Striped fun!!!
5.11.2012-
"Love the feel and look of this dress regarding fit and length. I'm 5'3", 110lbs, and bought a small--normally I wear XS but a few reviewers said this was tight fitting. S is perfect. The only thing I'm not crazy about is that the color description says Black & Ivory, but there is no way the dress has any ivory color in it. It's bright white! I was hoping for a more toned down look with ivory, but I still love the dress. The color is the only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. The fit and style are awesome!"

"this dress has the perfect amount of thickness and clinginess, not tight but perfect. If worried about it being too sexy for work I recommend throwing on a cardigan. I wore it with short boots like the ad and it looks great."

AGAIN, I COULD WEAR IT EVERY DAY
3.26.2012-
"I am 5'6 and 132 lb. I bought a SMALL, back and ivory striped dress. Even though I have not worn the dress in public ( I am still looking for a desired pair of shoe that will go with it)... I am in love with this dress. It feels so great on the body and it is true to its size. Can not wait for the weather to improve so I can finally wear it!"

Really Great Dress
3.5.2012-
"This dress is soooo comfortable. It looks really good on. I got the one with the purple stripes. Its very flattering and I would say runs true to size. I love how you can wear the dress at different lengths. You can gather it up to wear with boots and it will stay a that length. Great purchase!"

soft and comfy
3.3.2012-
"This dress looks really good on. I think it runs true to size. I'm usually a small on FP form fitting pieces but an XS in the oversize/loose pieces. So with that said I got this dress in a small. I tried the XS but my breasts couldn't breath & I am a 32D. The sleeves are too long too but I'm okay with bunching it up. The dress has some stretch but I wouldn't say it has a lot of stretch to it. Also I'm only 5'1" so it's not midi length on me it actually hits my ankles but I still like the dress. It's a win or lose with this one. Just got to try it."

Didn't work out for me
2.14.2012-
"I love the idea of this dress and how it looks on the models. However, it didn't work for me. I sized up to a Medium because I didn't want it to be super tight ... so the sleeves were too long and the dress reached my ankles. The Small would have be too tight and probably would have still been too long also. I'm 5'4. I think this dress works best for someone that is tall, not average height. The material is nice and soft but it could be better, especially for the price. Oh well some things are just not meant to be."

Fave Maxi Dress
2.2.2012-
"I bought this in the plum colour, and I would say the other stripes are grey, not ivory. I am usually a S in FP but I sized up to a M based on the other reviews. It is a little bit loose, especially in the torso and arms, but I prefer it being a little loose as opposed to skin tight. It is very flattering and I agree with some of the other reviewers, it is not see through at all. You can definitely see your shape, but not anything else. Since I am almost 5'5 it is a little longer on me than the model, and hits me almost at my ankles. I wore it with a belt to make it a bit shorter and it was the perfect length that way. I would definitely recommend this dress but I think choosing a size is based on personal preference. Size up if you prefer it a little bit looser and stay with your regular size if you want it extremely form fitting."

!!!!
1.8.2012-
"this dress is pretty amazing. the fit is really flattering regardless of your shape, the material seems substantial and it's not see through! I've only worn it once so far and i've gotten so many compliments. I wish the plum/ivory also had a high contrast stitch like the black/ivory. Also i wish the ivory was a little more ivory instead of stark white with the black and ivory one. It makes it look a little cheap, but all the other pros totally make up for it. I'm usually a sm/m, went with a small and i think that was a good decision cause the fabrics really stretchy. do not hesitate, buy!!"

Looks great and feels very comfortable
12.30.2011-
"I love this dress! It is the type of dress you wear when you don't want to get up and go to work. I put it on with a pair of boots, threw on a solid black scarf, and off I went.
I received so many compliments on how great it looked. Remember, it's true to size, I am normaly a 4(small) but I got a medium to be on the safe side (because of the horizonal stripes).
WARNING: the material is so comfortable, you may fall asleep! lol"

WAY too big...
12.15.2011-
"So i had the opposite problem of the other two reviews...after reading them i ordered a small (generally an xs or s in fp depending on the item). It came and was wayy too big. went down to my ankles and i actually found it to be very stretchy and not a thin material at all. Other than the fact that it was huge, i really liked this dress and will be returning for the xs. For reference im 5'3 115 lbs. I gave it 4 stars cause in the right size i think it will be adorable."

This dress is very small
12.13.2011-
"I just received this dress, and was so excited to get it, but it ran very, very small. I normally wear an XS in FP, and I could barely get this dress on (I'm a size 0, 25 jean). I've decided to re-order the dress in a Small, and hope that I don't have to go up to a medium. The dress is really cute with accents of small red stitching. It will be a great dress if I can find the right size. The reason I gave it only 4 stars is due to the sizing."

Runs Small
12.9.2011-
"This dress runs really small so I would definitely size up. There is not a lot of stretch to the fabric,and it tapers really tight at the bottom, which makes walking a bit awkward. The length of size small hit mid calf on my 5'7" frame. I'm going to exchange for a medium for a looser and more casual fit. It's a bit sheer too, so perhaps NSFW without a slip..."
