Size up 2 sizes
My natural waist measures 31” and I typically wear a size 29 in most denim brands. I ordered the 30 per other recommendations, and these were wearable but uncomfortable for all day. I would reccomend ordering up 2 full sizes from your usual.

Wonderful Cotton Dress
This was a fun piece to wear as is and layer with pants. I am 5’8 so it felt a little short for me, but just a personal preference. Loved that it’s cotton for end of summer. Fabric weight is heavier.

Perfect Versatile Piece
Loved how polished I felt in this, and also so comfortable from day to night. Perfect for end of summer and into fall. Took my normal size

Exquisite
Incredible piece, rented for a wedding. My usual size fit well and was extremely comfortable. This does not come with a slip unfortunately, but I was fine with wearing nude undergarments. Shorter girlies, this is on the longer side. I was okay at 5’8 with a 2” heel, but if you’re shorter you’ll definitely need a good heel. Highly recommend.

Size down!
Fabulous for a wedding guest outfit. I rented my usual size and it looked baggy around the princess seams in the bodice, but the next size down fit much better and still comfortable to wear all night and dance it. Main fabric is a poly/cotton poplin that’s very soft and not too structured. I had a hard time with the lining catching in the side zipper on both dresses, so warning to proceed with caution when zipping and unzipping!

Itchy itchy
Bought to wear to work and for weekends, but the back side of the crochet is bonded with a webbing that is itchy next to the skin. Could be worn with a Tee underneath but it wasn’t the look I was aiming for in high summer.

December Wedding Guest
This was a great look for a December wedding! I wore my true size, it fit like a glove! I thought the top fit a little loose, but I only realized after taking it off that the built in bra has a seperate zipper in the back. If I had closed this up I think the top would have fit perfectly. Highly recommend.

Black Tie Showstopper
Rented for a black tie optional wedding in October. Rented my usual size and it fit like a glove. If you’re in between sizes I would recommend the larger size as it’s a true but snug fit. Comfortable to wear all day and dance in, and travels well in a carry on suitcase (with a steam of course). Loved this one!

Not a Cozy Fabric
Fabric is a synthetic micro mesh. Not a smooth and cozy fabric to wear all day. Fits true to size but sleeves are proportionally too long.

Chic and Easy
This fit true to size, and super comfy to wear all night and dance in. Easy to wear and an instant chic moment. The skirt was longer than I expected, and the bodice not as elongating on my 5'8 frame. Would still highly recommend!

Peak chic!
I wore this to an outdoor July wedding and loved the breathability of the cotton without compromising a true fashion statement. I found this fits true to size--defintely fitted at the waist but not uncomfortable. A masterpiece dress!

Beautiful and breathable summer top
A beautiful cotton summer top to pair with a skirt or shorts. The ties and appliqués are so special. I did have to re-tie them quite often during a day of wear however. I am a true 8, and I felt this ran a little large, as the sleeves would slide down my shoulders, but I still felt comfortable in the 8, as I prefer a looser fit in general.

Smaller, night out bag
I was expecting this to be a bit larger and easier to use for every day, but it is pretty small and only ideal for a night out with only the essentials. I also found that it was difficult to clasp shut on the go, so I found it too fussy to use every day. Beautiful color and material though.

Classic summery piece
This was a beautiful piece, very comfy for all day wear in the summer as it's all cotton. I am a true 8 (29" waist) and I felt that this runs large and I would have preferred a size 6, as this sat more on my hips instead of fitted at the waist. Overall, pairs well with ornate summer blouses.

TRÈS CHIC
Loved this dress, it's incredibly chic with the open back and dropped waist. I thought it fit true to size, but if you have a shorter torso, this may not be for you, as the neck tie is not adjustable (faux tie). I have a 36C chest and I felt comfortable in the top.
