Stunning
I ordered a 10 and 12, and ended up wearing the 12 for comfort (given the material is lace and has zero give). Pros: You don’t need a bra, but I wore stickies just because. I really loved how structured this dress was and gave me an hourglass figure! At 5’2”, i wore chunky 3” heels (that you can’t even see) and the length was absolutely perfect. The only con would be that The straps were way too long. I pinned them about an inch shorter on the back very carefully, otherwise the neckline would’ve been absurdly low. That said, it’s well worth it and i highly recommend this dress!

I mean i looked awful but it was comfy
I'm 6 months pp and this was a terrible choice for me. But i would recommend it to others that are more shapely/not pp lol. The material is thick, perfect for a winter/fall event. I wore a strapless bra and spanx. I'm 5'2 and the length was perfect with 3" heels.

Small, no stretch
I really wanted to love this dress but it had no stretch and it runs a tad bit small, especially in the chest area.

Just okay
Pros: flowy, pretty, comfortable. Cons: long straps (had to tie sort of like a halter on the back with a lace string from Michael's) chest runs large with so much material and made my boobs look way bigger than they are. Tips: I'm 5'2" & wore big wedges so that they hit the ground perfectly. Must wear a strapless bra.

Sized very small, especially in the chest area.
I'm usually a size 12, 36c, and could not zip up the size 12 for this dress.

Amazing & flattering!
Loved everything about this dress. I ordered a size 12 and it was damaged--the underwires for the bra were very sharp and stuck out the sides, there was no repairing it. Luckily the backup size fit me as well (10). The straps in the back allow for a lot of adjustments. I don't think a bra is necessary for this dress, the material is thick and has enough hold to be comfortable and in place. I'm 5'2" so the length was a bit long.

Very pretty!
I was overall very happy with this dress, but couple things to mention: I'm 5'2 and it was a tad bit too long on me I think, even in heels. I'm almost always a 10 but the bust was too tight -- it's not stretchy so there was no hope in that. I wore the 12 bc the chest had more room, but the straps were long and I could easily pull them down my shoulders (non-adjustable). Strapless bra works just fine.
