Too tight around the waist
Cute dress, but very tight in the waist.

Great summer dress, so flattering! Wore it to a vineyard in the Hamptons and was perfect.
I"m 5'4", 140 lbs, 36C, and wore size 2R, which fit nicely. The smocking was still nice and fitted on the top, so going any smaller may have looked like I was squeezed in. Not too much fabric on the bottom, double lined, and pretty flower detailing. Needs a long necklace- I paired with a white tassel necklace and was perfect.

Pretty dress, not the most flattering. Runs large.
Unless you have super skinny arms, this dress will make you look like you have football player shoulders. Just the nature of the cut of the dress. It does run big.

GREAT dress! The directional lines on the dress are very flattering.
Very flattering dress- I'm self conscious of my stomach area after 2 kids, and the directional lines on the dress draw the eye away from your middle. The back is open and strappy, so just be aware if you are uncomfortable with an open back. But the ribbons to tie it in the back are really sweet. Great dress, I felt confident in beach photos with this on. For reference, I'm 5'4", 140 lbs, 37 yrs old.

Rented as a casual vacation dress.
Cute enough dress, and really nice weight, it hangs nicely. I wouldn't say it's the most flattering though unless you have an hourglass figure. The drawstring in the middle draws attention to your waist. For reference, I'm 5'4", 140 lbs, 37 yr old mom of 2, self conscious of stomach area....

I rented this for vacation but didn't end up wearing.
This skirt is adorable, and has a really great weight and drape to it, really swingy- my issue was with the flat panel around the hip area. It's really curve hugging in that area, and it somehow just really enhanced my hips, to a point that I wasn't comfortable wearing the skirt. I'm 5'4", 137 lbs, a bit of a mummy tummy, and it just didn't flatter that area. For someone a bit more in shape, it would be fabulous. Such a cute skirt, I wanted to love it, but not for me!

I rented this for vacation but didn't end up wearing.
I'm 5'4, 140 lbs, and the medium was way too boxy and long. It hit above the knee, but on my frame, I need something a tad shorter. The way the neckline comes together makes it all the more boxy looking, and the sleeves were on the looser side as well. I tried belting it, which helped the body of the dress, but the sleeves and neckline just made me look like a linebacker up top. Cute pattern though!

Really pretty!
Pretty earrings, a bit more interesting than your average drop earrings.

Gorgeous color and fabric
Really pretty dress, deep vibrant teal (more green than blue). The top half of the dress is super tight- the bottom half fit me great, but the halter area was super restrictive on my chest and shoulders. I'm 5'4", 140 lbs, 36C for reference. There was zero room for a bra. Wish I'd ordered the large, but may have been too big in the lower half.

Bombshell dress for the right body type
Rented for a wedding- normally a size 6/8, I rented a 10 based on others' reviews, which was the right size for me (5'4", 140 lbs, 36C). Fit beautifully from the front, hugs your curves in the right places, but the back cutout is awkward, IMO. It puckers terribly and doesn't lay flat. It makes the dress look too small for you, even when it fits perfectly. It bothered me too much to wear the dress- this was an emergency backup dress because my other that I rented was too small. I ended up wearing my too small original dress if that tells you how terrible the back looked on me. The way the model is standing in the picture with her back and shoulders arched forward a bit is not by chance, I assure you- you'd have to walk around like that all night to get the cutout to lay flat like in the pic.

Very cute and seems flattering but I ordered the wrong size. Should have ordered my regular size.
Based on how pics of how this looked on girls of similar body types to mine, I chose to order down a size, and I shouldn't have. 148 lbs, 5'5", 36C order size 8 (I ordered 6 and too small).

So much boob! The dress is gorgeous, but there is NOTHING to the chest area.
I like a good cleavage dress as much as the next girl, but this dress just shows so much skin. As a 36 year old mom of two, it felt inappropriate so I sent it back. Also, I'm usually a size 8 and based on reviews I ordered a 6, which did in fact fit. 148 lbs, 5'5", 36C. Just too booby.
