Pretty dress
When I first tried it on, I was kind of disappointed with how low cut/busty it was. Usually I wouldn't dream of wearing a dress without a bra but once I tried it, it seemed to be the better option. It did feel pretty secure but I wasn't necessarily jumping all around on the dance floor. The pockets were a really nice touch. Straps were adjustable.

Pretty dress
Overall I liked the dress. I took a risk and only got one size (12) and I actually think the 10 would have been better. I had to pull the straps up a bit so that it wasn't hanging down. Otherwise I was happy with it and liked the length. Got a few compliments on what I would consider a pretty simple dress

A little short
Overall I was happy with the dress, but I would have liked if it was maybe a little longer. I assumed I'd have to go with the large, but the medium fit better - the large ended up looking a little baggy.

Great dress
The dress was very comfortable and beautiful. I didn't expect the 10 to fit (usually more of a 12) but it's what I went with. I took it on a plane and didn't have to worry about wrinkling. Could wear a bra with it no problem, didn't wear underwear but didn't feel like I needed shapewear. Would definitely get again.

Pretty dress but bust wasn't great
I could have gone with either, 10 was a little tighter so I went with the 12. As with all other Reformation dresses I've tried, the cups in the bust are odd and I'm not sure what size they're supposed to fit, certainly not bigger sizes. I don't like to go without a bra. A normal bra did fit, but was very cleavage heavy and didn't fit within the cups (for my size). I went with an underwire bralette which was the best of my options but not great support and still a bit revealing for my preferences. I would probably get it again but knowing that I'm going to be adjusting the top literally all night and even holding onto it while dancing. Also the straps were oddly far out towards the armpits so I chose to wrap them around the bra straps so they weren't showing. Body of the dress was good and comfortable.

Best choice of a few mediocre options
I kept going back and forth between the 10 and 12 mainly because of the bust. I couldn't wear a normal bra because it really wouldn't fit in the cups, so I had to go with a bralette and was self consciously adjusting it the whole night. There probably exists a solution that I just don't own like cups or something. The slit was fine, a little high but not uncomfortable and wasn't revealing while walking. I thought about renting the black version for an upcoming event but decided to try something new.

Meh, didn't end up wearing
I was able to get this in M&L as a replacement for another dress which was not available. I had high hopes but was disappointed with the fabric, which was thick and rough and kind of rolled. The L fit better than the M but it was a little long for how tight it was and I decided it just didn't look right.

Too sexy for my occasion
I ended up going with a backup dress I ordered in case, because this dress ended up being just too sexy for the wedding I was set to attend. The only size available was a M and I did not feel comfortable wearing no bra with it; I even tried to see how I could pin a bra inside with no luck. The slit was quite high and perhaps on a different occasion I might have worn it.

Nice dress
Overall I was happy with this dress and got a few compliments too. I went back and forth between the M and L and could've gone with either, but decided on the L as it allowed more room for sitting. It was a nice thick fabric and felt pretty secure. Slit in the front didn't go up too high. I felt the lighter blue section revealed my tummy a little more but overall not a big deal. I would probably get this again.

A fine, pretty dress
The dress was pretty overall. It didn't have any stretch, there was extra fabric in the middle for camouflage, shoulder pads, a little short in a 12 at 5'7" although it didn't feel like it would ride up when walking. It did ride up when sitting. I felt pretty in it and don't regret getting it, but don't think I need to rent again.

Lightweight and comfortable
It was a very lightweight fabric and comfortable for a mid-summer wedding. I found that the 10 was a little roomy, I didn't even try the 12. The cut was slimming around the midsection but did seem to make my hips look a little wider than usual. Overall the dress grew on me and I got a number of compliments.

Perfect dress for a summer wedding
This dress was so comfortable. It was very adjustable around the waist. I didn’t find it was too long at all, with sandals or with a one inch heel. I was so pleased with this dress and would definitely rent again. The color is a little dark to show up accurately in photos.
