Cute summer dress. Was a little loose and low cut on me so maybe size down? 

This was gorgeous in person with the black, white and specks of red. I did have to wear a cami under else my boobs were on display. I am also wearing spank because this does seem to run slightly small and although I could zip up without it, spanx made it easier to get the side zip going . This does highlight your tummy if that's your problem area. I will rent again after I lose a few lbs. 180lbs, 5'7", 38D as of this review. 

it has a zipper on the side! I didnt even try with the buttons...

Love the pattern and feel of the fabric but couldn't wear this dress with out undoing the buttons.  And therein lies the problem.  The flower design makes it impossible to undo them.  I've busted 2 fingernails and giving up.  This one goes back unworn.  

I sized up and glad I did so it skimmed my body a bit better. Wore this to a variety of places - everyday, vacation. I’ve always loved this cut of dress so wasn’t surprised I loved it. I’ve gained some weight recently and it’s difficult for me to feel comfortable in ANYTHING but this was a winner. The sleeves are very tight (i have heavier arms) but I left them unbuttoned.

The dress is beautiful. Unfortunately I did not wear it. It was a little too tight in the chest area for me. My dress size and fit varies by style in the chest area. 
It was a perfect fit everywhere else. 
I loved the style. I can see where some  might have issues with the tight buttons, but they are necessary for the style of the dress. I might purchase this dress in my size. Perfect dress for almost any occasion.

Comfortable, with a skirt that almost twirls when you walk, beautiful details like black rose buttons, and for those will a fuller bust, a bit low cut. 

It hugs you in all the right places and is incredibly flattering! 

Very flattering, I received compliments all day! True to size

Loved this dress.  A-line made it comfy but still flattering.  Slightly lower cut than I realized so my family saw more cleavage than I anticipated, but oh well!  Cute details like the buttons are black flowers.  

Would totally rent again

I felt this was a little tight in the belly area but I'm not as slim as I used to be. It's a pretty print

Very cute dress, fit well. Some of the other reviews mention tricky buttons, and yes, the buttons are tricky, but there’s a zip on the side that you can use to avoid having to deal with the buttons. (I didn’t notice the zip until I had fiddled with the buttons for 15 minutes.) Overall, great to wear to work and to everyday events!

Fits more like an 8 than a 12, but pretty dress. Shame I couldn’t wear it. 

This is a beautiful dress, but you need to go up a size and wear a camisole underneath. If you don’t have a flat stomach, you might have to go up to sizes and wear Spanx.

This dress is beautiful, molds to your body and gives it a nice shape. But not recommended for someone bigger than a 34B. The front cut is very low, so if you have big bust, they will pop from the dress. 

Waaaaayyyy too low cut for a bigger chest: I had to wear a camisole underneath

Dress was so long it hit above my ankle bone - not great for its rented purpose of dancing. The neckline gaped literally to where my skin below my bra was exposed - others with larger bra sizes reported the issue, but I thought at 34A, I wouldn't have the same issue. I did, and I had to wear a visible bandeau, safety-pinned into the dress. I used fashion tape around the neckline too. Sizing was snug, but wearing the larger size would have been even more gape. Side zipper meant I didn't have to undo the many front buttons. Despite all the issues, I still received a couple compliments on the dress.

This dress runs very small. I sized up to a 14 and couldn't button it over my hips or chest. Recommend sizing up if you have curves. Disappointed because it's a really pretty dress and cut, otherwise.

I really wanted to love this dress.  On paper, it was everything I was looking for.  But the execution was not right for me.  The print and fabric are really nice, but there is A LOT of fabric in the skirt.  It was definitely a fuller skirt than I was expecting and somewhat longer than I expected.  It is also very low cut and somewhat loose in the bust, but relatively tight in the bodice (especially by comparison to the skirt and bust).  The fit was true to size--if not slightly big compared to other dresses--but just wasn't right for me.  It might work well for someone very tall, but I probably wouldn't recommend for someone shorter unless they are looking for more of a maxi dress than a midi dress.  Probably would also work for a true hourglass figure.  But alas, did not work for me.  

Was really excited about this dress but I couldn’t even attempt to wear it. Runs small and the material isn’t stretchy. 

Ended up not wearing it - way too small.  I ordered my usual 8R (sometimes a 6, sometimes a 10) but wasn't even close.  Buttons are flower shaped and hard to do & undo.  Perhaps if it was a larger size I wouldn't have had to mess with the buttons so much to try it on.

I usually wear an 8 dress and tried both the 8 and the 10 and couldn't get into them.  The 12 finally fit, and was flattering.

I couldn’t wear this dress, it was so small. I actually thought I was sent the wrong size but it’s just the way the dress is. I probably would have had to size up 2 sizes to get it to fit. The rose buttons are beautiful but they are a pain to button and unbutton.

The fit in my hips was perfect, but the chest area was not flattering

Awful and such awkward fitting. Didn't wear it. The dress was hard to button up and once I did, it looked really weird on my body. 

Beware - this dress runs incredibly small. Not only in the bodice but the arm holes are comically tiny. Even if you open the button on the sides of the arms they're still very tight. Definitely size up.
