    Tried it on because the color is beautiful, but just clung in every which direction.

    Great pattern but not wearable and not lined

    The pattern and top of the dress I like a lot. However, the dress is not lined and it clings to my legs - looking like it's wet and it bunches in spots. To wear this dress I'd either have to pay for a tailor to line it or buy a slip skirt. Either way the dress on its own isn't wearable and for the price I shouldn't have to buy more items or get it fixed to wear it. Unfortunate!

    Very flattering cut

    I ordered 3 BR dresses for an upcoming wedding and out of all 3, the feel of the fabric on this one was the thinnest and least impressive, but I must say, out of all 3, it was the most eye-catching and flattering for my body type once I put it on. I'm 5'5, 135, B cup, somewhat sporty build and have a little tummy pooch/extra skin after having kids. The cowl at the top is perfect for going bra-less and the shirred fabric in the front perfectly hides my liitle pooch. A very drapey and wispy dress that will be perfect for an April wedding.

    It feels so cheap. I bought it on sale and it still didn't feel worth it. I love the look they were going for but they fell short on this one

    Comments about Matte Silk Cowl-Neck Backless Maxi Dress

    My measurements are 34 bust, 28 waist, 36 hip. The small was a bit big around the bust, though I fear the xs would have been to small. The fabric was not as silky as I thought but still smooth and nice. Decided to return due to sizing and fit. The back drawstring is a nice touch. I did like that the back shows a bit of skin while keeping lots of coverage in the front.

    Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

    So cheap

    I adore the print of this dress and appreciate that it comes in petite, but I'm honestly shocked by how cheap it is for the price point. Unlined, thin fabric, and the fake cowl neck panel is egregious. I bought on sale and it's still not worth it. What a shame for a brand that used to be known for its quality.

    Comments about Matte Silk Cowl-Neck Backless Maxi Dress

    Overall I really like the cut of the dress. Size 4 petite was perfect for my 34b, muscly upper body. Surprised at how much extra room there is still despite l my 29" hips for the size. Would not recommend for someone with over C cup. The folds will be great to distract from the belly. Don't love how the back lays on my bum — the bow has a weird fold to it. #sweepstakes

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

    Beautiful fabric and print!

    I wanted to love this dress- the print is gorgeous and the silk crepe exquisite. That's where it ends- the dress is poorly constructed with the "cowl" being a flap of fabric sewn at the top. It is not a true drapey cowl sewn in. This makes the dress look cheap and for larger busted gals it might just flap over your bust. The back tie was a nice thought over a heavy zipper but the side ruching makes it a challenge to tie it so the back lays flat over your bum. At this price point I expected this to be expertly sewn and perfect off the hanger.
