Nice addition to

I bought two regular sized dusters. I am 5.9" and a size 12-14. The dusters reach down to the mid of my thighs so they are longer than I had expected. The overall fit is a little tighter than I had expected but not too tight.I was suprised to find that the fabric is very thin, so I think I will mostly be wearing them in warmer weather. Nice ways to wear these dusters are: as a knotted blouse over a long sleeved top (or instead of a knot, try a rubber band), or wear them over a long sleeved top, a sweater or a knitted dress and tie it with a nice belt. Overall I am happy with the dusters!

Wonderful!Thank you for this feedback, Tara! :yellow_heart::yellow_heart:-Claudia

Comfortable for Layering

These are beautiful! I love the patterns and colours. They are put together really well. I bought goddess size, but found them large (normally wear a 2X shirt.) Not a big deal, I would like to try a size smaller next time, to see how that fits. They feel like I am covered but its such light material, I dont feel like Im wearing it. I dont normally wear layers or jackets, but these are so light and cool, it was super comfortable!

You looks awesome!!Thank you for your 5-star review!:u1F970:

Disappointed with lack of color scheme suggestion option

I got two dusters. I have never purchased this item before. They seem nice enough, but I was disappointed that there was no way to request a color scheme, as there has been in the past when I ordered skirts. I ordered anyway, because I figured DGY would probably not send two of the same color. But they did. And they are a color scheme that I never wear. So I can't really use either one.

Hi there, we apologize for any confusion or disappointment with the available color options for our Amara Short Duster. We understand the importance of having a variety of color schemes to choose from and we will definitely take your feedback into consideration for future product releases. In the meantime, please feel free to reach out to our customer service team for assistance with exchanging your dusters. Thank you for your support! 😊-DGY Team

Beautiful and comfortable!

The short duster has a lovely pattern and is very soft. I had expected it to be longer on my petite frame, though (I would have wanted it to be about six inches longer), and I would have liked the torso to be about an inch more generous. You might also consider including a ribbon belt or a button and loop.

Hi there! Thank you so much for your lovely review of our Amara Short Duster. We're so happy to hear that you find it beautiful and comfortable. 😊 Thanks again for your support! ✨ -Claudia

Gorgeous!!

I was pleasantly surprised that these dusters are more monochromatic / matching than the skirts. I bought 2 to wear over solid colored dresses, and I am thrilled with what I received. I bought the smaller size, and they don't wrap all the way around my 41" waist, but they add a lovely drapey pop of color to my outfits. It I buy more, I will probably go larger so I can close them with a belt.

Perfection

I requested gold in honor of my childhood cancer survivor as I prepare my wardrobe for Childhood Cancer Awareness month and my duster is absolute perfection. It's a beautiful burnished gold with floral motifs and it matches everything!

Lifts my mood

This duster is so light and silky! Mine is a lovely sky blue with pink flowers and lots of sparkly bits all over. It's thin enough to be comfortable in all seasons. Very enjoyable to throw on over anything!

Soft and silky feel. Adds an instant dress up factor when wearing and packs in a very small space in a suitcase.

Did not pay attention to size and it's too small. But, I have friends who are tiny and I can regift them. I do have a problem and buy from DGY monthly, so I really am able to enjoy everything I get!
