Way too large to be flattering
The print of this dress was pretty but it just had so much material everywhere. The length was actually fine on me at 4'11 because the waist still sat at my waist but it meant there was so much excess around the bust. Wouldn't rent again but it served me alright on a Saturday out at guide dog training!

Glad I sized up, very cute dress
Had read to size up to fit in larger busts and I'm glad I did. It also made it forgiving in the stomach area which I needed. Looks super cute with a denim jacket or on its own. The weather turned shortly after I rented it so unfortunately it became too cold to wear more than once but I'd rent it again for slightly warmer weather. Could look a bit too boho depending on the shoes and accessories (unless that's what you wanted).

Want to buy this dress!!
If this dress wasn't way out of my budget I'd buy it in an instant. Will definitely be renting again. I got loads of compliments and it felt very cute. The bodice was a bit long for my 4'11 frame but the elasticated waist meant that that didn't matter too much. Luckily the back was low enough to look good but not so low that my bra strap was an issue. Definitely rent this dress!

Nothing special but does the job
I wanted a dress I could wear to work a few times over the month so needed something nondescript. It did nothing for my shape but it was comfortable and felt professional. It's also nice and soft!

Great print, requires safety pins to make it work
I'm 4'11, this dress was fine in length but the neckline plunged way too low, I just pinned the inside of it at the back to make the neckline higher. It was loads of fun to wear, could either be a beachy dress or a fashionable sunny lunch dress.

Hook at the front is perfect for large chests who don't like to be too on show. The fabric really covers any tummies and it's a lovely length even on someone who's 4'11

Didn't photograph well
This felt nice on but it looked frumpy in photos and was maybe a bit too low cut for my large chest. I also found the ties quite hard to get right. Pretty colour and I'm sure it would look amazing on the right person

Many compliments but slightly right across the ribs
I found this a great length for me at 4,11. The shoulders were a bit loose and if I owned it I'd be taking them in. People stopped me on the street to say they loved the dress and I would definitely rent it again!
