disappointed
It looks way better on the picture than in person. Its bigger than expected. Probably because of the ruffle/frills it looks rather like pyjama top than something what you can wear on the street. One plus- its super soft (like every pyjamas should be). My good advice: if you are rather tall, straight-shaped girl and you like it, consider buying, but if you are pear-shaped girl think twice, unless you don't mind than your hips area would look wider than they actually are.

Tummy Issues
This dress is great if you want to wear a fitted dress but have some uncomfortable feelings about your little pouch...the one your friends tell you they can't see but YOU know it's there.
The dress fits true to size (i am a meduim (8) and 5"7 with a slimmer build) it doesn't quite hold you in because the material is kind of soft but the material drapes and covers in all the right places so that you don't need it to suck you in.
You can adjust the length of the dress if you want a shorter look or you can wear it to work with a blazer and a longer look.
I haven't washed it yet so i don't know if the color will fade or not, that's my only concern and why I didn't give it 5 stars. Honestly, it does seem like it will fade but hopefully I will be wrong.
I own other Velvet items and they haven't faded but they also are not black.

Tummy Issues GONE
This hides your pouch fantastically! You know, the ones your friends tell you they don't see but YOU KNOW is there...
The dress is comfortable and drapes in all the right places without being too tight. It's very soft so if you want something TIGHT that sucks you in, this is not the dress.
You can adjust the length for a longer or shorter look and with the longer look and a blazer, you can wear this to work and look pulled together. I am 5'7 with a slimmer build and I wear a medium (8) and this fit perfectly. The neckline is also a feature that makes this dress look like it DID NOT come from American Apparel. It's flatters your neckline in a way that makes you look slimmer than normal.
My only concern is that the color might fade after wash. I hope it doesn't but I'm just not sure.

Great dress....bought in black and it is my new staple. A little short (I am 5'6) but very cute! Flattering and comfy all at once!

Love it!
I'm so surprised about the negative reviews of this dress! I adore the color - it's unique and flattering to sunkissed skin. Of course it's loose - it's supposed to be (as pictured!) I wore it two days in a row and nonstop compliments. I'm a slight build, 5ft4. I wear it with the Eberjey Collette racerback bra in white underneath - looks really cute because you can see a bit of the lace and it adds a subtle style element. Wish this dress came in more colors!

Not Good
This looks like it could be a nice breezy dress for hot summer days or nights...but it is not. It looks like an old woman's nighty...maybe worse.

great summer top
this is a nice, casual top that looks good with skinny jeans and flats.
the neckline can be adjusted for a more gathered look or loosened for a more open neckline.
the material is light and gauzy but not see through
arms can be folded up for three quarter length or let down
great quality as expected from velvet!!

Love it
I am in love with this dress. I'm pregnant, and this dress looks amazing, I get so many compliments! The fabric is of a nice quality, and is not sheer at all (which is sometimes a problem with snug fitting knits). The length was perfect, and the contrast woven fabric at the hem is a nice detail.

LBD
This is an awesome LBD. Great for a night out at a club or something a bit semi-formal. The scrunching and ruffles on the side help hide any wobbly bits you may have. Will be great with a pair of pattened stickings and ankle boots. Im sure il be wearing this many times.

Cute dress although slightly shapeless
Usually Velvet dresses are reasonably formfitting, even for a petite person like me - this one is a bit blousy. It's wearable but probably better on a taller/bigger person. These dresses are great for summer - daytime with flats and a tote, nighttime with heels- so I would probably have kept it if the Susana Monaco version were not so much better on me.

slinky, sexy dress
This dress is a great length (maxi, but it does not hit the floor without heels and I'm 5'8"). The only thing is that the top slides down a little bit (nothing a little double-sided tape can't help) and visible panty lines could be an issue if you're not wearing the right undergarments. Overall, a great fit so I'm keeping it. Plus, the white is double-layered and not see-through...yay!

Love this dress!
I snagged this dress in a size small, cobalt after checking shopbop frequently for it to come back in stock. I am so glad I got it! The dress is a beautiful color and fit well. I am usually a size 2 (5'4", 116lbs) and a size small fit really well. The ruching is very complimentary as well.
