Pretty color but weird skirt
I love this color but am sending it back because the crisscross in front at the skirt comes up too high and it looks very odd and not flattering in front. Never mind sitting down. I have long legs. Maybe for someone with more torso it would work. Just not my jam.

Cute print -not flattering on me
The highish neckline and flutter sleeves make me look like a linebacker. Runs small. No give to the fabric. I should have known As I am an hour glass and this just makes me into an Apple. The polka dots are cute. Red and purple. Metallic. But just meh. Sending it back.

Sophisticated eggplant work dress.
Nice plum color. Looked great on a Zoom Call. People were exclaiming. Dress is close to brand new and great quality. I am losing weight so probably won't buy her but she's a lovely standard winter dress for the office if they still make you go.

This dress got constant compliments. Has some rose gold threads in there. Flattering.
Cute, stretchy, forgiving. One of the best things I ever got from here.

Kennedy center and a promotion party
Love this dress! Cool enough for DC. In the summer. Only drawback is a lot of cleavage. Wore it with a cardigan to make it more modest. Very cute if you are pear shaped.

Way too short
Slit in front and dress length made it way too skimpy and I am only 5"5'. Fits more like a petite.

Wanted to like it but...
I wanted a prim and proper and interesting dress for my rather formal work environment. Cons: The collar is tacked down in the back so pearls or a locket which would look so cute coming out in front don't lay flat under it. To me this is awful design. Like others have experienced it is long waisted and more narrow less A-lined than it looks. If you are short waisted or curved it may be a problem. The arm holes were weirdly big and gape in front so needs a cardi over it. You have to wear the right cardi too or it will hit in a way that makes you look wide. Pros: interesting fabric: it has a solid black shell lining inside and a sheer almost netting-like fabric outside with white red and green floral pattern printed on. Then inside the crisscross pattern is made by some kid of dress-tape applied inside the skirt. It is very high quality and imaginative. I will probably wear it for work once & send it back.

Great color but runs large!!!
I rented this to go with white Lilly jeans and sandals. It's colorful and does go over my hips and I like the ruffled underskirt which lays flat and makes it cuter than a plain shell. However it could be more tailored at the waist. It's just shapeless and makes me look thicker than I am. Will probably wear it one time and try something else. Also retail it's expensive for what it is; maybe because it is nicely made.

Cute but can be embarrassing due to riding up problem!
This dress is so flattering and great for work to dinner date! However, MAJOR CAVEAT! Be careful how you carry a purse! I was 2 blocks from the White House with a friend when a man caught up to me to say my dress was hiked up in the back! My entire right cheek was out for all to see. Totally mortified!!! My friend didn't notice because it looked normal in front! The fabric is clingy and if there's any static it will ride up and you may be oblivious. Carry your bag on your hand not at your shoulder!!! This is the only reason I won't be purchasing it.
