TTS, great color, pockets!

Great dress for a date night. I’m very into ruffle sleeves right now and loved the shoulder detail on the dress. Quality fabric but not too thick. Pockets are a girls best friend!

Green charmer

Pocket. Braided. Signature Ulla Johnson attachment to the zipper in the back so it can be zipped sola? Perfect. Loved the color and flutter sleeves. Great romantic look

A jewel tone masterpiece

She definitely needs a hot iron before wearing. I usually select a size 10 in this brand but it wasn’t available so I went with the 8 and it fit fine. Others were concerned with the sleeves but I found them to simply add some more visual interest to this piece. They settle down after an hour or so, don’t stress about them. The waist is elastic and she has pockets. What’s not to love?

Teal green, stitched pleats & waist = perfect

Did need a little ironing/steaming, in my opinion. Such a gorgeous teal green, with an amazing stitched pleated skirt, double cinch waist ties, pockets, tie on back zipper to make it easier to zip by youself, and dramatic short sleeves. A little too dramatic? Maybe but I'll still have to own it someday soon. The arm holes were a little too wide, if I have to be picky. I'll sew them up a little after I buy it. At 5' 8 I'm about 145ish in the photos with a 34D chest wearing a size 10 in most brands. Easily fit my chest; my sister told me my boobs looked amazing in this dress at our family Christmas party. Yours might,too!

High at the neck

So cute, lots of complements but I probably could have sized up as it has a high neck that was a tad tight. Wore for Easter.

Compliments all day, but not my favorite

I wish the sleeves had scooped in a bit at the ends. I think it would have felt more flattering. But great length and the color is lovely.

Invisible Football Shoulder Pads

Sleeves were sleeving hard and with plenty of volume. Couldn’t get them to lay flat, and tried desperately to iron them into submission. Sizing and material was perfect for me and would be perfect for any pear shape. Ulla during the Summer is chefs kiss.

Good quality, weird sleeves

The sleeves need to be flattened down, otherwise they protrude in an extreme way. Thick dress, good quality, and lots of stretch in the waist for a flexible fit. I ended up returning without wearing because of the sleeves that stick out.

This was a lovely dress. However, it appears to be green in the photo but is teal and is closer to blue than green in person

Great color and extremely comfortable

I ordered this dress as a last minute add on and ended up loving it. The color is GREAT and dress itself is extremely comfortable. I got so many compliments throughout the day. I wore it to work with some flat brown boots which was a little more dressy than my norm. Could absolutely be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
