I wore this to a baby shower, church, and work. Such a beautiful dress! It was a little tight throughout the bust, but overall it fit well. I’m typically between a 6 and 8, and I went with the 12R. 

Loved this dress! Such a great unique look and fit

Tight fitting in the bust but roomy elsewhere, this darling dress has a beautiful fabric and fit. Love the peekaboo back and I was able to wear a normal bra with it: win! Would rent again, would be fun for a Western Wear event too!

I am usually a size 2, but wore the 10. However, I think maybe one size down would've fit me better in the shoulders and top area. Confusing sizing. This dress was beautiful and very high quality and I loved the back cut out 

Amazing embroidery details. Found the bust to be a bit tight and fabric gaped between buttons- nothing a safety pin couldn’t fix. So many compliments!

This dress is gorgeous, as to be expected with Temperley, and I enjoyed wearing it but the fit is a bit odd, at least if you are large chested. I sized up from my usual UK 8R (sometimes even 6R) with the brand to UK 10R, but the chest still pulled open a bit so I had to use fashion tape. The waist was then of course a bit oversized so not particularly flattering. Trying to take a picture for this review made me second guess whether this had in fact looked good on me! This dress is perfect for an A-line body. Kept thinking it would be perfect for Catherine Middleton!

Still giving it a 5 because I liked it and received compliments. Would just proceed with caution if you have big boobs. :)

Very womanly dress suitable for a variety of events.Loved it.

Dress was perfect for the wedding I went to. I wore pasties with it which worked perfectly since the back of the dress is a cute out.

Runs small, tight at rib cage and gals with it being cotton material and buttons. Planning to safety pin but other than that, it's a winner!

I wore this out to a semi-casual dinner spot.  My date wore a pink button down and I must say that we looked kind of adorable.  This dress is lovely.  Interesting, but not weird.  Beautifully made and tailored.

This dress fit like a glove and I received so many compliments. I hadn't noticed the cutout in the back in the photos and was worried it wouldn't be professional for work, but it totally was. The sleeve details were my favorite part. 

Beautiful embroidered details and lively pattern make for such a unique spring dress. With buttons all the way down and a little flair and ruffle in the sleeve, the dress feels just the right amount of feminine, frilly and floral. 

This dress is one of my very favorites I've ever rented. The print is amazing and so different, the sleeves are so darling with the embroidery and scalloped detail, the back cut out is a fun little detail. It is tight in the chest area (and I am not busty!). I wore without a bra since it was so snug. 

This is such a beautiful dress: color, embroidery, structure! Loved it! 
Now for the fit, it is tts for Temperley but there is no give across the back so it limits your movement. I also had a wardrobe malfunction and the button right between my boobs came open and I walking around for who knows how long with undone. :(  I still recommend it, just plan on being pretty stationary lol!

I had planned to wear this for a casual office event.  Even at the 12R this was too small, especially through the chest.  I also hadn't realized there was a big cutout in the back.  Def not appropriate for a work event.

I'm a 34A cup size normally a size 2 in dresses but went up one size and this dress still didn't fit around my rib cage. I thought I could make it work but as soon as I sat in the car things got much worse. 

I ordered this for second time, and either I’m skinner than last time 🤞🏻 or this one was cut bigger. The back gapped open too much and I could not hide a bra, which I cannot go without. Sooooo pretty though 


Runs too small in the shoulders and bust and too big in the hips, but was soooo cute!!!!

This is one fantastic dress. I received lots of compliments on the dress. The waist was very snug, but the rest of the dress fit well. 

I was so sad not to wear this. But it was too tight in the chest area.

Didn't wear this because it was too small, will re-rent in a size larger!

Rented this for a friends bridal shower and it was the perfect dress....flowy and feminine! It cinches you at the waist but is also comfortable and easy to wear. Love love love! 

Even though I wasn't on vacation, I felt like I was on holidays just by wearing this dress. It's very comfortable and pretty. Expect compliments :). 

Runs small but is absolutely beautiful! Size up.

Such a beautiful dress with no stretch what so ever. Runs a bit small, but still fit. If I went up a size would of been more comfortable. Beautiful pattern and color. Next time, I'll go up a size. 

Interesting dress but very tight in rib cage and arm area. I had a hard time reaching up and felt corset like when sitting. Also the open back made bra situation challenging.

Beautiful colors, material, style and details; 

I went up a few sizes and it fit but the rib area was a tad snug and I felt the button looked like it was about to pop.

Beautiful details with the embroidery. However this piece is stiff cotton and looks like a house dress. Not of the collar. It falls and you can see the backside of the printed fabric. It should've been self lined. The fit is true Temperly. 

Darling feminine dress.  BUT no stretch and runs very small.  I'm usually a 4 and the 8 wouldn't button over my rib cage

I didn’t realize the cut out on the back was as large as it was. I was hoping to wear it for work as well.

This dress is pretty in photos, but when I got it I was a little disappointed. It's a basic cotton dress that's very bright. It's pretty nonetheless, but i felt it was wearing me. If you wear patterns and bright colors well, rent it. Otherwise, skip it. 

Nice quality but I would size up at least one size.  I am a C size cup and it was tight in the chest area.  

Didn't fit in the bust area. Was not able to wear. 

So sad because this pattern is really gorgeous. I am usually  a 6 to 10 depending on the dress. I am very curvy (45hips 30 waist 36DD). This dress fit great at the waist and flared out but it wouldnt button pasr there ro accommodate my ribs, shoulders, or breasts. I was in shock. I then had my size 4 friend try it on and it fit perfectly with a belt. We both agreed it had to be equivalent of a US 8 for fit not a US 12 which is what I had gotten cuz it said it ran small. 

I really agree with the other reviews of this dress. It's very basic in person and is not what you would expect from the usual style and quality from this designer. I am flat chested and still had that horrible gap between the buttons on top. I kept pulling at that while I was wearing.  Do not reccomend.
