Beautiful flowy dress especially great for spring/summer - got loads of compliments on this one! 

Colorful dress that can easily be worn from day to night! With no stretch to the fabric, this dress runs small. I would definitely size up in this. It is great for any bust size - a standard bra may be worn with this. The belt causes the dress to be fitted at the waist. The flowy skirt allows for a loose, comfortable fit in the hips. The dress comes to about 3 inches above the knee. I would say this works best for hourglass, athletic, pear, petite, straight & narrow and full busted figures!

The dress is cute and flowy, and I really liked the design. It felt quite tight around my arms though. It was comfortable when my arms were down, but if I were to raise my arms above my head, it felt like a tight suit-jacket would..I was concerned they would rip! The sizing everywhere else was fine. I went with a 38 based on other reviews because they said it ran small. The arms was the only place it felt tight. Very low in the chest area - I wore a tank top underneath to make it work appropriate. I also added leggings because it's cold, and I thought it looked cute.

I want to stress out in Vegas one night… Where I ended up at a restaurant/bar and then Hakkasan nightclub. Everywhere I went I get compliments… One guy kept following me around telling me that I was the best dressed person in the casino. He said "no one dresses like that, no one else is dressed like you but everyone should be" It was a very strange but very sincere compliment for a very unique dress

I loved everything about this dress. I am typically a 6 or 8 in US sizes and wore a 42, which is a 12. I never would have guessed this was a 12, and felt it for more like an 8, so size up. Other people complained of the arms being tight, however given I went up 2 sizes, I felt like it was perfect. I am not chesty, so the plunging neckline was a bonus. I am 5'8" and it was perfect in the back, but I would have loved another inch in the front for the event I attended. The patter was great and I danced in it all night and loved the fit! 

Loved this dress. A little tight in the sleeves, but flattering cut.

Didn't look like much online but I got a TON of compliments 

Such a beautiful dress and very flattering fit. However, the arm movement is restricted by the fitted bodice.

I love love love this dress. I rented it for a party after work and since I knew I wasn't going to have time to change I paired it with leggings and a camisole to make it work appropriate. For the party I decided to keep the same look because I was more comfortable that way, it was a little too low cut for my taste. That day was windy so the leggings prevented from showing too much.  Compliments all day and it was very flattering for my body shape. I loved the colors too. I might buy it later but I will definitely rent again. 

I wanted to rent this dress from the moment I saw it. When I finally did get it, I loved it. The only issue is that I had to wear a cami underneath, it was EXTREMELY low cut. The skirt is also short and be careful if it's windy as it was open in front. But it was very flattering. I would rent it again.

Pros: beautiful colors, figure flattering, perfect for a woman confident with her curves 
Con- much too showy for work or even a date with my husband, if you are well endowed you'll need fashion tape or a cami 
Wish I could wear it, perfect for someone a little more brave 

This very pretty flowy dress is perfect for work and play. Only caveat is the v_neck design is a deep plunging c and I wore a white camisole unless you want to show of major cleavage. I am in between a 4 or 6 but I'm glad I went for the 6 (38) because the material has no give. My measurements 34D-25-42. it's roomy on these hips but just exact on my waist and I was comfirtable for 13 hours that I wore.. Literally from day to night. I paired with black stockings and otk boots because it was a chilly day in Washington. The colors are so pretty and did I mention that it flows!!! 

This is my second attempt to find my right size in this dress.  The waist fit but the torso was long (again) and the arms and shoulders were way too tight but super long!  I can't imagine the arms fitting anyone right.  I loved the overall length and the fabric is dreamy.  I would have ordered the next size up if it was available but the inventory on this has been limited.  I may try again down the road.

This dress was really comfortable and even tho it really didn't "fit" me, it was easy to pin and make it look like it did.  I pinned it in the front and back waist as well as the cleavage area.  I can imagine this dress is great for someone tall, slim and who is well endowed.  :)  It's really light, flowy and the print is fun!  Great spring dress. 

Loved it but was tight and short and low cut

This dress is really beautiful.  It was flattering and a good length.  Only issue i had was the neckline.  It kept coming open exposing my bra- fashion tape solved this issue.  

The print on this dress does not show up too well in the photo, so it looks even better in person. The fabric is delicate and the cut is really pretty. I'd rent this again.

No issues moving my arms, they are a little tight but I have broad shoulders. The 40 fit great, so it definitely runs small. 

This dress is tight in the arms and from the waist up.  It is super flattering and beautiful, but you may want to size up unless you have a small waist.  I wore a cami under the dress because it is so low in the front and I wanted to wear it to work.  Overall, I love this dress!

Stunning dress. Very flattering. I wore it twice!!

It is low cut, so not a dress for larger busts. 

Fits perfectly and is very comfortable for all night dancing. Would buy this if available for purchase!

the pattern is amazing, the the overlap w slight ruffles in the front of the dress is beautiful. i highly highly recommend this dress. i'm typically a 4, but wear a 6 in carven when items are fitted at the waist because i have a large waist. this dress fit perfectly in a 38 w a touch of room to spare. it a few inches above the knee, was so was bit high when sitting, but i'm short so it wasn't an issue. i had to wear a sports bra underneath because the v was too deep, but it still looked great. i cannot recommend this dress enough

This dress was absolutely beautiful.  The fit was perfect, not too short.  I got soo many compliments.  The fabric was light enough to wear to an outdoor spring wedding in Miami.  I did have to use some fashion tape on the front so you wouldn't see the front of my bra.

I am 5'5" 120 pounds and wore the 36 could've worn the 34 but the 36 fit very comfortably! I Loved this dress, it was so flattering and it hit me 2-3" above the knee. I have rented over 100 items, and this is one of my favorites! 

This print was so fun and elegant.  This would be a great dress for busty girls, my 32c/d was not filling out the top so I had to apply a lot of fashion tape.  Luckily I sized up to the 38, I think the 36 would have been doable, but only because I stand all day at work (standing desk).  I really loved this dress!!

I rented a Size 36.  Normally I am a 2 or 4 in American garments, so I'd suggest going up to a 38 if anyone leans toward the size 4.  

Super cute on. Rented for work. Too low to wear

Great fit for an hourglass shape.  I paired the dress with over the knee boots for a more casual look to a girls brunch. Without the boots, the dress would be too short for my liking. T he band around the waist hit exactly at my smallest part for a flattering fit.  My only concern was the tightness in arms. There is no give to the fabric so I was worried if I raised my arm too high or too fast I might bust a seam! The sleeves ran a little long for me too, but nothing that couldn't be fixed by rolling them under.  Beautiful print and cut. 

This dress looks much better on than in the picture.  The only thing is the neckline is very deep, so I had to wear something under it. 

I wore this dress to work.  It is very comfortable; a lightweight material but fully lined.  As I wore it to work I did have to use fashion tape to make the neckline a bit higher.  If I was wearing it out at night I would leave the deep V as is.  I received lots of compliments the day I wore this dress.

The material is lovely and the dress was very flattering on my curvy frame.  Everyone was right that you definitely need fashion tape.  Go on Amazon and order some now.  I told myself I would get some, but forgot.  The dress showed my bra for most of the day.  I wore it to an all female event though, so I just dealt with it.  I'm usually a size 10, and the 42 was snug, but fit well and looked good.

I had trouble fitting into this dress, and when I did, I didn't dare lift my arms too high for fear for ripping seams. I would live to rent this again in a larger size because the cut and shape were very flattering and I loved the color. It's a bit short and shear, so I wore it with tights and a camisole.

I should have ignored the US sizes on this, and gone with a 38 since I know that's what I am in European sizes, but I went with the 36/US 4 and couldn't zip it up. Decided not to re-order in another size. Quote my husband: "It's... a lot." 

Couldnt get it to zip...would try it again in a larer size

Something told me to listen to the previous reviewers! I was nervous about the dress being too tight on my arms per the reviews, so I decided to try the dress on in-store instead of having it shipped like I normally would. I am so glad that I did! The dress is beautiful in person, good length for a date night and was comfortable enough EXCEPT the arm fit. It would have been impossible to lift or cross my arms. Luckily I found a much better option in the store and was able to take it home same-day.
