Vibrant colors
Sleeves are ruched and voluminous - don't expect proportion. Slightly cropped - just below waist length. Looks cute zipped or unzipped. Not too heavy - was good for weather in the low 80s but probably nothing warmer.

Check the size list
Didn't get to wear these - was not paying attention to the 16/32 instead of a normal 16/33. Apparently I need that 33. Also - muscular calves - these are stretchy but they will be a bit snug in the lower leg. These are a thinner weight so good for spring/summer or for tucking into boots.

Super cute
Great blouse. If you are between sizes - go with the smaller. Wore with cropped sailor jeans with some chucks for running around and it was breezy and cool. So perfect for the hotter spring weather. The side detail makes it fun and keeps it from being boring.

Short and snug - I should know better
Would be great on someone else. The fabric is nice - thick but not heavy and the details/ruffles are flattering. Dresses are just not good on me unless they are straight sheaths - you'd think I'd know by now - but I want to love the flouncy fit and flare shapes so very badly. Sending back. Snug thru the midsection and oddly the buttons at the wrist made them very tight - not the whole sleeve - just the wristbands. And, alas, 5'9" may just be too tall for it. Even with black tights I'd feel uncomfy wearing it to work.

Colors are great!
Thin lightweight sweater - wear appropriate bra - could see my nude one thru the black section of the sweater. Also - a bit snug - I'm not familiar with the sizing for this brand and will order up moving forward. Looked good from the front - from the side my fat midsection was a hot mess. Will reorder in larger size because I like the colors and style.

So pretty for the right body type - alas - not mine...
Thick lace - no stretch. This would be amazing on the right body shape - someone more hourglass. I'm usually an 18 or 20 for dresses because my fattest portion is thru the middle - so, I went with the 20. The waist was fine (a little big, but 18 may have been snug), but the arms, chest, and skirt were too big. I tried sitting down (my date was for dinner) and there was gapping at the neck. I tried adding a belt which helped the skirt look better, but the top and sleeves were just too big. This would be SO pretty on someone else. The mesh between the lace appliques is delicate and the overall look is very luxe. Recommend for anyone not apple shaped - or, maybe, an apple with more bust than me (38 DD).

Wore several times
Had this blouse for a while. Great for dressing up or down - the sleeves are fun without being unmanageable. I wore it with cuffed jeans and leopard pumps as well as skinnys and chelsea boots and also with a black pencil skirt. Try tucking just the front for some shape without losing the shirts flow. Only drawback is the neck button is nearly impossible to fasten/unfasten on your own.

Not for tall gals
Great feel - cute pattern - arms were plenty long - but torso length not so great for taller people. If I raised my arms my belly was on full display. Only wore the one time.

The Colors Are So Vibrant
Loved this blouse - I wore it 4x in the period I had it - to work with black slacks and with skinny jeans running around on the weekends - and with the tie both tied and untied. The material is soft/slinky, comfortable and high quality and I didn't have any issues with gapping at the front chest buttons - the button line was thoughtfully made. I'm on the taller side and the body length and arm length were both fine.

Great Color - Disappointing in Person
I liked the color (although slightly more muted than pics online), the hardware, and the patent contrast lining inside. Where I think it fell flat is the material and execution. It looks like an inexpensive bag - like faux leather/plastic. There are no pockets inside (for keys - good luck finding them) despite description, the black seam/edge finish is uneven all over with smudges in several places, and the reinforcement stitching where the handles meet the bag looks like someone did it on their home machine. Overall, it's fun for a short period of time, but not something I'd purchase for myself.

Cropped - Read the Description
I was so enamored by the picture of the model and failed to read the full description. This item is cropped and does not come to the waist as it does in the picture. I'm a busty gal who carries her weight in the middle - so very not flattering. Giving this 4 stars because the jacket is so very pretty. It was brand new when I got it and I really wanted to wear it, but - no dice - returning it with the tags intact. Also, the upper arm area is very tight (not the shoulders, just the upper arm) - I had 2 friends try it on and it was tight on them, too.

Great dress - very unique - edgy and sweet
I'm on the taller side and carry my weight on the top - this was very comfy and very forgiving in the midsection. I probably could have gone with the 18 - but prefer the more flowy look. Tons of compliments - nobody had anything that looked even close.

Color is Amazing
The color on this bag is amazing. Not quite as vibrant as the online pic shows, but better in person. This will be a nice muted pop (I know that sounds funny) with all of my winter whites, grays, and blacks. It also has an adorable dancing mouse lining. It was new when it arrived and I may hang onto it for a while - thank you, Unlimited.

I did not end up wearing the dress - tried on at home only.
The dress was a bit loose and longer than I expected. I have an apple shape with broad shoulders, thinner hips, and a bit busty (I'm also pretty tall) - it was loose on me and came nearly to my knees. The entire middle section and thru the butt/hips is elastic gathered (but does not hold you in), so prepare to have it graze your midsection - and to wear Spanx. The dress was new when it arrived to me and it's super cute with the blue in the plaid and the faux leather ruffles and sleeve trim - but, don't plan to wear it unless your body has a waist - mine doesn't - or you plan to cinch in - as the gathers in the middle will not be flattering. The search continues for me.

Dress was perfect!
Does run small - as someone else said, don't be vain - order the larger sizes. I had no problem with the length - even though I'm on the taller side. There is a TINY bit of stretch, but don't count on that to give you any wiggle room on the size - it's really only there to help the fit. When I opened the package, I was a bit disappointed - it didn't look anything like the picture, but when I put it on - THERE was the dress I ordered - somehow, it magically transformed. I received compliments all night - and even the next day at work. This was perfect for my company holiday party - and would be great for any number of functions. I wore with black tights, heeled ankle boots, and minimal jewelry and felt great the entire night.
