So many compliments all night! The dress came with the tags still on. It didn’t wrinkle and was comfortable. Oh, and pockets!
The fabric was thick and the color was gorgeous. I loved this dress, but you seriously can't move your arms past 40 degrees, so beware if you want to dance in it!
Very flattering dress! Chose to wear only statement/drop earrings with it and “fun” shoes. Was going for formal and fun. Got many compliments and felt really good wearing it. Has pockets so was able to carry my phone with me and snap pictures. I would say I was in between sizes: this size fit perfectly in the waist but was tight in the shoulders, the size up was perfect in the shoulders but looser than I wanted in the waist. Chose the smaller (this) size. The only inconvenience was that I couldn’t raise my arms straight up during dancing but it was manageable. Maybe if I had more time to see if safety pins would do the trick with the size up dress, but I didn’t want to mess with it. 100% recommend the dress.
So dreamy and brings the main character energy! Pockets too. Quite stiff but poofy, and difficult to raise your arms, so be aware of that detail.
Rented it as an option for a wedding. The material is thick, stiff, and great quality and the dress is heavy. It's also more structured than I expected. I sized up and it looks great in the photo, but there wasn't any room in the waist. I couldn't breathe normally, let alone sit down. The way the sleeves are structured, I couldn't move my hands from my sides more than a foot or so—maybe that would be different if I went up another size.
It does run small and also keep in mind that these are Australian sizes. Since I have 'more' up top, I had to go with the larger size, and even then, the girls spilled a little (nothing gross, mind you). It's very well made, and bonus for convenient pockets. The blue is beautiful and got MANY compliments on it the whole evening (wore it to a fundraising gala). I'm just under 5'3" and it hit right above the ankle. I matched with a silver clutch and silver stilettos. I was one of the few blue dresses at the event.
It was the most perfect dress. Fit in all the right places
Wore this for a shoot, looked so nice. I'm usually a size 4, but even in an 8, the top corset was very tight.

This dress is strucured and beautiful. You will look and feel like a princess. I decided to go with something that was a bit sexier, but this is a gorgeous dress.
This dress is really gorgeous and so elevated. Unfortunately for me, it was wayyyy too big up top, so if I leaned over, it was completely revealing. I am smaller up top than the bottom (US size 8 up top, 10/12 bottom usually), so if that's your case, size the dress to your upper half. Such a shame I couldn't wear this because it's a modern day and sophisticated Cinderella dress. Breathtaking color.
I would size down in this.
Use your best judgment based on your normal U.S. sizing. I wasn't paying attention to the fact that it runs in AUS & didn't account for the fact that the app's default size is numeric and doesn't auto-convert for AUS/UK/EU sizing. My bad, but a bummer nonetheless.
Super uncomfortable fit.

This is an adorable dress! However the way it is made is very stiff and doesn’t allow you to lift your arms very well.
Too small :(
I usually wear a size 4 or 6, but I accidentally ordered a size 8—at least that’s what my order confirmation says. The dress ended up being way too small and wouldn’t even zip up. There’s no size tag on the dress itself, so I’m not sure what size I actually received. Unfortunately, I couldn’t wear it at all.
