I sized up two sizes larger than my usual size in this dress. Typically I wear a large. The size chart for this dress recommended XL, but I ended up ordering XXL because I wanted to be extra cozy for the winter months. Super glad I did! It's so warm an comfortable. I've only had it for a couple weeks, but I've practically been living in it because I love it so much. Highly recommend!

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE! A thousand times love. I have been a follower of Lindsay Arnold (who co-created this dress) for some time now and when I saw her review the dress on her stories, I thought it was perfect for fall. I am also thinking I can add some plaid accessories to wear this through the winter, too. I bought this during the end of summer sale and only the XS was left in sizes that would fit me. I am typically a true size small, but the fit of the XS on me is perfect. Yes, the leg slit is a bit higher but I think that's what gives the sides character, it is also not too high to where one would be uncomfortable. The tie in the front was the perfect extra detail. I styled it here with some white, textured booties. Can't wait to wear this every chance I get!

I really wanted to love this as I have been looking for a high quality sweater dress. They usually do try ons for curvier girls but only did a small model so I didn't know what size to get and did my TTS. Normally I wear between a small (smocked) and medium(TTS) in ICC dresses. I stayed with my TTS and the medium was really tight. It's harder to get over my head, tight in my arms, and tight on my thighs/hips. This just was not the most flattering for my pear shape -I gave it to my friend.

I am a size 16 wearing a 1X. The fit is snug, but with shape wear I feel comfortable wearing it. I love the fabric color and the fact that it is lightweight. My only issue is with the slits - they are way too high. I will try and sew them shut to make myself feel more comfortable.

I love this dress! I’m a true size small, so it does runs small. But I still love it and is definitely a keeper. I’m 5’2, 115 lbs for reference

Wanted to love…
The color of this dress is beautiful, but that was about it. The fit was so small and the fabric doesn’t have a lot of stretch. I am usually a medium in Ivy City and it was much too tight everywhere. Also the slit was pretty high on the sides and not something I’d feel comfortable in.

Made me feel amazing postpartum
Put on this dress and immediately felt amazing. The material is soft and works both in casual and dressy situations. Even though it’s stretchy, don’t size down like you would with a smocked dress. The slits are higher, but don’t bother me and actually make me love the dress even more!

LOVE IT!
I love this dress. It’s a nice nude/beige staple sweater dress. I believe it runs true to size. I’m not sure why it’s been rated so low. I love how the material is a little more fitted because sweater dress tend to stretch out of shape. I love the side slit it’s higher than I normal wear but I wore it to date night and my husband complemented me all night.

Perfect for almost every occasion
This dress is the perfect brunch, date night, wine tasting, etc dress! I have no idea why the other reviews rate this dress so low! It fits true to size if you follow the size chart.

Beautiful dress but fit was not right for me
The dress is beautiful. The sleeves and tie are great! However, it does run smaller. I’m able to fit into my usual small in almost all my ivy dresses (even being pregnant), but this was definitely a little too tight and the slit was too high for me. I Also have a curvier body type so maybe just not a great fit for my body.

Love it but was disappointed
It’s a beautiful dress! I want to love it but I think I just like it. It ran small. I am usually a XXS or XS I went with XS on this dress but I should have sized up to a Small. It’s mostly in the armpits and on the neck. I could barley even get the dress over my head. It was also kind of itchy but I’m sensitive to that stuff. I think I just expected more from the dress than what I got, so I was a little disappointed. However, it is a pretty dress!

Gorgeous, with tall slits
It’s a stunning dress, super comfy, fits like a glove, but the slits were insanely tall. If that’s a concern for you then I’d be cautious, if it’s not then the dress is stunning and has no issues!
I wear Garments, so I was anxious to see how it fit since I didn’t know how large of a slit it was (maybe Ivy City Co can include slit length details in the product description for future dresses? That would be a big help!) The size of the dress was perfect, and there is good amounts of stretch to the fabric. I’m a true XS (waist 27”) and I have no issues with sizing. The slits show about 4-5 inches of my garments (and my garments are stubborn and don’t hit my knee exactly).
I’m trying to figure out a way to alter the dress so I can keep it and wear it around. My mom and I made some temporary seams with a cross hidden stitch, I’m wanting to research the material some to see if I can take out the original side stitching so I can lower the slit in a more “natural” looking way.

Love it but runs small
I’m 5’4’’ 120 lbs - usually wear a small but decided to order a medium since the style seemed tighter. The medium is still a little too tight.

Love, but too short
This dress is very cute, sexy and posh, but not for garment wearers. I am 5’4 137lbs slim, athletic build and normally a size 6 in clothes. The small fit perfectly. I am not super tall and I wear petite garments. The slit is closer to my butt than my knee and shows more than two inches of my g’s. If you are not a garment wearer, this dress is great!
