I had such high hopes for this dress. The size note says appropriate for height of 5'2 to 5'6. I'm 5'3 and it is far too long. I would need major heels to prevent it from puddling on the floor. The material feels nice but there is no give. The waist and hips fit fine, but the bust was too small. No way that it was going to button closed. There is a knee-height slit on the left leg, but the way the material falls it creates sort of a puckering effect around the slit. I think this dress works best for tall, slender, smaller busted ladies. Sadly, not for me.

I was really tempted to buy this. The design is so cute and it's just big enough for my wallet (full size wallet), phone, lipgloss, etc. Held all my necessities and was comfy to wear. I wore it crossbody on a field trip with my sons. It was easy to carry.

The dress was beautiful and vibrant in color but didn't suit my body type well. The top of the dress required a tank to not be indecent but still seemed too big/baggy (I'm a 38DDD). The midsection seemed to fit a little too small on me. The belted area felt like it hit too low and in a weird spot. I was hoping I would love it enough to buy but it just wasn't for me.

Fit like a glove! I got several compliments as well. I am a 16 and this fit very true to size. The material is thick and luxurious but stretchy and comfortable. While it is fitted, its not body con and is professional looking. The arm holes were quite large even though I'm very full busted so I wore a cardigan over it. Otherwise a good bit of my bra was visible. I wore it to church.

I was super excited for this dress but didn't realize it was kind of a sweater knit material. It definitely had some wear and fuzz balls/pilling. Not enough that I wouldn't have worn it if it were the right size. The material was very soft and comfortable. I am a solid 16 in most everything but this was pretty big on me. I think I could have sized down to a 14 and may try it again in that size.

The bag was a little smaller than I realized and very stiff. I could have fit my wallet, phone, sunglasses in it but not much more. I didn't end up using it.

The material is 'slinky' (not sure how to describe it.) but it's thick enough not to show every little bump and lump with spanx. The ruffle does a good job hiding my tummy which is a trouble area for me. The 16 fit perfectly (my normal size) although as busty as I am, the neckline was a bit baggy. I put a modesty panel that snaps to my bra straps as it was too low for me. The material did show a few little rolls on my back but I plan to wear a cardigan with it as I don't do sleeveless, and that hides it. I swear I can see a bit of a panty line even with spanx but my husband says he can't.
