This dress worked well for taking a new (one month old) baby to a wedding. I could easily pull down the top to feed my baby at the event. The ruffles made it very forgiving for my softer-than-normal body, too. It was pretty long - I'm 5'6" and wore 3" heels and it was still grazing the ground (regular length), and I could have done with a bit more stretch in the neckline for nursing access (I have broad shoulders), but it was generally easy to wear. I didn't realize that the slip is short, and the skirt flows all the way down, but it provided plenty of coverage.

I ended up wearing the smaller of the two sizes I ordered - the larger had a lot of space, and I only regretted my choice after eating a very large dinner - it is pretty fitted at the waist, and the fabric does not have any stretch. The arm holes were not very generous, either, but they worked. Overall, this was a cute, interesting, easy to wear dress, without being too out there! It's also fairly short, so plan accordingly.

This dress was easy to wear. There is lots of space due to the shape, which was nice, but I probably could have even gone one size further down. A lot of reviews were concerned about the length, but that wasn't an issue at all for me (I'm 5'6"). I really liked the zipper to adjust how much of your chest shows - it even has a tiny bamboo detail on the zipper pull. I ended up wearing a racer-back bra with no issues, but I think most standard bras would be ok. The soft fabric of this dress was comfortable for a daytime event, but could be dressed up with the right accessories.

I rented this for my grandma's birthday - we all wore blue for family photos. I was unsure, because I hadn't worn a romper as an adult, but it worked well. I ended up not wearing a bra, because of the way the straps are, as well as the open area in the back, but you could wear a strapless bra and pin the opening in the back closed with no issue. The torso was a little bit long for me - the crotch hung a bit lower than I wanted it to - but since the fit is pretty flowy, it worked out fine. It also fit my sister very well - she's 5'10" and the 12R fit her just fine. For her we ended up pinning the opening in the back so her bra wouldn't show. It was comfortable for both of us to wear all day. (12R on left, 10R on right)

Despite interesting details (open back, split skirt on longer layer), this dress was so easy to wear! I wore it to a kids birthday party, and it was comfy all day. I'm exactly 5'6", and it was pretty long with flat shoes, but still wearable. I loved that I could wear a normal bra and it was easy to grab a sweater for the chilly morning.

The blue color of this dress is gorgeous, and the fabric was heavier weight than I anticipated - it felt a bit like a super smooth polyester tablecloth. The length and asymmetrical hem we're really flattering, but I had a lot of trouble with the fit of the top - the 8 was almost too small to get on (no zippers or anything, and no give to this fabric), so I wore the 10, which fit pretty loosely on the top, which I didn't think was as flattering as it could have been on my (somewhat) broad shoulders and small chest. On both the hook and eye closure to keep the wrap wrapped was in a weird location - one of the dresses actually had a safety pin left in when it arrived, so I ended up using that to close the top of the dress in a better spot. Overall, this was easy to wear, but could have been more flattering on my body type. I almost forgot to add this - if it fits you like it fit me (broader shoulders, smaller bust) it would be a great dress for easy nursing access.

The dress is pretty fitted at its waist, but otherwise easy to fit. Not long - I'm not super tall and it showed a lot of leg, so be ready for that.

As other reviewers said, there is very little stretch in the shoulders and arms, so I ended up wearing the larger of the sizes I ordered. This dress is a beautiful color, and easy to wear. Since I had to size up, the dress felt a little heavy (the smaller size was more flattering around my waist, but moving my arms is important!), but otherwise I liked it and got tons of compliments!
