So. Much. Fabric.
I thought this would be so cute as a set, since I already owned the top. Definitely size way down, but not sure if that would help. The waist is elastic behind the tie, but it was pleated and there was just so much material that it made me feel much wider than I am. I didn’t wear them and couldn’t wait to take them off.

Would have bought if it wasn't cropped
Loved this - but even with high waisted jeans, my tucked-in T shirt showed underneath. If you don't mind a crop, rent this! It's comfy and cute.

It was fine
I wore this as part of a "Grace from Grace & Frankie" look, but wearing it without something underneath made me feel too exposed. Probably since it was still winter, and I wasn't feeling fit in my arms - it may work for others or at other times of the year.

Perfect for NYE. Back is gorgeous, too!
A little bit hugging around the tummy which isn't great in white, but otherwise perfect for a formal holiday event.

ADORE THIS DRESS!!!!!
Loved it so much I bought it, despite the price. I wear it all the time. Compliments galore. Apparently it is meant to be very form fitting, so I sized up and it's perfect for work. A.D.O.R.E.

Great, but not for work
I got compliments on this dress from a stranger - but it was a little too tight and revealing for work. The slit in the back was too high, and rode up when I walked. It worked for one day and was cute, but I only wore it once.

Comfy, nice dress but a little form fitting for my workplace.

Meh.
This dress was fine. Good for someone with more of an hourglass figure - it ballooned out around my hips, and there was extra material even with a belt. Neutral, fine dress that I liked better with some accessories.

A little revealing for work
Something about the cut / how tight / length / sleeveless made this feel too risqué for my office. But very cute and with an interesting twist.

Itchy around the neckline
Really wanted to like it. Looks gorgeous, but the mesh sewn into the neckline itches so much that I couldn't wear it twice.

Good for tall people!
Also unbuttons so it can be worn a little flirtier. Held up while biking but was cute when I wore it to the bar. Not difficult in the restroom due to the buttons.

Love the mix of patterns!
Despite the memorable patterns, wore this a bunch of times. It's more flattering than it looks in the photo, although it is form-fitting. The slit in the back is a little higher than I would normally wear, so for those two reasons, I didn't buy it, but I did like this dress.

A little tight for a tall / long waisted person
See photo...I could stand up mostly comfortably, and felt great - love the cute vent in the back - but it was a little short for me, as is typical with rompers. It's also low cut enough that all my normal bras showed, and I went for stick on petals instead. It was ok for a night at a restaurant but would have bothered me had we been more active.

Perfect dress for a shower
Loose, drop-waisted feel, but the length and cute ruffles on the front keep it from feeling frumpy. Wish I'd gotten a better picture! Got compliments all day. I wore with cute kitten heel mule sandals.

Like a dress with built in shapewear
I own this dress in a small, and the long version in a medium. Both fit great because of the stretch and thicker material. If you are self-conscious about your stomach, size up - it hugs. Got compliments all night and bought both dresses!

It was ok
Material felt kind of cheap, and the dress was baggy for me around the hips, because I don't have notable hips. It was fine for a day at work, but I wouldn't wear again.

Adore this dress!
Love this dress! Good work dress as long as your workplace is not formal - the skirt was a bit short and the zipper area shows even a bit more skin. When standing relaxed, it shows a bit more of my underarms / side body than I would prefer, but I love the look and cut so much that it didn't matter. I will likely buy this dress.

Ok for a night out, but odd fit
When I first put this on, I thought it was broken based on how it fit. The options seem to be: fall completely out of the top, or pull the straps awkwardly tight and be vigilant all night! When I got it arranged, it was cute. Low cut, and needed to be held to my body when I leaned over. I had to wear an adhesive bra because of the strange fit. I'm a 32A/B and still found it a challenge to keep the shirt in place.

A romper for tall women? Yes please!
Loved this so much that I have to buy it. I'm tall with a long torso and rompers never fit me! Although this one didn't have the "blousy" effect that it has on shorter girls, it still fit and was so comfortable. Stretchy material, easy to get on and off, and cute pockets!

Nice dress; what you'd expect
This dress was a solid choice for work. As expected, lighter colors are a little more revealing but there is a liner so it's not bad. It looked more flattering without the cardigan, but I forgot to take a photo without it before returning! My husband LOVED this dress and begged me to buy it, but I found that 2-3 wears was enough for me.

Fun dress! Perfect to rent but not own.
Rented this for a party - it was very comfortable and fun! Form-fitting (I wore a large and would normally get a medium) but lined in the skirt for extra support. You can tie the side in different ways to show slightly more or less skin. Loved this dress, but it is so distinctive that it's better to rent vs wear only occasionally.

Perfect for a beach wedding!
This dress is thinner material than I expected - perfect for an outdoor wedding in hot weather. The slit was barely noticeable except in the wind or when walking. I was worried about the top since I'm small chested and don't fill it out, but it looked just as great with the top a bit loose. VERY comfortable and I got compliments all night! I'm 5'9" and was able to wear heels with this. 150lbs and 32A/B. 32-30-36.

Comfortable and so flattering!
I had to buy this dress after wearing - got so many compliments! It feels like wearing comfortable shapewear- helps to pull you in. I rented a size small in the short version of this dress, and both the S and M for me, one just feels more snug - because of the stretch, it will be a matter of preference which size fits you best. I'm 5'9", 150 lbs, and measurements are 32-30-36.
