Chic & Fun
Such a fun skirt! I rocked this for both a work day, and a night out, just switching up the styling and accessories. The fabric is fun, the pleats are great, and the colors are interesting without being too wonky. The waist band is elastic, but barely so, and getting it up over my hips required some wiggling - but then once up it was perfect! Great for small waists and bigger hips - if your waist is more straight, then I'd consider sizing up so as not to cut off circulation!

Simple & Chic
After reading reviews, I opted to size to a Small vs my usual safe Medium. I am very happy with that decision - the fabric is super stretchy and I think any additional fabric would have been a bit much. I rented this with the intention of wearing to work - but ended up using it for a dinner date. I've got hips, and in this dress, it was all curves. Which is fabulous, just a bit much for my office!

Classic and chic
Loved this blush wrap dress! I ordered the medium and the small- both fit fairly similar, yet i went with the medium as this fabric shows everything! Get some strong spanx and youll be good to go

So Chic!
Great Dress ! Wore the back up size up, as I've got hips and this does not stretch. Do not let that deter you ! This dress is beautiful, fun, and super chic!

Easy, bright, chic!
Loved this dress! I ordered a 6, and an 8 for backup. I have broader shoulders but a narrower waist, so the 6 was the better fit for me, given my small cup size (34B). The 8 was lovely too, but the straps were long so leaning forward would have been a no go. Perfect if you have hips or a wider lower half - it's loose fitting and great for dancing!

Effortless!
I loved this! Super chic, and easy! I could wear the 6, but would have required spanx. The 8 was much easier to slip on and stay in. Fitted around the hips, but does have a little bit of stretch making it really wearable! Excellent "not trying too hard" option!

Just a solid dress !
Pretty, comfortable, easy and excellent fit. I have wider hips and the stretch was just enough and flattering !

Compliments, and pockets, for days
This dress was amazing ! Be forewarned, if you have broader shoulders or an athletic build- go up! I am very consistently a size 4 in RTR, but needed the 6 to accommodate my ribcage. It's fitted like a corset and no bra needed, but I think even the 8 may have been more comfortable. One note - zipping alone is not easy- had to call the hotel concierge in a moment of dress desperation as my bf had left in the limo already ! All around fun and fabulous. Pockets are excellent for storing dinner rolls.

Beautiful form fitting dress, with one flaw..
I ordered a back up size up, per reviews. Both the four and the six fit - very curve hugging but figure flattering. The reason I could not wear it, is that would have been impossible to use the restroom without taking the whole dress off. I have a smaller waist and larger hips/butt, and that fact, combined with a non-stretch midi length meant that I would be constricted the whole day, and the neck zipper was not easy enough to do on my own that I could risk just going for it. Sad, but one of the only times I've been disappointed.

Amazing, Chic & interesting !
The zipper was a bit sticky, and as I am between a 2 & a 4, I went w the 4 to accommodate my more athletic shoulders. I received compliments all night long and felt incredibly chic ! Also, very comfy !! Huge plus? You can wear a standard bra w this as the band is covered

Fantastic Experience!
Just as other reviewers suggested, it was much more fitted than appears in the photo. While normally a size 4, I ordered a 6 and 8, as folks said it runs tight around the hips. The 6 was perfection. Overall a wonderful experience!
