Stunning!

Ordered this dress for our wedding welcome event and I could not be happier. The cut of the dress is impeccable. The plunging neckline is pretty deep but the shape of the dress keeps it classy. It’s a little weird that the only thing holding the dress together is two buttons (kind of like a wrap) but I think it’ll be fine. Definitely recommend!

Unflattering

I Love myself a Cape, so I thought this cape-inspired Blazer/Dress would be a Stunner. (It’s described as a “minidress, but my plan was to pair it with some slacks in the same color for a monochrome palette and add a Wide Belt around the waist to Set It Off…you’re welcome!) This item looks great on the model in the picture, but IMO, it is Not suited for the vertically-challenged Or the Robust. Nordstrom’s shipping was fast, and the packaging was fine, but when I tried it on, I was disappointed. IMO, it runs Small, it leaves an awkward, asymmetric gap in the front with the buttons closed, and the shoulder pads give it a very Harsh look. It really is a Hot Little Number, though, but primarily for those who are Tall And Thin.

Boss Lady Indeed! LOVE

I love this dress. I bought it for my Halloween costume (Cruella) and it was perfect! I’m 5ft, 140 pounds, and the medium fit perfect. It’s such a gorgeous dress and I will definitely be wearing this to work too on the regular as this dress gives me so much confidence and really does make me feel like a boss lady. It’s beautiful!

Really low cut

I should have paid more attention to the photo. This is extremely low cut. As a busty, curvy woman, there is no chance I'd wear it. Likely very cute on a thinner frame as pictured.

So cute but too short!

Wanted to love this dress but it was too short! The fit was true to size, but I’m 5’11 and it would probably look better on someone more petite. Also, there’s only one button in the front holding it shut, so I’d be nervous about it coming undone through the night

Sophisticated and classic

Love this. Perfect length for me 5 foot 4. Not too short unless you wear high heels. Sexy and sophisticated. It is a deep v so you’ll see a bra . Wear with pasties, no bra, or a pretty bra you don’t mind showing . Love this dress.
