Back crop top
I found it very hard to see in the photos that this top is essentially a crop top from behind. Not a look I wanted.

Incredibly small!!!
The sizing is so off on this. Its the smallest xxl I’ve seen. I’m generally a size 14 these days so I was shocked at how small this was.

Interesting hemline
Fit was fine but the hemline made its professionalism questionable.

Bold pattern, lined
With the lining this dress is heavier than expected. Too heavy for the tropics. Fun style and print. But the top flap thing kept blowing into my face in the wind which was also annoying. But pretty.

Fantastic and flattering
Fantastic flattering dress. Got it for vacation but wore it to a holiday party before we left too. Light fabric but long sleeves was awesome for photos in the tropics. Cinched waist was ultra flattering.

Such a pretty dress. Received many compliments. But the sleeves nearly covered my fingers so I had to fold them up.

VERY short.
I rented this seeing it look short on the model, but knowing I am pretty short. But this dress hardly covers my behind. I will need to wear it as leggings for it to be decent at a work function. I'm only 5'3" so for anyone taller it will be even more of a challenge. This listing also needs to guide on the sizing. I can usually go with an XL but this dress ended up being more snug that the other XLs in my refresh box. The color is really beautiful. If it was longer I would have really loved it.

This dress is draped really beautifully
Pictures do not to it justice because of the color but this is a stunning dress that is beautiful - but not in an overdone way or attention grabbing. I found it perfect for my event. I'm short and even the petite was pretty long on me with 3" heels but not terrible. The neck stayed really secure thanks to all the boning in the bodice. Never once had to pull it up. And I loved the arm coverage. There was NO cleavage which made it perfect for a business event. Got tons of compliments and would wear again.

Great color and trendy lace
The color is really lovely. I got tons of compliments. The lace looks really nice and the length was fairly modest - but ma be a but short for some people. My complaint was the top half of this dress. The top is a bit low cut for us busty gals but the odd seam/decoration things in the front were kinda frumpy. It must be intentional, but this dress ends up looking old on top. Would not be my first choice, but I did get many compliments on it.

Didn't get to wear this one. :( Small arm holes.
The arms were super small on me and were not going to be comfortable. This is a thicker style lace and not stretchy. Very pretty color.

So classy!
I described the fit as true to size but - the hips run big and the bust is small. Go figure. I had a ton of room in the belly (which never happens with my shape) and hips but my poor boobs were kinda squished. The darts in the bust seemed oddly positioned to me. But, this dress was lovely. I think the color is darker than it looks on the model which worked perfectly for my event. The fabric is heavy and draped really well. I got compliments all night without feeling like I was drawing attention - if that makes sense. Some people had commented on the length but that was not an issue for me. I actually wore lower heels than planned since it wasn't as long as I expected. Very happy with this dress choice!

Wow!
This dress is a stunner. The fabric is amazing and thick enough to hold everything and not leave any lumps or bumps. It was longer on me than I had expected which was a good thing. I love this dress and would love to find another reason to rent it in the future. A little too 'hot' for most of the events I rent dresses for. But what a great party dress.

Cute dress but couldn't wear it.
The color of this dress is a bit more muted in person than it looks online which was a plus. It is a heavy fabric so keep that in mind for outdoor events. It was also much shorter than I expected it to be. I rented a dress earlier this year that appeared shorter online but was longer in person. I'm bummed this dress didn't fit. There was not any stretch to the fabric. Sadly I'm on west coast time so I got this dress a half hour after the NY office closed and won't have time for a replacement. Boo. :(

I actually decided not the wear this dress as it wasn't super flattering.
It was also oddly hot. It must be the material. But very flattering in the bust.
