I have a short torso but this was still too short
I had major camel toe. I have a short torso and this was too short even for me. It's a shame the rest of the piece was nice-good fabric and nice color. Couldn't wear.

Waist is too big
Dress fits nicely and gives where needed but there was entirely too much fabric in the waist. It was just hanging off me in my waist while clinging everywhere else. Beautiful color, really wanted to love and wear it.

Frumpy
Not enough structure. Too stretchy. Also somehow made my chest look even bigger. Just unflattering. Great if you just want to hide your body.

Cute even with curves
Fit runs a little short but comfortable. I'm an hourglass and I had minimal issues with gaping of the fabric. Loved it. Unfortunately ended up using another dress but it was super cute and on my list for a future rental possibility

Perfect piece
Lightweight, great length, and photographed well against my bright blue dress. Never heard of this brand before this but very happy I know about them now!
Duna Necklace

Great engagement photo dress
Super stretchy, flattering while providing great coverage of my chest and arms. I'm curvy and not thin by any stroke of the imagination but this dress was great and definitely was slimming despite being so snug. It does show underwear lines so plan accordingly. Photographed well, nice pop of bright blue.

Engagement photos
I wore these for my engagement photos. Also rented it in a 16 in red. Both fit equally which is weird. But, this is flattering and very stretchy. My only gripe is that it seemed a little short. I'm 5'4" with curves so I wasn't expecting it to be so short once I put on heels.

A little big
Dress fit big and kind of rented out but was surprisingly tight in my arms and chest. I think it could have been nice if I could have had it more fitted in the torso .

Lots of compliments
Wore this for a wedding. It's a beautiful gown. Of note, I'm barely 5'5" and with heels this was almost short so consider a longer size if taller or planning on wearing big heels. The other reviewers are accurate that a lot of flaws showed through so I did need to wear some light shapewear to minimize cellulite showing through. I am curvy with very wide hips and the dress laid nicely. I would say it doesn't do a lot to enhance your figure per se but I had lots of people coming up to me and complimenting it. Thinking about re renting it for my engagement photos.

Form fitting, some stretch
It was a really nice dress, very form fitting. Some stretch and the stretch provided nice compression. The neckline is lower than expected. Of note, I couldn't actually wear to an event because the shapewear wires were sticking out and very sharp. Other than that, would have been a great gown.
