It was pretty short. Great if you are young with a flat stomach... not great if you are older and more conservative

I'm not sure if the jacket is overworn but it doesn't have a good shape. The pockets kind of hang down - it looks really cheap.

Not a great fit
The pattern of this dress is very cute. However, it was very tight in the arms and it kind of made me look like I had a baby bump. I would recommend for size 0, 2, 4.... any bigger and I don't think you will be happy with it.

Dress was cute - easy to wear. The only thing that was a bit unexpected for me was that the pearls were bigger that I anticipated.

Awesome coat
I loved this coat so much - I kept it for two months and then ended up buying it. Very cool colors for a dressy winter coat. I constantly got complimented on it.

I liked the design on the front and the color made it go with a lot. The sleeves were kind of an awkward fit and it wasn't very soft.

I had to wear heals and it felt kind of big in the waist. I only wore them once - they didn't do anything for me

Great coat
Wore multiple times over about 6 wks. If I lived in a more moderate climate, it would be worth buying. But its too expensive for the climate where you need very heavy winter coats for most of the winter.

I would actually wore this as a the bottom half of a Snow White costume. But I thought they were very cute and well made. I would definitely wear them again as a fun spring / summer look. I honestly liked them a lot more than I thought I would.

This ran big and really just wasn't anything special. I run between 6 and 8 and chose the larger size would suggest smaller size.

Cute
Cute dress with a good fit (no shapewear needed) but ended up not wearing it because it was so short. I probably could have gotten away with it when I was 10 years younger - but I just didn't feel comfortable.

Beautiful dress but way too big in the chest and I'm a 34C (?) It was very snug in the waist so I doubt that going down a size would have worked.

This looked awful on - it like weirdly smooshed my chest. The crotch was very high and not at all forgiving. It would have been quite uncomfortable.

Wore to an Art Show - which was perfect b/c Art is Truth printed on it.
I really loved the print. Its gorgeous. But I will say that the shape of the dress doesn't do much for a 40+ yr old woman. As others mentioned it definitely needs a belt.

Really cute - I loved this & would def wear again.
Wore it with fitted cropped black pants to a rehearsal dinner. Was dressy without being too much & was appropriately conservative for the occasion.

The bust area is weird -- but my husband thought it looked great tho.
I was uncomfortable in it b/c I just thought the bust fit strange so I ended up no wearing it. Also, the floral blue wasn't really me. I think it would be for some people - it just wasn't my style.

Nice pants - my husband thought thought they were VERY flattering.
Bit snug on the waist - I couldn't have worn them all day to day work in. Wrinkles disappeared when I put them on - which was a HUGE plus :)

Really cute dress - loved the African print. Perfect for a warm weather, fall wedding.
Fit great! Comfortable to wear for many hours and loved the full-er skirt for dancing. Adjustable straps were really great. Given the colors and the design - could really wear this in the summer or fall depending on accessories.
