Very deep v neck
Good quality sweater, but for me, the V-neck was way too deep. I couldn’t wear it without something under it, but anything I put under. It looked like a early 2000s throwback of layering a Cami and I wasn’t into that look. Unfortunately, I ended up not wearing this.

Don’t size up
I sized up, following the advice of the other reviews and I regret it! This top was way too big for me, I should’ve just taken my regular size. I was unable to wear it because you can’t wear a bra with it very easily and size up meant it was gaping large on me. Cute style but don’t size up.

Thick and beautiful
Beautiful, thick neck, dress, laid very nicely over my hips and belly. Dress was super warm on a cold nyc night and happy I rented it. Considered buying it too!

Meh
The fit through the straps of the under-dress leaves a lot to be desired. Appears more vibrant in online photos.

Obsessed
Just rent this dress. Loved it so much I bought it. Didn’t need a bra, bust was supported, and wore on a hot summer day and felt perfectly breezy.

Beautiful & unique!
Loved this dress for a summer wedding- it's very unique, the colors are vibrant and so fun. The only thing I didn't like was that the seams on the sides of the dress never stayed in place, it was always twisting slightly so the slit was always in the wrong spot. Took a bit of constant repositioning to make sure the dress was sitting "right". Overall loved this and felt super confident in it!

Thick, tight, runs small
I’m curvier on bottom (waist 30, hips 43)— but I routinely wear fitted size 10/12 clothes without issue— not this dress though! Literally couldn’t zip over my hips. So disappointing! The fabric was also very thick for what seems like a spring/summer dress. If you are curvy I don’t recommend this one!

Not big boob friendly
Not big boob friendly. Mine aren’t even very big (36D) and it was busting out and flattening at the same time? Also while it does have adjustable straps, neither I nor my husband could make them budge. So the straps really aren’t adjustable depending on which dress you get, I’d guess. The rest of the dress is fine- it does sort of look like a nightgown but the color is lovely. But the fit in the chest was just awful, sadly I won’t be wearing this one.

SKINTIGHT but pretty!
VERY body ody ody so if you don’t want it to show your every curve, pass. That said I loved it, beautiful soft yellow color. Only cons were that it’s a little long (I’m 5’7 and in three inch heels in the picture) and that the inner liner rides up a little. I wouldn’t personally feel comfortable wearing this to a wedding but a date night for sure.

Seams are meh but gorgeous color
Fit was okay but I just didn’t like the way the seams looked on my body. Busy was pretty tight and I took a medium, am a 36C. Could definitely wear without a bra. The color is the best part, the fabric feels like cool to the touch linen so would be good in summer. I don’t think I’ll be wearing it however.

Not bad, not what I expected
Fabric was not what I expected- more of a soft cotton than what I thought it would be. The fit was okay, it was tight in the hips/butt/stomach on me, but fit perfectly in the waist and bust (waist 30, hips 43). I read reviews saying it cut low on the side but I found it to be modest on the side boob area! The tie at the waist really didn’t add anything, and it didn’t end up looking as formal as I’d expected. I may try to wear this out for a lunch date or something, it’s definitely more daytime.

Awful fit, beautiful dress
This fit was way off. I wear an 8/10 and have big hips/butt (waist 30, hips 43) and this fit loose in the top, and way too tight in the bottom. Additionally the zipper is diagonal up the side of the dress and looks strange, and on one side of the bust there wasn’t enough coverage, with too much fabric on the other side. I tried adjusting the one strap but it did not help. The highlight of this dress is the material and the gorgeous ombre pattern. It is truly a beautiful dress, I’m so sad the fit was SO bad. Avoid this one if you are more amble on bottom!

Oversized & Cozy
I loved this jacket!! It was so cozy, warm, and stylish. The size large was the only one available, so I went with it, but it was still perfect!

Fabulous, comfy
Beautiful dress, runs generally true to size but a hair small. I wore the size large to accommodate hips/butt and the top/waist was a little loose but it didn't affect the overall look. Wore this to a black tie work event and felt gorgeous. It's somewhat conservative due to the length and small amount of skin exposed but the off the shoulder top & bodycon fit still made it glam. I got many compliments & felt beautiful. It was even pretty comfortable! Nice and stretchy material.

Stretch & Stunning
Loved wearing this dress- I felt very glamorous and it looked much better in than it does in the model photo. The slit is appropriate, the neckline is flattering. The material is stretchy and comfortable, and was very flattering. I'd highly recommend this dress!

Stunner
This dress is gorgeous. A stunning true red, and a beautiful cut. I love the high neck and fitted body! The negatives first- this dress definitely does not have very much "give" to the fabric so it was a little tight through the hips and butt, but not too much that made it uncomfortable. Not a ton of bending over/squatting mobility in this dress either, again, since the fabric doesn't have much give. Also the neckline made it impossible to find a bra that worked with the dress besides a strapless bra, so I ended up not wearing one at all and it looked just fine. So with those things in mind, I'll also say that I got loads of compliments on tis dress, and felt like a million bucks in it. I would absolutely rent this again, so even with those tricky things, it was worth it.

Too revealing
Very tight fit, not particularly forgiving fabric either, shows every little bump and lump. My biggest complaint however was the slit-- it is insanely high, and made me uncomfortable to wear it to an event.

Did not wear
Beautiful dress, but fit was terrible for me. I have a short torso & big hips, so I was hoping the waist of this dress would cinch at the right place-- it did not. The waist ended up being a full inch and a half lower than my natural waist and looked highly unflattering. I did not end up wearing it. The dress itself is beautiful, but short torso ladies, it probably isn't right for you.

Gorgeous color, beautiful cut.
I wore this dress to a wedding & holy cow. I got tons and tons of compliments, and I felt stunning all night long. The fit was true to size, and it was actually quite flattering as someone with wide hips. The fabric was rougher than I'd imagined, but it didn't bother me. The length made the dress feel appropriate for a wedding despite being strapless and quite fitted. My only complaint was the slit in the back was starting to fray- likely just due to wear and tear. It was a little thing but also could be fixed quite easily.
