Gorgeous, but really small.
I couldn't even get the zipper close to closed. I'm not convinced that I was sent the correct size, as there isn't a size tag on the dress.

Cute, but HUGE
I think that this would have been cute, but it's really oversized. I couldn't wear it, even belted. Just toooooooo big.

Pretty dress, not for petite gals
It's a nice dress, but the waist is really long. I feel like the gather should be a bit higher. As it is, the gather is not quite at the hip, so it looks awkward. Maybe you need to be tall to pull this off?

I should have listened to the other reviewers.
This dress is just okay. It's well made, and fits well, but it looks kind of bland, like a uniform. Because of the ruching/gathering in the front, it's kind of difficult to upstyle it. Not for me.

Just okay
I'm not sure if it's the buttons, or maybe the length of the torso, but it doesn't really work for me. I did end up wearing it, but I didn't love it.

Fit is great, pattern is meh
I like this in concept, but there's something about the pattern that doesn't work. The way it's printed, it almost looks like it's dirty. I can't explain it, but it kind of looks like I spilled something on me. Repeatedly.

Fit is good, looks like a costume
There was a lot of promise with the fit, but then I looked in the mirror. It's kind of like Starfleet party attire. The shoulders give a kind of futuristic/military feel. Great for a cosplay base, less so for the office. The material isn't right for formal wear, and the style doesn't work for anything else.

It's big
It's really oversized. Roll up the sleeves for a better look. Otherwise, it has men's sizing kind of look.

Fits like a junior size
It's adorable, and I'm glad the larger size was the only one available. I don't know if I would comfortably fit into my usual size.

Nice, but...
I love the pattern, but couldn't stop fussing with the drape across the mid section. It's nice, but better for long waisted folks.

It fits beautifully. There is no give in the fabric, and is true to size. A jacket makes it great for the office.

It's a heavy fabric, without any give, so get your exact size. I don't usually like this neckline, but it works!

I liked this well enough, but it was a bit difficult to climb into. No joke, it took about 5 minutes to figure it out.

A perfect fit!
This is a beautiful dress! I love that the front buttons have snaps on between to make sure it stays flat. I had people coming over to tell me they loved my dress all afternoon. Also, there are perfectly positioned and sized pockets. Big win for me. There is absolutely no give to the fabric, so don’t size down.

The pleats were all but gone
This really needs the pleats, otherwise it looks like a prairie skirt. Too bad, as it's a really nice design.

Needs a zipper, but just lovely!
I loved this and it fit beautifully once I figured out how to get it on. There's no give to the fabric, so either it can get around your shoulders like a pull on sweater, or you are out of luck.

Runs large
Maybe my fit algorithm is off. It was recommended that the large would fit well, but it is definitely not meant for an oversized look. Size down.

So many sleeves
It's a great fit, but the design is kind of odd. I'm not sure how I feel about using sleeves as a waist tie, but there it was. Four sleeves on one dress. Kind of odd.

Love the look, pleats need a press
This is a fantastic look, and best with a simple top. The pleats were a bit loose, so a press definitely helps.

Surprisingly body con
I loved it, but didn’t wear it. I didn’t have a body shaper, and you definitely need it to smooth out every little thing. There’s no forgiveness here, which is odd because it’s so comfortable and cool otherwise. A slip would probably smooth it out.

Definitely silly ribbons
It fit well, and I felt cute, but the ribbons o. The sleeves were silly. They got in the way every time I needed to wash my hands. For such a casual dress, it's a fussy embellishment.

Very cute!
It fit great, didn't gap in the neckline, and is perfect for the warm September days. It's not for the fall, as it looks very spring/summery, so I'll have to wait a while before renting it again.
