"Seeing this dress was love at first sight! I think the embroidery details are absolutely beautiful and the green sash accent. The dress does fit a bit short, however, and better for those wishing for a shorter style or are shorter in stature. Fabric is soft, styling is comfortable. Overall, a great dress!"

"I own a number of Floreat dresses, but this one won't be joining my collection. This dress is of very poor quality. The fabric is flimsy and cheap-looking (the kind of thin black twill that serves as a magnet for lint) and the construction is just generally poor. As others have noted, it's also incredibly short. I wouldn't even consider this dress unless you're 5'4" or under. I'm just over 5'6" and the length of the dress looked ridiculous. Cute idea, bad execution."

Pros: very pretty, flattering fit, not too short
Cons: not the best construction
"This goes well beyond the basic LBD. I loved the look of the bright flowers and the shining grass green sash against the stark black. The back has a small panel of smocking which gives a bit of leeway on sizing, which is great for the well endowed. The straps easily accommodate a regular bra, which is nice. The fabric of the body of the dress seemed to be medium weight and decent quality and fit true to size. My only concerns were the flowers, which aren't embroidered onto the dress, and looked to be peeling away slightly in a couple spots. Also, some of the stitching looked a little iffy, especially around the smocking. I'd get this if it got discounted once more."

Pros: fit, good for curves, good fall transition, versatile (casual or dressy), embroidery
Cons: hem broken on 1 dress in store, other quality issues
"I hesitantly even tried this dress on as I was searching for a dress for a bridal luncheon in North Carolina 2 weeks after labor day. I was having a terrible time trying to find a fun, festive dress that would be appropriate for the HOT weather, the event, and the post labor day rules that do still apply in the South (sans florida).
This dress fits SOOOO well! I'm curvy & like dresses with structure & I got tons & tons of compliments on this dress - & how small it made my waist look! :)
I would add though - that I chose to fold the green ribbon in half & tied it in a bow in the back.
Oh - I also found an amazing pair of green satin heels and dressed this up for a dinner party/cocktail the other night - this dress rocks!"

"I'm 5'5 sz. 0 and this dress was purrrrrfect! I liked that it is a a shorter fit than the usual dress at Anthropologie because it gives the classic 50's cut an edge/modern take. I have a very long torso and shorter legs and this dress was just wonderful!"

"Bought this in the store today. Was looking for a vintagey, ladylike but not fussy date dress, and this was it! The above-the-knee length (and hidden pockets!) makes it modern, and I dare say the slightly high waist might be intentional, to complement the higher hemline- at any rate, it's lovely. Very classic and could be accessorized a bunch of different ways, even into fall with opaque tights and a cardi."

Pros: everything
Cons: nothing
"I was saddened when I read everyone's reviews because this dress fit me PERFECTLY and just looks FANTASTIC on! When i tried it on and stepped out of the fitting room the attendant gasped and said it looked like it was made for me. And i felt that way too (i assure you he was honest about other ensembles, so it wasn't a salesman thing). The length fell to a very demure lower middle thigh, and the waist band wrapped right around my waist. I am 5/5" and i took a size 4. Perhaps i'm just not as skinny as the other girls, enabling me to take something larger than a 0, but it is PERFECT!"

Pros: nice embroideries & color!, cute as it is..., grreat for the price!
Cons: too short!
"I love the dress for its overall design but it is just too short. I am a 5'8 and size 14 is way too short.
I have a an average torso but the top part is way too short, and the bottom skirt is hanging above my knees. The dress is so cute with embroideries & awesome colors. It will look good on me as * If I am a petite size. I am returning the dress for something else.

Pros: cute applique design.
Cons: way too short waisted., way too short., regular fits like a petite.
"This dress is way, way, way too short in the waist and in the total length. The "waist" hit right below my bust and it was obvious from the darts that it's not supposed to be an empire waist. The total length was obcenely short. The regular fit like a micro petite. I sent it back."

Pros: cute design love the eye-catching flowers.
Cons: a little short even for my short frame.
"I thought size 0P would work for me, since I am only 5'0". Alas, the 0P was so short and the top half of the dress covered only up till 2" under my chest.
Exchanged for regular 0 and the only minor complaint I have now is that the armholes are a little big. I am still going to keep this dress since the green sash is so adorable and love the appliqued flowers."

"I wish this dress fit better but since I am slightly long waisted it was a bit short. The shape could be better. You really have to be the perfect size to wear this. Its really cute though!"
