not a favorite

"i love the colors on this dress, and the embroidery, definitely classic free people touches. the cinching at the hip was just not flattering for me. i have narrow hips and absolutely no waist, and on this showed just how waistless i am. you have to be very curvy and have an hourglass figure i think to pull this dress off."

The great color debate
10.1.2009
"I actually really wanted this shirt in both the prink and the gray color. They are both really beautiful and versatile.
This shirt is so loose and drape-y, it feels like anyone could wear any size and it would still look amazing. I tried it on in a size 10 and a size 2 and they both looked beautiful.
It IS super sheer, which isn't really depicted on the website that well, but I love it and think it is beautiful!
I ended up getting it in gray because I feel like the detailing stands out better when there is more color contrast.

Wish I went up a size

"I am 5'4 and 110 lbs and I bought this dress in a size 4. My only problem is its too short to wear as a dress and too long to wear with shorts. I wish I went up a size so I could wear it as a dress! Otherwise cute material and detailing :)"

Gorgeous!
7.21.2009
"I purchased this dress in yellow and absolutely adore it! It runs very true to size, and all three colors are fabulous! The pictures they have shown don't even do the dress justice! It has lovely embroidery on the dress. I have been able to wear it as a dress or as a long top! Just be careful what underwear you wear because it's a bit see-through. But it is flattering on all body types, because I have a chubbier, more curvy friend who owns the dress and it looks great on her as well!"

Length
7.12.2009
"Either the models are really short or this tunic looks longer than it really is. If you're going for the look the girl in the picture has I'd go up a size for length purposes. Besides you need too wear a top underneath this tunic (layer), so even if it hangs off a little the look can still be pulled off. Otherwise I love my tunic & the detail and color look so much better in person!"

"This piece is absolutely gorgeous. But take note that it is a lot shorter than it looks on the model. I suggest ordering a size bigger just because of the length. Overall though very stunning i would definitely suggest buying this it looks great on!"

Not exactly as the photo
5.31.2009
"This dress is so pretty and I'm obsessed with the detailing. I'm a little bit disappointed by the length in the back of the dress; in the front, it's normally sized like it is in the picture but then around back it becomes much shorter, barely covering my behind. I've tried lengthening the straps but it stays exactly the same. The pros heavily weigh out the cons, though, so don't be discouraged if you want to get this tunic. It's so cute!"

eh
5.1.2009
"I was super excited for this to come. I'm usually an xs in FP so I ordered a 2, but it is so tiny my butt hangs out. Its ridiculous. And the top is so baggy I'm lost in it. Plus the material is stiff and weird and the colors are really dull, nothing like in the picture."

Not as nice as pictured
4.30.2009
"I thought this looked adorable online, in the small picture. But when I got it, the texture was really stiff, not soft, and the grey colors looked horrible. So I returned it. I love the style, but would not have purchased it if I saw it in a store and could see what the grey really looks like and what the texture feels like."

"I got the dress in black and i love it. When i tried it on, it was shorter than i expected so i have to wear tights underneath. But other than that it great! Definitely worth getting for a nice summer piece."

Love it...
4.23.2009
"I recently purchased the Santa Cruz River Tunic in yellow and love it! The detail of the tunic makes it absolutely gorgeous! The only thing I was a little disappointed with was the fact that it cannot be worn as a dress the way it is pictured. First off, I am 5'8" and it is much too short for a tall person like myself to wear it as a dress and get away with it. Second, it is very sheer on the bottom, so you can see right through it. But wear it with a pair of skinny jeans as I did and it looks absolutely fabulous! You can also wear it with shorts!"

"This top is adorable, but very short and sheer. Definitely not to be worn without something underneath. I wore it with a pair of short cut offs, and a tube or strapless bra. Add gladiator sandals and you are "in". I ordered it in the pink, but now I'm tempted to go for the gray too."

Love it!!

"I got this yesterday and it's a little more sheer than you'd think from the picture. I ordered the pink and it would have to have something under it. But it's really pretty in person. I wear a size 8 and it fit like I thought it would. Roomy and comfy. You'll be pleased with it. I think it is prettier in person, as most of FP's items are. Can't wait to wear it when we have some warm weather <3"
