold zipper on the back of the dress so you can customize how tight you want it down to your ankles, I had it unzipped to my knees-ish to help with walking on a lawn and dancing. The zipper also comes in handy when you need to use the restroom, since it’s hard to pull up the dress from the bottom with just the mass of detailing on the dress - but its super easy to you and I was grateful I could zip myself up and down easily. There is a nude colored, short length slip that goes under the dress as the outer layer is a little see through. The slip did bunch a little at times/ I just had to pull it back down into place after sitting for awhile but I never felt exposed. I got so many compliments on this dress - it felt like I was a celebrity. Would highly recommend!!

Perfect for spring events
Wore this for my medical school graduation and it was perfect! It has a very beautiful spring colored flower pattern on it and a sweetheart style neckline. The straps are true tie straps so they are adjustable. I thought the cups kinda as part of the dress were a little small and so they didn’t necessarily line up with my chest but with the pattern you can’t really tell. There were times where the top cups sagged a little - I’m referring to the crease created between the cups and the rest of the dress - which I had to adjust at times to make it lie flat/ look better for photos. The top of the dress is pretty form fitted and the mid section has a stretchy back which was nice for sitting/ not feeling like you can’t breathe while eating dinner. The material is overall very light so it does easily expose stomach bloating/ underwear lines, which was the reason I wore the 6 instead of the 4 (both fit fine).

I am obsessed with this dress
I got the m/s (which I believe were what I was sent as a size 6/4) and I ended up wearing the small. I am 5'8 and 150lbs, I wear a 34C bra. It was a little tight (not uncomfortable though) around the rib cage but I didn't really have the boobs to fill out the medium so the small was perfect. The dress is pretty long, I am wearing a 3 inch heel in this photo. The stock photo of this dress has it with blue on top, which was not my experience. Otherwise, I LOVE this dress. It was absolutely perfect
