Great fabric! And a lot of it
I love Banjanan dresses but good luck guessing the fit. Definitely size down

Saylor Dress
Banjanan
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 160lbs
Bust: 36D
Really pretty fabric but a bit too small
Wanted to love this but tight fitting chest held me back.

Perle Vintage Floral Dress
Caballero
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 5"

Cute
It was definitely short but fit well and gave me a figure. Very light weight material. Had I not been going to a casual event, I would have thought it was cheap

The photo looked like I could wear to black tie event but no dice. It didn’t really have a fit or feel like I had a figure

Pretty material. Odd fit
The top is VERY low cut. You need a cami or be cool to show your bra. The top is HUGE but the skirt wait is way too tight. I was also too short to carry this dress off. Would have def worked for black tie had it fit

Fancy dress for a funeral
This was not black tie enough and I would have looked like the angel of death at a wedding. The top squished my boobs and the bottom was frumpy

Meh
I actually saw another woman wearing this on the street and it looked better on her. The shoulders were too big on me and the waist would have been too small if I sized down

Renter Beware!!
All of the weird reviews are RIGHT. This dress is an evil joke for shorter torso women. It falls in the weirdest places with zero shape. The small head is weird but that’s its most minimal violation. This should be a no-go for women with curves. What a waste!!!!

It's fine for winter
Shoulders are big Ulla style and had wool in the fabric. It's nothing to write home about but fits nicely at the waist

Celia Paisley Collared Dress
Ulla Johnson

The material is not forgiving on the torso. If you have any meat, you'll want some shape wear. As a short waisted woman it also fit weird

Cute …. But …
I wanted to like this. It’s a good cut, but it was a little too firm fitting on the tummy and too big in the shoulders.

It’s pretty but different from the photograph. Large and long. Too dressy for work and not dressy enough for a formal event

Sadly awkward
The material is pretty, but the up top doesn’t nicely define the boobs and the cut outs hit and the lumpy parts of my waste.

It could be nice? But no. Not fancy enough for black tie, not cute enough to go for a date. It made me feel dumpy and lumpy.

This dress is the physical representation of perimenopause
This dress is the definition of “meh”. Like if I was completely out of laundry and needed to leave the house not wearing leggings - sure. I wanted to like the colour.. I wanted to like the cut but couldn’t. The material is not cheap poly.. so maybe that’s a compliment? Or saved me from absolutely hating it.

Fine?
The picture is cuter than the dress on the body. There’s little shape and it’s boring. Fine for running errands when I didn’t care but not worth your swap

This dress fit amazing, I didn’t even need shape wear. Hugs and hides all the right places. It was a bit daytime for my evening occasion but if you don’t mind white at night - go for it!

This looks great in photos and did zero for my body type. Maybe you need a long torso and no waist? Who knows? RTR should have a “How did it fit” WEIRD button. Material is gorgeous. Just wish the fit was better and sad I wasted a spot
