Not great if you have a large chest

Lots of compliments
Great elevated daytime look. Wore it for a "afternoon tea" work event, got lots of compliments. The chest line is low for work, I was able to close it with some double sided tape and a pin; because of the cut you don't notice the adjustment at all.

Easy to wear, work or weekend dress
Fit well, the knot for me landed perfectly under my bust creating a nice shape. For those with slightly bigger arms the sleeves circumference was a bit snug but still very wearable.

Perfect work dress
Easy to wear, fits true to size. Only downside is it doesn't have pockets.

Got lots of compliments. Not too dressy not too casual. Shine to the dress is just the right amount
Buttons slightly pulled at the chest, but not too noticeable with it being all black.

Great billowy, but scratchy
Loved the loose fit, easy to toss on with any outfit. However, the fabric is scratchy. Personally I didn't like wearing without something under.

Hugged curves perfectly
Magically, the waistline hit perfectly at the smallest part of my waist. Very flattering.

Intentionally wore backwards
Great color, many compliments. As someone larger with curves, wearing to backwards provided some interest/details if needed. Otherwise it's too much fabric just covering you up.

Use the drawstring at the waist!
Comfortable and easy to wear. Has pockets too. The cut of the dress is rectangular, however it has a great drawstring that on my was hip level. I lifted the drawstring to my natural waist and tightened, this billowed the top of the dress and snitched the waist making all the difference. Instantly flattering. Even with “shortening” the dress in this way, it was still mid-length/below the knee perfect for work.

Short and slightly itchy
The crop is high. Even with high waisted jeans it it showed my midriff. Fabric is not the best. After a few hours it felt irritating and itchy, so I ended up changing.

Flattering and different
Received many compliments. Versatile enough to wear to work, a non-formal event, or everyday casual. It is slightly cropped but with high waisted jeans has no midriff. The material is thick and stretchy, but not clingy. Weird fabric but very forgiving and flattering.

Larger boobs, felt the pull on my neck
Wanted to love this. The fit was overall good, but because of where the seam fell on instead of under my chest, after wearing it for a long day I felt a pull on my neck. Wore it a few times and this occurred even if I didn’t use the pockets. Curious if this would have happened if I sized up, but the fit otherwise felt right.

Good, but don’t expect a wrap dress
Overall the dress was good, but required wearing a shirt underneath to cover cleavage. It’s styled as a wrap dress, but everything is sewn into place with a zipper in the back. Don’t expect to be able to adjust the fall of the plunge.

Arms were tight
The arms are a bit tight if your arms aren’t a standard proportional diameter. Could have made it work but would have been uncomfortable. Did not wear.

Easy to wear work dress
Easy to wear work staple but with some additional interest to it. Good thicker material. The waist doesn’t snitch in, so I found adding a belt a bit more flattering. It was on sale for under $40, I didn’t hesitate to purchase it.

Not a work dress
Got this for work, but the fabric really isn’t office attire (more of a durable heavy use fabric then office polished look). Ended up wearing it as a quick option for errands. It’s easy to throw on and wear. However, if you put anything with weight in the pockets it pulls on the neck and isn’t comfortable.

Too big and bright
I sized down and it was still too big. The color was also more vibrant and hot pink then I expected. Did not wear.

Poor fit, didn’t wear
Got this as a second option for a gala, did not end up wearing it. The chest was tight but could work without a bra. But the cut for the arm hole on the side with the strap felt too high and the fabric rough against my skin. I was afraid it would rub and be irritating all night. Too uncomfortable to attempt. On a different portioned person, it would be a nice option.

Good enough for a work gala
My preferred size wasn’t available so it was slightly large, but not so much so that anyone else noticed. Material is slightly scratchy up too where there is no liner, but not distractingly so if your busy with other things. It was good enough my work event needs, but it didn’t make me feel like my best self.

Love!
So many compliments, my mother heavily encouraged my to purchase it. Definitely will rent again. Wore it multiple times for events and every day. Being larger chested it was a bit tight when putting on and taking off due to the elastic ban. But once on it fit great and was comfortable to wear all day. My second time wearing it I realized it has pockets! They match the seams of the dress perfectly in a way that adds no bulk at all when using the pockets.

Runs small and awkward top
Very tight in the bust, wouldn’t recommend if you have a larger chest. The cut of the cup on the strapless side was oddly shaped and the draping did not lay well.
