Size 2 was floor length for me
Wrinkled easily so wasn’t perfect for vacation, but I liked it enough to put in the effort of ironing it. Sitting brought back some wrinkles. That’s what you get with linen though and it was very comfy. Size 2 was great for my 25” waist. Could definitely fit a c cup, maybe d but it’d be tight.

So cute
Wore for my rehearsal dinner look. I could see it being dressed up or down. It stayed in place all night, it didn’t twist downward (the photo is after wearing it 3 hours).

For a tall torso
At 5’4” and a 32b chest, the straps were far too large on me. I would have needed to take at least an inch off the top to make it work for me. Not petite friendly, definitely for long torsos. Dress was beautifully made and such a fun asymmetrical look, wish it could have worked for one of my wedding related events.

Wider in the waist than the hips
If your waist is smaller than your butt, these will not fit. They are extremely “straight” cut. Even the crotch is somehow in a weird position, maybe off center. The waist of the xs measures at about 36 inches, and the hips about the same. There is a draw string, so you can make it work if you’re determined, but that bunches it up a ton and makes it look like pajama pants. Other than that, the fabric is very comfortable, it has good size pockets, and at 38” long, it would have be a good length for me. But I didn’t wear them out.

Perfect length for ski boots
Rented for burning man, bought them for ski season cause they were so discounted. The length is definitely meant for skiing. It stops mid-calf so that you wear tall ski socks, and that way you don’t have an uncomfortable seam at your ankle in your tight ski boots. If you won’t use them for this and don’t like the cropped look, these aren’t for you. If you’re a skier, get these! Even has a cell phone pocket on 1 side. Decently stretchy. It fit my xs waist and size 6 booty.

Light, breathable, worked my bootie
Definitely see-through but that’s what I kind of liked about them, how light they were. Just wear nude undies if you care. As a pear shape, this realllyyy worked for my bootie. It’s hard to rent pants on here that fit my waist and bootie/thighs. They were a little long on me but I put hair ties around my ankles to “cuff” them a bit which worked well with my boots. I’m usually a xs/small on top and medium/6 on bottom and the xs pants fit great.

Stretchy, comfy, mesh, breathable
Seemed like it helped keep the sun off my skins while still being breathable from the mesh. Such a fun and funky design. Paired with some pint parachute pants. Sleeves were long on me which wasn’t a problem, it was cute to scrunch them. So it would work for someone taller too.

Arrived way too deformed. Didn’t use.
I tried to stuff it and let it sit for a couple days to get its shape back but it didn’t work. I didn’t try steaming, but I didn’t LOVE its shape anyway so I didn’t put in the effort. It felt so wide at the top that I imagined stuff would fall out of it as soon as I put it down. Not good for the beach. Didn’t pack it for vacation.

Light fabric, good for summer
Wore to an evening midweek concert. Very fun, adore the little alligator looking animals on it and floral print. Wish I could have had an excuse to wear it more than once!

Small but fit the essentials
Perfect little back for phone, lipstick, compact mirror and slim wallet. Clasp is secure. Shoulder chain is a great length and was light. Sparkles were fun without stealing the show. Wore to a formal wedding.

High quality; size forgiving design
One of my favorite dresses I’ve worn to a wedding! High quality fabric and construction with good weight to it but still airy and flowy. The straps and all the fabric was comfortable to wear from 11am to midnight. With the open waist area and the tie back, it’s forgiving after a heavy meal. At 5’4” with 2 inch heels it glided just at the ground perfectly. I received endless compliments and several people told me I need to buy it.

Good for a cool weather party
Styled it with some tights so I could dance while not worrying about exposing myself. I wish I’d had a pair that was sheer higher up on my leg so that it would pair more seamlessly but I loved it anyway. Incredibly flattering, got so many compliments. Stretchy and forgiving. Wore to an indoor/outdoor party when the weather was in the 50s but I could imagine it would get too warm and sweaty if it was hot out.

Obsessed with the floral detail
It sit slightly higher on my bust than I would have wanted them to, instead of just below at the bottom. Might be a problem for someone taller or with bigger or lower chest. Loved the slight structure the cotton gave to the dress though! Lovely shape in the sleeves and skirt. Very comfy all day.

No surprises (good or bad) just a solid dress!
There wasn’t anything particularly stunning about this dress and it didn’t come with any surprises. What you see is what you get! It fit me well, the fabric was high quality and soft, the sleeves were cute and moved with me throughout the night. I paired it with some gold jewelry, black stockings and black shoes to make it a bit more formal. The photos I took don’t show the color well, but the other photos posted by RTR and others do look accurate.

Runs very large, but is also for short torsos
I’m usually a size 2, but I have a small chest (32b) so I ordered the XS based on another review. The cup size fit well, but the waist was about 4 inches of fabric too big for me. The picture I showed is me trying to make it work with some safety pins while getting ready but I just knew it wasn’t going to work since it’s a strapless and I wanted to dance. Also, the dress has a snap closure for underwear, and even though I’m only 5’4” and wore it briefly, the fabric was uncomfortable and dug into my skin. It also worked with gravity to pull down the already loose dress. Length wise, with 1.5” heels, it just barely kissed the ground, so it was a great length to me. I think a size 0 in dress would work well with ladies who are hovering around 5’1” (give or take 2 inches) with B or C cup and who usually wear a size 4. The velvet was very soft, the slit was gorgeous, and I love the design of this dress! It just wasn’t my size.

Found a new way to style the cape
Every other review hits the nail on the head regarding the color, stunning arm piece, and getting a compliment from everyone at their event. 1 thing I was surprised about though was that there’s a slit along the back of the slip that separates and shows too much since the top layer is somewhat see-through. Maybe this is only an issue if you have a pear body and size down to fit your waist and your butt is much larger. I found a solution though, I safety pinned part of the cape arm to the size where the zipper is, and there was still PLENTY of cape arm left for showing off. I hope this helps other pear shaped bodies style it! For sizing, make sure you go based off of the US sizing conversion if that’s what you’re used to. I chose the UK 6 / US 2 and I usually wear a size 2 dress, because that’s what fits my small waist and chest - I just make sure to only choose dresses that have a flared or stretchy bottom. So I feel like this was true to size.
