I absolutely love this dress, but giving 3 stars because they missed the mark on the zipper. Although it fits perfectly once it's on, getting it on is nearly impossible since the zipper stops above the hips--the widest area to overcome when one is stepping into a garment to get it on. Several more inches added to the zipper so it goes down further to allow additional room to get into the dress would have been a game changer. I took one look at the dress when I opened it and knew it would fit me just right so I removed the tags before I realized where the zipper stopped and I'd encounter the major issues I did getting into it. Had I known, I would have keep the tags on and returned it.

This dress is really pretty, I love the pencil skirt look with the puffy sleeves. The shimmer makes it so pretty and fancy
Loren J.
No stretch and very boxy shaped. If you have an hourglass figure it will be loose in the waist but very cute.
Natasha L.
This is hands down my favorite Ivy City dress! It is so comfy and warm for the cold winter months. It was unplanned but by friend at church wore the same dress for Christmas. We both love it!
Samantha L.
So cute, loved this for Christmas! Runs a little small if you are between sizes I’d say size up!
Stephanie B.
Beautiful, thick material! Amazing quality. I wore an XS and it fit perfectly! The waist is not stretchy, so I was happy I chose an XS instead of an XXS! This was my first Ivy city co dress and I will definitely be a returning customer.
Tiffany S.
Love this dress soooo much! Great quality and fits well!
winnie n.
Worked out great for the holidays. I might wear it again next year
Leah S.
Definitely a show stopper! I’m wearing a 1x.. fit well but definitely size up if you want to have a little wiggle room.
Taylor F.
Absolutely in love with this dress! I wanted something that fit well without being super snug on my hips for a little extra modesty and give for movement, so I went with the XS; although, I probably could have fit an XXS, but I think the waist would’ve been a bit too snug. The material has the perfect amount of thickness to make it the best winter dress! Hope this review helps someone!
My measurements: Bust- 31 1/2” • Waist - 26” • Hips - 35” • Height 5’7”
Naomi T.
Love this dress! The heavy material falls nicely. I usually wear 10/12 and the XL in this dress fits great. The sleeves are very poofy.
Tricia P.
Will return. Two large
Samantha J.
My daughter & I matched for her first Christmas symphony. So many compliments, so comfortable & so festive while remaining classic! Can’t wait to order more to match with my little lady.
Lauren A.
runs very small. Size up two sizes! Just wasn’t right for my 5’2 frame. Too tight in the hips in each size but perfect on top. Great fabric and print just didn’t work for me sadly:(
Shannon F.
We got SO many compliments on these dresses! I am so impressed with the quality of fabric and can’t wait to wear them again! I sized up my daughter hoping she can wear it for 2 years!
Jess S.
I'm giving this 5 stars because although I had to return it the dress is GORGEOUS. I bought 2 sizes, my normal S and a medium. I couldn't zipper either. The quality is so good though and the design is amazing. I am so disappointed but the dress is worth it if they have your size in stock :) I would definitely size up at least one...no stretch.
Samantha K.
I’m obsessed with this dress! From the style to the quality of the material, this dress is perfect for this Christmas season!
kylie l.
This dress makes me feel beautiful. It is very flattering for all sizes. It is my new favorite!
Amber R.
This dress was absolutely perfect for our holiday family pictures!! The quality is 10/10 and the fit was great in all areas except the mid section. I am thick in the hips and chest, so the stomach area had extra fabric I really would have loved to remove!
Michelle T.
The Holly plaid is perfect for Thanksgiving and Christmas because the colors could go with either! It runs slightly small which works for my tiny self, but I’d size up if you’re worried because there’s no stretch.
Ley
Loved this dress so much. It will give your body a curve ❤️
Lani T.
Finally got my hands on one. Got a size up from reading the reviews! Amazing quality!
Trisha R.
In love with everything about this dress!!! Fits so great!
Leslie
It’s beautiful, buy it! The perfect, elegant, mature yet playful (hello - puffs sleeves), Christmas dress! Fits like a glove, so much so that I couldn’t step into it, had to put it over my head. Keep that in mind if you’ve got hips or have a bigger chest. Five stars!
morgan S.
Had to return this! The chest area is wayyyyy too large for a size small. It was swimming on me
Mariel R.
Beautiful dress, great quality and very comfortable.
Firts time that i purchased in ivycity and I’m loving it
Bri
This dress is so pretty. My true size was out of stock so I tried buying a size down (a size up was out of stock too) and it's definitely too small. I'm so sad because the material is thick and nice and a little fuzzy.
Karla M.
It’s bigger than expected
Sarah F.
I’m obsessed with this dress! I love the thickness and quality of the fabric! The colors are perfect for the fall and the holidays! I’m 5’11 and love the length. The sizing chart is very accurate. I’m typically a medium or large. I bought a large in this dress and it fits perfect with a little extra room in the hips.
Devyn W.
I absolutely loved this dress! Obsessed with the length, I’m almost 5’9 and it was perfect. Fabric has a nice weight for cold weather!
Jacqueline S.
It was a wonderful dress! The quality was great. I loved the zipper detail on the back. It too was a high quality zipper. I typically wear a size 8 and purchased an 8, it was the right fit.
Jennifer M.
Love this dress! I can’t wait to wear it for a Christmas event!
It is well lined, high quality fabric. Looks just like the advertisement.
Sam
Perfect Holiday dress for dinner parties
Inna T.
The material is soft. True to size. Definitely obsessed!
Holly P.
This dress is everything I hoped it would be. The shoulders are perfectly large, the length and the only thing I wish is that this dress had pockets. The fabric is heavier than I expected so I hope it’s cold for Christmas. I’m in love with this Holly dress.
Chandra B.
This dress silhouette is so flattering! I want the same one in the white sparkly material. The puff sleeves are adorable - just the right amount of trendy puffiness without looking ridiculous. I just wish I had more occasions to wear it!
Katherine S.
Perfect. Perfect. Perfect.
Before this dress arrived, I was a little wary. The price, styling, and classic fit all seemed too good to be true.
But here we are. The dress arrived on time, is of impeccable quality, and is tailored to perfection. I’ve gotten a million compliments!!
Next time I need a beautiful dress, back to Ivy city I’ll come!!
Leisa W.
Runs true to size! Love the heavy fabric and feel so fancy! Can't wait to wear this Holiday season!
Danielle Z.
I fell in love with this dress the first time I saw it on the website and snagged it as soon as it was restocked! It runs small so I sized up (I am 5’4” and normally wear an XS, but this is a small) and it fits great. The fabric is thick and hides imperfections and the fit is so flattering. The sleeves are super puffy, so if you don’t like puffed sleeves, this might not be the dress for you. Major Anne of Green Gables vibes, if you know what I mean . It’s the most stunning holiday dress and I can’t wait to wear it this Christmas!
Kristina S.
Give me all of the puffy sleeves & plaids! This dress is so flattering and the perfect holiday attire. It is a heavier fabric, but that’s what makes it perfect for holidays in the Northeastern part of the U.S.. Perfect dress for couples/family holiday photos, as well!
Kal
Very puffy sleeves but in a cute way!
Melissa
Got my true to size XS and it fit like a glove. Definitely my favorite Ivy City dress. Such a staple dress for fall/winter!
Tyler K.
The fabric weight and the colors on this dress are amazing. However, I found the hip area too tip and the bust area too large. Did not suit my athletic frame.
Delaney W.
this is seriously one of my faaavorite ivy dresses!! I wasn’t sure I’d love it on me, but I put it on and my jaw dropped. if you are on the fence, get it. the puff sleeves are absolutely perfect, it’s warm for the holidays, so flattering, just… ugh. I adore. the baby needs to restock for my mini!!
Sorsha M.
This is a little tight as many others have mentioned but I was actually able to fit in my size small that I usually get in regular fitted styles (I’m an xsmall in the smocked) and it still fits great! Just a tad snug. Such a perfect holiday dress and such high quality fabric!
Melissa
This has got to be my favorite dress!! Love the print and material. I thought the sleeves might be too poofy, but they're perfect. I read the reviews and sized up to a small, but ended up returning for my true to size XS and definitely a much better fit. I feel I can even go down to an XXS for a more fitted look. (Size small was way too loose). For reference I'm 5'4", 25 waist and 32 bust.
Dhivya Rajalakshmi G.
The Dress was of great quality and the exchange process was so smooth , given that the first dress i recieved was a little small . Will defenitely buy again
Nicole U.
So first off, I really do love this dress. The plaid, the vibrant color scheme are both so perfect for a holiday dress. And actually what sold me on it are those gorgeous, dramatic puff sleeves. The material is thick enough to hold in my postpartum belly chub without making me feel super vulnerable and exposed. That being said, this dress is TIGHT. Surprisingly my hips fit okay but my bust was really really having a hard time. I really had to squeeze the girls in there and even then they were uncomfortably compressed. You can still make the dress work but be aware that sizing up is probably a good idea. I hope the sizing issues can be fixed because it really is an incredible dress!
Kennedy H.
RUNS SMALL!! I run between a small (smocked) and a medium (TTS). Ordered my TTS and it didn’t fit very well over my hips. This fabric had zero stretch. Also, the sleeves were pretty big for my petite frame so it was not the most flattering. I really wanted to keep this dress because it just looked so good on the models.
All that said, the material is heavy and such nice quality. Definitely worth the price point. I returning because I didn’t like the fit but would buy it again if they made it in an a-line skirt with the sleeve similar to the Vera!!
Hannadi F.
This is a beautiful dress! Great price point for such excellent quality! I am extremely pleased with my purchase.
Ilolay S.
I sized you and it was really comfy even postpartum! I think a size up makes it perfect! Love the fabric and the sleeves
Brooke B.
Perfect fit, and the colors are beautiful. I can’t wait to wear this one next holiday season!
Bali E.
I absolutely love this dress. It looks good on everyone, I've leant it to friends! It's such thick nice material.
Evelyn
I had originally bought a small and it fit fine but not perfect, when I sized down to an xs it was just perfect! I was very impressed with the fabric, it’s pretty thick and kept me warm while out in the city! I weigh 105lbs and am 5’3, I’m also petite.
Sally T.
This dress was a tad snug in the ribcage, but it is STUNNING! Despite the fit I absolutely love this dress! It is so classy, and perfect for Christmas pictures!
Ilolay S.

I ordered it one size bigger thank I normally would due to the reviews, and I'm glad I did! I'm normally a medium, but ordered a large and it was perfect. This dress is as beautiful as the photos, love the fit and the quality.

The Holly Plaid dress is sooo comfortable and looks so tailored. I absolutely love it! I ordered a size up and am grateful I did. I had ordered a large before and it fit but it was not comfortable to move my arms.

Beautiful Dress
I love this dress. Stunning thick fabric. The exposed zipper and the sleeves are perfection. The down side is while the top fits me perfectly, the hips were SO tight. I was able to alter it to make it work. Check measurements for sure!
Lucia S.
So flattering and perfect!
This dress is such wonderful material. I can see it being a heirloom. It does run a tiny bit small, but that worked in my favor.
Debra R.
Perfect holiday dress. I wore it to Ballet West Nutcracker’s Christmas Eve Performance. It’s such a beautiful dress.

Say YES to this DRESS
This was my first IVY CITY purchase and it made me a customer for LIFE! The quality is INSANE and the style and fit is spot on!!! This dress is same level as Anthro... so impressed!
Arianne
Glad I read reviews!
I measured in between sizes (bust and waist were medium, hips large) and I had actually planned to get the medium, but when everyone said it ran a little tight, I went for the large and THANK GOODNESS because this one fits like a glove. I think the waist must run a teensy small because it is the tightest part on this dress for me- I could not have sized down. REPEAT I COULD NOT HAVE SIZED DOWN.
The sleeves are a vibe. I feel kind of broad shouldered so I tend to avoid puff sleeves but I decided to commit to the trend and not over-think it. It’s cute! The fabric is really thick and luxurious- normally plaid can be a little cringe on a post-baby body, but the high quality fabric has a smoothing affect.
You won’t find a dress like this anywhere else. I know because I looked. I tried hard not to fall in love with this one, but here I am!
Krystal V.
Perfect Christmas Dress!
Love the pattern and material of the dress! It’s perfect for the holidays but I must say, SIZE UP if you are busty and have a wider waist band. I’m keeping this dress as it’s sold out in my next size but I definitely had to wear some Spanx.
Sydney N.
Can’t say enough good things about this dress. It is seriously so beautiful in person. I love the fitted style and did size up in this. The material is thick and perfect for winter. Can’t wait to wear this for the holidays!
Jesica H.
Love love love
Probably my favorite dress of all time. It's so cozy. It fits just right in all the right places. I fit an XL, sized up from my regular L.
Lende A.
The Holly is so classy! The material is beautiful, thick, and the gold back zipper is so pretty. Unfortunately for me the puff sleeves were too much, like football shoulder look So not for me, but it's such a quality dress!
Natalie I.
I was so nervous to wear a form fitting dress 3 months postpartum, but this dress made me feel so beautiful! I maybe could have sized down in the waist but over all it fit right.

This dress while beautiful was too small. I ordered my regular size and it’s almost like I needed two sizes bigger.
Rebecca F.
Lovely
I love the style - fits beautifully Andrew the think plaid material is perfect for Christmas in the snow.

Beautiful
Runs small. The fitting is off, other than that the material is very nice! I really wished the fit would be better
Fritzie M.
This is a beautiful dress, just didn’t work with me but I’m so glad I get the baby style! It fits a little snug and I mainly had an issue in the hips. If they make this dress in flared skirt next year, will definitely grab one!

Beautiful Dress runs small
. Beautiful dress. Constructed well , unique design. But I measured and followed the size chart. And though it zipped up. It ran extremely tight in the bust and chest and it was sadly sold out in the size up.
Anna L.
Beautiful but small
I loved this dress since I saw it and signed up for notification launch email as I knew I had to have it. Unfortunately, it ran very small. I purchased a medium ( I'm 5'7 size 8) and could not even zip it up. I was lucky enough to find a L and that is what I am.wearing in my photo. Luxe fabric and feel!
Trinity Y.
Holly Plaid Dress
The Holly Plaid is a very beautiful dress and so comfortable. The fabric, style, print, and cut of the dress are absolutely perfect. I am so in love with the puffy sleeves! You do need to size up in this one because the bust and hip area are snug, but one size up should do the trick. My TTS is a medium in Ivy dresses, but I sized up to the large and it fits amazing. The perfect dress for Christmas time. Thank you for another amazing dress Ivy City Co.
Lisa N.

Holiday perfection!
I’m never super thrilled about a pencil skirt but this plaid print stole my heart! It’s just the perfect statement dress for the holidays while being classic! I did need to size up but I love this dress and think it’s super high quality.

I’m well with in the measurements for the size I ordered but the dress was so unflattering and uncomfortable I had to return it. So sad because they were out of the size I needed.

Gorgeous Christmas Dress
Such a beautiful dress. Love the thick material, it smooths you out! I sized up one size. Fit everywhere but my hips. I have an hour glass figure that requires another size up. Applauding the sturdy BEAUTIFUL zipper, who knew a zipper could be beautiful?!

Steph T.
Let's share the positives. The FABRIC, thick, beautiful quality, stunning cozy colors. The sleeves are exceptional. The exposed zipper is darling and the pull is a bold gold that is . I also love that it is fully lined and that the lining is fully sewn in. With all that said, the hips are WAY too tight. I am an XS in the top and it fits me perfectly, the hips are a completely different issue. If I went off of my hip measurement I would have been in a medium, which would have left me swimming in the top. I also would not consider myself a "curvy" or "large hipped/booty" individual. This dress is a stunner no doubt, but the fit is just off.
Olena
Fabric and colors are very lovely and festive (green is my favorite color). However, the fit in the shoulders - too wide, it’s a bit off, makes my shoulders look very wide on my petite form (I am 5’) The neckline was also loose, not form fitting, I really wanted to love the dress.
Ordered size XS.
