Such a cute sweater dress. You will need some styling finesse though. It's a wider fit, but quite short for anyone over 5'10/11. Your bum will be covered (more covered than a mini-skirt), but it's still quite short for the season that this is appropriate in. Total hit otherwise.

I really liked this number. I do wish I styled it differently though. I think a collared button down under is really the move (preferably white) but I did get compliments and it was still cute with a thin black long sleeve turtle neck and black over the knee boots. 

I didn't love this on its own. It is really baggy even when sizing down but I liked it layered with a coat for walking around the Windy City in November. 

I read the reviews before renting and sized down to a small as I can be between a small and a medium and I’m glad I did. Great oversized look even as a small. Styled it with a blue collared shirt, warm tights, black knee high boots and an LV scarf on my head, and it was such a cute look. If you’re tall like me, it will look short, but I was happy with the length. I was plenty warm enough in 46 degree weather and got a lot of compliments :) it did have a bit of pilling on it, so some visible wear, but not at all noticeable in photos. 

As a tall girl I was pleasantly surprised by the length of this sweater. It was the perfect piece to layer with my shirt dress for fall. Overall, a baggier style, but that was just what I was going for. I wore it with sneakers for a coffee date and with boots for work.

The knit was quite thick and a little stiff for my liking. More narrow fitting and less slouchy than on the model (naturally). I made it work but I can’t see it looking good without something layered underneath.

Maybe a cooler girl can figure it out. I didnt love it 

There was no way this would have worked as a dress, even in a large. But very cute as a sweater vest. 

I could have gone with a small but I forgot that it was oversized. It still fit really well, I just felt like the length hit me at a weird spot. I wore this over button ups and turtlenecks. 

It was quite long, and at an odd length so used toupee tape to make the hem line shorter and it worked perfectly. Paired it with an oversized button up, but I considered it with a fitted black turtle neck too. 

Loved this dress with a black turtleneck underneath! It was very shapeless so I felt like it needed a little bit of interest which is why I added the turtleneck and scarf! Perfect for a sunny but chilly football game! 

I got the XS and it was wearing a giant pillow case. I tried to make it work, but only wore once. 
I would say it’s two sizes larger than marked. 

I don’t wear a lot of unstructured dresses, but this was very pretty and comfortable! Definitely needs to be paired with some under layer. Wore it for Thanksgiving :) 

Loved it wore it like 3x. Really cute as a dress, but if you order a size down you can prob wear it as a cool oversized sweater vest
