This is meant to be loose not fitted. Extremely comfortable. Dress up or down.
Wanted to wear to office so I put a red silly slip under. Looks like a kimono. Extremely comfortable. No zippers, clips or buttons. Just slip on. Can be dressed up with heels. There's openings vertically along back and by the waist. And the v neck runs really low so will need tape to secure breasts from side angle and when bending down.

Love the lightweight fabric and the pastel colors and the tiny floral abstract print.
Unfortunately did not fit because I am broad up top and even though it says size 10, maybe it would be more fitting on someone with narrow shoulders or a size 6-8. The bottom fluttered but felt the width of the back was very narrow.

Can wear desk to dinner
Maybe the picture was a bit misleading. It looked really comfortable and it can go from desk to dinner. But the color is a few shades darker. It is not lined so wear a slip and things with no lining. It is fitted and not really all that loose so size up or two! Material is lightweight. Still a great piece but maybe for someone less curvy.

Feel like a summer princess
Absolutely love this dress because it can be styled up or down all for summer. I pear it with a navy blue light cardigan at work, and I have worn it to a casual wedding rehearsal dinner in a hot city. It's so comfortable and you can use the extra long tassel around the waist or around the neck. Wear with sandals to a weekend outing or wear with low block heels for a fun dinner. Great for any size - I'm 5'3" and 145 so this hits close to my ankle and covers up a lot of areas. Plus the details of the eyelet pattern is beautiful.

Spring getaway - could not wear :(
Sadly, I could not wear this dress. I am 5'3" and it ends mid calf. Great flow and material. But I was not able to zip it up because the lining for under the breast and through the mid back was too small. I am a bit brought chested so it did not fit right. *Important: the dress is low cut. Would go great with black heels or sandals.

Dinner party work social spring
5'3" hem was 2" knee. Low neckline but still conceals the breasts. Wear with nipple pads or no bra. Waist is really fitted no stretch. Lavender looks nice on all skin tones. Silky fabric. Lightweight and breathable. Panels help slim the sides.

Great for any occassion
This dress has cute details like the round cutout in the back, the bow in the back, and the illusion of 2 layers of fabric. However, there is no stretch in the material. I am 5'3" and between size 6-8. My arms are a little big. The arm holes were too small for me and I noticed there is no stretch. So best to order a size up. Otherwise, this dress is adorable for short or petite figures in the spring and can work for any event. There is a little bit of pink in the pattern but very faint.

Wore to work
Hits just below knee and I am 5'3". Chest area was a little tight ( 36c). There are 3 buttons. Unlined silk dress. Wear slip if you don't want it to cling to you. Beautiful print for spring. Work appropriate. Can hide tummy well. Elastic stretch waistband.

Took for a vacation to the snowy mountains. Definitely a show stopper coat unlike no other.
The details are amazing. The faux fur keeps you warm and is fully lined through the body. I am 5'2" and a large hit a couple inches above my ankle. So much better than wearing a plain puffy jacket. Great for formal wear in cold weather. Please keep in mind that the jacket is very heavy because of the wool and the faux fur. The beads are sewn with thick fishing wire so they are sturdy. The embroidery is with thick thread in gold and silver.

I mean! My goodness. The bag is wonderful.
I'm a handbag hobbyist. This is great for every day travels. It looks and feels well made. The retail price makes sense for this bucket bag. It opens up really wide and the drawstring keeps it closed. The short strap can come off but the long strap is good for short people too. The brown is more taupe than tan when you see it in person. Looking forward to seeing this on sale on RTR one day. Will definitely buy it.
