Great bohemian look
4.21.2013
"I ordered this dress online and absolutely loved it! as others have said, it is a bit roomy, so it would be a good idea to go down a size or two. For reference I am 5'7", normally wear a 6/8 and purchased this in a small. The small is still roomy, but just the right amount. I ordered this dress in black and love the green details, I just may have to order it in red too. The only reason I did not give the 5 stars is because the hem at the bottom was bunched too much, so I will go to the store to see if I can exchange it for a new one."

"I fell in love with the orange one at the first sight. It was so bright and joyful.. I tried both M and S at the store and decided with S. Usually I'm a Medium so it does run large. It's not tight around the waist but it is NOT shapeless! So it is really perfect for a day dress!"

"I ordered this dress for an event, I thought it would be perfect. It runs a little larger than I thought, shapeless dress. I had to return it, pretty pattern but not what I thought it would be."

"It is not that big or long to me as otters said, and I find it very suitable. The material is 100% rayon, and it feels good. Just one thing not comfortable to me, the neckline is a little bigger."

Nice, but no waist.
3.7.2013
"I am 5'5" usually wear a 10 or 12 in dresses. I got the black dress in large and had plenty of room to spare. The shoulders and arms weren't too terribly big but the waist does not cinch in AT ALL like it seems to in the picture. It pretty much goes straight down from my chest, which i guess is supposed to be the style and might look good on a smaller frame, but i need dresses to hug my waist. I probably could have used a medium but i don't want to risk the arms being too tight so I'm definitely getting it tailored because it IS a very lovely dress, Embroidery and print is beautiful. Fabric is lightweight but seems durable."

Nothing like the picture.
3.5.2013
"This dress is orange, and looks like a night gown. I was expecting a more orangey red after reading the other reviews, but it's nothing close to red. I ordered a small, which always fits me but this looks huge on me. A belt doesn't help, and it's beyond a few repairs.
It's too long and too loose, and they must have tightened it at the waist a lot when they photographed it on the model because it looks like a box on me. A box that I would sleep in. Except I won't. Because I want to keep my boyfriend.

Nice but just OK
2.24.2013
"I received this dress from an online order and was a bit disappointed that it is not the tomato red that I expected. The colour is much more muted and orangey than the pictures. It fits me well, but is a little loose. At 5'11" it is too short to wear without leggings and I was surprised at how long it was at the back as it is not advertised as a high low dress. It comes to the back of my knees at the back and very high on my thighs at the front. The dress is still cute and I will be keeping it as I can wear it with leggings or over skinnys."

Very cute!
2.14.2013
"This dress is so sweet! I bought the XS and I'm a size 6-8 - fits really well. It's a dress you can wear with sandals in summer or tights and boots in winter.
The only downside would be that the fabric is quite thin and it's not lined. It doesn't really look like it should be priced over $100. I would have given it 5 stars if the price matched the look and quality of the product.

My New Favorite.

"I bought this dress in black at my local fp store in a sz small. It looks awesome with tights or bare legs and boots. It's versatile, fun, and perfect. I love when I find dresses like this one. I also LOVE the touches of green! Color of the year! For reference, I am a 34B, 27" waist, 135 lbs. and 5"8."

"I am kind of between sizes though. The piping in the back makes a beautiful line and the added length in back is a bonus. Very unique. The dress is snug on me through the shoulders but if I go up to a medium, it's large through the bust... I hate it when this happens!"

Weird Fit
1.27.2013
"I feel a little matronly in this dress. Perhaps I should have sized down, since the bust area is too roomy. But I am afraid it wouldn't fit in the arms and shoulders if I went down a size. I am a 36C, 5'7 and 143 lbs. I usually wear a M for shoulders and arm length, but in this case a S would've been worth a try. Cute pattern and stitching. The neon green isn't as noticeable in the photo, but very cute. Just wish it was a better fit for me. I plan to keep it and have it altered."

Pretty & comfy
1.25.2013
"I got this dress at in the red/orange the Raleigh store a couple weeks ago and I couldn't be happier! I typically get M but sized down to a small so it wouldn't look too big & boxy. I'm an hourglass shape (36B, 27" waist, 39" hips) so it's best when a dress accentuates my smaller waist & downsizing plus the detail at the top does just that! The colors are really nice in person & it flows beautifully over curves :). Also, I'm 5'8" & the small still hit about mid-thigh in the front"

"I purchased the "red" in an XS. I say "red" because it is orange according to my color vision. It fits me well, just as it appears on the model. The fit, as many FP clothes, has some extra inches but I find it fantastic."

Adequate
1.13.2013
"Was a bit disappointed upon receiving this dress in the mail; I ordered the black in a S, and was surprised by the intensity of the stitching around the bust (more of a neon green than in the picture). The fitting is a bit baggy for my taste, however seeing as I am 5' and 105 lbs, I am not too upset, and expect that this dress ought to fit the average person pretty decently. I plan on returning the dress I currently have to my local FP store and trying on the orange shade in an XS...fingers crossed it's a fit!"

"Very pretty dress! I'm 5ft 8 and bought the small so on me the dress is a little shorter at the front than the pictures indicate, and the red is more of an orange but its still very nice. The fabric is light, and fits true to size with a casual, relaxed feel. Very excited to wear it out!"

Pretty, but not for me
1.4.2013
"I really like the delicate floral pattern on this dress and the stitching along the bust, and it looks prettier in person. As others have mentioned, the red is actually orange, which was disappointing. But it's still a nice color. The reason this dress wasn't for me was because of the fit. The dress fit too tight on the top and very loose at the waist. The dress also tented out from my bust to the waistline of this dress because it was too loose around my actual waist. So overall, I would say this dress is tight in the shoulders and bust and loose in the waist. The light pleating also made my hips look wider, so it just wasn't flattering on me. Also, when I saw this dress online, I liked the keyhole opening because it makes the dress look more unique and detailed. But when the dress was on me, it brought too much attention to my bust in an unflattering way. It's a nice dress, but just not for me."

Casual cute
1.4.2013
"Got this in the black for Christmas! So cute, as a previous reviewer mentioned, the green trim is much brighter than the photos, I think it is adorable. The dress is loose and so comfortable, but still has some shape and is just the perfect thing to put on for anything. I live in an always warm climate, so I can wear this now with sandals, but even in the cold there are lots of easy layering things you could do. I find it pretty sheer, a perfect excuse to throw a little slip under ( if you care). I'm really happy with this one. Found it pretty TTS, could have sized down, but was satisfied with my M."
