Got the blue tweed dress and the orange corduroy dress and noticed there are inconsistencies in fit. What's up with the zipper on the blue tweed dress? I read other reviews here because I was going to exchange mine bue I see it is sold out in my size. Looks like it's an issue for others, as well. I...t gets stuck on the horizontal hem around the bust area so it's very challenging to zip/unzip. The orange corduroy one is super cute, but the color is definitely more of a red. It also fits loose in the armpit area, even with a shirt underneath. I am a B cup and ordered a size L for reference. I didn't find either dress to be too short and I am 5'7". Both dresses are unlined except for the bust area --- not sure how the tweed will fare with pilling or washing. Wish it was lined because it seems a bit itchy. Both have pockets, yay! I love the A-line cut. Very 60s/90s! More of this style, please BR.
I wanted to love this dress. It's so cute but it has a very odd fit in the bust. My chest is definitely on the small side and this dress fit perfectly everywhere except the chest. It's very tight and not at all like pictured. I was going to wear it with a a turtleneck as pictured but it's so tight t...hat it looks like a corset. I have room everywhere else in the dress and I am not busty at all. Unfortunately it's final sale so I can't return. I wouldn't want to size up anyway because it would be way too big elsewhere

This has so much potential it just is not made for busty women. It has a boxy fit. It is also oddly difficult to zip without assistance. I think it should have had a size zip. I would love to try a size down (I went up based on other reviews about the chest being tight). But it isn't in store and I don't feel like ordering it again. Sadly, it will be returned.

Love the color and the fabric. The seam is too high at the breast and does not sit where it should. If that was fixed it would be lovely. Also adding a lining would not hurt.

This turned out to be a cute look. I was concerned that the empire waist would make the dress too wide, but this was not the case - it fits just right!
