Perfect for hot weather. Lovely dress and flattering 

I am 5'1 and this dress was a perfect maxi. Very easy to wear and comfortable! Will definitely rent again. 

I’ve rented this for home and I rented it again to take on vacation. I can’t tell you how comfortable it is. And no bra needed for me which is always a huge plus. The small ran a little big on me but the x-small was perfect. I don’t have a full chest so I just didn’t fill out the top of the small enough.  Still extremely comfortable and I still wore it, just a little looser fit. Light weight and airy. Not see throw at all. The best!

Loved this dress and just had to purchase it! The color and fit are extremely flattering and adjustable straps make it comfortable and easy to wear. 10/10!!

Wore for dinner on a baby moon beach weekend. Very light and had a lot of room for the bump! 

Loved the fit, the look, I felt gorgeous in it!

I’ve been obsessing over the Ciao Lucia and am so happy I decided to rent this dress. It was so incredibly flattering and I ended up wearing it several times on vacation. 

Truly the easiest dress to just throw on. I wore a nude strapless bra with it and it wasn’t seen. So lightweight and breezy ( wore in 100° weather ). Pockets! Loved it!

I loved this dress by Ciao Lucia! In my opinion, it runs true to size with stretch around the waist. I recommend renting your normal size. This style is fitted throughout the midsection, and flowy and looser at the hips. It was comfortable with my larger chest. You can't to wear a standard bra with this dress due to the thin straps. At 5'4, the length was a little longer on me as a midi length dress. The dress looks like the model photo and is great for summer. The pattern and colors on the dress is amazing in person, and the flow of this dress make it girly and fun. Pair with a heeled sandal, or a white or red sneaker to dress it down!

Loved this dress! So flattering and received lots of compliments! 

Loved this dress. Was so easy to throw on and COMFORTABLE. Also, perfect for a hot day as it is light and flowy. Will rent again!

So comfortable and flattering!! Fantastic color, good material. Will be renting this again 

This dress is smocked through the middle, and fit perfectly! I love the color and print and will rent this one again!

Whoops got engaged in it! Might have to buy! It really is flattering on my shorter torso and felt so pretty in it. The fabric is super thin and feels not the most expensive, but it is still pretty. Didn’t think I’d get engaged in it, but it came out great in photos! Be careful about the bra you wear because it will really show if it digs in at all in the back! 

This is the perfect summer dress. Wore it for the first time today and I know I will wear it over and over again. Probably will buy it.

Looks like it would pack well for summer vacations.

I loved this so much and wore it on a date night boat event with my girlfriends. I got a ton of compliments on this from all of the gals. The material is excellent for warm weather and can be layered with a sweater if needed.

This fit like a dream & was perfect to walk around in on hot NYC days

I rented this dress and loved it so much that I decided to buy it! The only thing I will say is the dress needs to be pulled down so that the chest area does not bunch up on the sides… otherwise it’s perfect!

Big bust friendly, waist cinching, so light and comfy. No bra needed. Huge fan of this one! Wore with ballet flats and denim jacket for dinner on vacation.

I thought that this dress was very flattering and I received a lot of compliments. Great dress if you have a bigger bust!

I love this dress. It was so comfortable and flattering. It had pockets. The only problem is you can’t wear a regular bra. I wore just sticky chicken cutlets and it worked fine. Stretchy lightweight material.

Loved this dress more than I expected to! Wore it casually with sneakers and dressed up with heels and accessories. Flattering silhouette with a feminine simple print. Highly recommend this one! 

I sized up from my usual XS and rented a Small here, and it fit really well. Straps are adjustable and the waist smocking is very flattering. I'd wear with either a nude strapless bra or a sticky "Nubra" here. Styled it with a denim jacket and a flat so that it can be worn before the weather gets much warmer.

So cute! Super hot for larger busts. But y'all... how is ciao Lucia charging so much for these flimsy ass dresses with now lining. I mean it's criminal. They are cute but not worth $380

I wore this on vacation in Sevilla for a day of sight-seeing and it was perfect. Good respectable length, flowy and comfortable. The boob area was a bit odd for me, I think it would look better on someone who was more well endowed. It was like it was trying to give me boobs, but since there’s nothing there, the excess fabric just folded over in not the most flattering way.

I was able to pin it to make it work but it was large and saggy up top. So fun thooo.

I thought this dress was very cute for the graduation I wore it too the top was a little too big but I made it work ! I could have sized down and wore a better bra? I wore sticky boobs and it was kinda tough

This was a great sundress. The fit was a little weird on the top so I think I could’ve sized down. Still, I loved it and wore it multiple times. 

Very cute and flattering, not very nice material (just run of the mill sundress feel and weight)

Top definitely runs a little big, so better for bustier audiences. However I loved it and bought it since the fit was so light and comfortable!

This was so comfy! It was just a tad big for me but would totally rent again! 

This was a like not a love. I felt like the dropped waisted mixed with the pleating made my hips appear larger. The chest area was a little big but otherwise this fit nicely. Definitely is a great option for summer especially if you like this fit. 

I had to accept straps showing for this dress. I had read and seen reviews about all the extra fabric in the chest and with 44Gs that made me feel it would work. And I was right. It does and the dress shape is flattering for curves, v thin so you'll want spanx or a bodysuit. The thinness is great and breezy. But as others noted you can't wear a strapless bc of the open cleavage, and if your boobs are heavy,  a body suit with a low front arch (like I tried) will not hold anything up so I had to just accept showing strap and think that's how big chests would need to do this. I accepted seeing the bra through the dress too-- not usual moves but it was so fun and got lots of compliments and I felt sturdy enough within it with those garments. The dress itself will hold nothing anywhere. Spring or picnic fun  !!

I felt like there was gaping in the breast area. You can see in the photo it’s on the sides 

I thought this dress was really cute! I am really short at 4’11 so this dress pretty much hit the floor, but I did not mind! I was also able to shorten it a tiny bit by folding the top into itself and you couldn’t really tell. When i first tried it on the top was a little awkward on my chest but it’s adjustable so i was able to fix it and i think it looked just fine! Paired with a denim jacket since it was a little chilly. Felt great! 

I added a big jacket to hide the bust and ended up loving the look but wouldn't rent it again. I wore it more as a skirt. Was very unflattering of my bigger boobs 

I wanted to love this so bad but it was too large in the chest area. 

This theoretically was cute and I made it work but overall wasn’t very flattering and quite thin material 

Idk what it is about this dress. I can’t tell if it’s super flattering or dumpy, if I should have gone a size smaller or what. The length of the smocking is weird and there’s no support but it’s impossible to wear a bra. I would say I feel like it probably runs significantly large? I haven’t worn an xs in forever and have been on the larger side of a 4 lately and for this one an xs would definitely fit so idk 

No matter how tight I adjusted the straps, the sides of the bust area had a kind of pocket that formed any time I moved my arms 

Felt a little scandalous for big chested ladies. It's supposed to be a drop-waist but if I pulled it down that far, I wouks be too exposed up top. Also. The gathering at the hips wasn't the most flattering for a hip-heavy gal.  It's really light weight which was nice for hot days.
