Cool
I added a belt to define waist. Maybe runs a little large- fit my chest/shoulders but was large around the waist so looked boxy without a belt. Very cool look and comfortable.

Cute
A little tight across the chest, but cute and comfortable. Sleeves were not too long.

Quality dress, comfortable.
The shoulders, back, chest areas were kind of loose on me compared to the hips even though I usually find clothing to be too tight on my upper body first but that's just the design of the garment. I wore a black tank underneath to mitigate. The fabric is fully opaque and has 2 layers so it's conservative less the deep V's and short length.

Great fabric, comfortable, weird waist elastic band
This dress (shirt for tall people) was comfortable and cute. Light breathable fabric. The sewn in elastic waistband is placed oddly. It's too high to be a drop waist look but too low to be a natural waist look. I just rolled the elastic over the fabric to put it at my natural waist, and wore with leggings because that made it super short.

Light and cool for summer.
I wore this to work. It's long enough to wear without leggings (I'm 5-8 with a long torso so dresses in length fit me like a 6' person and I pretty much consider dresses long tops). It's 2 layers, comes with a white comfy stretchy underdress and then the sheer-ish top. I wore this on a ridiculously humid hot day where I had to be outside and it's very breathable and looked as good at the end of the day as it did in the morning (unlike my melted hair and make up). It also has pockets, which is a plus, but because the fabric is so thin I didn't feel like I could stuff my phone, keys, and wallet into the pockets without it looking stupid.

Nice fabric, got compliments even though the fit seems weird
It had a weird low waist/hip band that I felt sat in an unflattering place. The wrist buttons were uncomfortably tight on me so I just wore them unbuttoned. I wore it with leggings to work. The fabric is light and comfortable. Even though I didn't think it was flattering, I got several compliments from people who have no reason to compliment me.

Great light fabric for summer
It's a little short to be a work dress for me (5-8) but with leggings was great. The fabric was super light feeling but still looked professional. Fit was tighter in the hips than upper body on me even though usually things fit me pretty evenly.

Bends easily to fit your wrist but also bends easily while you are wearing it

Cute but hard to clasp and kind of heavy to wear all day
These looked great but the part that goes through your ear is really short and the clasp was hard to close. I wore them for a long day and my ears hurt by the end, but that's to be expected with big earrings.

Tight through chest
I wore it and it looked good but no stretch and fit uncomfortably tight in the chest / arms even though I'm 36b and size larges are usually comfortable on me. The fabric is lightweight, good for warm weather. And long enough for a tall person to wear as a dress to work.
Parachute Dress

comfortable fit, looks professional
Fit very comfortably, loose and slight stretch but not bag-like. Too short for work without leggings for me (5-8 with long torso)
