Stunning and easy to wear
This dress was so so good. Beautiful fabric, comfortable to wear from day to night, indoors and out. The bodice was a little loose on me (a common issue with my smaller bust) but I was able to secure it with a couple of pins on the side seams. the hem brushed the ground a little (I was wearing flats on the grass) but the length added some elegance so I'm not complaining. It photographs well too.

Pretty but just didnt work
The size I ordered was much too large, and because the fit of the bodice really holds up the whole dress, I wasn't able to pin/adjust it to work. Also the fabric was a little less formal than I was expecting, more of a waffle knit kind of feel. Didn't feel luxe enough for a formal event.

Great Fabric, Flattering Fit
The bodice was a little loose on my (smaller) bust, but otherwise it fit beautifully. Perfect knee length. Pockets were a bonus! So many complements on the fabric and silhouette. Love love love.

Attention grabbing and fun. Fit was odd.
Wore this to an outdoor wedding on Labor Day in the Midwest. It was breezy, but the material really didn't breathe much. The pleats and paper bag waist were surprisingly flattering because of where they hit around my ribs. However, the fit of the bodice was weird, and I ended up fidgeting with it all day. The halter collar didn't sit correctly on my shoulders, and the bodice gaped out under my arms. there was also some odd blousing above the waist band. I kept trying to figure out what bust size this was intended for (bigger? smaller?) but couldn't quite diagnose the issue. In hindsight I should have left it on the hanger.

Perfect for an outdoor tiki themed wedding.
Material was breezy, but the full, ruffled skirt was a bit bulkier than expected for a cotton dress. Pockets were awesome. Belt was a little tough to wrangle, and eventually had to pin the clasp in place so it wouldn't slip into a wonky angle. Overall the bodice fit nicely and the full skirt made the silhouette very slimming. Fun to wear and dance in!

Beautiful dress, not right for my figure
Was true to size, and the color and pattern of the fabric are lovely. The waistband hit me too low to be empire, and too high to be my natural waist. The gathering at the waistband was very unflattering given the placement. Just the wrong cut for my apple-shapped figure. Also very short, even if I had liked the fit otherwise.
