Bought it, absolutely no regrets
Fits like a glove with a bit of give, extremely flattering and versatile. Wear with a shirt underneath, with and without a blazer, with boots, sandals, or heels. I love this piece.

Super fun jumpsuit
I love this jumpsuit! At the lower end of my weight (closer to 130) I’ve worn the 27 and liked the fit on the waist and hips; the 28 fits nicely but is maybe a smidge long in the torso. I wear it without a bra because it’s tight around the bust. I love it!

Not a great fit
Too tight through the waist, and the ties for the sleeves felt like a strange and potentially annoying choice. Also it’s linen so it wrinkles. A no for me alas.

Cut and comfy but girls on display
Had to use fashion tape to keep the cup of the dress from moving or gaping. Probably easier if you’re smaller busted, or have less projection. But it’s nice and light weight. And pockets!!!

Super cute, love that it has pockets
Just a little tight, gapping in the buttons when I sit down, though the form fitting gave it a nice shape. I’d be curious to try the M. My measurements are 35/28.5/38 or thereabouts

a bit sexy, also long! also POCKETS!
The neckline on this dress is low, and the back cut out is quite wide. It makes your boobs feel a bit precarious, but they're safe in there thanks to all the straps and the stretch fabric. I love that this had pockets! Although you can't put anything heavy in them (like a phone with a big case) because then that will pull the stretch top down, awkwardly. So it's more of a place to put your hands, maybe one or two keys, a ticket, something insubstantial.

I LOVE THE JEAN SACK
When I feel like a hog body I wear the Jean Sack and now I’m a chic little dumpling. When I have a waist I wear the Jean Sack with a belt and heels or wedges and I’m chic and also have a waist. Either way I get lots of compliments. The only thing I don’t understand is why it doesn’t have pockets. If it had pockets it would be the perfect item or clothing. Long live the Jean Sack.

cute dress, confusing back, size down
Like everyone says, the back of this dress is kind of confusing, but you can make it work, I think. However: size down. The torso was too long and the skirt was too wide, making this an awkward fit I had to pass on.

for very small busts
This fit beautifully on my hips but was bizarrely tight on top. My measurements are 35.5/28.5/39, roughly; I'm a 30E in UK bra sizes. I couldn't wear this.

Bizarre material
I thought this was a menswear inspired blazer dress but the material is like what you’d expect of a khaki vest for hunting and camping. The person who said it fit like a life vest was spot on. Just so stiff and awkward and wrinkly — I didn’t end up wearing it.

Tight at waist and hips
I’m between a 4 and a 6 and I probably should have gotten the medium: the waist would close but was very tight, and the hips were more fitted than I think was ideal for the a-line skirt. My measurements are 35.5/28.5/38.5. The bust was fine for me!

Wrinkles easily, long in crotch
I’m between a 4 and a 6 and I got a 6 because I wanted a relaxed fit. The top did have a nice relaxed fit but the crotch was too long. A 4 probably would have fit, but in a form fitting way that doesn’t seem to be what the garment is trying to do? The fabric wrinkles VERY easily too, and the trouser was long like the crotch. So this is probably a good fit for the taller and more slender among us .

Oversize fit wasn’t quite right
It doesn’t exactly run large, but the oversized fit doesn’t flatter. Length might be off? Too short? No waist? Anyway, it was a miss.

Warm and beautiful but doesn’t fit under coat
Gorgeous thick oversized sweater. Works well as an outer layer in cold but not too cold weather. Doesn’t fit under a coat, though.

Top cut out not as chic as it is on the model
On the model, it looks like there's a cool cut-out in the front of the dress. In fact, it's just that the right sleeve is connected to the left strap — so it's a strapless dress, with one sleeve that loops around back. This means that if you move your arm or the dress doesn't fit absolutely perfectly – and the sleeve may not mold properly to your shoulder — you are revealed to be wearing a dress with a detached sleeve. Not quite as chic as it looks in the pictures. The fabric is scuba, or something like it, too: it's flattering, but contributes to the dress feeling a bit basic. Oh well!

Amazing but runs large
Wore it with leather boots and a black sweater and a long black coat for a great winter work look. The sweater helped cover the fit issue -- it's a bit big at the hips, chest, and waist. I've ordered a smaller size to see how that will fit.

Weird fit
On the model, the top panel, shaped like a pentagon, looks long -- so the skirt looks high-waisted. When you wear it it's much less long, so it cuts out a kind of weird diaper shape? It puffs out weirdly -- you can wear it around your hips, but then it's really unflattering, or you can wear it around your waist, and then the panel doesn't coincide well with your hips.

Runs big
I followed the size chart on the brand’s website and it was just a bit loose — I’m 35/28/38 and I think a 2 would have fit better, given that the fabric has some stretch. Looked a bit saggy.

Weird / particular fit
Too loose in the shoulders and on top and tight on the hips — I know it’s supposed to hang a particular way but you probably need an athlete’s shoulders to pull it off

Overall very cute with a turtleneck underneath and a decent fit. Maybe a bit tighter on the hips that would be ideal — my hips are 39".

very cute
Fit well! A bit loose on the waist but that's always the case, isn't it? Overall, very flattering! Works nicely with a black blazer or a turtleneck and coat. My waist is a ~29" and my hips are ~39".
