I'm a 35A/B and the 2 would not zip fully
The material is beautiful, but beware the chest on this dress is probably more true to size. A 4 would have fit great I assume. However, I did not love the seams that do not lay flat on either side by my hips - they made my shape look larger.

Not Pear Shape Friendly
My business partner fit this dress beautifully (as pictured) - it just did not fit me in a flattering way. Her size is 6/8, she wore a 6 so this runs a tad on the bigger size.

Fits like a glove
The cape aspect is a saving grace for pear shapes...I could have fit an 8 I'm guessing, so runs slightly small

Love the top half
Bottom half just wasn't as pear friendly as I was hoping for. Not a horrible option, just found a more flattering dress in a different rental.

Sleeves are perfection & print is fun, everything else is off
Sleeves are flattering and the perfect balancing act. Waist was swimming. Bottom half wasn't as flattering as I imagined. Strange fit overall.

Wear for the message not the comfort
More of a stiff sweatshirt, but not uncomfortable. I usually wear a S/M and ordered an XL which fit perfectly.

I like overalls a tad baggy, but not too short
These overalls are cute, but I didn't wear them more than once - just not flattering. I probably should have ordered a 29, but the length would have been shorter.

All sorts of (short dress) YES but size UP
Based on other reviewer's body stats I originally tried a size 2 and could barely get it on over my head - chest area was so tight and I'm a 35B, also it was dangerously short so I sized up two sizes to a 6 and so happy I did. I can appreciate the beauty of this piece now.

Not my favorite fit
Love camo, but these just need a different body than mine - rise was strange and the zipper also seemed a tad bit off center. A little on the stiff side, but worth a try.

Huge on top, runs large on bottom
REALLY cute and comfy - I want to buy this, but I can't because it doesn't fit. I'll try the XS and see if I have more luck, but I like the way the S fits on bottom so I'm worried the XS will be too tight...such a strange fit.

Beautiful bag, just a tad bigger than I loved
I can see why this bag has rave reviews - and I agree, it's pretty, practical, and holds a lot, but it was just a little larger than what I would want for my everyday purse - I don't carry a ton with me and I'm on the petite side.

Silky but not see-through
Order two sizes down from your normal size if your chest is on the smaller side.

Meh
It's not very comfortable material and lacks in the flattering department - I would leave the house in it, but not an item I would want holding up a space in my rotation.

The 8 fits more like a 4/6
Love the forward thinking design, but the price tag doesn't match the product. Also, really hard to find something to wear with it as the material is so thin it shows anything tucked in underneath.

Runs small and arrives wrinkled
The zipper has seen better days from what I'm guessing is smaller than usual sizing. Size up if you want to try this and be sure an iron or steamer is nearby.

Yikes - these are too high waisted and stiff
Material is like a rough canvas and fit doesn't work for me. Color is fun and length is perfect for 5'3"
The Ultra High Waist Jean
Current/Elliott
Size Worn: 29
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 128lbs
Bust: 34B
Nicer material (not for running errands), but fit is WAY off
This is not your throw on everyday in warm weather dress. The black material up top is restrictive under arms and the bottom portion is hugely billowy - the size differential from top to bottom is vast. I'm a pear shape, this should work well for me, but it sadly doesn't.
Black Printed Plisse Dress
ADEAM
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 3"

Conflicted on fit, but overall good option
Underarm circumference is a bit tighter than I like. Lower half of dress is huge, but hem design is adorable! Super conflicted.
Daniela Dress

Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 128lbs
Bust: 34B
Bright, flattering, but LONG
I'm just under 5'3" and with 3" Soludos this is still dragging on the ground. I appreciate the built in bra padding and adjustable straps. I might have to buy this and get it hemmed.
Melody Maxi Dress
Lilly Pulitzer
Size Worn: 6R
Usual Size: 6

Cute and belt is very size friendly
Great for amusement parks - belt is incredible with a wide range of sizing - and lightweight, would rent again.

Perfect for work - even on a pear body
The way the bottom portion is ruffled and the top is cut this could be imagined as a boxy dress which for most pear shaped bodies are not flattering; however, I'm so happy I gave it a try because it is really fun and great for a work event.
Long Sleeve Ruffle Dress
Jason Wu
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 128lbs
Bust: 34B
Not the most flattering, but good in a pinch
Light, thin, and cute design for smaller chested women; however, hips are accentuated. You can also see my nipples line up with the seam point which draws more attention - not my favorite.
Collage Shirting Dress
Tibi
Size Worn: 4R
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 128lbs

UGH - so wanted this one to work
The style is incredible, but the fit falls flat - not flattering in the least as the bottom portion billows in the wrong way. Such a missed opportunity with this dress unfortunately.
Colorblock Camille Dress
Tibi

Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 3"

Heavy material, but SO fun
Fit accentuates waist - if your waist is small and curves are kickin' this needs to be in your rotation. Adjustable straps are nice and material is ultra soft and cozy, but very heavy in the skirt. Perfect length for petite girls as it skims the floor at 5'3" and looked great with wedge sandals

Not for me
The cute front just couldn't outweigh the fit for me...also, the wrinkles were pronounced and it wasn't the most flattering

Size Worn: 10
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 128lbs
Bust: 34B
Underwhelming
It's very see-through: standing in any sort of light will garner an undie show, not a flattering cut, and left me feeling like I wanted to take it off quickly. The price point also seems highly inflated for what it is. I could see this being used as a bikini cover up in a warm locale
Printed Coco Dress
Warm
Size Worn: 1R
Usual Size: 6

Weight: 128lbs
Bust: 34B
Order 1-2 sizes larger
FIT // I'm a solid 28/29 in jeans so I was indecisive if I should try the 30 or 31 and the 30 fit snug, but 'held in snug' not 'uncomfortable snug' Waist tends to be tighter than expected and the length is very long; however, it folds under nicely and unnoticed (see my photo for one leg not folded under) PROS // stylish for days, love the button detail and super soft

The uniqueness of this dress SLAYS
9/10 - it's truly one of those dresses you put on and feel elevated in (2) Cons - no flexibility under arms where ribbon lays above chest therefore if it is fitted you will suffer from the equivalent of muffin top for under your arms and it made me feel self conscious ... also, it can wrinkle from shipping which doesn't make it ready to wear

I liked aspects of it
It was too tight on my hips, the slip showed from under the dress (annoying to adjust every few minutes) but the overall vibe was fun - if this cut was different it would be a winner

Side angle screams maternity dress
Tight on top (I'm an A/B cup and 35") and the pleat in the front causes unflattering billowing and this is WITH spanx on. Would be an awesome maternity dress. Not recommended for those who want to look slender from the side as well as the front.

Nice, but little wow factor
Best part of this dress is the back. I'm 5'3" 128 lbs and the 6 was a bit snug, but wearable.

Amusement park perfection
The belt fits a wide range from XS-XL, holds iphone 7+, thin wallet, thin keys, and lip balm. Magnetic close is powerful which I liked because the items were secure. The overall feel is a bit heavy, but not noticeable until you take it off after wearing all day. I'm not a fan of the red side color because I very seldom wear red and it doesn't easily match with other colors. Solid 4/5 belt purse - would consider renting again for a vacation.

Love the creativity, but not for me
This is very tight in the waist and I have a small waist. I would size up, but be aware the chest area is true to size and the waist runs 2-3 sizes smaller. I would estimate this size 10 has a size 4 waist.

Strange Fit
Snug up top and around waist / bottom portion of skirt too much material. It was "ok" could have worked for my work event (with some sort of nipple coverage), but I have time so aiming higher.

Solid 3.5 Stars
Yes, beauty in simplicity (and A-Line dresses); however, I didn't feel magical in this like I expected to. The back is really pretty so plan on an updo if this works to your liking.

Try this dress
It will surprise you with how well made, structured, and forgiving it is.

High waisted is an understatement
These almost come up to my bra! So tight and flattering - comfy jegging feel. Hide everything and somehow make you feel like a teen. My husband saw my hiney and said, "Dear God, buy those immediately - no, I'll buy them for you!" So if your guy is a butt guy you need to get these as they are the gift that women love (slender and conceal) and men love more (bootie-tastic).

Not the Pear Friendliest
It's not horrible. Has a cute theme. Just not the knock out formal for me as it doesn't flatter my lower body curves.
