Beautiful and comfortable; not for pear-shaped
The pattern is so beautiful! Quirky, elegant, intriguing but not too loud, can be dressed up or down. Super versatile. However the seam puckers on the hips and accentuates pear-shaped, so maybe not the best choice for that sihouette.

Fantastic pattern, beautiful fabric, love the low turtleneck
I really enjoyed this shirt; looks great with leggings, jeans, a skirt, a pinafore. Very versatile but make sure to let the pattern shine! The colours are so deeply vibrant and eye-catching...very flattering. Sleeves are a bit long, maybe 2-3 inches more than expected.

Size 14 is very small
I've gotten two other size 14 Saunders Collectives dresses which were cute large and sized more like 16/18s...this one was too small! Definitely a different cut, but wouldn't even zip up in the torso. Measurements match a size 10. Cute fabric and interesting design.

Material looks like fancy basketball jersey
This material is definitely heavy and feels nice, but it looks like a fancy basketball jersey.

Very small in the hips but fabric is so lovely!
I love many of the other Shoshanna dresses in size 14 but couldn't get this one over my hips thought the chest/torso was sized right. The fabric is beautiful (the ruching/weight of the fabric makes the rainbow star fun and elegant, not childish)

Fits small and short
Pattern and colours are striking and beautiful, while the shoulder details are really cool. However, the XL fits like a 10 and on my 5'4" frame somehow the hem showed a bit of bum so this would have had to been worn like a tunic. Sizing is a bit off and not an option for mid-size unfortunately.

Very boxy fit, much too long for petites
Very cool/beautiful fabric with sleek iridescent sequins throughout. Very boxy cut though and absolutely too long for petite (came to mid-calf on my 5'4" frame), so with the cut and the length...it just looked like a fancy hospital gown or something.

Beautiful fabric and draping; pins easily. XXL is long for a petite frame.
Love this dress and got great compliments on it! I'm 5'4" and was able to pin up at the waistline a few inches to help give some more shape to the silhouette, and also used tape to create a neckline (which is constructed to be very full-coverage!). Could definitely be a great power dress for work and/or evening out a really enjoyed the draping benefits to cover belly. Very, very flattering for pear or hourglass figures; booty looks fantastic! XXL fits like a 14/16 and is stretchy, so I will size down if I get this one again.

Beautiful purple-hued pattern, runs very large
Beautiful fabric and pattern, travels well with no wrinkles, great length of dress even on my 5'4" frame. Very generous sizing; I may get again but go down 2-3 sizes. The 14 fits more like a 20. Bustline measures 46" and fitted waist is 41"...I couldn't wear outside but used for a photoshoot where I could clip in the back.
