comfy, fun, flattering for a sweater dress
I wear a 6 and a medium was a comfortable. I work at a casual start-up and I wore this to work. I like the pattern. It's a bit short, but I have long legs.

Comfortable, easy to wear, but elegant dress for fall wedding!
I was happy to stumble on this dress. It was easy to wear since I could wear a regular bra with it. The V in front was deep enough to look polished and formal, but not so revealing a needed a special bra. I liked that it's a bit short, especially in the front, since I am not a tall person and do not like super high heels, so I could have a long dress that wasn't too long with moderate high heels. I got lots of compliments and dressed it up for a black tie wedding with fun jewelry. It's big though - the size I normally wear in dresses made it look sloppy. Definitely size down. The top is stretchy, thick and forgiving. If it's big it looks like a sweatshirt on top.

Extremely Comfortable
Extremely comfortable! It kind of felt like I was wearing PJs all day, but I felt very put together. Perfect level of informality for my casual, start-up work environment. When I ordered this I worried it would look like a maternity dress, but it was flattering And draped well.

No Go
The chest opening was quite large on me, so it did a laughable job of covering my bra. The shoulders fit oddly. It was a bit pilled (flannel) from previous wearers. Didn't like it at all. No regrets sending it back. The length of the skirt was good. Could have gotten away with it at work (casual start up) if it weren't for the fact the chest and shoulders did not fit.

Beautiful Dress with Swishy Skirt
I sized up, so the dress was longer than on the model and was more midi length. I loved this! The skirt is full and tiered, and I felt graceful and lovely walking around in it. I have a large bust, but I had no problem with the neckline. It was deep, but cut in a way that was work appropriate. The snap stayed shut. Maybe size up if you're large chested? It worked out well for me!

Light as Air
It fit beautifully and draped so well, but I wore it on a windy day, and I was constantly afraid of being exposed. I didn't find it to be too short, but if it's windy the material just floats away. I was totally comfortable wearing it to my casual start up. It's so light It feels like your wearing nothing. I won't rent it again though. I'm not an asymmetrical hem person, and I was scarred by the blowing of the skirt in the wind.

Not What I Expected
It fit well, but it was way dressier than I expected for some reason, and that's my fault for not looking closely. The waist is actually see through to your skin. I thought it was a belt. The front gaps a lot even though it's loose so you could see into my chest. I thought about keeping it and wearing it with a cami underneath, but it was just too dressy and not worth it.

Cute, casual jumpsuit!
I guess I'm somewhere between a medium and a small, but I usually size up when ordering. A medium was big on me. It fit me bigger than the model. If/when I order this again I'd get a small. I loved this jumpsuit. I work in a casual start up, so it was perfect level of formality for my work. I got numerous compliments from all types of people. I plan on hanging on to it to wear out this weekend. It drapes beautifully. The fabric does wrinkle so I wouldn't pack it to bring on a trip.
