Shrunk after the first wash
I loved this dress but after washing it (as per instructions) it shrunk about 2 sizes! It fit perfect before washing. Now, I cannot even close all the buttons. Very disappointed!

I absolutely love this dress! It irons well. It looks beautiful on. Hides everything you want to hide. But after washing it once (I followed the care instructions) it shrunk a whole size. It's short and tighter. Since this dress does not have much give to it, size up! I would had given this 5 stars if it didn't shrink and now that it's sold out I can't exchange it for a size up. I had purchased the med. I had room in the med too before washing.

If this dress had been a couple of inches longer, I would have given it 5 stars. I also wish that it had a bit of stretch, because it fits nicely when standing, but when I sit, the buttons strain (and if I'd gone up a size, it would have been too big). The arms are a bit loose, but I didn't mind. The ties at the waist are flattering and fun!

The fabric is incredibly soft and comfortably warm. The colours work beautifully together. My only complaint is that the plaid pattern doesn't match up perfectly at the side (but no one will really notice).

Loved the shape and fit of this dress. Unfortunately after one wash (following the washing instructions), it shrunk 2 sizes! Went from a knee length dress to a long shirt. Terribly disappointed in the quality.

Very comfortable and stylish. It creates and accentuates your waist so it's very flattering. Will be pairing it with black leggings.

The fit on this dress isn't quite right. It's great above the waist- very true to size. But the cut is tight across the hips and thighs, making it not very comfortable to sit in.

Loved the dress online...when it arrived and I tried it on I determined that although a bit short for my likely I'd keep it and wear tights or leggings under Tito

If you have medium arms you cant roll sleeves up ..it shrunk in the wash which made me so sad because I was loving it the first time I wore it

I wore this dress for the first time today. I'm a teacher and am on the floor all the time with my young students, yet this dress is so comfortable and just the right length that I actually forgot I was wearing a dress! I wore it with tights and tall boots, and I liked that it was light enough I could also layer a cardigan over it without feeling hot. I got so many compliments on it - this is definitely going to be in my regular rotation this fall!
