Chef's kiss
Such a perfect little summer frock. The eyelet is really pretty. Forgiving around the stomach area with the cinched waist + flowy skirt. Top is conservative-ish due to the collar + sleeves, so it's more of a day time or casual night time dress.

Cute enough
It was cute enough. I ordered with the matching skirt. Usually a size small, so got that in both. Shirt fits fine, skirt is TINY. So I was left with just the shirt, it was fine with white jeans. I wouldn't see it out again thought.

A little under whelming
It's cute but... the bag has no structure. So it just kind of a floppy little thing. The ruffles don't stand out quite as much as you'd expect from the picture.

Summer dress perfection
Very flattering cut on top, the stretchy ruched back makes it fit so nicely. It’s light and airy, even though it’s long. All around great summer dress.

This dress travels beautifully and wears all day with no wrinkles. Was perfect for an offsite work meeting with clients present. Polished but not too serious. Could be worn with mules to be more fancy or cool sneakers to dress it down.

It's cute but just okay
Its a really fancy cover up or kind of a weird dress, I put a black slip under it... It was cute but just okay. Also VERY hot material.

Cute!
The shoulders are a little narrow but otherwise cute! Very easy way to elevate a pair of jeans + white tee.

Short for a 5’5” girlie
This fit is weird. I sized up to a 6 when I’m usually and reliably a 4, but even in a bigger size… this thing is so short. Noway I could wear it anywhere. If I went any bigger, the top would be too big and gaping. I sent it back without ever wearing.

Casual cool work piece
I love this blazer and as much as I wish I was, I am not a blazer person. The texture of the blazer and the white buttons help dress this down. Perfect for spring. Wore with a white tee and white wide leg jeans for a casual work day. Sleeves were slightly short on me but not too annoying or noticeable.

Cute!
Not for bustier ladies, the button right at my chest was pulling open, so I wore it open over a white tee. It’s also a little hot. But overall super cute yet pulled together looking.

Very flattering cut because of the plunging neckline, cinched waist line and full belly coverage. Versatile piece depending on what you pair it with! Thinking about buying it.

These are so fun and versatile - the detail is gorgeous and they go with so much. A statement, but not too much or too large.

Easy and beautiful
I wore this for a black tie wedding, despite it being short, it's quite fancy with the embroidered fabric. I was able to wear not wear a bra with this and I have a large chest (34DD). The ruffles are nice because you don't feel like you have to suck in the whole time, but they don't make you look large (which I was concerned about).

Beautiful material, but weird fit in the top
The dress is beautiful, the fabric really makes it feel fancy. But the way the top is tailored/cut in the top is really strange - I have a larger chest and this made my boobs look super pointy, because it's clearly cut for a smaller chested woman.

Elle Woods!
Great fit! The material is great because it doesn't wrinkle. The top is a bit low cut, but you can kind of get more coverage by tying the knot higher up - I have a pretty large chest and was definitely showing some skin.

Fit at 37 weeks!
SO relieved to find a dress for a holiday party when super pregnant!! I reliably wear a size 4, and given the fact that I'm 37 weeks pregnant, I did have to size up. But the fabric is super forgiving and the dress is really cute. I fit into the 4, but the seam on the side looked funky, so I'd recommend sizing up if you're later in you're third trimester. Earlier on, unless your bump is big, I would assume your regular size would fit.

Great dress but definitely tight fit
So this dress looks awesome, the detailing is really unique and the mesh makes it sexy, it's cool how the mesh makes it kind of a midi. I couldn't wear a bra with it, there was no room. I am almost always a size 4 and, man, was this tight. I wore it because I had no choice in size but maybe a 6 could have been better. I think my rib cage is somewhat larger than usual, but that area in particular was super tight for me.

Great color, very curve friendly
I'm pretty sure I wore a 4 and it fit perfectly and that's the size I wear in almost everything. The color was perfect, somewhere between being neutral and pink. The one strap made it super comfortable. This thing definitely makes you look curvy. The material is nice and thick, but not hot, and helps keep everything smooth. Lots of compliments on this one!

Bold yet neutral
I love that these are a statement but they're neutral at the same time. They're a bit heavy, so if you're sensitive to that or have small earlobes these could be a challenge to keep on all night.

Class class class
The dress ran a tiny bit small, I wore the 6 and I'm normally a 4 in almost everything. It was also brand new, tags still on, so maybe the brand runs small, but other things from the brand I've worn were more stretched out. Anyway, this hugged my curves in the best way possible. It stayed up pretty well, given that I have a larger chest, nothing strapless ever stays up perfectly. I'm 5'5" and it hit me somewhere on my lower to mid calf. Highly recommend for a wedding.

The color and material make this perfect!
This fit true to size, I usually wear a size 4. The material is great, it's thicker so smoothed out imperfections but not so thick that it's hot. The skirt cupcakes out the right amount, even on a short person. The color definitely has more green in it than the picture, but it's gorgeous and totally pops.

This dress is not as great as it looks
It's TINY. I wear a 4 usually, and sometimes even a 2. I couldn't even zip the 6. The area around the rib cage is particularly tiny. The shoulder straps barely stay up. The bust is super exposed. The texture is more like an old drapery or lace table cloth than a high end dress - maybe the dress I had was just really worn. I can't imagine this dress being flattering on anyone who is remotely curvy or short for that matter, ie good for someone 130 lbs and 6 ft tall.

This dress is pretty conservative and little tight, but the print is beautiful!
If you don't have a small chest/rib cage area - this is going to be TIGHT. The arm holes were also a little small, as well, I couldn't fully lift my arms up. The material of the dress is hot as h*ll, so if you are going to be in a church with no AC or outside for cocktails/ hors d'oeuvres in the summer, I would honestly suggest another dress. I did not find that this runs big at all, but maybe, like I said I don' t have a tiny upper body. However, it's not all negative... The print is really beautiful, but not as shiny as it appears on the model, the fit of the skirt is nice and tulip like. It has pockets, which is always fun. I think this would work better for an indoor event, and maybe not a wedding because of the restrictiveness of the dress - limits dance moves and limbo capabilities.

So much fancier than the picture! The color makes you look tan, and the cut is super flattering.
I wore a 4, which is my normal size and it was perfect. Contrary to the other reviews, I definitely did not need to size down. The material is thick which is nice because it helps smooth out any imperfections. You can wear a regular bra, which is a real blessing when you have big boobs. Also, because it's so tailored it's a little right through the thighs, so dance moves and bending over were a slightly limited, but nothing you can't deal with. It's pretty long (to my knees) and conservative, which is definitely what I was going for at a black tie wedding. The dress is much fancier than the picture, it has beautiful metallic stitching around all the flowers, and like others said it's definitely more of a peachy orange/ neon color.
