Sexy old Hollywood glamour feel.
This fit perfectly in the size 6R (US 2R). Remember, it's UK sizing. Definitely agree with all the reviews; it's a very very sexy dress. It has more of a sultry feel, so depending on your comfort level, it's not inappropriately sexy. I have a smaller chest, so luckily I didn't have to worry much about the top, but that is definitely something I'd absolutely factor in when thinking about this dress in general. I felt very glamorous (I was surprised) when wearing this dress.

Love the silhouette and color, runs small
This is a gorgeous dress. The silhouette emphasized my waist and, though it was a tighter fitted fabric with a bit of stretch, it did not cling in areas I didn't want it to. The fabric is not too thin, which I like, especially with a lighter color, but definitely not too thick / heavy for summer. I ordered the 2R because I am a 2 or 4 depending on the brand, and the only available size for this last minute rental was the 2. It is fitted around the chest. It has almost a smoothing kind of effect, but for me, the 2 was too tight to wear. I could tell it would be a really flattering dress in the next size. I will definitely rent again, just size up.

Beautiful asymmetry and print, inaccurate fit description. Wish I could have worn.
Loved the shape and print of this dress. I was really looking forward to wearing this to a "high tea" party. I ordered the S, my usual size, for my main size, but did not order a backup size because the size M was unavailable; I ordered a backup style instead. The fit description for this dress advised to go a size up in the backup size because the style runs small. This is absolutely not the case. The S was SO big to the point where the dress made me look much bigger because it was so boxy, at least an inch and a half too large around my waist. I am not used to sizing charts or recommended sizes being that off nor my being smaller than my usual size. I even tried to belt it, and it was that much bigger than the suggested sizing and size chart that I felt too insecure to wear it even though I loved the bottom cut and asymmetry of the style. I really wish that I knew the S was going to run bigger because the XS was available as a backup size, and I would have ordered this and believe a size down would have fit nicely. If I knew to order the XS as the backup, I probably would have worn this dress rather than my backup style. However, the way the asymmetry falls is very unique, as is the print, and I may consider ordering it again in a size down from my usual and the recommended sizing.

Effortless, bold and chic! I felt so unbelievable in this dress!
This dress was so beautiful in person, the photos do not do the colors and print justice. It is definitely fitted, but is is longer than I expected it would be, which I did not mind at all; it hit me just below the knee. The material is a bit heavier, which is awesome because it does not cling in a way that is unflattering, and I did not have to wear a bra, which I always love. Not much accessorizing is needed because this is meant to make a statement on its own. I wore this to a semi-formal Sunday afternoon bridal shower, and colorful open toed sandals with a stacked wood heel dressed it down perfectly paired with simple drop earrings that had slight blue detailing in the same blue shade as the shoes.

Loved it, but too long for my height
Fantastic color and silhouette that emphasized my waist in a really flattering way. The neckline is sexy in an understated way, which I loved! I did not end up wearing this (size 4R) unfortunately because it was too long with the shoes that I had; I am just under 5'4". I definitely recommend it to someone who is either a bit taller or who has higher heels!

Black tie elegant meets effortless ease!
Fit like a glove! The silhouette was so slimming and very understatedly chic. I was worried about how heavy the fabric would be because I wore this for a black tie wedding in the summer, but it was completely fine and so breathable. It had just the right amount of stretch without pinching in any unflattering ways, and it was not too long for my height when paired with heels. Highly recommend!
