Perfect for Hourglass
Fall family photo dress. I sized down from my usual 12 and the dress fit well. I used fashion tape to conceal the bust area. Long on me at 5'9" with a heeled boot. It's beautiful. Photographs well. Comfortable and flattering. Will rent again/purchase.

Great quality, cute!
Loved the thick material and cute buttons. Wish the item was sized accurately! I dislike having to get a 2XL when I'm normally a M/L. Anyhow I would order this again.

Classic & Chic
Bust of my usual size was too large for me. I wore a sticky bra so the back could remain unobstructed. The material is heavy. Literally a prison made of fabric. I chose to wear stockings so less of the material touched my skin. All that said, it's beautiful and I had many compliments.

Big in Bust & Waist
I'm a true 12 with an hourglass frame. This dress is beautiful but I had 4 inches of fabric at the waist and a couple inches in the bust. No way I could wear it. I'd suggest sizing down. Maybe I'll try again but WINTER IS COMING!

It's a small 10, especially in the hip and buns. If you are a 12 or bigger, forget about this one.

Was too tight for me.
True to size, make sure to order your usual. It looks big but it's not.

Boobie but Memorable
I wore a stick on bra and fashion tape. The dress is a little scandalous on top but I enjoyed it for a night!

A Beautiful Textile Prison
This is a beautiful dress that was very uncomfortable. I didn't get a photo bc I was so excited to take it off. If you wear the shoulder band as you are supposed to, it rubs your arm raw and as others have stated, you cannot lift your arms. If you wear the band under your arms it rubs your skin raw there. The fabric is winter weight. My dress was loose in the waist and as a 12 I could have worn the M. Hubby loved it and said I looked beautiful enough to justify discomfort. Compliments from all around.

Lots of fun, runs very small
I'm a M/L and the XL is tight at the arms. I liked it best with a sticky bra as shown. Tried it with a black bra and it showed through too much on the sides. It's also a little too cropped for me. Love the designer and the fabric is very thick. Connect with me and my style on Instagram @the_things_she_wore

Flattering; Runs Big
There are a lot of good points about this dress. It's flattering to the bust, waist and hips. I wore a bralette underneath. It's lightweight and only lined on top. Great slit in front. On the negative side, the embroidery is very itchy and uncomfortable against the skin. The arm fit me well but could be tight on some. Quality is lacking for a dress in this price point. I sized down from a 12 to a 10. Good choice for short term wear! See more of my style and connect with me on Instagram @the_things_she_wore

Classy & Classic
I like the fit of this dress! It flatters the bust and is slim through the hip even though it has pockets. Your bra straps will likely show in the back unless you wear a strapless, and the sleeves do slip off which is a bit annoying. The linen is also very prone to wrinkles, though it is a thick fabric. Fun to wear and return! See more of my style and connect with me on Instagram @the_things_she_wore

Not for long torso/large rear
I love the animal print trend and wanted to try this even though I'm usually unlucky with jumpsuits due to my long torso. I can get it on but it's skin tight and uncomfortable. You also need someone to help you tie the back. The entire suit is lined which is nice but creates shifting when it's too tight. Same thing with the pockets. They add volume to the hip area. I chose a strappy black bralette for underneath and it looked great. Most of the back is open. Great length and draping. If I were a size smaller it may have worked. The large was the biggest size.
