Great color pop - just size up
Super fun too that was tight at neck - looks best zipped up. Paired with oversized jeans and a crisp shirt or blazer for a sporty pop of orange.

So cute and so small
Usually a true 4. My belly busted out of the waist buttons - no way to wear it .

This was a big nope for me. I was drowning in fabric and looked like the 70 year old version of myself - aka 40 years older than I am

:(
I wanted to love because the print is even better in person but i am not sure how this can be flattering on anyone who isn't very tall and lanky -- I looked like a big bellied man on vacation.

This wasn't as fun IRL and also too short to wear in public.

Cute for a teen
Exposed zipper on back and shininess of material made this feel like a Forever 21 purchase from 2008

So much fun! I thought this might be too long on me (I'm 5'2) but it worked well with low heels.

Don't want to give it back
I'd keep if it wasn't still so $$ even though it's been around for more than a season. I'm 5'2 and barefoot as pictured - while long, it's elegant and slimming when paired w an oversized blazer. The armpits are a little big as others mentioned but given the fabric I can't really imagine wearing this except in fall/winter. Would wear to work, too.

Who me, prairie?
Not my typical look and if I get it again, would style with some combat boots or Timbs. Tons comments on this one from friends and colleagues!

Great fit, beware rain
Love this dress. Super light, lots of air, flattering on a shorter person when the length is longer. Note, deducted 2 stars bc I wore this in a light rain and had about 2 mins before I decided to open my umbrella. Wherever it made contact, there was minor but noticeable water marks / discoloration.

I like it
Cute dress. Love this and it's white and black polka dot sister from Rails. Nice lightweight dress for day-to-night. Will rent again.

So cute and so NSFW
Love this dress. It looked good to wear to work but watch the skit up the side -- it goes pretty high when you're sitting for awhile! Would rent again but save for date night in the future.

Who fits into this?
Not sure who this fits in length if it’s too short on me! I’m 5’2 but got a booty which I guess makes it even shorter. It was too short to wear in public. Hard to tell in some of the photos but the shoulder/sleeve shape made me feel like this would work as a festive outfit for a rodeo (just add cowboy hat) -- but unfortunately that is very much not my vibe for date night (or any night).

Just a little long for me!
I wanted to love this dress but it was just a hair too long on my frame to wear without heels (I'm 5'2). I tend to be between a XS and S, so would size down next time -- The straps are adjustable but only have 3 settings; even on the shortest one, it was close to my ankles. Didn't feel like a cute option to belt it - the shape is too cute! Others said the material feels cheap, I'd disagree -- its definitely thin but feels resilient, and would be adorable for a day on a boat or at a park.

Obsessed
I adore this guy. I wore for dinner and drinks with friends - fit is super flattering. I got tons of compliments, was worried it would be too heavy for summer but there's lots of airflow between the leg slots and back. It is a pretty heavy denim so if you're trying to wear in humid east coast summer it might be hard but in CA on a night out in spring / summer / winter -- it's perfect. Only FYI is that the denim fabric wrinkles easily - nothing a quick steam can't fix but good to know in case you want to throw it on straight out of the bag.

Bright n easy
I wasn't sure if I was going to wear this dress out to the office -- it's very bright and a little off brand for me (usually more muted colors). I got a ton of compliments on it from colleagues and strangers. Super light fabric but not the most breathable.

I snagged this for a casual summer work dress but it's even cuter than expected! Planning to bring this out for a daytime dress / weekend getaway too.
