Prepare to be noticed
As a former size 4 whose body has changed thanks to the pandemic, the small was definitely a tight fit (medium wasn't available), but it did fit! Being small-chested works to your advantage with this dress as there's not stretch whatsoever. Tall ladies, you're in luck: finding a floor-skimming dress as a 5'10" woman is tough, but I was able to wear my preferred flats with this dress and you couldn't even tell. The slit makes things fun whenever you walk and the length and flowiness draw eyes to you. Would absolutely wear again, though preferably in a medium for a bit more breathing room.

Loved the design/color, not the fit
This dress is everything I love, in theory. The length, color, and neckline are modest, while the cutouts and fitted quality let it stay sexy. The fabric of the dress is thick enough to hide flaws and make choosing undergarments easy, and I wouldn't have had to wear a bra. However, I have to agree with other reviewers that the tightness makes it a hard sell. I'm small chested, but not even my sports bras squash my boobs so flat. I felt the dress was most constricting around the upper chest area, which was not only unflattering and uncomfortable for my boobs but also made it difficult to breathe. This was my backup dress, so I opted to go with the more comfortable option. I rented a 6 (usually a 4), but if I tried this dress again I'd get an 8.

Perfect match for my dress
Worn with the Black Venice Dress (Nicole Miller). The blue of the earrings was a lovely match for the dress underneath the lace of the dress. I don't like big earrings, but these were just large enough to be noticeable without veering into costume jewelry territory. Light and comfortable. Would rent again.

Perfect for the occasion
I got a size 6 as a backup but never even tried it on. The 4 fit perfectly. The dress is indeed long, and I agree with other reviewers that it's great for tall ladies. I don't think I've ever received so many compliments from strangers. The lace is thick enough that your undergarment choice makes no difference, but I was still comfortable on a hot day. I wore a strapless bra. The skirt is bit constricting because of the length, but I could still walk, dance, and sit without much problem. I loved wearing this dress and would highly recommend it.

Loved everything about it
I rated the fit as "runs small" because I wore a 6 instead of my usual 4, but the 4 fit pretty well too. Because it was a wedding, I preferred the slightly less tight look of the 6. The 6 fit wonderfully and couldn't have looked more flattering. My boyfriend couldn't keep his hands to himself. I had no problem wearing a regular bra. The bottom of the bra band was very close to being visible, but I checked the placement multiple times throughout the day and never found it showing, even while dancing. The material is light, which was perfect for a summer wedding, but it also meant I had to select underwear carefully. This is probably my favorite dress I've ever worn to a wedding. Absolutely recommended.

Didn't wear it, but liked it
The dress fit as expected and looked really cute and flattering. I only didn't wear it because I had another dress that I felt fit the wedding venue better. As an A cup, I don't think the bust would have looked filled out without a bra. The lace was pretty, and the color was a nice peach shade (I have pale skin so I try to avoid anything too orange). As other reviewers have said, this dress does add weight to your hips, so if that's not something you want to highlight then this may not be the dress for you. I'm tall and narrow, so I felt it looked fine. It was a perfectly appropriate length for me, even though I'm 5'10, so tall girls don't need to worry about where it will hit.

Felt classy and comfortable
The 4 fit perfectly and was flattering. The waist is low enough (even for someone with a long torso like me) that it hit the right spot and high enough that I wasn't worried about how much I ate. I wore a regular bra and never had to worry about it. The skirt moves beautifully and shimmers in the light; the only downside for the 4 was that the pleats were completely flattened out and you could barely tell they were there. The pleats are what make this dress interesting, so that was a disappointment. As the top has no stretch and fit me (34A) with almost no room to spare, anyone with a larger bust might not be as comfortable. Overall, I would recommend the dress.
