it lets you walk
Sometimes these tube dresses can be hard to walk in. Sort of a deal breaker. This dress is not like that. The buttons stop high enough and the material has enough stretch that i could take a normal length stride and not trip. There are other good things, the buttons are functional and it nips in at the waist to form a really flattering sihlouette. Definitely considering keeping it. :) Great summer/late summer choice for bumming around or even for something nicer.

Great length and heft!
I agree with other reviewers that the weight of this knit dress is ideal and that is part of why it hangs so nicely. I chose it for an occasion where animal print was the dress code, but it was too much to wear a sweater dress before the weather dipped below 95 degrees! I would definitely have worn it in a colder month, and like other reviewers, I liked the long bell sleeves. and asymmetric cut. The fit in the bust is a little bit tight. That is my only complaint.

Length is a bit short but print and material make up for it!
I love that this dress is cotton, and it is a very soft, inviting cotton. It was snug in the chest and waist for me (I didn't need to wear a bra). That part surprised me because my other Farm Rio dresses run large. I love the bold prints by this brand, and their wonderful choice of colors and florals is always a feast for the eyes. Also, the sleeves were not 'too much', they were puffy without seeming cartoonish.

Bulky but fun
I liked the idea of this coat but for the amount of bulk it creates, it does not offer a ton of warmth. It would be perfect for a special occasion on a day with cold -but not frigid- weather. My main thing was that the bulk bothered me, especially around the lapels since that fold doubles the amount of material. I think a similar coat if it were collarless and a bit less "fluffy" would be perfect. The print of the coat is beautiful and would pair well with a solid or with anything printed on a similar scale! I like the length, too.
