In ML Monique Lhuillier SIZE UP
I have never in my life even came close to wearing a size 12 and that’s what I had to do in this ML cocktail dress. I had gotten a different ML dress in a size 8 and 10 because everyone was saying to size up. I am normally a 6 so I thought an 8 and 10 would suffice. Nope, it did not. The 12 in that style still was too tight but this 12 did fit. I’m a 34DD 140 pounds 5ft tall for reference. Let’s talk positives, this dress was so comfy!! It wasn’t restricting in the arms which I was nervous about because of the bow. It was sparkly when the lights hit it and it was the talk of the event in the best way possible. Perfect for a cocktail attire event and it is very flattering on even with having to majorly size up. Overall 10/10 I would just make sure to size up off the bat in the future with ML but amazing quality, looked flattering, made me feel confident and got so many compliments!!

Loved this dress! Wore it for my best friend’s rehearsal dinner. It is a black dress with a beautiful blue shimmer, I paired it with dark blue suede pumps. Definitely recommend sizing up as it runs small and has a built in bustier that really pushes the girls up. For reference I’m usually a 0, rented 2 and it was very tight up top. Would highly recommend and rent again.

Listened to reviews and sized up two sizes and too large
First I love this dress, it is beautiful! I am usually a 6 and ordered the 10. It was way too large around the chest, shoulders, and arms. Ended up ordering the 6 and while it was a bit tight around the hips the chest was perfect. Th 8 was loose around the chest and perfect around the hips. Sigh… but overall it worked out well and recommend getting only one size larger than your true size maybe even ordering a back up size.

Size up!
I knew if the model was wearing a 4, I would be much larger so I ordered an 8 and a 10 while I’m typically a 6. The 8 was tight and the 10 was so baggy. I ended up going with the 8, but it was a slightly uncomfortable evening.

Cute!!
It’s more navy in person and has a little sparkle to it. I thought it was cute and looked good on. It does run small but I could make it work for a night. The only complaint is you can’t raise your arms much with the sleeves. Size up and you’ll be good.

can't wait to rent this again!
Omg, I can't wait til I have the right event to wear this to! Originally was going to wear it for an opening night, but ended up going with something else. Definitely was snug, but sizing up two sizes from my usual size was the right move. So so cute and super flattering.

This dress is absolutely fabulous but you definitely need to size up at least 2 sizes.

Beautiful but tight
Loved this dress and was sad I never had an opportunity to wear it. I would probably size up next time i rent it! it was pretty tight especially in the bust area so if you have a large chest i would recommend a size up. Overall a super flattering dress especially around the mid section. Will definitely rent in the future

Way too small for busty women
I heeded the advice of others and sized up 2 sizes. I was able to zip it up but it smooshed my chest and was not flattering. Also, the fabric straps to hang the dress were made of a hard paper-like material and they stuck out no matter what I did to try to keep them in. I didn’t end up wearing even though it was very pretty and a gorgeous color.

Runs Small
This dress runs I would say 1-2 sizes small. I will say I reserved this dress earlier this year and there were no reviews at the time to warn me, I see now there are. I would not have gotten my normal size I would have sized up 1 and 2 when I ordered. The dress is really pretty and the bow detail really does show off the shoulders and neckline in a very feminine way. I was very much hoping to wear it to a Christmas party. It is a very pretty dark dark blue not black. I still recommend this dress but only if you size up for both sizes.

Sized up and still bunched funny
I sized up two sizes so it would zip like other reviewers said, but it bunched funny over my butt in the back, so I couldn't wear.

Two sizes too small
I rented this for my engagement photos, I absolutely love the dress, but it runs small. I’m a true 12 but I couldn’t zip the top half. If you have boobs like me, I suggest sizing up! Outside of sizing, the dress is absolutely gorgeous.

Definitely size down A LOT. Very cute design but not at all true to size. I am a true 12 and couldn’t get this even close to being zipped in the back.
