not so cute
9.8.2009
"I tried this on at a store and it's not that cute. I don't like the flappy details on the side. This dress was too big on me..looks WAY better on the model than in real life. I am petite 5'1" and 110lbs and a full B. Maybe on taller people it might look good.. but it's certainly not for me.."

Makes me look a bit wide
7.25.2009
"The dress is undeniably beautiful. I have it in black.. the fabric is lovely. I am about 33-23-33 in measurement and the size 0 is a bit large (as I expected it would be). The fabric on the side makes me appear wide.. that's probably the only thing I don't like about it. I'm wondering if a belt might help with that.
Anyways, it's still a nice dress and I do not regret buying it."

Cute Details
7.24.2009
"I picked up the black color during the sale - and it does fit true to size. The details are really cute, and it doesn't come up so short on me like the models. (I'm 5'4"). The material is really thin, so actually, it's nice that they have a thin slip that's underneath. It's still pretty thin with the slip though, so make sure you wear the appropriate undergarments underneath! It's slimming at the same time, with a nice touch of the 'girly' details like the flutter sleeves."

desert kaftan
7.6.2009
"i read the other reviews before purchasing this, saw that many commented that it runs large, i'm a size 4 and decided to go with a sz 2 which i regret, it is tight across the torso and in the legs leading me to believe that it actually runs more true to size than it does large. i'm returning my sz 2 for a 4 and hopefully i will be pleased with it, other than that, its a really pretty material, light and feminine."

Love it!
6.16.2009
"I got this in white in a size 6 and would say it runs true to size. I am 5'9 and 34c. The drawstring style with the ruffles on the side is super flattering and cute. The color is not really white, it's a nice off white. Randomly it comes with a slip that I don't think looks good under it, but makes a cute 1960's style nightie. Looks cute as a shirt with a tank top underneath or over a bikini as a coverup. Highly rec'd!!"

So Beautiful!
6.16.2009
"I didn't really like this dress on the hanger when I first saw it, but once I tried it on, I absolutely fell in love with it. I wear it very often and its very beautiful. I always get compliments. The lighter colored one is very angelic-looking. I got a size 2 and I'am 5"3 and 115 lbs. fits perfectly. My only concern is it is a bit see-thru, so make sure you wear nude-colored underwear!!! IMPORTANT."

eh
4.28.2009
"it actually looks a lot better on that model than it does in real life. there was a slip that came attached under that frock that doesn't show on her ,and made it look odd. you can detach the slip but it will be see-thru. and there was a light light yellow pattern all over the dress/kaftan you can't see unless you have the garment.
i'm petite and 34b in chest and the xs was loose. so the garment runs a little loose. it's pictured waaay different on here than it looks in real life in my opinion."
