Comically small waist
I’m usually a 29 in Madewell and other brand jeans. The 29/30 was 3 inches too small in the waist. Could not zip up at all.

Unbearable. And it’s a tight neckline so wearing a shirt underneath didn’t help. Very cute though.

Bunches
Great top- striking color, structured, quality fabric that doesn’t pill, true to size. Unfortunately the fabric bunched and rolled in the back for me- almost like there was way too much fabric in the back. Didn’t wear.

Cool color but wrinkles
What can I say. Great fit, color, cut. Just like on model. It’s linen so you’ll have to steam it a lot. Better for casual days. Size 6 was perfect for me- dress size 6/8.

Surprisingly meh
Itchy. The front wouldn’t lay flat/kept popping open and was still too tight for a pin (I’m 36C so something for more breasty folks to be aware of.) The elastic band around the waist was a bit too tight- would’ve preferred a slightly more slouchy fit there like on the model.

Tighter than Spanx
Ordered 2 sizes up based on comments and could still hear my organs crying as I tried to squeeze into this one. There is limited stretch and the sizing is…off. If you’re usually a 6/8 like me and would like to preserve your dignity, go up to a 12. At least. I did not wear. Got the zipper halfway up before I decided I like to breathe.

Too tight for work
Wanted this as an office dress. It’s much more tight/clingy than on the model, with no draping. The V is very deep so a larger size wouldn’t help. great for cocktails but not office. 37”, 32”, 39”. With butt 42”.

Cute versatile but short
37”, 32”, 39”. With butt 42”. Large fit perfectly draped like the model. Would buy it if it were just a half inch longer (I’m also short waisted.) sleeves very long so need to roll.

Great basic dress for office. Comfortable. Stretches a bit. Not itchy and I’m usually sensitive. 37”, 32”, 39”. With butt 42”. Wore medium and it was perfect. Would also fit someone slightly larger than me.

Beautiful skirt, no stretch
I think it fit true to size or slightly large. I’ll order the size up next time so it sits more on my hip than my waist- it has zero stretch so kept digging in and didn’t fall in a flattering way.

Cute but not for curves
Embroidery is even more beautiful in person, and the fabric looks and feels high quality. Would fit best on someone who is tall/narrow with long torso or someone with small waist. I have a high waist so the ties hit closer to my hips and I couldn’t close the top properly over my 34Ds. The snap closure is useless and kept popping open. Tried tying higher but got some muffin top.

Fits VERY small
I’m usually a size 6/8 in dresses, 34C/D, 30” waist, 37” hip. Ordered the medium and could barely breathe and barely fit my chest. The fabric is beautiful but is the kind of material that clings to problem areas. Definitely size up at least one size. Didn’t wear.

Not for broad back
Lots of issues with this one: fabric reminiscent of the material that shows are wrapped in, the tag sticks out of the back wrap portion, when wrapped tightly the “V” in the back isn't straight/symmetrical and when wrapping loose the sleeves fall down the shoulders, sleeves are tight, and generally if you have any semblance of broad back and short waist (me!) the shirt will just keep pulling open in the back instead of forming that nice V in the photo.

Odd fit
I have a short torso and this still rode up my butt and bits. A size up wouldn’t have worked because the cheat was too large and strap too long (I would be flashing people.) I imagine this would be a perfect fit for women shorter than 5’5”, who are bustier than 34C, and have higher shoulders.

Rent this two sizes up. I’m a 6/8 (36”, 30”, 37”), rented the 6, and couldn’t zip it up. The fabric is cute but definitely seen better days/doesn’t look as new and crisp. Looks very cute and will rent the 10 once it’s available.

Itchy, too casual
Rented for work. I can wear most cashmere and wool but this one was so itchy! It was like wearing a scratchy cocoon. The stitching and raw edges of fabric make this too casual for work.

PSA: not as pictured
I’m usually a S or M, and the M was so tight that it shortened the dress and I couldn’t wear to work. Also, the lines on sleeve are sparkly silver not white as pictured. I’m 5’5” yet dress was shorter on me than on model.

Cute flows spring skirt
Thicker thank photos and not as silky as it looks, only the silver color is really shimmery. Orange also has a bit of a pattern or crosshatch appearance to it. Flattering fit- these skirts have a tendency to cling or fall into cracks when walking if you know what I mean but not with this one! Elastic waistband.

Versatile, silky forest
What else to say. Shirt fit ideally- I’m 34DD and petite so it’s great that buttons weren’t ripping open while wearing as usual! The way it’s designed it does have little gaps at certain angles between the buttons so recommend silk shift underneath. Billowy sleeves and looser fit, not tailored/slim. Can be belted!

Loved this top. Usually a size 4-6 and the 8/40 fit perfectly. It would look even better on someone with a longer waist/taller to show the crisscross action in front. Can also be worn untied with skinny jeans.

Not what I thought
Thin cotton material and print is more reminiscent of a picnic blanket or table cover. Wrap skirt with one button and tie, which whips open at every gust of wind or when sitting. Thankfully had a coat so took that off and held in front of skirt while walking. Other than that, very cute casual spring and summer skirt and would recommend for work or outdoor functions that don’t require sitting. And wear shorts underneath.

Even better than the photo
Beautiful, unique, comfortable skirt that goes surprisingly with a lot of colours (wore it several times with black turtleneck, teal turtleneck, grey sweater, navy sweater, white blouse.) versatile: wore to work, weekend shopping/coffee, and to a party w black leather jacket and strappy top. Fabric is soft and thick. Skirt flutters at bottom when you walk which looks *fab* considering buying.

Great cut and fit
Order 1-2 sizes down. I’m usually a 6, wore 4 and the shoulders and back were still a bit big. Works well with dresses and tops, over large coats only because of shoulder pads. Crisp, clean modern look though note material is wooly fabric/not typical blazer fabric and easily looks worn so not as sharp.

Comfortable, flattering
Wore for work with blazer and on its own with big earrings to party. Runs large and stretched with just one wear, would suggest 1-2 sizes down. I’m 5’5”, 140 pounds, hourglass and usually a medium, but the dress was too big in the shoulders and waistband fell at odd spot. Swapped for small and wore twice before it stretched out too much. Great quality fabric and flattering shape, color.

Edgy cool
As other commenters noted, the fit is oversized and boxy, with shorter sleeves. Note that the chest is quite open and it's *long* Otherwise warm, comfortable and catches people's eye. I felt it was a little too bulky and out there for work, but a great cool-weather item.

Almost perfect!
I'm 34DD, 5'5", 140 pounds, hourglass. This dress fit perfectly for work- would have bought except wish it had a bit more room in the bust, had more stretch, and that the stitching didn't bulge (under certain light the darts along chest resembled nipples.) Color is a true red/cherry red. Fell right at knee.

Unique
Fabric is thin and clingy, especially when staticky. Beautiful lines, detailing, shoulder structure and draping. Will need to wear tanktop or bandeau underneath for work because the neckline cuts quite low. Wish it was a little shorter in back or had different cut so didn’t bunch up. Also- I’m usually a small and the medium fits like a glove, so order up!

Beautiful
Beautiful fabric and color. Caution for the high-waisted and curvy: it sat a bit too high for me/ cut off my waist and sat oddly on top of my hip (kind of like reverse muffin top that I tend to get with this skirt style.) So ordering a size up so it sits on hips.

Cons: Dress looks and feels like grey terry cloth, has no shape, clings and accentuates every bump and shape, slit in back runs up to just below buttcheek, sleeves a bit too tight while rest of dress feels slightly loose. Pros: it’s comfortable Didn’t wear, sent back.

Adorable edgy
Loved it. Wore it almost every day to work. Great stretch as well. Im high-waisted so this may be a bit too short for longer torsos. A bit too thick to tuck in, so fewer options. Otherwise great quality, great fit, comfortable. Note the leopard spots are more pink than white (imo makes it look classier.)

Tight
Not for the curvy. I'm usually a 6 in dresses, ordered 8, and felt like a sausage- the dress was so tight and the fabric has no give. The zipper kept opening at the bottom whenever I moved. Size up wouldn't work- would be too large in shoulders. It may work for someone who's around my height but smaller bust and long-narrow body. Too bad because it's a great color and concept.

So itchy
It's not wool, yet so itchy! I'm high-waisted, short torso so this was tight right on my belly instead of waist and the top part of the dress was too large- just gaping off my shoulders and sliding down my front and back. Would be great on someone taller than 5'5" or with lower waist. Other than that, I love the color and look of it and bummed it didn't work out. Sending back.
