Beautiful colors
I wore this for a garden party gala at a museum and it was perfect for the setting. I wear between a 12 and 14 and this fit like a glove. I'm very tall so the waist hit a little high on me, but that's normal. Gorgeous length and bright, festive colors.

Light and airy and loose
So this dress has no defined waist. It is beautiful, but it is very tent-ish. I could have worn it but the weather got too cold randomly. Gorgeous dress, just be warned that it doesn't not give you any shape. Would be great for a bump to hide under there.

Fun and flirty but short.
Far too short for my 6'1" frame. The XL fit me perfectly, I'm normally a 12. The straps are flimsy and I can see how on a shorter person they would be too long. They worked fine on me, however the dress was still far too short.

12 too small, 14W HUGE
I rented this for a garden derby party and knowing how ML fits me, I got the 12 (my size) and the next size up 14W. The 12 was so narrow through the shoulders (I do not have overly broad shoulder) and small through the arm holes that I couldn't get it zipped. It was also very short through the top that the bust seam was hitting above my boobs. I thought I'd be fine with the 14W since it was the next size up but, nope - it was an enormous sack. Literally hung off my body. I didn't wear either.

Beautiful dress, strange fit
I am always a 12 in Kate Spade and the 12 in this dress was very narrow across the shoulders and very tight through the waist. The 14 fit fine in the waist but the shoulders were loose and the darts on the bust were very high. I'm a long person (6'1") and I found it strange the it was still too long for me. I wore it and it was beautiful, but it could have fit better.

Sweet, sweet dress
I wore this for my twin girls' 3rd birthday, a tea party. It was light enough to be comfortable outside but still had a sweet, slightly retro vibe to it. Fits TTS, standard bra.

Disco fabulous
Super fun and comfy sequin dress. I wore this for a Studio 54 themed party and it was perfect. I'm a size 12, 6'1" and the L fit well but was far too short with the slit being in the front, so I wore the XL but still had that perfect wrap dress disco vibe. Skipped a bra, the dress conceals well. Very comfortable! Highly recommend.

Gorgeous dress, very comfy.
This dress is beautiful. I ended up not wearing it because my other option was a little more flattering. This dress is bump friendly!! Great for anyone trying to conceal a midsection pre or post baby. Gorgeous detail, beautiful fall/winter. It definitely runs a little big, I wear a 12 and it was slightly roomy. I'm tall, so the straps being long wasn't an issue, could be on a shorter person. Size down if you are between sizes.

I'm just too tall for this
I'm 6'1" and I hoped ordering up a size would help but it didn't. It still pulled through the crotch a bit but honestly I think the biggest issue was my straight frame. Since I have a straighter waist and narrow hips, this really didn't give me much shape and there was too much extra fabric at the bottom which made my look flatter in back than normal. If you are curvy with a small waist and under 5'11", this would probably look awesome. Had to return.

Adorable!
It's large on top so if you are in between sizes, take that into account. Gorgeous fabric was perfect for a country club luncheon.

Too short to wear
Very cute dress, I'm 6'1" and wear a size 12 but was far too short to wear in public. It does not appear to be an extremely short dress in the photo, but it was not wedding shower appropriate, so slightly disappointing and was returned.
