Beautiful formal dress
I decided this was too formal for the wedding I was attending, but it is a beautiful dress. Very fitted through the hips, but it still works on a pear shape. High quality, heavy fabric.

Cute style
True to size, which meant it was too large in the bust for me. I rented it for a wedding, but didn't like it enough to wear it for that. Wore it to work just for fun and got compliments on my "party dress." The lace on the sides is a great accent (FYI the lace is sheer...so if you wear a bra it shows through a little bit). The full skirt with petticoat is fun, but it does bunch up a bit when you sit.

Comfortable and classy
I'm between sizes and I ordered up because sometimes shirt dresses are cut slim through the hips. However, this dress has a very full skirt, so the 6 was a little too large. I still wore it and it was very comfortable, but it felt like an excess of fabric. Also, I've never worn a shirtdress with a lining before - feels fabulous! Nice fabric, pattern, and overall dress design. Perfect for work or a casual summer outing.

Dreamy
Fit pretty well - a touch tight around the ribs. If you don't like something right up against your neck, you won't like it. I rented it to wear to a wedding, but I felt it looked a little too much like a bridesmaid dress and my husband didn't really like it, so I just wore it to work. :) A little formal, but it was comfortable and swishy/floaty - a nice summer dress. Order the long if you want to wear heels with it.

Glamorous
Beautiful dress - I considered wearing it for my wedding, but ended up purchasing a similar one instead of renting. A little too large in the top for small boobs, but otherwise a good fit. Definitely for a formal event - I couldn't think of anywhere to wear it when I rented it. The material is fantastic - heavy and silky and swishy.

Great look
Wore this to a "luau" and it was a hit. Very comfortable, good for an outdoor event because the skirt doesn't blow around too much in a breeze, but the slits keep it from getting too warm.

Style didn't look good on me
I like how it looks in the photo, but thought it looked frumpy on me, so I didn't end up wearing it. Might look better in a smaller size so it doesn't hang quite as loose, but I'm not sure. The regular length was a bit short - if you're over 5'7" and wearing flats or shorter and wearing heels, you might want to order the long size.

Super cute!
I can usually wear a 4 or a 6 in dresses, but I think the 4 would have been too tight around the ribcage, even though there would have been plenty of room in the hips (my normal trouble area). Too short to wear to work (hit mid-thigh), but perfect for a party. Great color, pattern, and fit. I am small on top and didn't feel like there was too much extra fabric, as often happens in dresses. Would definitely wear again.

Didn't wear
Not the right proportions for a pear shape. The size 6 fit in the hips, but was too large on top (I'm a 34AA). Beautiful dress, though.

Great color and pattern
Fit well, though as other reviewers have said, you should size up for more coverage, as it tends to gape at the bottom when sitting or walking. I wore a bralette underneath to cover top gaping, which I have a problem with with any low neck top as a small-chested woman. Fairly flattering. Not too clingy on problem spots.
