Fits loose

"I ordered size S, 5'8, 130 lbs, 34D and found it a little too loose for my taste. I know it's a shift dress, but it was too bulgy around my (flat) stomach.
The embroidery is beautiful though.

Disappointing
3.30.2013
"I am 5ft6, slim build and the medium is very fitted. The quality of the dress is disappointing and the dress is not nearly as vibrant as pictured. It is much more a cream colour. Given the quality it is vastly overpriced. It is more like a dress you would pick up at an Indian clothing store for about £30 max. I am an international buyer so a lot of hastle to return."

So pretty..but..

"This dress is so beautiful. All of the embroidery on it is perfect. The look of the dress overall has exceeded my expectations. I even found it long enough, which is rare because I'm 5'11". The only thing is...I do find it a little bit too big in the top half. Around the arm holes and such. I always always always order a small on free people and this is the first time that it wasn't a perfect fit. That being said, it's not big enough for me to return it. It's just a little roomy. I would suggest going down a size. It really is a beautiful dress."

Review 4 for Byzantine Empress Shift
Name:

body type:petite
lovely and well made!
3.7.2013
"Lovely little dress, well made and nearly perfect. Lined and comfy, but the top runs a little loose for me, I was hoping it would have a better silhouette. I confess, I'm a little. 5'2, 100 lbs, 32 B, so I'm not surprised it ran a little large. But I love it so much for layering and has so much potential I'm going to have it tailored to make it perfect. And I often have to with free people clothes."

Review 5 for Byzantine Empress Shift

really lovely
3.6.2013
"I bought this dress to wear to a semi-formal event, but also hoping I could dress it down more frequently. It's pretty perfect for both. I'm 5'5" pretty thin, and I bought a small, and it fits mostly great everywhere. It's just a little tight/short in the back, but I have a pretty big butt. It's a little shorter than I expected but nothing too bad. The fabric soft and feels good - delicate but not like it will tear too easily. I'm very happy with this purchase."
