Cute and easy
(December 25, 2012)
"I have this dress in yellow and "green." The green is more of a teal which I love, it looks just like picture, I would not describe it as green. Fits cute and comfortably and you can add a belt if you'd like. I'm 5'4" 125 and a S is a great fit."

AWFUL!
(December 9, 2012)
"i was so excited to receive this in the mail and boy was i disappointed when i opened it and tried it on. First off, the material looks CHEAP. and i suggest sizing at least two sizes down because the dress looked like a trash bag on me. it was long and really baggy and i tried wearing it with a belt but it just couldn't work. it went back the next day."

"I bought the Mint color in XS..BEAUTIFUL, vibrant, flowy dress. Reminded me of something like a modern Cinderella would wear(!?) Very pretty to just look at :)
Unfortunately I had to return it because the bust area was too loose for me (32b). I usually wear size Small in UO dresses. I would def recommend for larger bust ladies.
It is a flowy, shapeless dress so a thin belt to cinch in the waist would look cute too. Sad that I had to return it."

Pretty Dress
(October 17, 2012)
"I just got this dress from the mail today and I really like it! I got it in a black because I felt like that way I can wear it in any season. It is a little poofier than it seems in the photos but I don't think it's that bad. I'll probably always wear it with a belt. The dress for me did not have too much fabric on the front like people have said. It looks like it does in the photo. The length of the dress is perfect. It's about mid-thigh. Love the pockets. I'm 5'8 and have an average built, like 130ish lbs give-or-take. I saw that people said that it does run a little big so I got the small and fits perfectly."

Foodie dress
(October 16, 2012)
"This is the best dress to wear when going out to eat, because you can eat as much as you want and your belly will still fit.
Highly recommended if you like gorging on foie, lobster, and wine without having to worry about sucking it in afterwards."

Really Great
(October 13, 2012)
"I really like this dress. I bought it in purple, the color is a little darker than the picture, it's more of a wine color, but it's really pretty. It just kind of hangs around the waist, but with a belt it looks really good. I'm 5'8 and around 125lbs and small fits me pretty well. I'd probably go down a size though unless you want a really loose fit. The length is nice too, on me it's reaches about mid-thigh on me. Looks great with tights and boots for the fall, or just on it's own for warm weather."

"Dress is great to wear as a summer dress, or with tights and boots in the fall. Best with a belt to give you a waist-line."

cute, simple dress
(September 27, 2012)
"I wanted this to be loose so I didn't size down, and whilst it's a nice flowy smock I wish I'd gone a size down. that said, I still love this dress, the looseness just renders it a bit more casual. I wear this on balmy days and nights, and more often a swimsuit cover up, which is a bit of a waste because this dress could do with a much better showing off. good value for money. the top layer is semi-sheer and it is fully lined. I was a little surprised at the weight of this dress, but I guess that's due to the layers of fabric. I bought the black and wish I had gone a size down OR bought a colour which would suit it more for it's relegated purpose."

Way Too Much Fabric
(September 25, 2012)
"I am 5'9" and 135-140 lbs and usually order a medium in dresses. ordered a small and the fit across the bust is fine, but there is just too much fabric. looks like a nightgown and a belt just bunches up the fabric, looks very unflattering. i was hoping that the dress would be slightly more streamlined. however, the mint color is absolutely beautiful"

It DOES need a belt, but CUTE!
(September 24, 2012)
"It's true that this dress fits very baggy (it definitely looks more wide than on the model's picture), but I intended on wearing it belted when I bought it and it looks adorable! I love how light and flowy it feels. The color is beautiful and it hangs well with a wide stretchy belt. The scoop neck hangs a little low but not enough for a strapless bra to show on me (32A). I definitely wouldn't wear it without the belt, though."

It is ENORMOUS!
(September 21, 2012)
"I am not sure what size the model is wearing, but when I tried mine on there was enough material to make two more dresses. The stitching was poor, it was so unflattering. I looked like I was pregnant and carrying triplets. A belt just made it worse. I do not recommend this dress to anyone."

Not consistent. Unflattering.
(September 17, 2012)
"I ordered 3 of these in XS. Red, Mint, and Black.
Pros:
The colours are beautiful and I liked the addition of the pocket on the dress. The dress itself is very versatile. Something that can easily be dressed up and down depending on the occasion and wearer.
The colours are beautiful and I liked the addition of the pocket on the dress. The dress itself is very versatile. Something that can easily be dressed up and down depending on the occasion and wearer.
Cons:
I would go down a size with this dress. Each dress was made inconsistently and somewhat poorly in my opinion. On the Red dress one of the arm openings was made poorly and unevenly and it looked weird. On the Black dress, the scoop neck was not great. It sloped nicely down one side and came up in a sharp angle on the other and looked noticeably off. Those flaws aside, the dressed looked terrible on me. It was shapeless and baggy. There was so much extra fabric. I tried it with a belt, to give the dress some shape but with the pleats up top, it looked worse. Alas, it wasn't meant to be. All 3 dresses went back.

Cute but needs work
(September 15, 2012)
"This dress is simple but fun. It does hang like a sack so I think it needs a belt and possibly a blazer for the fall. I think it is still a cute staple piece."

i really wanted to keep it..
(September 12, 2012)
"i bought this dress in the "purple", size xs. i'm usually an xs for uo dresses. i'm 5'3", 110lb, 32c. i wanted a simple throw on dress that i could wear with a bra. from the pictures online, it looked cute and easy. the purple color is more of a dark burgundy maroon with a little purple. it's a very pretty color!! i loved the pockets and the length, it hit me maybe a couple inches above the knee.
BUT, the construction and quality was just terrible!! maybe it was just the dress that i got. the dress did not look like it was $69, let alone the current "special" discounted price of $39!!! when i took it out of the package, it was wrinkly. but i didn't think it was too much fabric as others have said..it's flowy and falls nicely, in my opinion.
the front pleats weren't even symmetrical on my dress!! so it was kind of crooked. it wasn't really fixable by shortening the straps either, because that made the dress too short on me. the neckline, because of the bad pleating, wasn't smooth. it was like half scoop and half square. the armpit seams were also not made properly. they were crooked.
i was just so disappointed with this dress. i really wanted to like it. if the neckline (a little bit low for me too) and pleating were better, i would have kept it."

Too Big
(September 12, 2012)
"Agree with all the other reviews, I'm about 165 cm and 54 kg and I got the XS and it was HUGE. Couldn't belt it because there is way too much fabric and it was way too long. Will definitely be returning it."

(September 11, 2012)
"I got a small in the purple color and it's too big. The style is supposed to be baggy/drapy but if you want it to look like it does on the model you're 100% going to have to size down. The color is gorgeous though and the material is the quality you expect. But I'll probs have to return it :("
