I loved the unique navy/pink combo of this dress when I saw it online and almost bought it right away, but like most women a sweater dress is something I need to try on before buying. It definitely runs true to size, but the first time I tried it on the sleeves and overall length were a bit too long and the cowlneck had too much material to adjust for a proper fit. Although the fabric was soft, I was uncomfortably warm in it so I didn't buy the dress. While browsing the after Christmas sales today I saw one left in my size so I tried it on again and voila! The fit of the second dress is perfect; the cowlneck isn't too thick and lays perfectly around my neck and the material on this one is thinner so I wasn't uncomfortably warm in it. I highly recommend this dress but if the store has more than one in your size try them all on.

Boxy!!
I am 5'2", 116 lbs, a reliable XS, but the fit on this dress has zero shape to it. It was so much too big in the waist that even when I added a belt, it didn't work because the fabric was all bunched up. Otherwise I love the dress, the weight is great, the cowl neck is nice. It does seem to attract a LOT of lint. I am still trying to decide whether to return it or try to get it tailored. If you are petite with a shape, be prepared for a boxy fit.

I bought this one for a friend, I work at The Limited, and she loves it. I bought her a 1X which is supposed to be a 14/16 but she's a size 20 and the stretchy knit fits her like a charm.

love it
material is so soft and cozy for the cold winter months
The colors of this dress are very attractive and I loved the idea of a longer sweater dress with long sleaves. Unfortunately, the overall fit was very poor on me. The smallest size felt big and uncomfortable. It might look better on somebody with curves. You definitely need to check it out in person before buying.

Poor quality material
I have worn this dress one time...the material is stretched out and the day I wore it I picked sweater balls off of the dress, my chair, and the floor...disappointed in the quality of the dress.

Wanted to love this, but....
I wanted to love this dress, but was very disappointed in the fit and quality. The dress runs really big. I'm a size 14 and the numerical 14 dresses by the limited don't fit me, so I normally get an XL when dresses are sized in this manner. I could have sized down with this one; it's huge! I also wasn't impressed with the quality of the material. It seems like it will shed a lot and be itchy. Unfortunately, I think it will be returned.
Several other commenters have noted that this dress runs large but I think it runs just large enough. I appreciate that it's loose enough to feel like a comfortable sweater dress but also has a waist to show off a feminine figure. I'm sure the horizontal stripes aren't the most flattering print for my butt but I love the colors and texture of this dress so I will definitely be wearing it through the Fall and Winter.
This dress looked really cute on the hanger, but when I tried it on it was not flattering. The dress was big and boxy making me look bigger than hopefully I am.

Cut Big, but cute
This dress would be really cute, but it is cut big. I usually buy a size medium in dresses because of the sleeves and because I don't like it when they cling to me. This dress feels like an actual sweater, but fits like one too. I would buy a size down or two. Needless to say, I'm exchanging mine at the store.
