Elastic waist was too large
It was a little loose when I put it on, and I thought it would be OK, but by the end of the day it was falling down. I had ordered an 18 some time ago and never wore it and since I had gained weight thought I would get the 20. Definitely a mistake - would size down a bit because ultimately this is stretchy material with an elastic band. The skirt is really cute though!

Comfortable AND Compliments
This was a great dress. I love fake wrap dresses. The collar on this gives it a little something extra. I wore it several times and felt great in it.

Very comfortable, plain black dress
I was worried it looked like pajamas because it felt as comfortable as pajamas. My co-worker claims it looked good! I wore it twice. The sleeves and bottom give it a nice addition to being just a plain dress.

Nice color, interesting design
The top has an interesting design, which is nice, but the top was way too large for me. I wore a light cardigan over it and I think it was fine for work. So, the chest and arm holes were too big - but not so big that it wasn't acceptable with the cardigan.

Pretty dress - needed cardigan.
Wore my normal size for Badgley Mischka dresses, but this one was a little big on time, particularly for arm holes. Ended up only wearing it to church with a cardigan. Not sure if I would have worn it too work, just because it seemed a little too big on top. Such a pretty, feminine color.

Black with blue and sparkles
It doesn't look like anything special in this picture - but I thought it was nice in person. Comfortable and great elastic waistline - but even though it says it's sweater material, I was expecting a basic black pleated skirt - and this was much better than that! There is an underlying blue color to the black and the sparkles make it much more interesting. Nothing spectacular but definitely a step up from a basic black skirt.

A little too short for me
I don't have a particularly long torso, but it was a little too short for me so I didn't wear it.

Cute, but too short for me
I didn't end up being able to wear this. It's a cute shirt, but didn't work. I had the size L, which I felt was a little small for a Large size top, but that is my opinion. I may have not done a good job at understanding the description of the top, I don't know, but it was much shorter than I had expected or than I would be able to wear. My torso is pretty average, definitely not a long torso. I have some wrap dresses that work well at hiding the little bit of fat stomach I have, but this top wasn't long enough. I am accustomed to the "belt" of a wrap dress being more belly button level and this belt hit me more like right below my ribs. So, if you're shorter and thinner than me, I think it would be great!

Comfortable, lots of compliments
I usually order Size 10 with 12 as backup, but end up wearing the 10. This time, the 10 was too big and I had to have an 8 overnighted. I had read it ran big but since I thought I was usually on the cusp of 10/12 that that would be fine. So definitely order down a size! The material was soft and the dress was comfortable. I had quite a few compliments on the dress. I'm generally pretty sensitive to how my stomach looks since it never went back to my pre-kids stomach, but there were no issues in this dress! A few wrinkles at the bottom based on the material that couldn't be steamed out, probably not noticeable to anyone but me.

Perfect fit, Great Color, Loved the lace
Wore this for my child's First Communion at church. It fit perfectly. My post-children stomach area is my trouble spot, so I have to look for a dress that will be big enough to cover that up but not too big on top. This dress was perfect because it was fitted up top and slightly at the waist but the stomach/hips area were flowy so my stomach didn't look bad. The pictures don't do the lace justice. In person it looks really lacy and delicate. If I were taller than 5'7" it may have started to feel a little shorter than I am comfortable with, but that may be a personal thing. For me, the length was perfect.
