I really wanted to like this dress, but there were too many cons. The dress was a bit short, and the pleated skirt is too sheer to make it work. Also, the sweater material is a bit itchy.

The quality of this jacket is amazing - so beautiful and the leather is soft! But it definitely ran on the longer side (and I'm pretty tall!),

Wore this to the botanical gardens and got so many compliments on it. Also wore this to a destination wedding, and it traveled beautifully. Fit: I originally ordered the 6, and it was a bit big and loose, but it was fixable with a belt. The next time I rented, I got a 4. The overall fit was better, but the skirt lining was a bit more snug. Granted, I have hips, so that typically happens when I go down a size. Style: The print is beautiful and unique, with the perfect pop of color. The neckline is pleated beautifully, and I never have to be self conscious. The skirt has a side slit that is perfect (about mid-thigh) for when you want a bit of breeze. Also comes with a sash to tie -- but I preferred to swap out the matching sash for a belt to break up the monotony. My favorite thing about this dress is that it's super versatile, and travel friendly! I travel A LOT, and need pieces that will travel well. I dressed this down with a denim vest, leather belt, and wedges for a day at the botanical gardens, and dressed it up for a wedding in Cambodia with dressier sandals. It was nice as a travel dress because I also just wore the dress out and about town (with a chambray for sun protection / extra coverage), and when I needed a dressier option for dinner (with a shawl).
