Showstopper
Wore to a wedding in Mexico and got a ton of compliments. Was pretty comfortable all night and did fine in the 80 degree heat. There is a small corset thing in the chest which means you don't need a bra even with a larger cup size. The dress also has quite a bit of stretch so it's a pretty easy wear and is very forgiving. Would definitely rent again. I am usually a 14/16 and the 16 was comfortable on me.

Pretty much as pictured
Basic tube top with a built in bra. Cute, red, fun. The bra is not overly useful for my larger breasted girlies but wasn't an issue. I just wore a strapless bra underneath.

Cute dress, size up
Cute dress, I ended up sizing up for some space in the waist so as not to create any back rolls. When I did that, the dress was too long so I just got some hem tape to tape it to a more midi length on me which gave it a little bubble look. Worked just fine!

Great easy dress
Rented this for a trip to India and wore it multiple times there and when I got back. There is a little shoulder pad which was the only unexpected element, otherwise the fit was easy and flattering! Got lots of compliments. It's true to size and comfortable. There is a stretchy slip underneath that also makes it good for the summer. 10/10 would have purchased if it wasn't so expensive.

Easy breezy comfy cute
Wore this to welcome cocktails for a chilly wedding weekend! Super comfy and easy to wear - it's loose and flowy, there is a shell under it but it's not remotely fitted so there are basically no fit issues to concern yourself with. Loved it for the occasion.

Small in the chest
I loved this dress but it it TIGHT on the girls!! If had a little stretch which makes it comfy and easy to wear, the bodice is TTS but the chest is not overly stretchy and was really really tight. I didn't end up wearing it bc my boobs looked too smooshed even with the rosettes covering them, but the dress is beautiful if you're smaller on top!

As expected
This fit exactly as you would thinking looking at the photos. It's cute and comfy but I wouldn't say a show stopper. Neckline was a little low for me which prevented me from wearing it too much, it was also a bit long on my 5'4" frame.

Great dress, different fit
LOVED this dress and got so many compliments, but some things to know. The waist of the dress is fairly true to size if a little large, but the chest is generous and the straps are longgggg. I'm fairly short and needed the top support so I ended up pinning ~2 inches of material up on each shoulder to keep the girls high. I also used quite a bit of fashion tape and boob tape to keep it in place. If you're not comfortable with a boob forward dress, definitely skip this one. Additionally, the back is low! Didn't realize this from the pics though that could just be me. Final thing, the hem in the front is really pretty short. As someone who is short, that was fine with me, but it made me a little nervous in the wind. Just something to be aware of if you're on the taller side or going somewhere particularly windy. Overall, this dress was great and I would definitely rent again.

Don't wait, order now
I wore this dress an insane number of times and thought about buying despite the price point. It's a lightweight cotton dress, great summer fabric, with a very generous cut. The waist is elastic, so I think would fit a ton of shapes and sizes. The ruffle around the bust is also very flattering and forgiving. Length was about mid-thigh on me. Possibly my favorite thing I've ever rented. Wore to some pre-wedding events, a friends bridal shower, a Saturday brunch and like 10 other things. Sad to return.

Great bag, very functional
Cute bag, plenty of room for all my crap (phone, keys, sunglasses, small wallet), and the many other things I threw in here along the way (deodorant, water bottle, masks etc). Used it a lot longer than I thought I would. Color is a bright vibrant orange. Only con is that the drawstrings don't pull it all the way closed, so probably not the best if you're traveling abroad or going anywhere you would be worried about being pick pocketed.

Cute dress!
This dress is cute and pretty forgiving even for rounder frames! I don't love my mid-section, so I didn't end up wearing it, but I think that is more of a personal preference. Someone more confident than I could rock this dress. It's a lightweight cotton, seasonless print, and decent length. The top fit well, and the bottom was fitted bc it's a scrunchie situation. Overall the dress looks like it does on the model, just a matter of whether you like that silhouette or not.

Beautiful Winter Dress, Runs SMALL
Dress was super cute and wish I could have worn it, but need to size up at least one more if not two more sizes. I am generally a 14/16, and would have been closer to a 20/22 in this dress.

Cute TINY Dress
The dress is cute, similar to the photo, but definitely SMALL. I am usually a 14 or 16, but the 16 barely got over my hips with the dress totally unzipped. Never stood a chance.

Fun booby dress
I LOVE this dress! I'm pretty reliably a size 14 apple shape, with a larger chest (38D) and wasn't sure if this was going to be a flattering cut, but it is. The top gives great lift but is still fairly generous around the ribcage (I understand why others have found it big but it worked for me). It's was actually a little on the smaller side for my chest, so gave quite a bit of cleavage, so wore it for a girls night out. It's got nice pleating around the waistline that sits flat and is very flattering. It's a fairly heavy fabric and it has a slip under it, which makes it nice for spring! I have a sense the sleeves are going to have a hard time staying put, but I'm pretty short so not surprising.

Beautiful dress - VERY small.
I should have listened to the other reviews. I am usually a 14, comfortably an XL and the XXL was 4 inches from zipping. Wish I could have worn it bc it’s really cute. One other note - the back is very long. I am 5’4” an d would have needed a tall heel to prevent it dragging.

Stunning dress, runs small
I so wish I could have worn this but it was too snug. I have ordered Hutch dresses before in a size 14, but the 16 in this style did not zip. I think I probably could have gotten it to zip had I wanted to badly enough, but as it’s very stiff and boned I would not have been able to breath well. Really wanted to wear it because it’s beautiful, but I would size up if you are wider around the rib cage!

Flattering and easy to wear
This dress is super flattering and comfortable. I would say it runs a bit large - I am usually a 14 but could have done a 12. The V neck is perfect - low enough to be sexy but not so low that I wouldn't wear it in front of my parents (I was at a family wedding so this was exactly what I was going for). I got tons of compliments on it; the print is really fun and there is a lot of movement with the dress. Overall, really enjoyed, though I wish I had gotten the smaller size as the gathering on the front would have been more flattering had it hugged me.

Beautiful Dress, exactly as pictured
The dress was really pretty and fit comfortably. There is gathering both in the front and the back -- the front gathering is super flattering, the back is a little weird but nothing wild. The V neck is pretty conservative - not too low. Overall, easy, solid dress.

Beautiful dress, pretty low cut
Loved the dress but I was going to a family wedding and it was too low cut for me. If you have a smaller bust or are not hanging out with your parents friends, it would probably work well. However, I have a larger bust and would say that it’s definitely borderline too much; the V stops right below the bust but is a pretty wide V so make sure you have fashion tape.

Really tiny in the torso!
The dress is beautiful but SO SMALL. I am normally a 10/12, but gained a little wait over the holiday (oops) so ordered a 12/14. The 14 was not even close to zipping!! My roommate and I kept checking the tags to make sure they sent the right size! Had I been able to zip it, I would say that the dress was really pretty; the fitted part was shorter than I thought it would be, but not in a bad way - just a higher than average waistline. Ordered another dress in a size 12 that fit perfectly.

Fantastic dress, so sad it had to go back!
Loved this dress!! Fit very true to size, and was a pretty easy fit since the bottom is so large. I'm pretty petite and was worried about the back dragging on the floor, but it was actually fine (granted it was a 4in heel). I got a ton of compliments and the dress photographed very well. Would totally rent again.

Beautiful dress, but tiny bodice
The dress was beautiful and I would have loved to wear it, but it was not very close to fitting. I am a pretty true 12, and I think I could have squeezed into a 14 or 16 for this particular style. There is also NO stretch in the fabric. Would definitely rent again if they made bigger sizes!

Slit was too high to be comfortable
I thought the dress fit as expected, except the slit was super high. I am fairly short (5'4") and tried on the size 10. Walking around the apartment in the dress, my roommate said she could basically see up it at certain angles. Depending on the setting, I think it could work (the dress was beautiful when I was standing still) but just be aware that you will need to be mindful of your movements!

Amazing dress
Loved this dress-- fit a little snugger than expected, but still fairly true to size. I'm about 5'4" and thought the length was good (it's supposed to be short). Dress has a fairly typical a-line cut, but the pockets are a nice touch. Also, I'm about a 34D-36D and thought the top fit perfectly. Would definitely rent again!
