This dress fit perfectly! It is one of the few dresses that had straps that weren't adjustable, but actually fit me well. The only down side is the zipper is in the back and it can be a little uncomfortable when sitting.

Overall felt great in it, but it was a little tight and no extra give in the fabric. The bottom flares out a little more than I would have liked, but gave me room to eat a big meal without it showing in the dress

The wide waist was very flattering, fit true to size. Would likely not work for a bigger chest, but great for a small one! Length makes it feel more formal.

Fit true to size, flattering

The dress itself was fine however there was stitching on the chest that my boobs could not fit. It was a size 14 and very small area in the chest. Was not able to wear.

Rented this for a summer wedding and wanted it to work out so badly. The top of the dress did not fit the way I thought it would - it was super baggy and for my 5'5 frame it didn't drop at the waist but more my hips. I'd definitely size down.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to wear the dress for my event. I was very happy to receive the items before my rental date. It gave me time to find something else to wear since the dresses didn't look right on me. The dress has a higher slightly gathered waist that gives the look of a larger tummy area. The pictures on the site don't show the dress from the angle to be able to see it. It's a lovely dress and the quality seemed very good.

Looked dowdy and large on the bottom and then way too tight on the top. Not at all flattering on my curvy figure. I felt like a sausage on top with a tent on bottom. First dress in a long time I've had to return right away. Wanted to love this dress from Draper James. Yikes.

This is a beautiful dress - it fits true to size. The full skirt and length swamped me a little bit. The detail is gorgeous and it looks elegant and expensive. Too formal for everyday (I should have known based on pictures!) but would be ideal for an event.

fit was perfect!

This was a nice dress that was not too fancy yet not too casual - perfect for engagement photos. However, not the most flattering style for small bust. Since I couldn't fill out the top it made the material bunch up a bit.

Nice pattern, perfect for a casual wedding but the top was at least a size too large

Beautiful floral design but the heaviness of the fabric made my pear shape super peary! I really liked the ribbon straps!

This is such an awkward dress. It's theoretically really pretty, but it just didn't do anythign to flatter my figure and I wound up not wearing it. It did fit, but it felt kind of big all around (although the bust fit me just fine, and I know other folks have had issues with that). The waist was the real issue. It isn't quite a drop waist, but it hits at an odd spot and the thick fabric gives such a weirdly poufy effect right at my slimmest spot - it just wasn't flattering. The quality is really nice, but the cut is odd. Maybe this would work for some, but it just made me look bigger than I am, instead of sweet and dainty like I'd hoped.

This is a beautiful dress with great fabric, however it was too small in the bust to the point where I had cleavage and my chest was spilling over the top when I zipped it up (which looked very awkward for this type of dress!) so unfortunately I was not able to wear it. I sized up one size based on other reviews I had read and the dress fit perfectly everywhere else, but there is absolutely no give with this fabric. I would rent again and size up further because it is a beautiful dress.

Small height of fabric for chest. Fabric weight nice.

It's so hard to rate this 2 stars. The dress is absolutely beautiful; the weight and detail of the fabric and design are just lovely. But it is BIG. I got a 6, and while I may be on the slender end of a 6, the entire waistline of this dress hung and didn't even come close to touching my waist. Had this been pulled significantly in (or I had a size 4), it could have been a winner. Also: I was surprised by the weight and quality of this dress. It is not light or flimsy, and would be great for a wedding or important summer event.
