Runs very small
It must be something about the width of my back, but I had to size up from my typical 4/6 to an 8. For reference, this is probably the only time I’ve needed an 8. I tried on the 4- wouldn’t zip. The 6 barely zipped and the 8 was very comfortable. It seemed very specific to the section of my upper back where it zips. It’s a beautiful dress& absolutely worth the process of finding the right size! The colors& texture are so vibrant and high quality.

Beautiful & comfortable.
The print on this dress is much prettier in person! It actually has some pink in it. Holding onto this dress for another membership cycle because it’s cotton, lightweight, cute, but completely modest enough for work events. Like someone else noted, it’s a true wrap dress so you have tons of flexibility with the fit. I love that the chest doesn’t gape at all like some dresses of this style do.

Better for taller figures, but still great!
I agree with another review that the top of the dress is very long, and even for someone with a lot of chest it was too big. The issue is that I’m not tall enough to tie the halter top appropriately. That being said, I’m normally a 4/6& I was still able to comfortably wear the size 6. I used tape to tape my chest together like a front bandeau top to avoid spilling out the sides and I don’t think it looked bad or big. I’m 5’4” with a longer torso. If you’re much shorter than that, you might not be able to make it work.

Comfortable & flattering
I probably could’ve worn a medium, but I ordered& wore a small. I didn’t wear any bra or tape& it was tight enough to feel secure dancing and walking a ton for a music festival. I’m a 4/6 and a 32DDD. Like others said, it’s lightweight fabric and has some stretch to it. If I were even an inch bigger anywhere, I would’ve for sure needed the medium.

Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 4"

Bust: 32DDD/E
Too tight on bust& large on bottom
My size wasn’t available (4) so I tried a 2& it was too small on the bust, which wasn’t that surprising. However, I don’t think I would’ve liked a bigger size because the waist was already a bit loose. This dress is very formal in person- a bit like a politician look. The skirt is very full. I think this would be better suited for someone who wants to look more formal and is okay with the dress being oversized on bottom. I didn’t wear it.

Beautiful it wrinkles! Close to perfect.
This dress is beautiful- great fabric and I love that the fit is basically a skirt with an elastic waistband and then a top with buttons and a tie. I sized down and the shoulders felt a little tight at first but I stopped noticing within a few minutes. The dress has pockets, the print is beautiful. The neck is low but just high enough to wear to work. My only complaint is how wrinkly it is from sitting. It wrinkled like this almost immediately. Otherwise it is so close to being the perfect, comfy, sophisticated dress! I would definitely rent again.

VINCE.

Super fun and flattering!
Beautiful, fun print! I ended up pairing this with high waisted jeans for a networking event and got tons of compliments on it. The sleeves were shorter on me than in some of the reviews, but I didn't mind that because it fit in the shoulders and bust with my normal size.

A little bit too small in the bust.
This is a beautiful dress with nice thick, soft fabric and a beautiful print. It fit everywhere but the bust- at least for the occasion I was wanting it for. If I would've been okay with showing more skin, it was flattering, but I didn't wear it because it didn't match the context I wanted it for.

Not flattering for hourglass shape.
This dress technically fit (40R), but the shape was all wrong. It was fitted on the arms/chest and unflattering/uncomfortable, but then loose in the midsection. I imagine it was designed with someone taller than me with a more "straight" body type and did nothing for my curves. I also received it without the belt, but didn't like it enough to reorder with the belt.

Hard to know where to wear it
I ordered the large based on reviews that said it ran small. I probably needed a medium, but didn't reorder it because the way the chest gapes open made it difficult to know where to wear it. I had hoped it could work with a high waisted skirt or high waisted pants, but it just didn't sit well on the bust.

Perfect fit for hourglass shape.
This dress fit me much tighter than how I saw others wearing it in the reviews, so I would need to size up if I wanted a more flowy fit. I was really happy with the way it showed my shape without being too tight. I love the fabric, and in person it has almost a shine/sheen to it.

Beautiful color, true to size.
I rented this for a branding photo shoot and loved it. It was a little longer than I would've liked, but not a huge deal. The color is the perfect pop without looking cartoonishly orange.

Unique fabric details& print.
I rented this for a branding photo shoot for my business and loved it! I initially ordered a S and exchanged it for the XS, which was better for the way I wanted it to fit with this skirt. If I were wearing the sweater in everyday wear, I would have kept the small but wanted a fitted silhouette for the photos/to tuck into the skirt.

This top is a beautiful color with beautiful fabric, but runs large. Was ultimately too revealing.
This top is beautiful, but I was not able to wear it for the purposes I intended (professional wear) because as a shorter person, the straps were too long and it revealed not just cleavage, but about half of my boobs! I would definitely try sizing down 1-2 sizes and try again someday.
