From the description I thought this would flatter my pear-shape but it just didn't. Nothing was particularly wrong with it; it just didn't do anything for my shape...at all. A small was too tight in the bodice (I wear a small in Rowena and Willow to make the top fit) and a medium was just blah on me, despite the fabulous purple fig color. So disappointed in my miscalculation, but on to the next dress. I found Flora (M) to be a better fit, but still enough to be worth keeping.

I really wanted to love this dress and at first ordered the 2x as I have in other dresses from wool&. The darts made it fit really strange and it looked like I had little wings on the side of my bust. It was a little roomy in general so I exchanged it for a 1x. The 1x had the same issue - just not as drastic. Because the dress fit well otherwise, I took it to tailor and got the darts fixed. I realize I am not the typical frame- in that I am size 18 in most things and only a 40B. If you are a C or bigger the plus size will probably be fine.

I love the material and the cut/style. It is lightweight, but sturdy. The purple fig goes well with everything in my closet and I’ve been having a great time accessorizing. It looks great on its own or with a simple belt too.
I am only 5’ so it is longer on me than the model. I like it as is, but may get it hemmed ~2 inches.
The top is very flattering. It does loosen up after a few wears and will need a stitch to keep it closed for modesty.

First of all this color is everything I could imagine it being. Really is like a sunset color. I ordered the beetroot Isabelle first in XS which fit great but hit my waist a little higher than I prefer and was slightly snug in the sides so I returned and ordered up to a small which is also for great but a bit loose in the bust ( I will mention that my boobs are vanishingly small so this is always a problem).It was very hard to decide which fit better but overall I went the small for comfort level.

Beetroot is one of the most amazing colors and goes with so many different looks! I did a 30 day challenge in this 1x Beetroot Isabelle and loved the versatility. The length is below my knees and the crossover style on top gives a graceful flow. I also wore it reversed and it looked really cute with the higher neck. After several days of wear, the crossover part gapped a bit, but on those days, I wore a tank or other shirt underneath. After washing, the fabric tightened a bit and didn't gap as much. This dress also worked as a top, folded up and secured with a belt or tucked into pants. I love this dress and am now eyeing the Isabelle in Pacific!
