The neckline fit oddly on me. The strapless side hit high on that side, though looking at the pictures it seems that's typical. It didn't flatter my broader shoulders, especially with the puff sleeve on the other side. The ruching didn't seem to line up well with the effect of the neckline and slit so it fell a little oddly from there. Most of the dress seemed too big. The sleeve/neckline seemed small. I'd gotten a backup style and chose to wear that.

Fit was significantly bigger than expected. This style relies on being close to the body until the flare mid-thigh and the neckline being close to the throat. Since it was significantly bigger, this was not the case and it looked very baggy. I think if it fit well, it would have been spectacular.

Wore this for an end of year awards banquet.

Love this dress! The draping on the hip makes it extremely flattering and the gold sequins were a big hit!

Much more slim fitting than I expected from the photos. It's a nice little dress that you can wear out to dinner or throw a blazer over for work.

Itchy. Itchy, itchy, itchy. Make sure to wear a base layer that covers everywhere this sweater may touch.

Did not wear.

Of the four pieces I got with this shipment, this is the only one that didn't fit. I got an XL and believe it would fit someone who is a size 10 well. From the picture, I also thought it would be a light, easy sweater. This is a very heavy knit.

Wore for valentine's day with a black cardigan and flats. Felt pretty and appropriate at all venues.

Comfortable, nice bit of swing in the skirt. Love the feminine print and the polka dots. Feels pretty and romantic. A hint of 1950s in the silhouette made this feel and look classic with a modern edge.

Love the sparkle! And the ruffle on the sleeve. The sparkle made this incredibly comfortable piece feel special.
