This is very cute on, but it runs on the short side if you're tall.

I imagine the stretch in this dress makes it flattering on almost everyone.

Size runs small, but it was a really pretty dress.
This dress is really kind of charming in a simple way. The fabric is very sheer but once it's on, somehow it works. Unfortunately it runs small and so I couldn't zip it up to wear it. Bummer!

Beautiful color and material but short for tall girls!
I loved the vibrant colors of this dress, the cut, and the colors. The top part fit so well. The problem for me is proportionally it was way too short and it looked cartoonish due to the length. If I had a couple more inches this dress would have been a winner. Sad it didn't work.

Dress is cute especially with a larger belt
This dress was true to size. Like many other reviewers, I wore a larger belt than the tie belt that came with it. This helped give the dress more shape.

Cute jacket for fall
I wore this a couple of times. It is cute and trendy, and warm enough for cool but not cold weather. The material was pilled and a little worse for wear but overall I liked the coat.

LOVED this dress
This dress is so comfortable and the skirt is just dreamy. I got so many compliments on it. The colors were bright and the fabric was soft and lightweight. I am tempted to buy this one. The only negative is that the bust is relatively tight compared to the rest of the dress, so I couldn't wear a bra. I added some bra inserts into the top and that worked just fine for coverage. Also, the straps were kind of long or maybe stretched from hanging, but you may need to pin them. It was ok for me but I am relatively tall.

Beware if you are tall - this dress is so short!
I wanted to love this dress. The fit of the top was adorable, and the silhouette was adorable. It fit great, EXCEPT that it is incredibly short. My husband said it looked like it was trying to be one of those sexy-fill-in-the-blank Halloween costumes. It was almost comical because it is so flared. If it were tighter than the length might not be a problem, but it was a proportions issue. I couldn't wear it without fear of exposure. Maybe it would work if you were shorter.

Loved the color and style!
This dress is detailed and well-made. I got lots of compliments on it. It kind of hid my waist but still I felt good in it, and the color couldn't be beat for summer. It is kind of heavy and bulky which doesn't factor into wearing so much as for packing (if you are planning to take it somewhere).

This dress was comfortable and worked well for an evening wedding.
Overall I liked this dress. The bow on the side with the sleeve kind of accentuated parts of my arm that I otherwise might not want to accentuate, but otherwise it fit well and I felt cute and got some compliments. I usually wear an 8 but sometimes a 6 depending on the material, and the 6 in this dress seemed to fit well. I think an 8 would have been too big.

I didn't wear this because it wasn't flattering for my high-waisted pear shape.
I loved the fabric and the colors of the dress. It was comfortable. In theory I would have loved it but it just wasn't flattering once I put it on. I felt like I looked wide and kind of shapeless, and I think it is because I have such a high waist and am somewhat pear-shaped. I wanted to like this and think it looks great on other people but just not for me.

I didn't wear this dress.
Overall, I don't think the dress looks as nice as you would think given the price. The material is see-through so a slip would be required. I felt frumpy in it and didn't wear it. The colors are pretty though.

I loved this dress! It is very comfortable and flattering.
This dress is so cute and such pretty colors. I got so many compliments. It is conservatively cut yet doesn't feel frumpy. I wore it for work meetings and felt great. The skirt is flowy and I almost had some issues with the wind blowing it up but that is lots of dresses.

I didn't wear this dress.
This dress is a heavy fabric and very intricate and beautiful. The shape just wasn't super flattering on me - I think the waist needed to be a little more snug.

I didn't end up wearing this dress.
I am pear-shaped and this was very snug on my hips (in my normal size - 8). Also, being tall, this was very short on me and I wasn't comfortable in it, so I ended up not wearing it. I saw some pictures where it looked great but I think it probably looks better on a straighter figure.

Looks different in person
The colors in this dress look much darker than in the picture...the fabric is kind of dull and bulky. I did not wear this. It just looked kind of old.

This dress was summery and fun to wear! I got lots of compliments!
The dress is definitely on the tighter side in the bust. I do not have a large chest, but with a bra it was rather tight. You could probably wear it braless. I think overall it was flattering, although the material is a bit bulky and it kind of hides your shape below the waist. This could be good or bad, I suppose. I wish it has been a little tighter under the bust to give me a bit more of a figure but overall I was really happy with it. I got compliments all night!
