Cute but a little itchy
I liked the fit, comfortable and fitted but didn't need spanx. Fabric was a little itchy but manageable

Loved this dress. Super fun for a party. Tad short.
Ordered the small but the medium may have been better for me as I'd like a little more swing room in my hips. Still, both would work.

Perfect rise!
Great summer jeans. The rise is perfect, not too low or high. I'm 5'5 and wish the crop was a bit shorter but they looked fine with wedges.

Cute, flattering, comfortable
Thick material on the top and breezy, light skirt made this dress work appropriate and lovely for summer. You will need to wear a cross back bra as the shoulders are a bit narrow.

Runs large.
Based on the RTR recommendation and reviews I ordered this dress in a 10R. I'm normally a 4. It was about two sizes larger than I needed. Cute. A bit of a heavy material.

A bit conservative for a night out.
Dress is just okay. Didn't wear it as it felt too conservative for a date night. Material was thick. Could be okay for a winter work party.

Super cute but runs small.
I liked this dress a lot but couldn't wear it as it runs small. I'm curvy, and if you are as well, size up 1-2 sizes.

Creative, comfortable, and professional
Great top for work with jeans and bright heels. Not too sheer and great with the cami. I'm busty, 32E, and the cami was tight on my chest. Good thing, you could tell with the blouse over it.

Weather
Great for a 'fancy' daytime event. Lightweight, polished and comfortable. Looked good with flat sandals and even better with nudge wedges. If the wind picked up, the skirt could blow open. Thinking if you needed, you could close it with a bit of double stick tape. I', a 32E and the small smashed me down. The medium was perfect.

BBQ Party!
Cute skirt. Hit a little longer on me, like midi length in the back, but still very stylish and sexy. Fabric is stretchy and comfortable. Only con, skirt rids up with walking and you have to pull it down. That was why I opted not to wear it to the food festival.

Cute earrings. I planed to wear them like a cuff, but it didn't work with the shape of my ear. They flared out a bit. Wore them down which still looked nice.

Black lace for days!
Fantastic dress. Great fit! Clung to all the right places. Friends asked if I lost weight. I'm busty (32ddd) and the 6 was great. Didn't press my chest down. Smaller chest and 120-130, the 4 might be best.

Awesome circus theme Oscar Party
Great jumpsuit. Super flattering, low cut but you can wear a fairly regular bra. * Order the tall. I'm 5'5 and the pants on the regular didn't touch the ground when I was barefoot. The tall was perfect with 3 inch heels. Just grazed the floor. I wore the 2L but it was snug. In retrospect, the 4L would have been better.

Great party dress. Comfortable. Easy to wear. I have a large bust, 32E, and this didn't smash me down...and I could wear a normal bra! Only down side, it is hard to wear a coat over the adorable sleeves. Keep that in mind if you will be outside in the winter.

Beautiful colors and lace details!
This dress kept me cool at a hot summer wedding. I am busty (32E) and got the small and medium, assuming I would wear the medium. The small fit great! I wore a normal, nude bra and it was hardly noticeable. Highly recommend.

Great dress! So flattering. Would buy it.
Fantastic dress. Worn to a modern art gala. Gave it an edge with fishnet stockings and booties. I am busty and the 40 was a great fit on my waist and larger chest. I would buy this dress!

Super modern dress. Perfect for an art gallery gala.
Size down. I am appox 132lbs and 5.5. I normally wear a 4 or a 6. I wore a 2 in this dress. I might have been able to go one size smaller for a snug fit but the 2 was great.

Snow covered Christmas trees, indoors
Great dress. I recommend ordering the long. At 5.5 with 2.5-3inch heels, the dress was the perfect length. I am busty but still thought the top ran a little large. I wore the 4L and my backup was a 6L. The 2L might have been a better fit. The dress is low cut. You cannot wear a 'regular' bra. A demi cup push up or a nu bra will work.

Great company.
If you are busty, this dress likely won't work for you. I am a 30F and had about 2.5 inches of side boob exposed on each side. This is not the look I was aiming for, so I did not wear it. Rest of the dress was very cute.

Croquet White party at a winery.
This fabulous jumpsuit has a loose, blousy fit, which works well on a hot summer day. The 2 fit better in the waist and top, but the pants were tight on my thighs. 4 looked great. The center v-neck is very sheer and the back has an open slit. Ideally, you should go without a bra, or with sticky cups. As a 30FF, those are not good options for me… but this jumpsuit still worked! I wore a strapless bra and used double stick tape to keep the back closed at my bra line. I also wore a long, beaded necklace to distract/cover up the sheer v-neck. I would rent it again.

I floated through the gala like a princes in this dress. It made me best dressed of the night.
I am not tall, but took others advice and ordered the long. At 5.5, I wore 2 inch heels and the dress just touched the floor. The bodice fit snugly around my waist but had enough stretch in the top to keep from compressing my busty chest. Bonus! I was able to wear a regular bra. I wore the 4 for a more fitted look, but the 6 would have been good too.
