Order one size up
Super cute and wish I could have worn it, but too tight in bust. A size up would have been perfect!

Not great for apple shaped ladies; turned me into a potato!
Extremely unflattering. Fit in bust, but the tie hit at a weird place above my hips but not quite at waist and was super tight. Made me look like a potato! Not a true wrap tie; more like a wide bow - looked sloppy on my short frame. This would look best on someone taller & leaner. On the fence about the crepe fabric. The tiny pearl snap buttons are pretty, but the buttons, higher crew-shaped neck & crepe fabric make it almost too formal to style with jeans which is what I wanted to wear.

Underwhelming pattern and color scheme. Made me look like a linebacker!
Fit tts in the waist, but the cut of the top made me look like my shoulders were 2x as wide. The color palette is way more muted than the photo and the pattern is meh at best. Maybe it's my skin tone? I think the colors look super flattering on other members! Just made me look heavier up top and the grandma pattern/colors didn't help.

Super comfy and great for hot days
Love this dress! True to size, super comfy and wrap tie is flattering at the waist. Nice that it isn't a true wrap dress; the wind won't show everybody your business! Busy pattern does a nice job of hiding imperfections. The lightweight fabric is perfect for the heat. Hit me right at the knee, but I could see how it might be short for taller ladies.

Super cute, almost looks like a wrap dress!
LOVED this romper. It doesn't ride up, the shorts are flowy and color and print is so pretty. Perfect for a hot day. Will probably rent again and buy it this time! I honestly thought it looked more like a wrap dress. As other members have noted, the top isn't attached to the shorts in the front, but you can kind of tie the front in place with the belt. I wore a navy cami underneath just to be sure I didn't show any skin in the office, but it was never an issue.

Steer clear if you have a full chest
I usually wear a 10 and the XL in this dress was way too tight in the bust and baggy in the waist (I'm straight through waist and hips). The sleeves are ridiculously huge and overwhelmed my short frame. The dress is well-made; nice lining and the color is beautiful.

Awesome color, flattering cut. R length might be too long if you're under 5'3 & want a cropped look
Loved the color, super high-rise and heavy, duck canvas fabric. I'm generally too short for regular length pants, so I knew they wouldn't hit *above* the ankle as shown in the model's photo. The regulars were about ankle length on me (I'm 5'3" with a 28" inseam). Wore to the office on casual Friday and it was a nice change from my usual skinny jeans.

Cute, but made me look super top-heavy
I wanted to love this dress, but it was just ok. The top fits a full bust and wasn't tight, but I looked like I had a uniboob. The smocked waist sits really high, almost directly underneath the bust, and that added to the fullness. Paired with the high neckline, the dress basically made me look 10 lbs heavier up top. I tried refining the silhouette with a wide belt, but couldn't get it to work.

Super cute, but runs small esp if you're busty. Size up, for sure!
Love the cut, color and stretchy heavier cotton fabric, but definitely runs small. Couldn't get it zipped up past my waist. I'm usually a 10, but definitely needed a 12 or 14! Definitely size up if you have a large bust.
