Beautiful color, strange cut
Size worn: None
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Party
I wanted to love this dress--the color is beautiful and the draping looked great in photos--but unfortunately, I wasn't able to wear it because the cut just didn't work on my body. The bottom portion of the dress, from the hips down, seems to run true to size, but the top was disproportionately large and loose. I rented a 4, which fit me on the bottom, but was way too big on top. The 2 was too snug on bottom, but better fitting on top. In both sizes, the waist didn't nip in as nicely as I wanted it to, and the draping looked messy rather than modern. Both sizes had the same overall effect of looking ill-fitting and making me appear larger than I am. That said, it might be good for someone with a true apple shape--large on top and very slim on the bottom. It was worth a shot, but sadly, not for me.
