Really pretty
The straps are long and non-adjustable which makes the neckline a little low. I am not busty, but I could see this being a concern if you are. For my event it was perfect

Super cute!
I am between a small and a medium and probably should’ve gotten the medium. I got the small and still was able to wear it, but I think the medium would’ve been better. Very cute, good quality fabric.

Loose in the crotch
These were a little loose and bunchy where the zipper is in the front. I still wore them, but it wasn’t ideal. Not sure if sizing down would’ve helped as I felt they fit otherwise.

Not really high rise
Overall these fit pretty true to size (maybe a little small) except that they aren’t really high rise, which was a dealbreaker for me.

So cute and twirly
Loved this one! The bust was slightly big, but not terrible. It’s got such a cute flouncy skirt, I wore spandex underneath in case of a Marilyn Monroe moment!

love!
Got so many compliments on the color. It's a good fit and a versatile style. I am sensitive to texture/fabric, so I wore a long sleeved undershirt and it was no problem.

Laughable
Maybe this is best suited for petite/shorter people. The top is SO THICK and the bottom/shorts are SO THIN. It just doesn’t work. My cheeks were showing and the bottom poofed out weird. All wrong.

Runs small
A 4 was fine, but a 6 would’ve been better. I wore this for my engagement photos and am happy with the results, but do wish I had the bigger size so I felt more comfortable.

Just okay
It is definitely a thicker material as others have mentioned. Fit was true to size. I didn’t love the seam that creates the pleated bottom. I felt it made a weird cut in my lower half. Overall, just an okay dress. Still gave 4 stars because it’s more about my personal style preference rather than anything “wrong” with the dress.

Could have been perfect
This is not real friendly for not-busty women. Even a size small was very loose in the chest, and because of the neckline, it looked pretty silly. I would’ve LOVED to wear this to an upcoming wedding. Definitely size down for this one. Everything else about the dress was wonderful!

Size down if in between
I could’ve easily sized down to an XS, which is pretty unusual for me. The saving grace is the cinched drawstring underbust. It’s a really cute dress—a bit longer than I thought. Can definitely be dressed up or dressed down.

Disappointed
This dress was veerrrrry big in the bust. I am not a busty gal, but for a size small I felt it was kind of ridiculous how much it gaped. I am honestly NEVER an XS, so it didn’t cross my mind to size down. The rest of the dress has ZERO stretch or forgiveness, so I’m not sure if I’d ever try this one again in the future. I was bummed.

Would wear this 100 times
Love, love, love!!! Wish the buy price was more affordable because I would in a heartbeat. It was a tad loose, so next time I rent I will probably size down to a 2. However, the 4 was fine and didn’t feel overly big or noticeable honestly.

I WANTED to love this piece!
But I just didn’t. The size 2 was too big for me, and I’m usually a 2 or a 4–never a 0. Never would’ve considered sizing down so much. I am not busty, and I feel due to the structure of this romper, it would be better for someone with boobs! Definitely has potential, just wasn’t for me.

Cute but see through
Loved this. I sized down from a Sm to an XS and I’m glad I did. It fit very well. It is for sure transparent so plan ahead what you will wear underneath.

Not my favorite
I am between 27 and 28 in Levi’s. Opted for 28 this time seeking a looser fit. I just wasn’t a fan. Also, the color doesn’t seem true black. Seems more of an over dyed dark blue. Not what I was looking for.

Cute teacher dress!
Wore this to work. It runs a little big so I wish I had worn a camisole underneath. The slit is fine, but it buttons all the way up and leaves gaps running up your thigh. Not as noticeable when standing, more so when sitting. I wore bike shorts underneath. Would make a very cute date or weekend dress.

Love! Comfy, lightweight skirt WITH POCKETS! Fit true to size. Wore to work with a white tank and denim jacket. Would also be super cute for more casual or vacation wear. Would definitely rent again!

Super cute teacher skirt
Wore this to work with a basic black tank, denim jacket and flat sandals. It would also be very cute with sneakers. The size small sat truly on my waist. If you don't want a high rise fit, size up. I probably could have worn a medium as well, but the small was just fine. Would definitely consider renting this one again.

Formal event at USMA in NY.
The earrings felt a bit heavy by the end of the night, as could be expected, and I ended up taking them out before leaving the event. They were still beautiful and just as pictured.

N/A
Alright I ordered this dress in a S and XS since it is strapless and I am not busty. I'm 5'6", around 130lbs, and a 32B (at best) chest. the Small was falling off me, ridiculous. Though this may obviously be my own fault not having anything to hold it up. The XS was pretty tight around my torso, but I was able to zip it up and it seemed like it would stay with no wardrobe malfunctions, but the boning in the corset top made it so uncomfortable that I could not wear it for my event. If I HAD to choose, I would have gone with the XS. The boning also made the chest area look funny/awkward to me, but again maybe that's because I was unable to properly fill it out. Order with caution...

Cute but the legs are VERY wide
Overall a cute jumpsuit, but I ended up sending it back and not wearing it. Beware - the top is not for a larger bust. I am a 32B and could have gotten away with wearing either a strapless bra or stick on pads (or braless), but I could see for a larger bust this area may be a problem. I liked the jumpsuit except the legs were very wide, which is depicted pretty accurately in the photo. I did not like the way it looked on me and ended up sending it back unfortunately.

Was a great addition to spice up a LBD for NYE!
Glitter did not rub off onto dress (at least not that I noticed). Held my phone and lipstick comfortably. Has built in credit card slots where I kept folded up cash, ID, and credit card.

So-so dress...
This was a back up dress that I didnt end up wearing. Loose in the bust and too long. I am 5'6" and about 130lbs, usually a size 2 or 4. Maybe someone with a larger bust would be more suitable for this dress?

Great fit. Some beads were loose, but not really noticeable. So many compliments!
I ordered a 2p and 4p with wishful thinking since 2r and 4r were not available. The 4P ended up being unavailable to the day before it was supposed to be delivered. I was worried about the two being too small, but to my surprise it fit beautifully. I am 5'6" and about 130lbs. Pretty slender figure and not too curvy which I think worked in my favor with this dress. I wore flats and it was the perfect length. Was comfortable to move and dance in.
