I wore this on a tropical vacation and loved this piece. You can't wear a bra so if you're build like me, get ready for some sexy cleavage. The flirty skirt stayed in place and didn't blow up in the wind. 

Like everyone says, the straps were a little long and tended to slide off my shoulders if I bent down. However, it was a minor problem and I loved the dress. I wore it all day on wine tours and it was flirty and fun and beautiful! 

I absolutely loved this. Reviews are accurate - size up.  I'm usually a 2/4 and went with the 6. This was such a fun daytime dress. I wore it to a drag brunch and felt fabulous! Plenty of structure. Revealing but not lewd. Would most definitely rent again. 

This dress is so flattering and really gives you an hourglass figure. I was worried when I read the reviews about the dress being too small, but it actually fit quite well for me and I wore my typical size, a 4 (the 6 fit also but was looser and I was worried the straps would slide off). The 4 was pretty much perfect - the straps did move a little but it wasn't that bad. I could see how this dress might be tricky for women with a larger bust size. This dress is very low cut and if you're not careful, you could definitely have an accident. I would totally rent this again! 

It is so cute! I was so obsessed with this item. I felt so feminine and confident walking around in this. Received so many compliments! If it weren't for the changing of the seasons, I would buy this dress to keep for many wears to come! P.S. Excuse the poor photo, that was right out of the bag!

Fits perfectly and in all the right places! :)

Wore this for my husband's birthday weekend in the Bahamas! Loved it so much I bought it :) 

Super cute- light and airy. A little sexy in the top- overall A+++

The dress was extremely comfortable. I received a lot of comments and I would definitely rent again. It had flair, classy and perfect for the California weather. 

I love this dress, I have huge hips and a big bum and it made it flattering to both, the sleeves kept falling down however, so the top may run a little big. Love this dress regardless!

I really liked this dress. It's pretty with a little edge. It's a nice thick fabric. The straps are a little long and I had to pull them up at times but overall I loved it.

Loved this dress, ran a little tight in the midsection

Cute, light-weight and perfect for a night out at the beach. Same complaint as others - the straps don't adjust and were a bit loose. Overall great dress! 

Loved the dress! Wore it to a BBQ! It was comfy and true to size. My only problem was the bust area. The straps were to long and constantly fell down. To avoid a wardrobe malfunction I taped the top so when the straps fell the rest of it didn't fall! If you could adjust the straps would give this review 5 stars. 

My husband LOVED that I rented this dress for his birthday dinner. Ample cleavage and legs! The straps were a little long, and slipped off my shoulders a few times. I suggest using tape so that even if the straps fall off, you don't fall out!  

Really loved the fit and style of the dress, but the straps kept falling down making this really annoying to wear all night. 

Wore this for a boat tour on a girls night out. The top flutter sleeves are limiting to wear over your shoulders, so you can definitely put them under, but then the straps have a looser fit and fell down a few times. Wore without a bra because it was pretty tight up top, but looked cute anyway. Wouldn't rent again, but was cute once.

Very uncomfortable as the front covers half of your boobs only and the straps fall and all can be seen if not careful. I didn't like the overall fit either. 

I ended up having to buy another outfit while I was on vacation because the straps wouldn't stay up, they're not proportionate to the dress.. so even with my smaller frame and chest I was consistently dealing with a boob slipping out for all to see. It was so frustrating!! I'm normally a 0 and I got a 2 because I saw it ran small but even the 2 was so tight. Just an all around odd fit. 

Unfortunately this dress was a miss for me.  I love Nicholas dresses (have rented 7+ of them) and size very consistently/easily into that line/RTR dresses generally.  The straps on this were very long and the plunge went down past my sternum.  It felt like the triangles for the chest went out too wide.  The ruffles at the hem of the dress were very sculpted/lifted and the waist area fit like a corset (which was flattering but understandably less comfortable).  The waist to hem area fit like a scandalous dirndl dress.

Love love love.  Runs small in the bust though

Should have read the reviews. Size up!!! I am a size 6, and couldn't get the zipper anywhere close. 

This dress fit really well, but I didn't end up choosing it for the wedding I was attending. It's a beautiful and fun summery dress

Super cute dress. Very low cut in the front but flattering if you are going out. Runs a bit small in the waist, I would go up a size if you are concerned about the waist. Would rent again. 

Super cute dress! Sized down bc Im rather small chested and fit was like a glove without discomfort. Even my husband paid a compliment that this was one of his favorites as it was more casual.  I did notice that the shoulder straps were a bit long like other reviews and I couldn't lift my arms. Ended up putting my arms thru the armhole instead and voila! No strap issues and I could lift my arms over my head. Still loved it anyways!

A little tight on the chest and my chest is small. I was worried that the flaps would reveal my nipples so I had to tape the flaps with double sided tape. Also the dress runs a tad small otherwise very flattering A line dress

Really glad I rented this one because it's a little sexy, a little nautical, and really unique. Fit perfectly and was flattering across the chest! 

Will try to rent again in size up, looked very cute

Took the advice of another reviewer and wore it with the ruffled sleeves just down, so the dress was a tank top basically. The ruffles looked fine but I think it looked cuter with them under the arms. Really liked it and would wear again

Super flattering and cute but I do agree with other reviewers who stated:
- Sleeves and straps are too long  (I pinned them down from the back which kept them from falling off my shoulders)
- no stretch (but I like that firm no wrinkle middle)
- I'm only a 32B so boobs were nicely propped up but if you have boobs beware 

The dress is very pretty but one mustn't be afraid to show major cleavage in this one. If you are a C or show. Overall great dress, it is tighter and less forgiving than the Nicholas dress in the same style in blac however so keep this in mind. 

I absolutely loved this dress, it was so cute and unique and it fit perfectly for my body type. I have a small bust and waist with wide hips so it sometimes gets tricky finding a nice fit. The dress was pretty tight overall, I needed help zipping it, but it was surprisingly comfy. If my bust had been any larger (I'm a 32B) I would have had to size up. 

Comfortable and flattering! Often, dresses won't fit my rib cage, but this was nice and snug. The straps were a bit long but easily pinned, and the length was just above the knee. Comfortable and cute, I would rent again. Definitely more of a sundress. I️ did wear it as a spaghetti strap instead of wearing the ruffles off the shoulder as pictured... it was more comfortable :)

The dress fit perfectly and I received so many compliments. 

Comfortable and classy make bust look great! 

From a sizing perspective, Nicholas tends to run small, so if you're in between sizes, size up! I normally wear a size 0 or 2, and went with the 2, and it was still on the snug side. Next, if you're larger than an A or B cup size, there is zero extra room for the girls. The neckline was borderline inappropriate and nip slips were well within the realm of possibility. Finally, if you need to lift your arms above chest height-look for a different dress, the off the shoulder straps make mobility very limited.
