As comfy as PJs, as flattering as PJs - couldn’t wear them outside the house.

Uncomfortable knot on your back
This looks great on but I was constantly aware of that knot on my back. So it’s not particularly comfortable. Also, it has a grey tinge to the color. Not a bad thing but I don’t think that’s obvious from the picture.

Love!
It was too small for me. Such a pity. It was too tight for me to wear out but nevertheless I could tell it was easy to wear and so very striking.

This was so small I couldn’t get it on sufficiently to give it any other assessment.

Nightie?
The green on this dress is insipid. And the dress just hangs. Between the two I could only think of a nightdress.

I think this has been through the dry cleaner too offer. It’s the worse for wear. Also quite small. Size up. No compliments

I kept it for 2 months!
Love it? Pull it on and go- brunch, work, baby shower… Always compliments. It’s stretchy and comfortable. At a different price point I would have bought it.

Love,, love love
This is a workhorse holiday dress, if workhorse doesn’t sound dowdy. I wore it to company parties, evenings with the neighbours, Christmas Day and others. Always I received compliments. Always I was very comfortable. I seriously thought of buying it but realized I’d wear it for the exact same events next year (when I will want something new). Enjoy this super dress

Controversial!
I wore this to a Christmas party and it was a topic of conversation- but for the wrong reasons! Eveyone wanted to know what it was made of, saying it had a funny texture and the horizontal patterning gave it an “unusual” look! On the plus side, it’s a lovely vibrant red for the holidays.

Versatile!
I loved this dress. It got me though many holiday events and even everyday errands. So easy to wear. Many compliments. I seriously thought about buying it but I think it’s actually 1/2 size too big for perfection. It’s a dress you can enjoy in many occasions.

Meh!
It’s a light weight black and white sweater easy to wear. But there’s nothing luxe about it. I don’t understand the retail price point.

What you see is what you get
Boxy, modern. Good with jeans. But those sleeves are full- they don’t easily fit under all coats.

Great for the apres ski party I rented it for, but it’s not actually comfortable or cozy. Quite heavy and tight. Rich shades of brown on the decoration.

Gosh, who finds this flattering?
I went to re read the reviews. This is a disappointing dress. Very long on a shorter girl; the belt is a constant irritation as it slides continuously; and the puff sleeves are overpowering I was just lost in fabric

I loved it, no one else did
So fun. Flirty. Sparkly. Went out for dinner and drinks. Plenty of room for a heavy meal. But not one friend commented on it. In my experience that typically means they don’t like something.

I bought it!
Easy to wear. Comfortable for all day sitting at a conference, but stylish enough for desk to dinner. Several compliments. A little more fun than average corporate wear but still acceptable for a conservative workplace.

First time I've really not liked a dress
Very Maid Marion-Ish. Could almost be a costume. Fabric didn't feel as expensive as the price suggests. Adds pounds to your hips if you're a short girl

I bought it!
I bought it for a casino-by-the-pool event. It was perfect. Then by changing from espadrilles to sneakers to heels, I've also worn it to a garden party and Girls Night Out. It works everywhere. It's easy and comfortable. I bought it

The ruffle around the neckline is uncomfortable and distracting. Ultimately, I couldn't wear it for long.

I couldn't wear this. Maybe it was the boning. Maybe it was a tadge too small but really it was too constricing for an entire evening.
