Beautifully made!!
This dress is beautiful and so well made! From the hook at the waistband so the buttons don't gap to the pockets to the beautifully sewn French seams, this dress is utter perfection. I am a 0/2/4 depending on the designer and could have worn either a 2 or 4 in this depending on how tight I wanted. Considering buying this one.

It's so cute! But so big!
These shorts are adorable! The ruffle makes the short shorts appropriately modest. But they run super big for this designer. I generally am a 2/4 but lean 4 for this designer. I could have worn a 0 in these and my hips measure 39". Too bad, they are so so so cute!

Not at all comfortable
This is a beautiful piece. IF it fits you properly. I sized up to a medium and the top is like a corset. Wore to a party and found it to be super uncomfortable once I'd eaten. It's also a lot of cleavage. Not my favorite rental.

Beautiful, comfortable and bright
This dress was perfect for the first warm day of spring. The material is light and has nice movement. The colors are vibrant and the dress has pockets! It does run a bit big so you should size down. I'm usually a 2/4 but have put in a few vacation lbs so a solid 4 at the moment. The 2 fit perfectly in the waist. At 5'3" this was a bit longer on me than the model but the length wasn't overwhelming and I was able to wear the dress with flat Oxford espadrilles.

Small but long
The dress is lovely with a very detailed print. However it is not made for me at all. I wear anything from 0-4 depending on the designer. I went with a 4 but it's quite tight at the waist. Looking at it I didn't think I would be able to zipper it. I was able to but it was nearly a maxi on me, at 5'3" it grazed my ankles. Definitely size up 1-2 sizes. Would be great for someone long and lean!

Gorgeous color and lines
I rented this dress for a work function. I generally run between a 2 & 4 and was able to wear the 2 in his one though the 4 would have looked better. Be armed with shapewear and don't be shy as the dress gets a lot of attention. Threw a blazer over the top to tone down the sexiness but wore open for a peek of waistline.

This dress is magic!
This dress is so good that I almost don't want to review it so I can keep it all to myself! It is truly magical. It somehow nips in the waist and flattens the stomach - no spanx needed! The material is a bit thicker but not heavy at all. There is some stretch and I found it comfortable to wear for a twelve hour day working a seminar. I found it to run a bit large and it did stretch out a bit by the end of the day but was still flattering. If you are between sizes definitely size down. I'm usually a 2 or 4 and appreciated the 2 but would have killed in a 0. Sad to see this one go!

Gorgeous color but maybe size up
This dress is such a lovely rich green color with nice lines. I am generally between a 2 & 4 and have previously needed a 4 in this designer. Unfortunately I forgot that until I tried this one. Luckily I was able to zip but it was TIGHT in the waist. I'm not sure if I will end up wearing it for the event. But if you get he proper size it could be a great choice.

This dress is fantastic! Unfortunately, both sizes I ordered arrived without the rosette, but I wore it anyway. I ordered a size 4 and 6 as other reviewers stated the dress ran small. I wore the 4 which fit wonderfully. I did not find that it ran small at all. It is not roomy in the hips, but fit my 37" hips just fine. It does mention that it is best for smaller busts, which I do not have but thankfully my small back made up for it and I thought the back could have been a bit tighter.

Beautiful colors...fit not so
I rented this dress to wear to a party in LA. Thank goodness for backups! The dress was huge and I did not life the look of the dress belted. There is a LOT of fabric to this dress. For comparison, the dress I wore was a size 2 dress from the same designer. If you have a little meat on your bones and size down, I am sure it would be a wonderful dress.

The dress was perfect for both job interviews and a visit to the Magic Castle! The kind of dress you need to OWN <3
This dress is fantastic! I ordered a 2 and a 4 as my back up, worried the 2 would be tight based on other reviews. The 4 was large but the 2 was divine! The dress is beautifully constructed and fits like it was custom made. It's a little long but I purchased hem tape to bring it just below knee length. I wore the dress for job interviews, with a conservative heel and it was perfect. Wore it again later with sky high platform pumps for a totally different look. I would purchase this dress.
