Not for long torsos
This is a great basic jumpsuit, but if you have a long torso, definitely size up. The knot is stretchy and soft. If it's the right length, I bet it would be super comfy.

From office to holiday party
The stars are a little festive! The dress is really comfortable. I'm usually between a small and medium, and chose the medium based on the reviews about this dress being form fitting. It was perfect!

Just ok
I generally love a shirt dress but this one didn't fit. I think it would be great for an hourglass figure. Unfortunately, I didn't fill out the hip/bottom section so it was strangely poofy. The color is gorgeous though. A really brilliant emerald.

Not a fan
This dress is huge! Size down. Material is a heavy sort of scuba material -- would not recommend for summer.

HUGE!
This is incredibly oversized. While it's not flattering (if you get your actual size), it is light and nice on a hot day.

So comfortable -- doesn't wrinkle
Perfect for travel. This dress doesn't wrinkle! It's super comfortable and flattering even though it has a loose fit.

Stunning Color and Gorgeous Feel
I loved this dress. The fabric is a linen viscose blend so it drapes beautifully and doesn't wrinkle very much. It moves with you! The dress has a ton of fabric and the tie waist doesn't cinch down a ton. That worked fine for me as I'm the opposite of an hourglass, but this may be too much volume for someone petite.

Fun Print
The print garnered a ton of compliments! The dress itself is sort of a silk balloon which is lovely and light and flowy. It does billow around, so if you don't wear the slip it there's a lot of opportunity for showing some bottom! I found that out the hard way. The slip is quite fitted and doesn't have any give. Again, the dress is definitely opaque, but the slip is because the dress rides up.

Cute and comfortable
Such a great retro shift! It's flattering and comfortable with helpful pockets. It's generously cut but not big, and the fabric has a little stretch. It hides flaws very well!

Runs Very Large
This dress arrived new with tags, but I returned it unworn. Typically, I'm between a 4 and a 6, and chose a 4 because that's what was available. It was enormous! I didn't fill out any part of the dress -- I looked like I was wearing a bathrobe. The fabric is a very thick seersucker, so it doesn't drape well. Maybe that will resolve once it's been laundered?

Mod!
I loved this dress! It was comfortable, stylish, and flattering. It's like a period piece from Mad Men. The pockets are terrific and the length is just right. I will definitely rent it again.

Awkward pockets
This dress is so cute on top, but the pockets make it awful. Maybe it's the way the dress is pressed after cleaning, but they stick out in the most unflattering way. It looks like other people had that problem as well.

Structured and Polished
Loved this dress. It hides all the trouble spots but isn't baggy or bulky. The thick fabric looks and feels luxurious. I'll definitely rent it again.

True to Size
Very pretty and very comfortable. Lots of compliments on the color. I wasn't wowed by it, but it was fun to wear something different to work.

SHORT!!!!
As other reviews have noted, this dress is SHORT! So short that I actually had to wear pants with it. Tights weren't good enough. It's really tunic length. I'm only 5'6", so I can't imagine this on anyone taller. Loved the color and the sleeves. It just needed to be longer. It also a knit so it shows a lot of bumps in the chest area.

So cute and flattering
I love this dress -- it's comfortable, it has pockets, and it's very flattering. The tie in front helped give my straight up and down figure some shape. The pattern is fun and it looks good with tights. It's the perfect fall-winter work dress.

Fun Print!
I really love this dress! Being shaped like Spongebob means I've never had a waist, so wrap styles don't work for me. This one, however, is different. Because the top can be buttoned, I didn't have to wrap it very tightly so I could cheat a shape.

Insanely comfortable
This dress is SO comfortable. It's warm and cozy and deliciously soft. It's also oversized, which I thought would make it a chic statement piece, but it's weirdly proportioned. The sleeves hit right before the elbow, so they kind of stick out at the sides. My female colleagues all thought it was great. The one male colleague who commented said, "It looks like you're wearing a basketball shirt."

Good for Hourglass Ladies
This is a great dress with a lot of luxe elements like the heavy rose gold zipper and the truly lovely floral print lining. I wish I could have worn this, but it's really just for hourglass figures. I had the size 3 and it fit somewhat tight in the waist but was huge in the bust and hip.

This one is weird
Without adding a scarf this dress looked like an odd pioneer girl nightgown. I thought the color would be a cooler blue but it's quite warm so it has a hospital gown feel. It's cut very loose through the body but a little narrow at the shoulders. The sleeves are quite long. It doesn't look terrible but without accessories it's sort of frumpy. It's got pockets which is always a plus.

Not for pears
Or maybe just not for me. I found this dress emphasized some unflattering areas at the bottom of my waist. I thought this would be flattering and give me some shape, but it just looked awkward.

Frumpy
It has a weird fit in the chest, so it was loose and unflattering. Maybe someone with a larger bust would look proportional. I love the print and the asymmetrical tab, but I felt it was really frumpy.

So fun!
This dress has a gorgeous print. It drapes in a lovely way in the back. It's also very flattering. I've got a wider rib cage and a lot of dresses are too tight through that area, but not this one. It has a great fit. The fabric is somewhat thin, so I'm not sure what season this would be best for.

Lots of Compliments
I didn't expect the number of compliments I got on this dress! I wore it work, and it was really comfortable. It's light and breezy, and comes with a slip so nothing shows through. I liked it a lot, but it's definitely a warm weather piece.

So huge
This coat was enormous. I sized down based on the reviews, but even so, it was like a swimming pool. I think it would have worked on someone taller, but on me, I just looked like a dumpy kid.

Fit is flattering and forgiving
This is a nice quality dress -- it fit nicely and was made of expensive-feeling fabric. The top is blousy and loose while the bottom is fitted. Happily, the fabric on the bottom is thick so nothing shows through. I didn't end up loving the buttons on the sleeves -- kinda felt like a matador -- but overall, it looked nice.

Kinda Cheap
I was super excited about this dress, but it felt really cheap and thin. As other reviews have mentioned, it's cut very close, so it's a bodycon style. It looked like a sausage casing on me.

Didn't make it out of the house
It's a pretty glamorous dress but thinner than I anticipated. It definitely could be better with shapewear. I'm not very busty but the neckline was too low to make this work for the office.
