It's a beautiful dress, except for the super-clingy lining. Also, it's not floor length at all. More like ankle length and the lining is much shorter than the lace overlay so it looks a bit odd. Overall a nice dress, though...

This Dress has a bit of a tight bodice on the top which beautifully clings to my fat rolls on my sides/ back/ bra area.. I have not had this happen much with other dresses.  I want to love it and it's got a nice zipper and beautiful construction. I was surprised by the high quality and wish it fit.

It is a very beautiful dress and I was so excited when I saw it. However, it was way too big. I had ordered a  size 12 (I am 162lbs, 5"3', waist-41in, bust-39.5in, hips-50 1/2in). When I tried it on, the top of the dress under the lacing was very itchy. I was just going to see about getting the dress altered but when I met with the lady she said there was just too much to do. It was too long, which was to be expected since I'm fairly short, but not only would I have had to get it hemmed I also would have had to get the chest and waist area pulled in. I'm a 38D so it's not like it's hard for me to fill out dresses at the top (sometimes it's too easy) but this was too baggy. Plus I wanted to find something to cover over the itchy lining from the lace. The woman didn't want to ruin the dress by taking the entire dress apart so she suggested getting a smaller size. If only it was that easy. Unfortunately, all smaller sizes were out of stock. I was a little disappointed so I chose a different dress entirely.

This bag just came in today, and I'm trying really hard to like it. Honestly, it's just gorgeous on the outside. The size is just what I was looking for, and the adjustable strap is wonderful. Love the two big zipper pockets on the outside as well.

My problem with it is the lining. It feels like a dollar store raincoat. Or a textured Ziploc bag. Why would Kavu take such a beautiful, functional purse and cheapen by lining the interior with such a low-dollar material? I can't even call it fabric, because it feels more like plastic. I can tell that even though the exterior will be great for years, the interior won't last more than a couple months.

Other than that, it's a great bag. A generous zippered pocket on each side of the exterior, one more on the interior, and a couple smaller pockets on the interior, too. The zippers are nice, although I'm a little confused why the zipper pulls are in black while the zippers themselves are brown (brown coordinates with the bag while black decidedly does NOT).

I carried this bag to the movies with my young son, and it was lightweight and comfy. It holds my large wallet and sunglasses case along with other purse items with plenty of room, and it drapes perfectly.

Even though I can't stand the interior, the rest of the bag is worth keeping. If the Kavu folks read this review, though, PLEASE use a different lining next year!

It is a beautiful dress. I am a size 5/6 and ordered a medium. I wish it was a bit smaller. Sleeves sit high off of shoulders. Rouching around waiste puckers oddly and isn't very flattering. Hopefully a smaller size will eliminate these problems. Color is gorgeous. Neckline and length are wonderful.

One of the other reviewers described the dress as boxy and I completely agree. It is not very flattering up top and it has a static problem, it clings like crazy!

I gave it 3 stars because it would actually make a pretty nice cover up dress, but I don't think I'd ever wear it for anything other than that. If you decide to purchase, order a size down. It is super stretchy!

The dress itself was beautiful on a hanger. Once on my body, though, it was a little...off. When I had my husband lace up the back, the bodice became a little lumpy and unflattering. The breast part was great, but the ribcage was ballooning out, which was NOT a good look for me. The red is absolutely stunning in person an the appliqus are well attached. The length was great (I'm 5'5), but I ended up going with something different for the event because the top just did not look good on my body type.
I'm 5'5, 155 lbs, 34D.

The dress is as beautiful as it is in the picture,very flowy and elegant.  It has a decent quality of material, and a  very sturdy built in bra with adjustable straps to secure to your comfort level. It is very long. I am 5'6", and around 150lbs and this dress drags on the floor. I was nervous about this purchase at first seeing my bra size is 36DD,and strapless anything typically hasn't worked for me, but with the internal bra and additional straps made me a little more comfortable. The only complaint I have is that it is difficult to zip up,and keeps getting stuck. I may have to get the zipper replaced.

The dress itself is beautiful, but the sizing was weird. My daughter is smaller for her age, but not too small. The sleeves were really snug, the length was really long, and the top portion was HUGE. I had to take in the back snap & completely close the cute opening to keep it from falling all the way down. I am rating this dress a 3/5 because the dress is beautiful, they shipped it super quick & I was able to fix it, but there were a few adjustments that had to be made, which cost more money.

This is a beautiful dress! My daughter wore it to a princess party and everybody loved it. It's full length and poofs out perfectly. The sizing is a little funny- the bodice is a small 3T but length of a 4T and it has an extremely wide and low neckline(using safety pins to hold it up). Probably because this dress is a pullover and doesn't have fasteners in the back. Also the filmy fabric along the skirt is extremely fragile! It's pretty- strands of silver and threads of pink. But its not really fabric  (think intricate spider web) and it catches and pulls on EVERYTHING! Caught on stairs, sequins on tablecloth, chairs, other fabrics etc. It tore as I put my daughter in her carseat on the way to the party. I give this a 3 star because I cannot see this beautiful dress lasting for very long due to the choice of fabric used and that it's suppose to be meant for toddlers.

Lovely colour and pattern but fabric is rather clingy as not lined.

Really a shame, as the fabric quality is amazing!  I ordered the pink in Large, I am 5'6" and curvy at 168lb with a 36C/38C chest.

I'll start with the good:  The color is gorgeous, a beautiful blush-pink.  The skirt is so lovely & flow-y in a double layer heavy chiffon type material (the double layer made it breezy but not see-through, unless you wore dark panties, then that would show!) the skirt fabric is heavier than chiffon and lays/drapes beautifully.  The crochet work is also lovely, neck strings are secure and don't feel like they would 'give out' and the bust-work is pretty tight yet slightly stretchy.

The bad:  If you are curvy & normal height (or tall) this dress ran short.  I expected it to be long, but it was above my ankles, not even brushing the tops of my ankles, very awkward length IMO.  The crochet top is well done, but VERY skimpy if you are ample busted or a little curvy.  I didn't mind a little bit of 'show' for my hubby & for our summer dinner dates, but this was just almost TOO skimpy (just one more row of crochet would have helped a LOT!  The dress is very "empire waisted" where it sat and if you are curvy this does nothing to flatter you, just makes you look preggers.  The cups being un-lined was not a 'big'  issue, you can always add a little cup/liner or petal to the bust.  I did not find them 'too' see through, but you could catch a shadow of the aureola if you were looking close.

If you are similar to my height and are not SKINNY (and if you have a c-cup or above) this dress will make you look dumpy (I tried it on & immediately sent it back). Very sad because the fabric & easy type style is really great......It would have been perfect if the crochet top extended another 6" up and 1/2" to the sides.

IF the skirt could sit just above the bum and there was more crochet real estate, it would look fabulous.  When I lowered skirt portion of the dress down it looked great but the cups would not come up to cover my bust at all.

As a little extra note, one thing I liked about this particular crochet top was the extra string from the side/waist, I planned to criss-cross the straps for a really comfy fit and no halter-tie.  It actually WILL work to be worn this way, plenty of string, but it (again) ends up sitting very high up on the waist and also high in the back.  Makes a normal torso look very boxy and short.  Hope this helps you!

The shell fabric is lovely - soft and flowing, with pattern just as in the photo. Unfortunately, the dress is lined with horrid, thick polyester. Instead of silkily flowing around the body, it makes it sit awkwardly, and just a few steps charge it with ridiculous amounts of static, so it clings and rides up. The dress I received was poorly cut, with sides hanging lower than the middle. The "long" sleeves are only 3/4, and the elastic gathering them is very tight - I found it uncomfortable after less than a minute. I wanted to love this dress, and was really looking forward to wearing it this summer, but the reality was extremely disappointing. Even if the fit was better, the lining makes it unusable as a summer dress, while the cut makes it hard to wear as anything else.

On the hanger it looked good.  But the dress was a bit large (hung loosely), yet the jacket's arms are quite tight.  So getting another size would not work.  The dress is very clingy (as in static) and didn't lay well.  I wanted to wear this to an upcoming wedding, but it just wasn't what I expected and hoped for.  Fortunately there are many lovely dresses on Amazon in the same price range, so I am exchanging it for another style.

I wanted to love this dress but it was just waaayyy too clingy. It literally shows everything and anything you're working with, good and not so good. The first 2 pictures you can see my underwear from a mile away, for the last 2 I removed and my hip bones are unattractively on display! And there would be no way to wear even laser cut underwear with this. Also it was a very odd length, like 1/3 the way between the knee and  ankle, which often happens when you're a shorty like me 52. For reference Im 112lbs, 34B with a 26 waist and got size XS.
The material is super soft, but unfortunately overall the garment just wouldnt work too many negative variables.

We  (5 of us) are wearing these as our bridal party dresses.  They are really beautiful.  The color is a very bright and true red, not muted or orange like the picture suggests.  It has classic lines and would compliment any body type.  The one major flaw of this dress is that is runs large.  Every single person in the wedding party wearing this dress has either returned for a smaller size or is getting their altered.  I originally ordered a 6 because of the Jones New York size chart on their website.  I returned it for both a size 4 and size 2 and ended up keeping the 2.  The dress is still a bit bunch-y in the tummy and lower back area so I may need to alter it anyway.

This really is a beautiful dress but order a size down if you want a decent fit.

Beautiful but the lining is too small- the outer layer of the dress is stretch fabric- but the inner not so had to return.
