Gorgeous shade of blue
This dress is forgiving and flattering. I have a longer torso, but the curves hit just the right spots. It was a bit deeper V than I'd typically wear to a business dinner but received many compliments. It's a very pretty blue, almost a deep peacock shade.

Very Va-va-voom
Flattering silhouette! Made me look longer and leaner and created an hourglass waist. Love that I can wear it with or without a bra. Only downside is that it's not super wearable. It's too low-cut for weddings, family functions, or most semi-formal events. But it also feels weird to wear this to a club/bar/beach party because of the thick, stiff fabric and long skirt. But if you have the right occasion (maybe a casino night or super fancy restaurant?) this dress is stunning.

Elegant and simple
Perfect dress for a seaside wedding. It's pretty fitting and zips in the back. Definitely wear it with shape wear as the hip to hem is much like a cigarette shape and it's more comfortable with something underneath.

Beautiful dress work to a party. While I love the dress I would say the cleavage might be more than I thought as expecting & maybe not what some people want depending on the event. It was a bit snug in the hip area for me but otherwise the top fit like a glove

So comfortable
Great fit and just the right amount of stretch. A little low cut, but I don't have much to fill out the chest area, so might not seem too low cut with a bit fuller bust. Perfect length too. Color is gorgeous. Pictures don't capture how pretty it is.

The large felt very baggy on me so I wore the medium ( a smidge snug). I was very comfortable all night. And it is long enough unlike many of the cute styles out there!

Mommas, you need this dress.
I will start out by saying that I have 2 kids under 2 that were both breastfeed and I really hate starving myself - therefore I still have a hard core c-section mom pooch and some very saggy tatas. Finding a dress to wear to a wedding is hard. I am 5'10", 230lbs. 38D/40C. I have wide shoulders and a curvy bottom. And I have not lost the baby weight. The odds were against me, but this dress made me feel the sexiest I have in a very time. It's tight, but I promise it's worth it. Spanx it up.

Cute, but neckline is low
I was concerned about wearing the dress due to the plunging neckline. I rented it for a work related nice cocktail/dinner function and was worried it was a little too racey. It may have been, but everything else was so gorgeous that I just went for it. I did have to wear a jacket with it as it was chilly, but that may have helped with the low neckline as it toned it down a bit.

Stunning and easy!
This dress is a beautiful color and was so easy to wear. I am a true size 8 and rented a large because the medium was not available. It was slightly big and I suspect the medium might have been a better fit, but overall except for some gapping at the bust I don't think it was noticeable (I stood all night so this helped). Better slightly too large than too small. I got a lot of compliments!

A little big
I rented this for a wedding and it was kinda big all over for me. I have a small chest so the bust area was kind of loose. I used double sided tape to put some cup pads from a sports bra in the bust area which helped it look better. I had some gapping around midsection/hips but still looked okay to wear a length was good too!

Was invited to join the wedding party!
Long story aside, I liked this dress and its silhouette/color. But be warned, the front is a DEEP v. It doesn't look that and I am pretty busty (32 F), but I was not prepared for how much cleavage I would have on display, which got worse when sitting down. The dress doesn't have much give in the top; I had to wear the M because my chest was too big for the S, but because of this it was supportive enough to go braless. I did have to wear spanx because the midsection is not the most forgiving.

I absolutely loved this dress! It fit so well and I received many compliments throughout the night!
I'm 5'2, and wore a Size Small. The dress seems true to size and fit well. The top fit my bust (34D) well. I didn't need to wear a bra. This dress is definitely revealing in the chest. However, it was well balanced with a longer skirt on the bottom. I was hoping for more of a pencil skirt tight fit. The relaxed fit on the bottom ended up working well with all of the walking and dancing. Overall, I was very satisfied with the fit, style, and quality of the dress.

Comfortable and flattering dress!
Fit is true to size. I generally wear a 12, sometimes a 10 depending on the brand, small B cup and bigger butt and thighs. XL fit great - I could have maybe squeezed into a L but I wouldn’t have been comfortable! This dress was fitted enough at the bodice to be flattering, but was not restrictive. I didn’t need to wear a bra - usually this leaves me feeling a bit exposed, but the cut of the dress gave me enough coverage to feel very comfortable and supported. Fabric was top notch - thick with some give, traveled well (didn’t need any steaming after a 2 hour flight in the RTR bag). It also didn’t wrinkle after sitting in it in the car, during the ceremony, etc. This dress made me feel comfortable and confident - I would absolutely recommend!

Stylist Review
I love this cute dress by Dress the Population. It runs true to size. It has no stretch. Its comfortable for any bust size. I recommend wearing your true size for your primary and going up a size for your backup. Its comfortable in the midsection area. At 5’3 this dress hits tea length for me.

The xs was WAY too small in the bust... could zip it up but hardly breathe. The small was much better but fit a little long and a little loose in the hips (surprising, my hips aren’t narrow)... love the style and thick enough fabric you don’t need to wear a bra!

Pleasantly surprised!
After ordering this dress, I got really nervous about it being too revealing with the v-neck but it didn't come off that way at all! It's actually fairly conservative with the length and the fact that it didn't totally hug my body (which I didn't mind!). It was really comfortable to wear all night and I got a lot of compliments. I normally order a Large with an XL backup (since I feel like designer dresses run small) but I wish I would've ordered a Medium as my backup because I definitely had a little more room than I needed. Overall I really liked it and would probably order it again!

I felt confident and beautiful in this bust-bearing sheath
This dress fit like a glove, although I would have expected to fit in the Large I'm so glad I got the back up XL. I wore a u-shaped backless sticky bra to get massive cleavage and felt confident and beautiful. I wasn't worried about falling out of the top and enjoyed dancing the night away. This dress was a bit long, I would have liked it better if it was just below the knee instead of below the calf.
