VERSATILE AND SHIEK
"I purchased this thinking it would be a great staple for the office and I was just amazed! I recieved so many compliments and it's cute enough for work or going out. The top was a little loose, but the overall fit was so nice who cares.

Get it...for the sale price it's a steal!!

I'm 5'2" and 130 medium fits great!

cute but strange fit CA
"I ordered this dress in the red and black--the fabric was thin but it was comfortable and the pattern was great. Unfortunately, it just fit oddly and was droopy and shapeless on me. I ended up returning it."

"I was in desperate need of a perfect dress for my sis's wedding, so I went to my fav store ou and there it was. It is fattering, femenine, and most importantly perfect on my petit body.
Here is how I wore it:

"this dress is amazing... throw on a belt and tights and you have the perfect going out outfit... wear with boots to dress up or down...

i have big boobs so the top fit me fine... a little large around the waist but that's what cute belts are for!

overall, fantastic! will be wearing this holiday season :)

Great fit even for large boobs! Portland, OR
"I am 38 DD, 160, 5'10 and thought this dress was really flattering and fit well. If you have a smaller chest the neckline could be a bit of a problem because over time it stretches out and falls down a bit. However, with my larger chest the slight stretch wasn't an issue at all. My only issue with the dress was the material felt more like silk then polyester so it's more flowly then I originally thought."

adorable
"I am 5'7'' and 130 lbs, I got a medium and it was a perfect fit. I don't have a problem with it going too low in the chest area. This dress is seriously adorable. It is extremely flattering and a very feminine cut.
I wear it with knee high brown riding boots, or little red flats. It's very versatile!
I think the dress was much cuter in person. My mom actually complimented me when wearing it and she normally doesn't notice what I am wearing.

"I love this dress! I bought it in the teal and I'm considering buying the red one too.
I bought the large even though I'm a small/medium but i have a big bust. Fits nicely and feels nice.

Disappointment. San Diego, CA
"Too many problems to name. 1: I got it in small, I always wear a small and it fit just fine other than the fact that the back was loose and baggy. Really stupid. 2: The material is way cheaper than you would expect. Really thin. Just a really disappointing dress over all. Do NOT recommend."

my fault new york
Pros: the dress i awesome

"because of many of the reviews, i decided to get a size bigger which wound up being a bad move because it is way too big and baggy. i am 5'8'' about 120lbs and a size small is too big. there is elastic in the back, so i doubt an xs would have been as hard to get on as i was expecting. the dress is beautiful however, i think it would be perfect if i hadn't messed up on the sizing!"

taking it to the seamstress Gainesville, FL
"I ordered a size S-I usually wear a size 2-3 and I'm a 34A. The dress fits great everywhere except the bust. Really loose and hangs down to show my bra. I like the dress enough that I'm going to take it to the semstress to have it taken in a bit."

"Got it in passion rose. Love it hard. It's thin, but at the sale price it's totally worth it. Love the shape and the pattern.
I'm around a size 8. Medium was perfect.

LOVE
"I bought this dress a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it. I think it looks frumpy if worn how it is pictured. I wear it with one shoulder on and one shoulder off. It's so cute this way. I got lots of compliments. Definitely a good purchase. You can dress it up or down."

i'm i glad i bought it, but...
Pros: flattering

"when trying it on in the store i didn't realize that depending on how it hangs it can show your bra straps or show the top of your bra in the front. i wore it out this weekend and was disappointed when i realized this. you kind of have to keep tugging at it to make sure you're not exposed. it's possible i bought a size too big, but like the other reviews said, it felt tight when i pulled it over my head so i didn't want to go a size down.

i think what i'll do is buy a black body suit or something to wear underneath so it doesn't matter if i lean over, etc. i still think the dress is amazingly cute. i got the red and black. i liked the pattern a million times better when i tried it on.

it was ultra comfortable with black sheer tights and boots. i got compliments. this is a dress you don't have to be super skinny to wear. it's flattering and hides problem areas.

moral of the story: try it on before you buy.

Pretty much in love with this one ATX
"It's a tad thin, but I threw on black tights and called it a night. You can totally dress it up or down, the color is BEAUTIFUL (almost exactly as pictured) and ITS GOT POCKETS! :-)
I'm easily amused and all you really have to do is give me pockets and I'm happy...
5'3 sz 6-8, bought a medium and couldnt be more pleased with the purchase!

"I love this dress! Its fits great on me (5'1", 105 lbs). Like the other review said tho, it is a little tough to take off. I just make sure I'm extra careful when I pull it over my head. But, once its on, it fits really well. And yes, it is a little more sheer than it looks in the online pic, but I haven't had any problems in that area."

looks good, with a few problems Long Island, NY
"I didn't actually buy this, but I did try it on at UO and am currently debating whether I should go back and buy it. It's been up for a bit, and doesn't have any reviews so I figured I'd share my experiences with anyone who hasn't seen this dress in person.

First off, the color looks just like it does - a really nice teal color. I wanted to mention that the material is a lot thinner than I expected. Online, it looks nice and thick - but it's actually pretty sheer. It feels a little on the cheap side - not sure if it's worth $70.

Also, the dress is a little hard to get on and off. It probably should have come with a zipper in the back because I literally thought i might rip it taking it off, and I wasn't wearing the wrong size because it falls in all the right places once it's on. And once it's on it really does look cute. Much like the picture, maybe even better in person.

For reference, I'm 5'2, 100 lbs. and I wore an xs.
