Overall fit was good except the bust area was small.  Definitely should wear fashion tape with this dress

After reading previous reviews, I bought a pink bralette from Free People to wear under this dress. I definitely didn't need it, but I felt better wearing it that way at a family function. The bigger size worked better with the bra, but the smaller size was great without. Loved the colors and the length was perfect. 

I love love love this dress. Super fun colorful and sexy . I'm typically a 6 or 8 and was happy with the 8. Minimal boob coverage but nothing some dbl sided tape can't help . I wore this to a pool party w a bikini underneath 
The material was very light so great for any pool or beach related event. Vacation. I would not wear this to any event that involved dancing or moving around a lot . 

I really wanted to like this dress but there were SEVERAL issues. The bust area is EXTREMELY small. I do not recommend for anyone above a B cup. I had to look for a bralette to wear with the dress. This was a huge inconvenience. The cutouts and the fabric make the dress look very casual. I wouldn't wear this dress to a formal or semi-formal function. 

If you are petite all around then perhaps this can work for you. Any busty ladies?? Please do yourself a favor and look for another option. 

Crazy complements and double takes all night long because of this outfit! I love this designer and this dress does not disappoint! However, you will need sticky tape under your chest to hold the girls in, and possibly sticky tape in the V neck of your chest to keep things from falling out of place ...basically just use the fashion tape to tape the girls in and you're great!!!

I got the 8 and it was definitely too big for my 36B chest. The fit was perfect everywhere else but I couldn't wear this dress because of extra room in the chest.

Fit was great with loads of of double tape (in the photo I am trying it on "au natural" ) I was little bummed that this dress seemed to have a bit of wear (but still really gorgeous).  

From all the photos I had viewed before I didn't really realize the extent of the cut but it is definitely daring without being "trashy". 

You only live once- this is a definite "WOW" !   It  is a makes you feel great dress - despite being slightly risque. 





Loved wearing this dress in Mexico! I am small-chested- I would not recommend for busty gals. Bandaides over my nips and I was ready to go. Fabric is soft and comfy. Dress was prefect length for wearing with flat sandals.. I'm 5'3'' 

So many compliments.  I did use double sided tape so I didn't have to worry about the top and it worked like a charm.

I agree with previous reviews regarding the cup size...I'm a 36B and I can't imagine anyone with a larger chest wearing without some good taping skills. It was very comfortable and the colors are beautiful 

I have 32 D "aftermarket" breasts....so they hold themselves up :) but if you need ANY support you will not want to wear this.  There was also a bit of under-boob.  But I was totally okay with it.  The colors are amazing and it was perfect for a night out in Maui.  I'm 5'4" and it was perfect with flat sandals....no way I could've worn heels.  It would've been too short.

Perfect fit on me; definitely runs long for all sizes so prepare to wear heels (I'm 5'6 and needed at least 2-3 more inches). My chest is relatively small and I don't think the dress could have held much more. You essentially can't wear any bra or even stickies, so not for girls who need support. 

The colors are absolutely gorgeous and it's such a fun dress. 

I had ordered the 8R & 6R, and oddly enough the 8R fell shorter on my ankles than the 6, as well as being way too big, which was surprising.  The top definitely won't hold anything in, so I did have to keep an eye out for slippage but had I used fashion tape I wouldn't have worried in the least bit.  Absolutely loved the cut and eye catching statement this dress makes.  Can't wait to have an excuse to rent it again!

top half is VERY small couldnt even wear stickies just little bandaids BUT really cute, bottom is not stretchy so had to wear the 4 .  Dress is SHORT, im 5' and the 4 was only a hair long with flat shoes. Very fun and comfy though 

I agree with aa the other reviews, the fit up top must have perky boobs or they will show thru at the bottom. I am a 32C (implants) hourglass 5'75 and I did not need to wear heels w/ the long mani dress. I LOVED everything about this dress! I felt like a princess EVERYONE complimented me on the beauty of the fashion!

I didn't want to return this dress!! I'm so in love with this dress I'm going to buy it if they ever put it on sale!! It was a little big but so I used two-sided tape to keep the top in place. 

I received lot of compliments on the dress.  I would only recommend this for a small busted gal, though.  I could not wear any sort of pasty under it, as the cut was so low.  And I did have some lower boob action showing!  Overall very nice, though!

I was attracted to the stress because of the colors and the fluidity of the skirt. I'm fortunately the top does not have any Way to adjust other then the straps. So if you are curvy or parachute and a bit smaller on top the sizes may not work for you. I probably could not have gone smaller to fit my bust because I wouldn't have had room for my hips. The elastic was practically nonexistent in the top.  If it had more elasticity i probably would've fit a lot better and I wouldn't have been so self-5conscious about my boobs flipping out from under the bra top. I ended up going out in purchasing a fun bra let to avoid any major wardrobe malfunction. I think it also could've worked over a bikini.  I received a lot of compliments but I was disappointed that I had to do so much work to get the dress functional. Additionally it's definitely not wrinkle free and even if you iron the wrinkles come back.  I find address and was really comfortable for long evening of dinner and dancing. 

This dress is amazing...the colors are absolutely beautiful!  I wore this to the Dana Point Food, Wine, and Music Festival, and I received so many compliments!  I like the cutouts, but be warned...you truly cannot wear a bra with this!  I tried many different bras, tape, and inserts, but I ended up going braless!!!!!!

This dress runs true to size but definitely has very little coverage in the bust area. Best for smaller busts. 


Ok! So I can see how this wouldn't fit a lot of girls. You have to have perky boobies haha, there is zero support in there. It's also a smaller top area, I put on nipple covers so that they wouldn't slip out! BUT - the colors are beautiful and I LOVED IT!

This maxi is perfect for a summer vacation or casual brunch! I love how the print is bold and colorful. You cannot wear a regular bra, so I opted for a nubra! Be mindful, the bust area is very small, so I would not recommend this for anyone bigger than a B cup!

Amazing Mara Hoffman! The colors are spectacular and the fabric is soft and breezy. A very important note about this maxi - it runs VERY small in the bust and there is really no room to wear any sort of bra. I would not recommend it for anyone over a 32C cup. The 2R fit me well, but it is definitely a more revealing style. Wear it to a rooftop summer party for an eye-catching look!
