Tight on chest but beautiful look
This dress has a lot of nice design details that feel they were intended to make you feel great. The weight is heavier and substantial but it's not too warm, it makes it feel secure knowing you dont have to worry about breezes. It can be dressed up and down but more dressy than casual. If you run larger in hip area it's still skimming enough to be flattering but when you sit you'll notice a poof in your stomach area. Don't take pictures seated lol.

Never wore, short waist and too billowy but ill-fitting
Never wore. I'm smaller up top and small-chested but all the volume above the waist adds visual weight. Adds lots of fabric at arm pits and chest and neck. Short inseam so if you have a long waist it will hit in the wrong spots and pull even higher with already not much coverage on legs.

Never wore it, adds volume if you want it, otherwise unflattering
I have a long waist and not particularly thin so I have the wrong body type for this. The slight peplum shape does nothing good with high waisted or low waisted jeans if you have hips or butt and the waist is short so it cuts your top half. This would work best on someone straight shaped that likes these effects. Also, quality wise it was flimsy and deflated, like maybe it was at end of life or it was lacking in construction. The straps rolled into straps, the edges roll in, and the top digs into rather than out so doesnt flatter, instead easily looks ill-fitting and sloppy.

Sporty vibe and cool, not necessarily flattering but not unflattering.
Very breathable skirt, flexible but still always on the sporty end. The pockets add weight at the hips but it's flattering enough because of the general A-line shape. Generally liked it, it's the kind of pieces Tibi really does best, a kind of "cool girl" vibe. Best worn with cropped tops since it sits high. The extra reinforcement at top waist button is helpful bc even as someone with a smaller waist, this was tight and I felt it at all times. I wouldn't wear this if I was bloated or needed to eat a full meal.

Nice look. Sizing is tricky on top, adjustments needed
The ribs and chest area has no stretch and is compressing, Im not sure how much sizing up would help but between sizes go with larger unless you have a small rib cage. The cups are large if you are small chested and loose so you need extra tying in the back for support and coverage. Otherwise, it's a great pattern and the pockets are generous and secure so your items dont fall out. You can dress up or down and for heat it's incredibly cooling. Generally flattering once you can adjust.

Best for strong shoulders/thin arms
A bit more transparent than ideal but easy to fix with chemise/tank. The material is soft and the shirt billows rather than giving a structured look. For my proportions, more pear, it just wasn't confidence boosting. Added volume and lots of width everywhere rather than selectively but then didn't have much room in the key places - arms and chest. I'm not large in the chest so I can see that being a problem for many. Especially bc it's rather short in the front already. I can see this working great, but more on a long and slim person.
