Look like money
Stunning dress with interesting details. Top runs a little large. You'll want stickies or an adhesive bra because it's low in the back and sides. Does draw attention to lower belly if that's something you're not looking to highlight.

80's theme gala
I wore this for an 80s-themed gala. I'm 5foot2 and found it runs a bit short. Was just long enough for me, but maybe not for someone taller. The top part was a bit long for me, and had I worn it as designed, the shoulder-less part would not have covered my bra. Thankfully the material is not hemmed on that side, so I could arrange it to cover my bra.

Runs a bit large
Good dress for work, although low cut. I paired with an extra camisole bra and some pins to make it more work appropriate.

Cute but a bit long for petite ladies
I'm 5'2" and even with 3.5 inch platforms, this was a tad too long. Was also a bit big up top, but everything else fit well. I wore a stick, backless bra

Bold print
This is a good dress for work, but I added a camisole bra to reduce the exposed cleavage. Good fabric for day and the bold print is great. Waist band runs a little bit small for my athletic frame.

Cute but low cut
This is almost the perfect Sunday brunch outfit, but a bit low cut for me. If I owned one, I'd add a nude bandeau bra just to make it more day appropriate.

Good work dress with some considerations
For work, this is a great alternative to a power suit. Be forewarned that the neck is cut very low (the lowest point fell below the bottom of my bra). So I added a bandeau bra over my regular bra, but a camisole would also work. The armpit area is a bit tight, so I was not able to raise my arms enough to zip this up myself, so make sure you have help.

Perfect for hourglass shape
This is a conservative, professional dress for work. The detailing highlights hourglass shapes without being too sexy, the fabric is comfortable and moves well.

Super comfortable
This is a stretchy, pull-on skirt. The front ruffle is cute, but may come across as wrinkly.

Boxy, crazy sleeves
This blouse is very boxy and the sleeves are comically billowy. Not a huge fan of the polyester fabric either, but the pattern is cool.

Comfy, flattering jumpsuit
Great jumpsuit for work. I added a coordinating sports bra for work-appropriate modesty. Color is a beautiful wine color. Was a tiny bit short in the torso, making it a little difficult to get out of in the restroom. May need to enlist the help of a friend.

Amazingly unflattering
I should have known better- drop waists just don't work for me. But to compound the look, the bird pattern swoops under the lower belly - making it look more pronounced. Also, this length is tragic for petites.

Fun shirt dress
Cute fabric reminds me of a fashion clown. Almost too small on my hips , but just enough room. Since it's supposed to be loose, curvy ladies may want to size up.

Great fabric but usual wrap dress issues
When you choose a wrap dress you accept the fact that you will probably accidentally expose too much boob and too much leg. This dress is no exception, but again, that's a risk you accept to wear such a beautiful garment. The fabric is stunning and the silhouette is flattering. I added a bandeau bra for extra coverage.

Needs a strapless bra
This dress is even prettier in person. Beautiful cut out details. I'd say the small is equivalent to a size 2. Fits in hips and length, but a bit baggy in the upper back. Maybe would fill out if you were taller (I'm 5'2").

Vintage inspired
Great vintage style in an awesome sea green color. Stretch material, so size down for a tight, wobble-skirt fit, or tru size for comfy, conservative fit. Fairly low cut, so i wore an extra bralette to minimize cleavage for work

Was too small, couldnt even zip it up. Also, probably too fancy for work. Pretty dress for cocktail hour though.

Very petite!
This *just* fits from the shoulders to crotch while still being able to move and not scared I'm gonna rip anything. Shoulders however are very restricted by the ruffle band, so I can't lift my arms high enough to put my hair in a ponytail. Pants look cropped on the model but perfect length for moderate heels on my 5'2" frame.

Conservative with interesting details
This is a light knit dress. Super stretchy, no zippers. Runs a bit large in the waist but nothing super noticeable. Good for work.

Beautiful dress, perfect for work. I added a little camisole to cover the exposed cleavage. Shoulder area is a bit small so my mobility is restricted.

Great for petite!
I'm 5'2" and the length is perfect. Lace on front, plain on back makes these super flattering. Super comfy too.

Stunning- formal chain mail
Looks like armor. Strategic shapes to enhance curves. Prepare for it to be tight.

Delicate and refined in a killer color
The garnet dress is stunning. The lace details and overall construction are perfect. For petite ladies like me, it may show quite a bit of cleavage in the sheer area, but a nude bandeau bra will fix that. I went for a sparkly strappy bra, so at least it's something pretty to see :)

Not the most flattering but OK
I'm normally between a 0-2 and the size small was a bit too big. I wonder if it would be more flattering in a smaller size. This dress is prob best for ladies with less curves - it's got cool geometric detailing.

Sophisticated yet fun
Beautiful fabric that is really light and comfortable. Details like lace gores and ribbing around the neck, arms and waist add enough weight that makes this a nice fall dress. Size 2 rubs a bit larger in the waist and torso than i'd like, but not so large it looks bad. Hits right at the knee on my petite frame.

Elegant details
Thisis a beautiful, understated and conservative dress. Not as flattering as I would like, but I think it would be perfect for curvy girls as there is extra draping in the hips and butt. Just looks a bit deflated for those of us who don't have anything to fill it out.

I knew it was gonna be short, but holy moly
I read the reviews, so I rented this with the understanding i was gonna wear leggings. Short is an understatement- I'm 5'2 and the lining did not even cover my butt. Super cute as a tunic option tho!

A bit short even for petite
This dress is fun and flirty. Great for a date, but a bit short for work (not gonna stop me from wearing it to work tho!). Color is awesome and a great piece to transition to fall.

Great for hourglass shape
The stripe detail gives this dress a great curvy shape. Fabric nice and heavy for fall or winter. My only complaint is the sleeves are soooooo long - covering nearly my entire hand.

Cutest dress for fall
This dress is stunning in its simplicity. Cool and warm colors make this pattern super cool, and geometric piping adds shape. A bit short even on my petite frame though.

Cute but no waist
Probably beat for ladies without defined waists. Ended up being a bit baggie and unflattering on me. Great top portion with the shoulder cutouts and awesome fabric

Almost perfect for petites
This is a knit dress with a black slip. The outer dress is perfect proportions for petite, but the slip is made for someone taller. I had to tie the straps together to get it to cover my chest. Overall super cute and fun though.

Unrealistic proportions
I read the reviews that the underbust/ribs run small, but I didn't size up because that area on me is unusually tiny in comparison with the rest of my body. I fit into my usual size 2, but just barely. Even sizing up I'm guess the proportions would be we weird.
