The bust is tight, but it actually worked really well for me.  Did. It have to wear a bra, and gave me great shape.  The material is a taffeta like blend, which kept me cool during summer activities.  Loved the bow details on the shoulder.  

It fit perfectly around the chest.  The pockets were perfect.  Wore this to an outdoor museum and I became art.  Super classy fit

In many ways this dress reminded me of those cartoons of people wearing empty wooden barrels as clothing, two straps at the top like suspenders to hold it up. Google “bankruptcy barrel” if you don’t follow. Indeed, the material, though described as polyester, feels much more like some of my heavier duty Patagonia coats; good to know that this dress hold up in a snowstorm. 
Yet, despite these seemingly disqualifying elements—or, dare I say *because* of these bizarro features—this dress is amusingly lovely. The top is corseted and small; heads up there. The ties are yours to adjust. From there, you really are wearing a tent, and a very breathable one at that. Who knew gore-tex was light as linen in stifling summer heat?! You can wear this with flats during the day or add a kitten heel to go out at night. My only hesitation in recommending this dress wholeheartedly is the top, corseted part: it is tight and as other reviews have suggested may be better suited for smaller-chested ladies. 
Even if this dress isn’t for you, give this designer a chance. You’ll be happy you did!

I felt so gorgeous in this dress. Definitely intended for smaller chests, but it worked well for me. I did not need to wear a bra but a strapless still could have fit underneath. The fabric is almost structured, which is part of what I loved about it.

Loved this fit. A little tight in the chest, but the dress was comfortable. 

Obsessed with this one! Fits like a glove. Straps tie at the top so you can adjust as needed, empire waist which is perfect for a comfortable dinner date, bust would work well for smaller chested gals as well! A must rent! 

Loved this dress! Bust area on top was definitely on the smaller side making it a bit low, but not a big issue. 

I was worried about how the chest part would fit and if I'd be spilling over but it actually fit fine. I'm a 34c/36b for reference. I like the adjustable shoulder straps to secure in place. The dress steamed just fine. The material was tarp like which didn't bother me and really gave it the structure you see in the photo. Tad noisy if you're walking alone lot but I wore for a work event and then for Easter. This type of dress is the reason I love RTR. Def on the trendier fashion side and not something I'd buy but I loved wearing it when I rented it. Also had pockets.

If the girls are small, this dress is STUNNING. I am a small 34B and wore the dress with no bra, just some small Boomba bustier chicken cutlets to give me a bit more umph and *chefs kiss*. Definitely would not recommend for you more blessed girlies. 

Very cute dress, especially for the small chested girls like me. It fit perfectly but the boning and lining were a bit uncomfortable. I wouldn’t have been able to handle wearing this dress all day, but for a date night dinner, it was perfect. Love that it has pockets also. 

order based on your chest size! plenty of room in the skirt. super flattering on small chests.

Made my boobs look incredible and got so many compliments on it

this dress is so cute. i will rent again but will be sizing up. it's very tight in the chest even with very small boobs. 

Cool dress, funky material. Be prepared to show off your chest though, the cups are super small

material is very crinkly/taffeta/stiff. a very dramatic, fun shape! wore with knee high boots. the bust area cups are VERY small, anyone with any boobs would not be able to make this work.

Very cute! Fabric is a little stiff and funny, but overall it’s great. 

Ordered a size up and it was still too tight on the chest. I am an A cup.. Back zipper was also very difficult to zip.

I loved the design of this dress but it is not designed for anyone bigger than a B Cup. I was spilling out and couldn’t wear it to the event. 

This dress is super cute for a casual elevated outfit for a day out. I’m not obsessed, but still great material and very cute! 

Very cute but the fabric is very 'loud' and runs small. I sadly couldn't wear. 

The chest area fit weird and the cup almost didn't cover everything. I had to adjust the straps to hold it up but the cup is really small my boobs we're under the wire
