Stiff material
Very pretty coat, but the material is quite stiff. The cut of the shoulders/sleeves makes it hard to move around.

Love this dress, but tough in chest
I adore this dress, I think it's so chic, but unfortunately the chest is a bit too open once you're moving around. Wrap dresses are hard for this reason, but I found anytime I moved the wrap would come open around my chest and I was constantly adjusting it. It may be better suited for smaller chests.

Pretty dress, work appropriate
This dress fit TTS. I had ordered it before in my true size (a 10) and it fit perfectly. I ordered a 12 this time around because it was the only size available and it still worked, just a bit big. Pretty pattern and the neckline is work appropriate.

Drapey jersey, runs large
I’m very consistently a size 10 and this was 1-2 sizes too big on me. It was also very long for petite sizes - I am 5’3” and it was probably 4 inches too long to be a true midi. The fabric is a drapey jersey fabric that hugs everything, which I don’t love for my body type. The color is very pretty in person.

Front section does not stay closed
I had ordered this to wear on a date but I didn’t realize the front section is freely open (there is nothing other than the black bow at the top connected of the front panels). It made it impossible to wear out in public b/c my chest would fly out and it’s not possible to wear a bra. Not sure how you would practically style this one… otherwise TTS and nice material.

Not formal enough for work
I had ordered this for a work event but the neckline is a raw hem, which I couldn’t tell from the photo. It felt too informal for work, but could work for something else. The material is thinner than I thought it would be too.

Comfortable work dress!
Amazing work dress! The material is a comfortable cotton. Because of the material the colors aren’t quite as vibrant as they are in the photographs, but I still loved the dress. It was fairly warm as well.

Itchy, not a boxy fit
Based on the photos/reviews I thought that this would be a boxy fit, but the bottom seam is tighter than you would think so it doesn’t flow out. It just wasn’t the style I was looking for, but not a bad thing. The fabric is itchy.

Business Barbie vibes, a little too short
I ordered this dress hoping to wear it to work but it was a tad too short but that because it doesn’t stay down if you move your arms so it just wasn’t practical. I’m 5’3” for reference. Otherwise loved this dress! Very cute, business Barbie vibes. I’ll have to find another excuse to wear it!

Fun, lightweight dress!
Fits TTS. Loved all of the details - sleeves, hem details. The skirt is lined but didn’t feel like too much fabric. The bottom of the sleeves were a tad tight (not stretchy) but didn’t bother me.

A lot of fabric, but fun dress
I loved the color and the style, but it’s a lot of fabric and the lining is quite thick. I sized down after read reviews, and the bust strap fit but the fabric was a lot. It was also a full maxi length on me (I’m 5’2”). I think the length and amount of fabric overwhelmed my frame, but it could work on someone taller. Very pretty color!

Gorgeous dress! Runs large!
Loved this dress! Perfect for a summer night. It is lined, which I didn’t expect. I ordered 1 size down after reading the reviews and I think I could have even gone one more size down but it looked good as it was. The straps are adjustable which helps. It’s long if you’re short (I’m 5’2”) but I was still able to wear flat sandals - the dress was full length on me

Pretty dress, but nothing special to me
I wore it to work. It fit TTS, but it was shorter than I had expected and I’m 5’2” so it would could be quite short on taller people. It hit at my upper calf, close to my knee, and I was expecting more of a midi. The tie in is smaller than I thought it would be so it didn’t seem like a noticeable detail.

Obsessed with this dress! Almost bought!
I can’t say enough about this dress! I loved the fit - it had a slight A-line and the puffy sleeves are a fun touch. Perfect length on me (I’m 5’2”). I didn’t notice this in the photo reviews but the buttons up the front of the dress are large, round, and covered in the material of the dress. I thought it was a really fun and chic detail.

Runs small, very thick cotton
I ordered a size 10 and I couldn’t get it over my head. I’m consistently a size 10 in Ulla Johnson so was surprised it ran so small. Even if it did fit I think the fabric is way too thick for the summer - I had read thick cotton in the reviews but it is quite thick!!

Sexy, flattering, light weight dress!
I wasn’t expecting to love this as much as I did! It is form fitting, but didn’t feel tight. I got my true size and it fit perfectly. The top section is double lined and has a clasp enclosure for the bra section only so I felt supported - the dress never felt like it was slipping off. Also, the material was super lightweight despite being polyester which was great for a summer night!

Not lined, tight on bust, colors are muted
I didn’t end up wearing this dress because it’s not lined and the crochet sections are see through. It was tight in the bust but fit ok enough to wear. I don’t think I could have sized up without the dress overwhelming me. Also, the colors are more muted in person.

Light-ish weight, comfortable dress!
I loved this dress! I sized up 1 size after reading the reviews and the dress fit perfectly. I’m a D cup and didn’t have any issues with the bust. I also didn’t feel like the straps were ever falling down, and I’m short. The dress is longer on me because I am 5’2”, but I liked the length. I wore this trip on a day trip to Positano and it felt a little heavier than I initially anticipated but it was also very hot - I’d say the dress is pretty lightweight but the fabric was a tad heavier than I pictured it would be. I love the raw hem!

Love love love this set. Skirt can be worn separately or with the top. I’m a true 10/12 and found the Size 44 to be large, next time I’ll size down. I’ve never gotten so many compliments on an outfit.

THE BEST SET!
I cannot speak about this set enough. If it wasn’t $1000 per piece I would have bought it! It is so fun, so cool, so chic. The parts can definitely been worn separately as well. The shirt fit perfectly (I’m a 10), the front is open but not too open. I’ve never gotten so many compliments on an outfit before!

Cute fit, slits are too high for work
I had ordered the dress for work and the slits were way too high to wear to an office in my opinion. Very cute skirt though, fun take on a classic pinstripe.

Very long sleeves/body
Based on the reviews I ordered a size down (usually a L in coats, ordered a M) - the coat itself fit but the sleeves were SO LONG. You can’t really roll them up because the fabric is thick after 1 roll, and I easily would have had to roll up the sleeves 3 times. The jacket was also long in a way that made it feel like it was overall proportioned for someone taller than 5’5”. The color is also more orange in real life which i wasn’t expecting.

Fun, structured skirt - long if you’re short!
I loved this skirt - it was a thin structured material, different than I expected, but I liked how it sat on. Very lightweight too! It was longer than I expected - Im 5’2” and it was at my ankles, but I still liked the look!

Long and weird fit
I didn’t wear this dress for a few reasons. First, it is way too long. I thought it would wear as a midi, but it was a maxi dress on me. To be fair I’m short (5’2”) but I was hoping it would be midi length. Second, the fit was proportioned for a tall person. The torso section was too long on me. Lastly, I felt it ran a full size small.

Boxy but cute!
I loved this dress! I’m pretty short (5’2”) and after reading the reviews I was worried it would be too boxy. I’m usually an L and ordered an M. I really loved how it fit. It’s definitely boxy but I didn’t think it was unflattering.
