Comically large
I got this dress in XS and I was SWIMMING in it. This dress is definitely not good for petites, and I would suggest going down two sizes on this one. I was super sad cause I think it would have been a really cute, fun dress if it had fit properly.

Soft, but boring
The dress is clearly high quality, but it was completely shapeless and boring. Decided not to wear it.

I really like the idea of this skirt...
I tried this on in the rent the runway store in 6R and it was a little snug. I decided to order it in a size up, and I thought I would be set! Unfortunately, the sizing doesn't really matter. Yes, the skirt is small, but the real problem is the proportions. This skirt will only look good on you if you have a very straight figure. Even a size up, the skirt pulled tightly in the hips in an unflattering way. I couldn't size up anymore because then the skirt would be comically large at the waist. Basically, don't go for this if you have hips.

Way thicker than expected
From the look of it, I thought this would be a kind of summer/spring sweater. It definitely isn't. It's basically a super thick, non-breathable blanket. I didn't wear it.

Beautiful
I wore this out for a nice dinner with my boyfriend. The material is so soft and flowy and comfortable. Easy to wear a bra with and super flattering.

Cute!
I liked this dress a lot. The straps are definitely long and the dress was big overall. I ended up safety pinning the straps to shorten the dress and I liked the end look. I realized throughout the day that just shortening the straps wasn't enough to make it fit me properly. Wasn't quite comfortable in it. BUT I would definitely order it again a size down. It's a great everyday summer dress. My favorite parts were the slit and the buttons.

Great Dress
This was a really nice, easy-to-wear dress. I paired it with a jean jacket and felt super comfortable all day. Easy to dress up or down for any occasion.

So cute!
I LOVED the way this dress looked. It was so fun and different. I felt like a princess. Unfortunately, I couldn't find an occasion to wear it out. It's casual, but not? For an daytime party, it would be perfect!

Fun Summer Dress
I really liked this dress! It's fun and casual, great for summer. My only complaint is that the neckline would ride down, and I was constantly making sure it was in place. Someone with a smaller chest probably wouldn't have this problem. Overall, fun daytime dress!
