Big no
Looks nothing like pictured not sure what the giant shoulder bumps are. And the neck is not turtle neck ing as shown. Very uncomfortable and awkward.

No give
Be sure you pick the right size in this one it has absolutely no give. If you pick the right size though it’s extremely flattering. I received so many compliments on it. Lots of people saying that I gave off Elle Woods vibes, I myself felt a little bit like Dolores Umbridge.

Wore this to the magic castle. The ruching does help to distract from the problem areas. It is very flattering, comfortable and a gorgeous color. It does have give and isn’t at all restricting.

Snug fit
Rompers are always hit and miss. This one had an extremely snug fit. If you’re in between sizes I’d suggest sizing up so that you can get it over your arms. There is no give in this romper at all. Also, I felt like the belt was too low on the torso, but I did get compliments on this even though it felt weird wearing it with such a low belt

Extra low cut
If you are shy about cleavage you may want to layer this with another tank top. Luckily my vacation was in Las Vegas where a low neckline is perfectly acceptable. This shirt is very comfortable and extremely flattering.

This piece is so cute and flattering! It fits like a glove. It’s true to size. Since it has no give if you’re between sizes, size up. I love the pockets, so convenient for your phone.

Formal night beauty
I’m typically a size 10 but rented the 12 because I saw this runs small. I had to send the 12 back and go up to 14 this dress has zero give and is smaller in the chest area . The 14 fit like a glove. I loved the way it looked and received so many compliments. It’s definitely a head turner.

Short
I’m a short girl so for me to say something Short means it’s pretty short. Not only that but the zipper was weird and it made the dress lay funny. It’s a side zipper and I think that’s part of why the dress was short it kind of made it ride up. I ended up not wearing this because it wasn’t comfortable and I was worried about the length.

Perfect summer dress
This dress has no give, so make sure you get the correct size. For me it ran pretty true to size and felt like a glove. It’s very light and was perfect for the hot weather in Las Vegas. I’m pretty short and this dress was short so that maybe be something to consider.

Versatile
So initially, I put this dress on, and I positioned it exactly as the model has it on and I was a bit concerned that things would slip, and I felt very hyper aware of every move, and the neck was so uncomfortable. Then I saw others were wearing the opening above their chest instead of below their chest and decided to give that a try and I loved the look. The neckline became so much more comfortable, and I actually ended up keeping the dress because I loved the look with the opening above the chest so much better.

Go with your letter size
This dress arrived new with tags. I usually wear a L but went with the XL because it said that’s a size 10 and that’s what I wear sometimes even a 12 but I should have gone with the L. The straps were sliding cien my shoulder and it was big overall. It is a beautiful dress and fun to style different ways. It’s also comfortable but do note it wrinkles very easily.

Cute
This dress is so cute. Works very well for short girls. My only issue was the top button was begging for help as shown in the first picture. There was a huge gap. So I had to wear it with the button open. If you're OK with cleavage, this is a super feminine ultra sexy dress.

I love this dress. I went with the 14 because sometimes Madewell runs small. I could’ve gone with 12. I feel like this one is definitely true to size. There was a lot of room. It’s very comfortable and extremely flattering.

Gorgeous
Sometimes you get a piece you just fall in love with. This was one of those times. I wear a 10/12 but went with a 14 because of the material type it was likely to have no give and since there were not many reviews I was worried about it running small. I definitely could have gone with 12. There was room in the 14. I received it new with tags. Because I sized up it was very comfortable. My only thing is I was wearing this to a family event and it was a bit low cut. If you’re uncomfortable with cleavage skip the push up bra. Otherwise it’s so flattering and the best thing is a dress this beautiful comes with pockets!!!!

This dress has cut outs
This dress just wasn’t for me. It is excessively oversized. I wear a size 10/12 but ordered an eight and it was still pretty oversized. I could’ve made it into a 6 and I am definitely not a size 6. It’s a very unique dress, but for me the sleeves just didn’t do it every time I tried opening a door with a knob the sleeves would get caught on it. I was surprised when I put it on that there were cut outs. I could not tell by any of the pictures that this dress has cut outs. With your arms down, you really can’t see them, but if you put your arms above your head, they definitely show. Picture attached for reference. If you want something comfortable, this is for you if you want something flattering, maybe not. For me this was like wearing a big pillow case.

Served its purpose
I’m did love the design of this dress. It wasn’t as flattering as some other LRL pieces I’ve worn. It was difficult to keep the spaces closed between buttons in the bust area. The dress has no give so either so was snug in the chest area.

This dress came new with tags. The dress was very lightweight. To me the cut was a bit awkward and rather than distracting from the stomach area I felt the ruching accentuated it unnecessarily.

This came brand new with tags. It’s very cute. However this is not the piece you wanna be wearing when you have to quickly get out of something to use the ladies room. The material is very taut with zero give so it makes getting the romper off a little slow even though once you have it on there is plenty of room.

Rented this for Mother’s Day. Received so many compliments. It really snatches the waist. I wear a 12/14, this was a bit big, I could have sized down. The belt was on the last hole and it bunched up dress causing the under layer to show in the back.

This dress is very oversized. It’s flattering I. The chest area but just oversized on the rest of the body. Also the back is do lie it was a challenge to wear a bra. I feel that wound have been resolved if I had sized down. It is a nice material with gorgeous colors and I appreciate the pockets.

I really like this dress it was so comfortable. It was a cold day outside, so I paired it with a pea coat and boots. It was very roomy and oversized. If you want something more form fitting, I’d suggest sizing down.
