Runs small and large somehow
First the positives Beautiful colors Fun sleeves Good shape I got a lot of compliments on it, because it was different from everyone else Negatives The size that fit me everywhere else literally showed 80% of my bra in the bust line. The next size up wasn't available so I wore two sizes too big which was of course very gappy - four pieces of fashion tape helped there. It was longer than anticipated. I'm 5'9" and it hit mid calf. Maybe a side effect of the too big dress but I don't think so.

beautiful dress with lots of compliments
this dress is beautiful. skirt is heavy, and it was perfect for a cold weather wedding. pockets meant no purse! i got lots of compliments. this is appropriate for cocktail to formal in my opinion. I am wearing 2.25" heels in the photos. the dress would have hit the floor without them, I think. only con is the zipper transition is near impossible alone. when getting dressed, i made sure to not let the zipper go into the brocade area.

Super cute dress, especially for maternity
Fit well and cuter than most maternity dresses. Worn at 21 weeks pregnant. Appreciated that the fabric wasn't just another jersey. Caution, the sleeves are see through - who makes a dress that a pregnant woman needs a strapless bra with?!

NOT cute
this is just not cute. The fabric is a jersey knit so not appropriate for anything fancy. The keyhole is really weird - there are like 4 hook and eyes that keep it closed, which made it look super strange along my cleavage. It's also incredibly low. Like, halfway down my torso. I returned this and wore something else.

Beautiful flowy dress
I loved wearing this dress. The color was super flattering, and the fit was great. I loved the shoulders being poofy. I wore this at 16 weeks pregnant, and I had no issues with fitting into my normal size (I probably could have gone down a size). There were a couple fit issues to note: 1. I am 5'9" and still had to use some fashion tape to not step on the train (wearing flats). This was only a problem with the 16, not 18, for some reason. I wore the 16. 2. The waistline and shoulder seams are kind of itchy 3. If you button the keyhole, it looks very Handmaid's Tale. I left it open, and it was still very modest (no cleavage), but it gave me less of a church vibe. Maybe this is only a problem for larger busted women? Overall I would 100% rent this dress again and probably will for weddings next winter!

Flowy, easy dress for a casual wedding
First off, if you can afford to go bigger in this dress, DO IT. If you can get up into the sizes that have the wider straps (1X and bigger), DEFINITELY DO IT. The XL fit just fine on me, but I was spilling out of the top, like described by others. The 1X was pretty large in the arm holes and wrapped around my body almost twice. HOWEVER, I had zero issues with the bust. I did put on a little fashion tape just to keep it from gaping, but I don't think I actually needed it. Otherwise, this dress was super comfortable. It was about mid-calf on me, at 5'9". It was easy to dance in, and I felt like I was covered as much as I wanted to be all night. Would rent again!

Beautiful fabric but tight fit
This dress is much more beautiful and formal looking in person than the pictures tell you. The color has green undertones. The fit on this dress was quite tight though the bust and upper ribcage for me. The 14 fit, but I went with the 16 to try to get a better bust fit. It was also shorter than expected. I am 5'9", and it was about 3-4" above the knee.

Comfortable dress, sad I didn't get to wear it
My event was cancelled, so this dress didn't get to go out. I think it would have worked well though. Extremely comfortable. Hit right at the knee. Sleeves were not too tight. Zipper went up and down easily. Pattern adorable!

This dress was beautiful and appropriate for a semi formal to formal wedding.
This dress is killer! Runs large, but I appreciated the extra room making my belly, as I was 7 weeks post partum. I did not need any foundation garments, just a normal bra. The waist was probably 1-2" too big, but the belt still lay flat. I could also pull this on without unzipping. The invisible zipper is a bit hard to handle at the fabric transition, so this was nice. I also had to pull it to the side to pump milk several times, and the stretch in the top helped with this as well. I am 5'9" and wore flats. The back of the dress almost hit the floor. Would recommend heels for anyone shorter. I recieved many compliments on this dress and would wear again for another formal fall wedding.

Cute dress for baby shower
Fit: small in torso with plenty of space in the skirt. Wore while 30 weeks pregnant and had no issues in the belly. The bust area was quite tight. Length: I felt it should have been about 2" shorter. I am 5'9", so I would not recommend this for shorter ladies. Style: loved the sleeves and the stripes. The tier hit a little bit higher than I would have expected

This dress was nice to wear for a party.
I rented this dress to wear to a holiday party. I didn't have a problem with the arms like others, but it was definitely too small for me in the shoulders. I wore the 14 instead of the 12, so that I could move my arms around! It's also way more teal than green and VERY bright.
