Great fabric
Best if worn with a belt, in my opinion. The fabric is great for warm weather, but can be worn with a cardigan and tights when it’s cold.

Nice material!
Bought this for a date night and it fits nicely. I sized up because they were out of my size and I really wanted this dress but with the help of the belt, you couldn’t tell it was too big. I agree with the reviews I read before I purchased that it definitely needs a belt to give it some shape. I love the material. Only thing I would change would be to have the pockets lower.

Super cute
This dress is lightweight and so comfortable. I definitely will need to wear a belt with this, otherwise it is quite shapeless.

Cute Dress
Starting a new job with a new me and this dress was perfect! I’ve never been a dress wearer but this dress was a great way to start! The pockets were a nice surprise. I felt comfortable wearing this dress. I was nervous because my legs are chunky and I’m short (5’3) but the length was just where I wanted it to be!

Great staple dress
Loved this dress! Perfect length and material. Im not a huge fan of having my arms exposed so the sleeves were great and the thin material makes its a very light dress. I had the dress on for a winery visit in Mexico all day out and about and it has great! Only reason I didn't give a 5 star was the chest room was a little tight felt I would pop open a button. If I had picked a bralette probably would have been a better choice than a regular bra.

So Soft
This dress is buttery smooth! I love how soft it is. I bought it in my regular size 00. Only complaint is the top is just a little snug around my boobs. But if you have smaller than a 40DDD breast it should fit perfectly.

Beautiful dress
Loved this dress fit bigger than my usual size. Sadly they were sold out when trying to size down. I hope it restocks.

Buttons Gappy
Wanted to love this. It’s so soft and really cute with a belt as pictured in the image (not included but needed imo). The buttons over the boobs are just not strong enough or there needs to be a back panel to cover the gaps because my boobs are straight up showing. I’m a 48C, size 3 and Torrids clothes are not tight across my chest in anything else. Need to wear a tank underneath which is ok I guess but wish I didn’t.

needs A belt !!!
I am wearing this to work today and it is super cute and comfy i feel like i am in pjs, the only down side is you need to add a belt to this style. I wish it came with one. i also sized up in this dress so i didnt get the normal boobs popping buttons situation. and that was a good idea besides the waste being big but a belt would fix all these problems.

Very odd
Keeping it but so odd and doesn’t do anything for your figure. No structure, super thin material I’ll fitting.

Great if you are a pear.
I am apple shaped (or blueberry shaped, as I like to say) so this dress did not do me any favors. I'm sure if you are pear shaped it'd look amazing but us apples? Not so much..

All-around only OK.
Pros: Challis is soft and black is classic.
Sleeves were a good length with working wrist buttons.
Decent length.
Cons: Definitely needs a belt for styling. I asked for an an attendant to bring me one when I was trying on, because I literally couldn't even guess without.
High-set pockets so when worn with a belt, my pockets were half-blocked.
The part of the pocket that wasn't blocked, flared out awkwardly.
Bust buttons gaped open, pulling and looking unflattering.
I buy almost all my casual dresses in a size 3, or fitted dresses in a 20-22.
This was loose-fitting, except at the bust buttons.
As a seamstress, I can tell you it is because the arm-scythe is made too wide, so that arm movements pull unduly on the front button placket. This is common on non-stretch Torrid dresses with sleeves. When you raise your arms, the *whole dress* wants to ruck up because of the overlong/wide arm scythe with a narrow front-shoulder allowance... it doesn't matter whether it is belted or not.
I almost bought this dress as an upgraded (with pockets!) silky button-down night dress... because even styled with a belt the blocked pockets and gappy bust was just not suitable for day-wear/work-wear for me.
Sizing up would not fix the issue. Sizing down MIGHT, but only because there is a big difference between the size 2 and size 3 cuts I've noticed. I doubt sizing down would help the gaping buttons, though.

Not as expected
This dress is a bit tight across the bust, so if you are top heavy you def need to order a size up. I ordered my reg size (1) and didnt like the fit. 5 ft 8- 260 lbs bra size 40DD

Not flattering
The pockets stick out in a really weird way, it makes it seem like my hips are a lot wider than they are, and they're constructed in a way that it wouldn't be very clean to just sew them shut. Very disappointing, especially since it's not a cheap dress.

Fits Weird
I bought this a size up because I’ve noticed a problem with tops gaping around the buttons on the shirt dresses that don’t have more of a Henley style. It was waaaay too big and the top didn’t gape. Barely. The pockets stuck out weird on the sides and it really does need a belt. But that made the pockets stick out more. I returned it and ordered a size down and that one gaped at to top so my bra was showing and the pockets stuck out weird on this one as well. I had thought the first might have just been sewn wrong but apparently that’s the way it’s made. Sleeves are very long. Length is good. I really wanted to like it so I waited a day or two and tried it again. It’s just not good. Too bad because I love the way it looks in the photo. Retuning the second dress too.
