Very fun dress. Not too comfortable in the middle. It was very tight but still wore it and loved it.

I’m usually a 4 but sized up to a 6 because I read where the mid area was a little tight. A 6 was perfect! Loved it

I like the fact that this dress is unique. As many of the other reviews mentioned, the smocking at the torso is very tight. It's also very long. I took the advice of a previous review and made it shorter by tucking it under snd adding my own belt. I liked it much better that way. Definitely couldn't wear the belt it came with. Way too small.

The dress fit great, besides the belt was a little snug I almost thought I wasn't gonna be able to wear it, but it makes the dress!

Love this dress but runs small. I would size up , I wore it but without the belt since it didn't fit. It definitely helps suck you in a bit . Well made and the color is prettier in person.

I really wanted to give this 5 stars, but the cut of the sleeves and drop waist aren't the most flattering on me. The smocking is tight, as others have said, but I was still able to move comfortably and breathe. The belt fit fine.

The dress doesn’t have much of a give as you are putting it on/taking off. It required a bit of contortionist movements to get into and out of.

I actually really liked this dress and I never like smocking, but the belt was too big and yellowed. It was so noticeable that I wore the dress once without the belt. It's better with the belt though.

Belt was too small for me to fit around my waist, but I liked the dress. It's unique and makes your mid section look slim due to the mid-rouching. Foley and airy, would wear again.

Received so many compliments on this! Runs pretty small!

Classic, cute, dress that was pain free to wear even when just a light touch felt like a punch!

A really cute summer dress! The dress is easy to get in - the belt makes the dress pretty tight but you can wear with or without it. Was really cute to wear to work! So glad I could rent it!

I rented this for work and got a lot of compliments from my coworkers and even some from random people on the street. I would have given it a 5 star rating, but the middle part that's ruched is super tight. Maybe if I had rented it for an event that was only a few hours it would have been better, but for my 10 hour work day it got pretty uncomfortable at the end of the day.

I wanted to fully love this dress but the mid section is extra long and the belt didn't fit around my waist even though I sized up to a 4 when I normally wear a 2. So I didn't wear the belt and just folded over the waist are. I think this dress works better on someone with a longer torso and tall.

Cute pattern and photographs well but I felt like a linebacker in this dress. Didn't leave the house. Also, surprisingly, I had to wear shape wear with this dress to smooth out the belly area. And, as others mentioned, the belt seems one size too small. I closed it but on the last buckle but just barely.

Part of me loved this, part of me didn't want to look like Little Bo Peep!

If you have a tummy, it's not flattering at all. It's very comfortable but I was pretty self conscious wearing it. The belt was awkward so I didn't wear it. I think it'd be great for a thin woman with no curves.

Not flattering at all. It's super uncomfortable tight so I'd say size up if you're getting this.

This was a very attractive, light weight, flowing dress that would be perfect for a variety of summer events. I wore it to work and out after work. The only problem was how incredibly tight the center was. It definitely sucks you in. I think I had rouching marks on my abdomen for hours after extracting myself. Also, I ended up shortening the bodice (which can be easily covered up by the large belt), because I think if you extend the bodice fully, it may be less flattering depending on your body type. I do not want a dress that is skin-tight covering both my middle and hips; middle was plenty.

Pretty dress, but size up! I thought since the waist was smocked I didn't have to size up and I was very wrong! Super tiny but very cute.

Not flattering for someone with a large waist.

I very long waisted and almost 5ft 10. This dress had a waist that was real too long for me. The fabric was ok but my spouse did not like the fabric.

This is a cute dress but the gathered middle is definitely made for someone with a tiny waist. It clings so tightly that if you have any belly at all. Otherwise fit was normal. Belt fits up high under breasts which made my tummy even more noticeable. Buttons at neckline are difficult to fasten, especially if you have long nails. I returned it without wearing it.

Runs small. Another shipment where nothing fit!

I wonder if it’s flattering on anyone

I can not imagine that the cut and fit of this dress is comfortable or flattering for anyone. It also looks nothing like the picture. The picture makes it look like it's pink and white but it is actually multiple colors. Honestly, one of the worst rentals I have ever ordered.

It does run a bit small. I'm normally a size 0 but it felt like a 00.

Didn't bother with the belt. It was a better line without. A stranger even complimented me on the street!

The belt made the waist too form fitting

Fits nicely

The belt size didn't really match the waist of the dress but it looked better without the belt anyway. The plaid is more plaid than the gingham looks online and has some blue in it. Overall the dress was easy and casual and I received a lot of compliments but recommend sizing up at least one size for a less constricted fit through the hip and waist.

Dropwaist tht is sort of tight. May not look great if you have a curvier figure.

clothes runs small. I wear a 10 had to order 12 and still tight

At 5'2' I swam in this dress. I have a long waist but there was too much fabric here for me.

The belt was too small and made wearing the dress impossible. The elastic material of the mid-section hugs stomach bulges, so shapewear is a must.

I knew this dress would be a wildcard when I rented but thought I would give it a try. The smocked section is a little tighter than I would have liked, definitely didn't want to eat a big meal and look pregnant. But the rest of the dress fit true to size and was a cute springtime number. Also as most others have said the belt was hilariously small. I have a 26" waist and I could barely even touch one end to the other let alone reach the first hole.

unlined madras fabric; needs slip

Nice dress -- brighter pink color in person. Would note that it's right around the center and the belt is also pretty small, but fairly true to size.
