More a sexy dress than a basic
Very, very form-fitting and exactly as described - a long, tight, fishtail-hem black turtleneck dress in a stretchy fabric. My husband compared this to a Leger bandage dress - that's how tight it is. I would not wear this to work without a jacket over it. That said, with something (a cropped sweater, jacket, etc.) to offset the sex-bomb nature, this dress could be one to live in through winter. It looks awesome under a leather jacket. I kept it!

Sized for a clown tent ;-)
These look amazing on the model, but the proportions listed don't make sense. I am usually a 24 in Rag & Bone and ordered a 23 as these looked baggy.
They are not just baggy, they are gigantic, even in the waist. The fabric is nice although the cut is very boxy; they might be cute on someone very tall, but I'd suggest sizing down at least two sizes...maybe three!

Cute, simple basic cashmere turtle
Pretty dark berry color and a nice change from black or navy. Not the most flattering shape, a little boy-cut, but will be cute with jeans or a skirt.

Not wearable due to fabric
The bomber jacket part of this is VERY cute and cropped and it's a nice peach tone with rose gold hardware. The sleeves are very dramatic - too much so IMO to wear to work, so it's an evening or dramatic day off vibe. The problem is that the silk crepe fabric wrinkles if you so much as look at it, meaning that within minutes those billowy sleeves will look pretty terrible. I'm sad to say this one is a return.

Larger than described
I'm usually a 24, and bought a 24 in these - they were very loose. Classic Levis like this need to be bought quite tight so they stretch. I would have needed at least a 23 for that.
I think if you can get the right size, these would be very flattering.

Good if you luv 80's stretch-denim look
Nicely made but very stretchy as I should have expected from 6% elastane. I think ankle-fray jeans work better with less stretch. It's a specific look, cropped stretch jeans, and if you love that look you may love these.

Very pretty off-shoulder look
This very popular top definitely fills the spring need for a shoulder-baring, loose piece. I'm a small 00, this is already a loose, full cut, and the 0 is big enough on me to look tunic-y - I would only wear with slim bottoms or something voluminous and avant garde
That said, the fabric is nice, it's not at all see-through - refreshing in a white top- and the shape at the shoulders is lovely. It's NOT elasticated, it is a fitted neckline, so it's not so easy to move around in but it looks much better than a stretchy neckline would. I'm keeping it, expect a lot of wear, and would consider getting the black should it go on sale.

Pretty, but such cheap fabric
This is a lovely cut for a dress, sweet and sexy at the same time. Just the right amount of skin. But the fabric feels cheap and is so see-through that the loops for hanging will show through - you'd have to cut them off. This is at best a $350 dress, not a $700 dress. I find this common with Elizabeth & James.
I'm a very small 00, took the smallest size and it fit, so it is cut quite small, however the length is very, very long, so petites would be stuck with a lot of alterations. RETURN.

Pretty dress, slightly funky cut
This dress is very tight in the torso with a big bell skirt, so it has a bit of a ballgown look. As with most Self-Portrait, I think the quality is a bit lacking, but it's a "pretty" dress for a spring wedding or similar.
I'm a 00, very small size, but a D-cup (30D), and my girls would need some serious tailoring to stay in this dress. I would recommend it for the A to B cups among us, on whom it may be amazing.

HELLO LOVER. Great versatile dress.
I wish this came in a million colors. It's just a simple, loose, silk shift with HUGE bell sleeves. Very comfy - not at all body conscious, but not a schmatte either. It's quite conservative in the sense that it covers everything but your legs - work worthy without being boring. I see this in the summer with anything from flats to pumps (work) and in the winter with tights.
The silk isn't luxurious but it's ok and feels nice.
I bought a 0 and it fits well (5'1", 94 or so) - the very loose shape leaves a lot of room. The sleeves will need shortening so keep that in mind if you don't have reallllly long arms.
