Fun and easy to wear
Fun pattern, snug fit but super stretchy so it was easy to wear. Can't wait to try more Fuzzi.

Fun and colorful
Really enjoyed this top. Fun colors and pattern. Easy to wear. It is cotton, and a slightly stiffer fabric - I thought it would be a bit silkier. Puff sleeves at the wrist are fun. The length was a little short, but I'm 5'8".

Great fun sweater
Nice upgrade to the basic black sweater. Enjoyed the red accent sleeves, and mock neck was flattering. Paired with black pants and felt dressed up for a normal day of zoom calls.

Nice casual dress - liked the fabric and print
A bit short for work, so I paired it with some black leggings. The fabric draped nicely and I liked the pattern. The elastic waist was pretty plain and didn't provide enough cinching to show off my waist. I needed to find a wide black belt like others have done.

casual
As others mentioned, the fabric is different! Nylon windbreaker. I enjoyed the longer length, the pockets and waist was elastic and form fitting. It ran a little big - I'm normally a 6 in dresses and the 4 in this style was still quite roomy, and I may have been able to size down to a 2. Overall a fun everyday dress that can go from casual with tennis shoes to a dinner out with sandals.

runs short, fabric is stiff
I'm 5'8" and found this to be way too short for work. The fabric was a bit stiff and didn't hang well. The neckline was high and boring.

Great color, mediocre fit
I loved the bright green color. Great jewel tone. The dress just didn't fit my body very well. Too loose through the torso so made me look bigger. The seams running under the bust were a little odd and didn't fall in the right place on my body.

Fun and comfortable dress
I really enjoyed wearing this dress. The fabric was very nice - great weight. The length was perfect for work and the slightly longer back made it fun. I work in the environmental space so having large bugs in the pattern worked for me. The detail on the sleeves gave it some flair. The sash enabled a more fitted look. I really enjoyed wearing this dress!

Runs small and is very short
I sized up from my normal 6 to an 8 and I could have gone up to a 10! I'm 5'8" and found it to be very short. Fine while standing, just don't bend down or lean over! Neck goes very high with a little ruffle at the top of the collar. Fabric was really nice and lined. Pockets! Overall a very fun and cute dress, just wish it was 3"+ longer.

Runs big and is brown
Runs big so I sized down from my normal 6 to a 4 and it was still roomy. Overall fit was good. Collar comes up kind of high in the back. Belt tie was fine. Color is definitely brown even though it looks more black-brown in the pictures.

I didn't end up wearing as the waist was really tight and then the legs flared out. Fabric was thin. Looked cute in pictures but didn't work for me.

Fun and easy
Ran small so I ordered up one size and was so glad I did! At 5'8", the 6 would have been much too short. The 8 fit great. Fun for a birthday afternoon stroll through the city, and a friends summer dinner on the deck. Pockets! and the belt fit just fine. Gaped at the chest so did have to pin it.

Ok summer dress
Ties at the shoulder are very long and tricky to tie in the right place. Waist is a bit big and frumpy. Pros: Side slit is helpful to make it more fun. Pockets! Fabric is nice and it's lined. Great weight for summer. Overall: Ok dress. Worked for one night but wouldn't rent again.

Loved this dress!
Fit like a glove. Got so many compliments. Wore for a black-tie summer party, so added bright pink earrings and bracelet for a pop of color against the navy. Ruffle was fun and added a nice element.

Loved this dress - wore for my birthday dinner. I'm a 6 but wore the 4 and it was snug in the chest - couldn't wear my strapless bra but didn't need it. Fabric was great - fun and flowy

Beautiful dress
Beautiful fabric and colors. The pockets were great and I was able to hold phones for 2 friends and they were very hidden by the very full skirt. Runs large! I'm a 6 and it was way too large. The back-up 4 fit perfectly. The straight top was not flattering for my body, so I gave it a few stitches to create a sweetheart neckline and that looked much better. Great for a summer black-tie event.

Fabulous and fun to wear!
Perfect dress for black tie event at the Zoo. The peacock print and metallic fabric was glamorous. So fun to dance in. Dress fit like a glove through the waist and rib cage, with ruching in the midsection to cover any belly and leave room to eat a great meal. The chest area was large but I could wear a regular strapless bra to fill it out. Wore 1" block heels and the length was perfect. Overall I loved this dress and got lots of complements.

Cute
A fun casual dress for everyday. A bit tight in the bust and a little bit of a low slit in front, so anyone taller than you will likely be able to see your bra. Fun style and easy to wear.

Fit great. It has a deep v cut so you need a low cut black bra. Loved the sparkle in the fabric but the dress was very heavy and I got hot during the evening.

Great dress!
I rented this for a work conference and wore it with tall black boots. Loved it - a nice heavy weight fabric and fit really well. I'm normally a size 6 (and sometimes a 4), but sized up to an 8 and was very comfortable. I also wore it on a ski vacation to Aspen and felt dressed up for dinner.

Rented this for a ski vacation to Aspen and was trying to find a cute Apres-ski outfit. It was a fine turtleneck, kind of thin fabric, not very fitted in torso. Nothing special.

I sized down to a 2 since it was a flowy top. But the 2 was very short, the neckline didn't sit well and the armholes were really tight.

runs large
It was ok. The overall fit was huge, I should have sized down to XS. The crossover cut very low and the slip was positioned quite low. If I had gone out in public, I would have pinned it or worn a cami. The stripes looked blurry on my zoom calls. Not flattering.

Old lady capri pants
They look like pants my 70 yr old mom would wear! No pockets, capri length. Ugh, they were awful. And I sized up to an 8 based on reviews and I was swimming in them.

Casual elegance
I'd been struggling to find a casual yet sophisticated look for a summer outside dinner, not too dressy, not too casual. This dress was exactly what I was looking for! Tailored and form fitting, pockets, great neutral color - I felt great wearing it. I sized down to a 4, and just ordered the 6 and it fits better. Still tight in the waist and lower rib cage.

Love!
I love the color, the smooth leather is very stylish, back pocket perfect for my phone, magnet closure is very strong, loved the dual strap - crossbody or short. It's small - great for a date night and traveling light. Not good for sunglasses cases or other bulky items. I'm seriously planning to buy this one!

Different style than my normal
Shoulders are a bit boxy. I liked tying it in the back better for a smooth front side. When tying in the front there was too much fabric plus the sash.

Didn't wear it.
very low back, so can't wear a bra. The 'girls' looked like they were down to my waist, and it's summer so my bathing suit tan lines on my back looked ridiculous with this dress. The waist was very tight, and the hips very full. Very unflattering for me.
