Wow, wow, WOW!
If you're not afraid to show off your curves, rent the hell out of this dress! It's so unbelievably flattering, it hides everything and makes you look and feel like a million dollars! I wore this to a bridal shower and got sooooooo many compliments of the dress and how it looked on me.

Too small & Too Large?
This dress is gorgeous, simple and can be incredibly versatile. However, this dress was simultaneously too small in the bust, and too big in the waist. Once again, if you're large chested and short waisted, this dress may lay on you in a way that's not figure flattering.

A little less flattering for this short waisted gal
It's a beautiful dress but having a large bust and short/small waist, it really didn't do my body shape any favors. Because of other reviews that the floral design doesn't have stretch and it can cut into the chest, I didn't feel like I could go with a smaller size... which proved to be true for me. There was just a gap between my breast and my waist where the dress wouldn't lay flat on my skin, making me look a little frumpy in that area. As for the length, for some 5'6, you can get away with either a petite or regular. I'm flat footed in the photo, but a four inch heel still looked nice.

Great cropped sweatshirt!
I loved this sweatshirt and wore it more times than I would like to admit! I mostly wore it with black leggings and white sneakers. The crop and band at the bottom has to be what I loved most about it. As a short waisted girl, a flattering and baggy crop top is not easy to find and this was perfect.

Great Over Sized Cartigan
Yes it's oversized and you do not need to order larger then your normal size. The material is thick and hangs so nicely over your body. On me, the length went just below the bum. I paired it with a tight black shirt, under the buttoned cardigan, a pair black wide leg jeans and booties. It looked effortless and gave serious cool girl vibes.

Stunning! Love it!
Like other reviews, this dress runs large. I kept going back and forth on renting a small or an extra small. Being large chested, I usually error on the side of going too big, so I rented a small... I chose wrong. Although the dress looked like a perfect fit, the top felt loose, it drove me crazy all night. The extra small would have fit wonderfully, not just in the chest, but in the overall fit. I still loved this dress and will rent again at the next opportunity!

Beautiful!
I wore this to a black tie wedding and got compliments galore. I think at the time of wearing this dress, I was around 145 pounds. I did have to use some fashion tape to hold some of the neckline together. Otherwise, there were no issue with the plunge. So comfortable and fun to dance in.

So Elegant
I wore this to a black tie wedding and felt like a million bucks. In a sea of black dresses, I really felt special in this one. The satin, the extra long sleeves, the simplicity of the back and the tiny rouging above the bum... it was perfect!

Standout Piece
This dress brings the energy - So many compliments and I loved standing out from everyone else. I'm short waisted, so the cutouts weren't that obvious on me. With shorter hair, the puffy sleeves definitely made me look a little wider than I would have liked though.

Too Cute!
I loved the structure and flirty-ness of this dress, the length was perfect, too. It was slightly tight in the chest, but honestly it was a non issue.

Fit perfect, but tight in the chest
Classic story, this dress fit me perfectly… but tight in the chest. I have a body shape that typically lends to this issue though. Otherwise, this dress is so sweet! I wore it to work, and to cover up the tightness in my chest, I threw a white sweater over my shoulders. The sweater gave it a younger and ultimate preppy vibe.

Iffy for the short waisted girlies
I love the concept of this jumpsuit! Like others have mentioned, the material does feel a little low quality and it wrinkles easily. However, I still really liked it… it just isn’t suited for my body type. I’m 5’6 and wearing heels in this picture, so the length was perfect. But because I’m short waisted, the mid section didn’t make me look elongated, instead, gathered around the top of my bum. Also, I have a large and full bust, and the chest area was all wrong for me. The width was just too narrow, it cause so much pulling that it exposed way too much side boob… and not in a cute way.

Such a fun dress!
I loved this dress so much, I held on to it for a while! Perfect party dress, perfect summer music festival dress, perfect date night dress. I loved the flow and lightness of this dress. I have large, augmented breast and worried about the top not fitting… I was held in with no issues!

Just Wow!
I wore this to a semi-formal summer wedding and it was everything! I swear this dress fit like it was tailored to my body. Just wish I had more reasons to wear a dress like this.

Perfect Summer Dress!
This dress is perfect for styling up or down! It being Madwell I was concerned that it would be too big. But I went with my normal size and it fit perfectly.

I loved everything about this jumpsuit. I wore it on a date night with my husband and while on vacation in Greece. It’s the perfect combination of cool, comfortable and sexy. Tons of compliments, I’ll certainly be purchasing this piece!
