Worth the effort
I agree with other reviews stating this can be difficult to button. However, as a nursing mother of two, I was surprised how flattering and supportive this top is without a bra. Too cumbersome to button and unbutton when nursing a baby but I recommend it otherwise.

Flattering, Great fit for curvy petite
Ordered as a backup option and decided this was more appropriate for a black tie summer wedding. Required a quick steam before wearing. At 5 feet tall, I needed high heels to keep the dress just above the ground. I was worried the top would reveal more than intended, but it stayed in place quite well even while dancing. Lots of compliments. Would rent again.

Flattering fit for petite curvy figure
This is a cropped fit even on my short frame. Effortless casual yet cute look paired with high waisted jeans.

Wrong proportions for curvy petite frame
Not flattering on my curvy petite pear shaped frame. The hips were narrow and the top of the dress was too long such that there was a lot of extra material in the back just below the neck.

Flattering even for curvy petite
Wore it twice and would rent again. No shapewear needed. Few gaps in the buttons at the bust but it was easy to secure the fabric closed.

Not for pear shapes
The hips were fairly narrow but the top was too big so sizing up would not have fixed the problem.

Not for petites
While these fit great in the hips and thighs, length was very odd for someone with short stature. The waist was also larger than I expected. Sizing down the hips likely would have been too small.

Comfortable for wear all day at work
the material stretches and I had to adjust it a few times throughout the day. Otherwise the fit was fine on my curvy petite pear shaped frame.

Okay for curvy petites
This was presentable with good shapewear on my curvy petite pear shaped frame, but would have been much better if made for petite proportions

Flattering for curvy petite shape
Flattering on my curvy petite pear frame even without shapewear! I did wear a tank underneath due to the low cut neckline.

More flattering when back ties are also used as a belt
Very long on my 5'0" pear shaped frame but very flattering. Wore as shown on the model and also using the ties as a belt as some of the other reviewers have shown in the photos. Would rent again.

Very comfortable. Nice fit for curvy petites.
Fit surprisingly well for my curvy petite frame. I have wider hips so sized up to XL and the adjustable straps allow some customization for the top. Very cute. Comfortable after wearing all day.
