Vegas appropriate
While my picture makes the dress appear to fall just above the knee I think it's just the angle in which I was leaning forward because the dress is actually mid thigh and much shorter than it appears. I'm 5'1" and I thought it was a good length for Vegas on my height. I wore the medium and had plenty of room and was comfortable all night. I'm sure I could have worn the small and I'm assuming it would have hugged me so I'm going to say it runs between true to size to slightly on the big side as I'm typically a solid 6 in a dress and 4/6 in pants. All in all it was a great dress and had tons of compliments all night.

Awesome dress
This dress is amazing. Thick quality fabric. Very flattering. It was a touch big however true to size as I'm typically between a size 4 & 6 dress. Highly recommend.

Comfortable and stylish
It's a nice dress for work and worn to a work dinner following. Runs true to size as it was a tiny bit loose on me and I tend to be between a 4-6 and typically start w a sz 6. I think the 4 could have worked but this was fine. Nice material and vibrant colors.

Runs big
This is a nice quality heavier dress but as other reviews said it runs big. The front was a decent fit but the back opened and didn't sit properly. It's also quite short and I am not a tall person so anyone w long legs will have a difficult time bending over. I rented it for Vegas so I was ok w the length but ultimately didn't wear it because the back kept opening and didn't look right.

Cute top
This top is nice but nothing super special about it. The top definitely does not stay down over the shoulders. Anytime I raised my arms they crept up. Eventually I just left it that way. Quality is nice. Note that the red detailing looks more of a pink from a distance.

Beautiful dress
This dress is gorgeous. However it runs small in the waist. There is a ribbon with zero stretch in it at the zipper. I'm usually a 4 or 6 so when the reviews said to size up I went with the 6. I think an 8 would have worked perfectly around the waist but the rest of the dress probably would have been slightly large. Advice for the thicker in the waist ladies is to size UP or maybe this dress isn't the best for you.

Super cute
This shirt was fun and adorable. I wore it for a night out w the girls. I got a ton of compliments. I do have slightly broader shoulders so the sleeves didn't stay in place as I raised my arms but it looked great and worth the occasional tug on it.

Nice quality
I wanted to order a 4 as my back up size but it wasn't available. The 6 was a touch big but the 2 was too small. I think the 4 would have been perfect. The length of the pants were not cropped like the photo but looked like a normal pant length on my 5'1" frame.

Really big
Nice coat but really big! Returning it without wearing it. Ordered a 6 but I'd go 2 sizes smaller to a size 2 if I try it again.

This did not fit appropriately
The dress was much tighter than the pictures and is not short as it states if you are a short person. I typically wear a 6 but ordered this as a backup in an 8 due to other reviews. The 8 fit but showed every single curve and flaw. It was also much longer in the picture. Do not worry about the length of you are short but do order a size or two up if you have curves and don't want it skin tight.

Beautiful detail
The dress was gorgeous, detailed and high quality. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because I personally didn't think it was flattering enough. I'm short, 5'1" and the waistline was a bit high making the pleated skirt flow high on my waist and not exactly where I'd prefer the waistline to hit. If I had a longer torso it would have been perfect in my eyes. However, I received a ton of compliments so I might be more critical than most people!!
