Stands out in a crowd!
This dress made a statement! I loved the colors and the slit. I usually can wear either a 2 or 4, but there was a noticeable bagginess to the 4 so I went with the 2. It was tight in the bust (so much that it wouldn't zip with the added structure of a strapless bra, I went with sticky) and hips, but had a pooch in the stomach and above my butt - not very noticeable, but was odd. As others have said, the straps were long so I knew going in they would need consistent attention. Overall a good pick!

Fun and form-fitting!
The pattern is so pretty and once on the dress was easy to wear. I wasn't sure about the Italian sizing; the 38 and 40 seemed to be almost exactly the same in fit and feel. I went with the larger just in case it started to feel too tight later in the night, but I had no problems. A strapless bra worked nicely and the thick neoprene-like material would allow for any underwear. Silver shoes that I hardly ever get to wear paired well for just the right semi-formal look!

Easiest formal dress ever!
Even though I wish I could have tried the XS, it was unavailable and the S fit very well. Loved the flowy bottom, adjustable straps, and padded top - no bra needed. Made it through two weddings in one day (with two hours in the car) and was still comfortable at the end of the night.

Comfortable, but not cute. Confirmed my opinion of (Meh)dewell.
First time trying a slip dress and I don't understand the obsession. Fit was boxy and not flattering. I liked the side slits that made it a little more interesting and the adjustable straps. The material said silk, but was not shiny at all, wrinkled very easily, had lots of loose threads, and showed every sign of sweat. Wore a strapless bra easily, dressed up for the wedding with cute wedges and down after for a more casual night out. Comfortable, good color, but overall meh.

Fun and comfy for bach bash!
This jumpsuit was great! Super fun for our all black bride tribe. Definitely runs small - I couldn't even try on my regular size. The size up was still snug lengthwise (I have a long torso), but comfortable and felt like it stretched the tiniest bit throughout the night. The material is thick and has some small waist detailing that doesn't really get picked up in pictures, zippers on calves, plus pockets! Wore a strapless bra with no problems. 100% recommend!

Not your average LDB for date night!
Some reviewers thought this dress ran small, but my regular size fit just right! It was pretty comfortable for such a fitted dress, even if I couldn't quite take a full breath (the middle band doesn't have much stretch - this also made the zipper stick going up). I was able to wear a racerback bra easily and had no panty line issues. The modest knee length gave balance to the high slit. Enjoyed wearing this fancier than usual LBD for a fancier than usual date night!

Great for a more modern 20s look!
The sparkle and pattern were perfect for a 20s party! Usually I wear a small, but it was all around too tight and I could barely get the zipper up. The backup medium felt great! There was a small pooch at the shoulder seam (the sleeves were plenty long) that was easy to ignore. The sleeves prevented any sequin scratchiness. The material was thick enough that I was comfortably warm and any underwear would work. A strapless bra pulled low in the back worked well, a few other reviewers went without, but no bra didn’t look right on me. A great first experience with Dress the Population! Love their style and this dress!

Classy and comfortable!
Not quite as red as it looks in the pictures, more of a deep berry that is gorgeous! Wore it to a black tie optional dinner and got so many compliments. The material was thick enough to be comfortable, but not too hot on a September night in Texas. Didn’t have to worry about underwear lines showing and the built in cups (about double the thickness of a generic swimsuit insert, not padded) worked so that I didn’t have to wear a bra. Paired with 3” nude heels that had the hem just skimming the ground, silver colored 3 ball dangle earrings for a bit of edge, and low side ponytail to show off the awesome back cutouts. Loved it!
