not flattering
This dress does not fit well. It just hangs on me. On the model the waist looks fitted, but to fit me, it would need to be taken in 3 inches or so. I will not be wearing this item.

Tons of complements. Felt like the belle of the ball.
Very comfortable dress as well as very nicely constructed. As another reviewer mentioned, it does not really wrinkle which is nice. I am 5'2" and this dress was the perfect length with my 3" heels. My husband did step on the back of the dress a few times but not a crazy amount. Very elegant and perfect for the gala that I attended.

Super flattering dress, my friends all told me to buy the dress
Very versatile dress - wore this to a museum art show with heels and a statement necklace. Worked well on my petite 5'2" frame but I could also see where this could fit a taller person too. The color is really beautiful as well: orange/red.

Recieved many completment on this versatile top
This top was well made and fit perfectly. I am 5'2" and 113 lbs and rented size 0. I wore this with jeans and heels but it could easily be worn in warmer weather with shorts or a skirt. Due to the size of the sleeves it was a little difficult to wear a coat with the top.

I loved wearing this dress! It fit true to size. I am 112lbs and 5'2" and it was neither too short nor too tall - a perfect fit. I will rent this one again!

Very flattering fun dress- nice detail
This dress fit my petite frame very well. I am 5'2" and 112 lbs and 32C. This dress runs true to size. You could actually be a little bit bustier and still wear it since there was a little extra room in the chest (but was not noticably baggy). There is no give in the fabric.

Endless completments, this dress shined!
I loved everything about this dress- the fit, the sequins, it was super fun. I am 5'2.5 " tall and the length was perfect - not too short but not matronly. Perfect party dress.

Well made beautiful dress but runs small
I really liked this dress and wish it would have zipped up but it did not. My rib cage and bust (32C) is not overly large so I would just say that this dress (and brand) runs small - def size up.

Funny fit for my body type
I did not end up wearing this dress because it was made for someone with a smaller waist and perhaps a larger chest and taller? I am petite 5'2" 113 lbs 32C bra size. I have an athletic frame (waist is not tiny compared to my small hips) and the black band that goes around the waist was snug with the size small so I do not think I could go down in a size but overall the dress was too large everywhere else. Very cool dress though for the right body type.

Stylish and quite roomy for holding my iPhone, lip gloss, ID, money and keys. Color was a goldish champagne.

Amazing dress!
This dress was made for me! I am petite - 5'2.5" chest: 32C, 113lbs - I wore 3 inch heals - perfect. I had a small train in the back (probably because I am short) - I picked up extra fabric while on an escalator - otherwise not a problem. I was able to wear a nude strapless bra easily underneath. So many complements!

Versatile flattering top, made weekend casual with white shorts
I felt like this too was true to size. I am 5'2.5 " and 113 lbs. the xs fit really well. I wore this with white shorts and wedges to make it very casual but oh could dress up the top. The fit was flattering. The bell sleeves were a bit challenging trying to keep clean while eating dinner (reaching across the table to help my children with their food) but would be with any bell sleeve.

High quality, flattering fit - would rent again
This dress was perfect for the event I chose it for - my husband's work party. Would work well for daytime, work or a date. The cut was very flattering and the material was a really nice weight.

Love the idea of the dress but the fit was off
The pattern of this dress was right up my alley but the fit was odd. Maybe since I have had kids the cinched in waist is not for me? The slip that is attached to the dress was very tight in the bust area. My boobs are 32C so probably average. Perhaps if I had a smaller waist this would have worked.

Fun, versatile romper
I just received this in the mail and have not worn it out yet but I can tell that it will be comfortable. I should have chosen the size 0 since overall it could be a little tighter to be more flattering. I am taking off a star because the neckline plunges pretty deep. As you can see in the picture, in order for my bra not to show I have to wear an undershirt. Maybe the next size down would be a little bit better in this regard? You could definitely have decent size boobs and wear this romper. My music festival days are over but I could definitely see this as appropriate attire. I will be wearing out for a night with friends.

Vibrant and classy
FYI: this dress is more flattering in person. I am usually between a size 0 and 2 and chose the 2. In retrospect I should have chosen the size 0 since there is a lot of fabric around the midsection. That said, the waist is adjustable so I can make it as small as I would like. I am giving this dress 5 stars because I think the size 0 would be a perfect fit and I love the fabric and colors. Will be wearing this for Easter tomorrow!

Perfect fit, elegant dress
Wore this to my husband's office holiday party. The size zero worked but the 2 was more comfortable. Received complements all night long! I would consider renting again.

Very versatile bag
This is a great bag. The only reason I returned it so soon is due to wanting to try other pieces with my unlimited membership. I have twin toddlers - easily carried all the stuff I needed when going somewhere with my kids.

Elegant top
Loved this top - fit me perfectly so I would say it runs true to size. The only thing I was not crazy about it that it arrived super wrinkly. I assume that is just they way it would have to travel given the material (silk I think). But I am not a fan of ironing - if you do not mind, try the top!

Vibrant yet elegant top
This top was very versatile - could dress up or down. I wore it for a date night with my husband with a pair of skinny jeans and heels. Loved the color - great with my olive skin and dark hair. Love DVF!

Love this dress! Received many complements the night I wore the dress. The bust area was a bit large so I had to wear a nicely padded bra.
Member Fit Notes
This is a really fun and nicely constructed dress. I am petite 5' 2.5" and around 106-108 pounds and there is no way that I could fit into the XS. The small probably would have worked.

putting on the perfectly fitting dress
The dress was very flattering and I received many complements. I am 5'2 & 1/2 inches tall and weigh around 110 lbs. Usually dresses this length are too long for me but this nicely hit above my knees.

Very well made and stunning but because I am somewhat petite (5'3" and 107 pounds) even the smallest size dress had no shape on my body. Luckily I was able to remedy with a belt.
