I loved loved this dress. I wore it to an event and everything about it was perfect. Color, Length, material was all so good. Could have made it causal with sandals too. 

Wore this to a 70s themed wedding and it was perfect. I loved the fit and it has a perfect retro vibe. Little on the longer side, I needed to be in taller shoes to not have it dragging 

Runs small, I’d recommend sizing up 1-2 sizes. Wore size 10/6 and it was super comfortable. Great for a beach cocktail/wedding!

This dress was a head turner, unique pattern and vibrant colors. Loved it because it showed off my shoulders, wasn't biased against small breasts and did not cling to any curves. A+

I wore this on a date to my favorite retro 70's bar. I'm 5'8, 143lbs, and a 32D and this dress was snug. I liked it snug because I didn't have to wear a bra and felt comfortable but definitely go up a few sizes! Loved that the dress was long enough for my legs too!

Typically a size 2/4 - size 10 fit well, probably could’ve worn an 8. I loved this dress 

Runs soo small but after reading reviews I got a 10 and it fit perfectly! There is NO stretch but fit like a glove. Wore for my engagement photos and soo happy with how flattering it was

I personally loved this and wore it for a date night. Based on reviews (I normally am a size 2 or xs) I ordered a size 8 and it fit like a glove. Such a unique dress and great for summer.

I took the advice of every other renter when choosing the appropriate size for this dress. Typically, I wear a 4/6 and rented a 12 due to the comments around how small it runs. I may have overestimated, I'm sure a 10 would've fit better as the back would hang pretty low and at times & my strapless bra would pop out. I'd recommend ordering 2 sizes up and maybe not wearing a bra. That being said, I received so many compliments & LOVED the pattern and flow. Perfect for a backyard soirée!

I normally wear a US 0 or 2, I need an 8 in this brand...no joke...6 is zipp-able, but impossible to move in.

I actually love this dress but after reading reviews I’m usually a 4 and ordered a US 10 (UK 14) and it’s a little too big, it still works because it’s flowy and I can make it work but I think an 8 would’ve been better for me! Still cute though

I could barely zip this dress up. It was very tight around my stomach area and extremely tight around my chest. I do have a larger chest so I'm not surprised about that; however, the entire dress was too tight and uncomfortable. So sad because I love this pattern and dress on the hanger. It will work well if you're someone with no curves.

When I saw that I was being sent a size 6, I thought it might be a mistake. This fits like a double 0. Had to wear it because I was in a pinch but could barely sit in it! Size up!

I loved wearing this dress and got tons of compliments! I sized up two sizes due to the reviews, and I probably should have only sized up one. I had to finagle the strings a bit (I have a small chest) to make sure I didn’t have a nip slip. Once I figured that out, I loved this dress! 

I didn’t listen to the reviews and didn’t size up- so it was very tight, could hardly breathe but looked really good! Fit so well. Got tons of compliments. Wore to rehearsal dinner.

This dress is adorable, but if you have any hips I'd definitely recommend sizing up. I spent the whole night pulling it down. It's also very large in the chest. 

I am typically a 2 or 4 but even in a 6 I was about 2 inches away from being able to zip it! 

The reviews on this were confusing because I don’t think i people understand it’s European sizing. I ordered my regular size - a Size 12 UK (US 8) and it was too small. So size up, but not multiple sizes as reviewers suggest. Beautiful otherwise, was sad not to wear. 

Loveeeddd this dress. I am bigger chested so it is tricky/really had to squeeze em in! But such a fun and unique dress.

Loved to dress this down with jean jacket and white sneakers 

After reading reviews I sized up but too much and this was too large to wear. Cute though if it fit. 

Runs very small. Normally a 2 or 4. Ordered an 8 and couldn’t get zipper up. Exchanged for a 12 ( 10 wasn’t available) and that was too big. Gave up l. 

  I love this print- great warm weather dress AND  not see through -Have someone else zip you and tie halter. if you have antyhing over a b cup gravity will pull the halter down and the straps might be uncomfortable on the back of your neck. Cute over comfort dress- after 4 hours I was ready to take this off. OVer all it is a slinky narrow fit . It hit at my ankles. if your are shorter than 5'7" might be too long. 

Gorgeous pattern, just too big. Would benefit from another way to create tension beyond the halter tie 

I ordered the UK10 (I’m usually a US6) and it fit veryyyy tight in the torso area. The top also was not forgiving or flattering on me at all but the print is perfect for warm weather, so try it if you can size 1-2 sizes up 

I listened to the reviews and sized up considerable. The dress fit well but was just slightly large in the top area. I strangely really liked this dress more than I thought I would but wasn't completely in love. Rent with caution as it is a weird one but if it fits well it's a nice piece to switch up summer dresses. 

ordered the only size available thinking it might work and just lie low on my back but did not work 

I loved the look of this dress but couldn't zip it up around my chest.   It would look great if you are tall and lean.  May try in a larger size when available but then worry it will be way too long.

This runs small- I usually wear a size 10 & had to order a size 14 to get it to zip up but then it was huge in the boobs.

Loved the fit. Felt very nice on. Wore this to a graduation and received many compliments.

Zipped all the way, but extremely tight around torso but too big in the bust?
