I Felt so Parisian in it!
Such a cute dress. The fabric is a high quality and lays very nicely. I couldn't button it around my 38C chest, so I just wore a fitted tank underneath. It's fitted around the waist - and I received so many compliments. I've recently lost 40 pounds and this is the first time since the loss that I've worn a fitted dress. I wore it a two-day meeting for work and so many people complimented me on my weight-loss, which this dress really showed off. The ladies in the room also told me how much they loved the colors. It's like a periwinkle blue or purple - depending on your perception.

Better Wear Some Shorts Underneath
I'm 5'4" and this puppy was one dropped-anything away from showing it all off! It's 33" from shoulder to seam - so I made note that I should probably stick to 34" lengths instead. I wore it a few times. Once to a graduation party, where I decided that I wouldn't bare my parts if I just stood the entire time. I also wore it out running errands and the adorable Costco pharmacist said he loved the bean print. Complimentary fit.

Better be an A Cup!
Not sure where your breasts are supposed to go in this dress - because there was no allowance made for them. The good news is that this dress looks super cute with a tank underneath. Be warned, it's 100% polyester, so in 80F+ weather, I felt like I was wrapped in saran wrap. I received so many compliments and felt really cute in it.

Super cute Spring "topper"
I went to San Diego end of May for vacation. If you've been there this time of year, then you know it's quite chili at night. This lightweight cotton jacket was the perfect topper for cool beach evenings! The shorter, squared shape looks great and hit me, a short-waisted person, at the exact right place! Next time I'll order one size down. Depending on cut, I'm anywhere from a 10 - 14 and this XL was a smidge too big. Still looked cute.

Elegant & Casual at the Same Time
Loved this dress, although the size I ordered was one size too large. The skirted part is 100% cotton, so I did give it a good ironing when I received it. I felt both elegant and casual wearing it. I wore it to a beach vacation for a dinner night and also for a day at work with a cute denim jacket.

Maybe this one was shrunk in the dryer???
I'm usually a size 10 to 12 on the top, depending on the cut. This was a 14, and I couldn't even button it. At all. It's 100% cotton - so I even gave it a good ironing, thinking it would release some of the fabric. Nope. There was no way I could even clasp it closed.

Didn't Fit
I was bummed that this wouldn't even zip up on me. I'm usually a size 12. I ordered a 14 after reading everyone's reviews. There was still no way I could zip it. It's 100% cotton and I did iron it, hoping to get a little release from the fabric.

Cute Dress
The L fit me perfectly. I wish the arms were cuffed instead of elastic. The elastic is so tight that pushing up the sleeves was uncomfortable. The puffy skirt is great - except on windy days! Wear shorts or be prepared for your Marilyn Monroe moment! I received lots of compliments while wearing this.

Great Color!
High quality fabrics and fun color. I wish I had sized down to an L from the XL. The XL was too big - but I still managed to wear it a few times in the month I had it. Women would stop me on the street to compliment me on this blouse, It'll be added to my rental rotation.

Dress up any pants or jeans
The pitched arms are a wonderful design detail. I wore it a few times - with jeans and white slacks. With this size, I couldn't really button it up the front.

Super Short
Got this for a party at a conference in Austin. Ended up not wearing it. Even with shorts underneath, it was far too short. I was worried that one wrong move and my hind end would be seen by all.

Super chic jacket!
I received a 12. Wish I had sized up as the arms were a smidge too tight. Received tons of compliments on this one! I wore it to work with Kelly green cigarette pants and also with wide leg jeans. Great way to snaz up any type of bottom!
