Not a cute look
I usually wear an XL in Madewell clothing, but according to this dress a size 16 (my usual dress size) is an XXL. This dress was massive on me. Definitely size down! On top of that, the waist was very high, so it was big and short - very unflattering!

Smocked Waist Mini Dress
Madewell
Size Worn: XXL
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 8"
Bust: 38D
My least favorite CityChic item to date
This dress looked cute and was great for a summer day, but it had issues. Firstly, the bust runs a little small. Usually if I order a Small (size 16) the bust fits perfectly or is a little big. On this dress things were a little tight. Secondly, the buttons are not well enforced. In a rather straight sundress the buttons need to be sewn on well, and these ones felt like they'd fall off. Cute print, the dress fit well other than the bust, and it's perfect for summer, but the quality isn't there.

Beautiful pattern, large fit
I got so many compliments on the pattern and color of this dress. It was also made of a comfy, stretchy material. That being said, this dress is an odd fit. It's very large in the chest and there is a lot of fabric. I belted it, which helped!

Beautiful dress, strange fit
This dress is gorgeous. The color is a true jade green and there are little buttons running down the front. Very vintage and beautiful! The fit is strange, however. The dress may be a big small in the waist (I sized up and the waist fit perfectly), but the chest is very open. I wish there was a button of clasp to close it! I had to wear a cami under it. Obviously the designer made this for quite busty women.

Way too small!
This dress is a wrap dress, which I didn't understand before I got it. I sized up and got an XXL. I'm usually a 14/16 and it was so small it wouldn't even close. Nope! I had another Hutch dress at home in a 16 that fit big, so be aware that this dress runs very small.

Beautiful, tropical dress!
I loved the fit of this flowy dress. It has a waist that lays perfectly flat and the chest fits well, but the arms and lower half of the dress are breezy and flutter when you move. It really is a great dress for summer garden parties or events.

Beautiful fit and color
Very true to size and the royal blue color is beautiful. The picture is exactly like the item. Definitely a great work dress.

Love the color, the fit is large!
I loved the color of this skirt and the flip at the bottom makes it swoosh as you walk, which is really fun. The cut-outs do go a little high up on me, which is a tad awkward. If you are taller, I'd suggest wearing this skirt with tights so you don't come close to flashing anyone. The fit also runs large, so you might want to size down!

Way too small!!
I usually wear a size 14 or maybe 16 if the chest is very small, but I ordered this dress in an XXL and it didn't fit at all. The material is also thin and unlined. I was not thrilled with this dress in any way, except the button detail and color, which were cute.

Beautiful color but very low cut!
I got this dress as a standard work dress and was a little confused by it. The color is gorgeous and bright and the cut is pretty standard A-line, but the materials is very heavy and stretchy, almost like a wet suit. On top of that, the dress is very low-cut and isn't really appropriate for work. The heavy fabric drags the chest area down, which makes it even more low-cut. Definitely more appropriate for a date night.

Beautiful but huge!
This dress looks like it might be a little frumpy at first, but it's gorgeous and hugs curves well. That being said, it's gigantic. Size down one or two sizes. The bust area is elastic and will stretch, but the rest is very loose.

Beautiful shirt - not a lot of room in the chest
This shirt was beautiful! It's stretchy and runs a little big everywhere except in the chest area. The good news is that I looked great in it, the bad news is that you might have quite a bit of cleavage. It's a beautiful, flattering shirt that you can dress up or down. Go for it!

Small in the chest, fits well everywhere else!
Like most Kate Spade dresses, I thought this was too small in the top. I sized up, which worked better, but it still wasn't the best. Very cute pattern and dress though!

Love the fit - Size up!
I loved the cut of this dress the minute I tried it on. Mine didn't come with the box in the front, so I guess a previous customer had removed it, which was odd. I ordered a 1X. Normally I wear a size 14. The 1X had a little extra room, but otherwise fit great so I would definitely order up!
