The shirt is attached :(
I wanted to wear this with a black turtleneck to balance the heavy tweed with something sleek and form-fitting. Was super disappointed to find the button down shirt is attached. Also, this is not flattering if you’re hourglass/curvy (again, the turtleneck would have helped a ton here). Sigh, so much wasted potential because the fabric is so lovely and luxe/festive.

Runs huuuuge
I'm usually a Medium or Large and I had to get this in an XS! The chest/torso area is huge, even if you have big boobs. It's almost like the stretchy panel in the back is stretched out but it wasn't because the dress I received still had tags on it.

Size up unless you have twigs for arms
Unless you have twigs for arms, size up! Overall this piece runs small but ESPECIALLY in the arms and shoulders. I am usually a size 6 and I couldn't even get it on. I sized up 2 sizes to a 10 (42) and it was fine, still a little snug in the biceps but def wearable, and appropriately fitted in the torso (I was worried by sizing up it would be baggy but it wasn't).

FUPA
Ugh I wanted to love this so bad. I am obsessed with Trina Turk's coral jumpsuit which fits me like a glove. But the combination of the pleats and what seems to be too much torso fabric creates a really awful baggy FUPA situation (and it's not for lack of hips because I am hourglass and def filled out the hips, plus I don't have a short torso). Extra long torso/extra tall ladies, this jumpsuit might be best for you.

Even with the European sizing, it still runs small.
I followed the instructions and got my size equivalent in the European size, i.e. I'm usually a 6-8 so I got the 10. It was still really small and I couldn't wear it (the size up was sold out). The dress itself is stretchy so there's plenty of give, but the top/zipper was so tight it gave me backfat. :( Also, the ruffle is weirdly asymmetrical, was not expecting that. I'm 5'7" and with moderate heels (~3 inches), the R was the perfect length.

Beautiful dress, got a ton of compliments! AND IT HAS POCKETS! Perfect for the holidays.
I'm a 34DD and the fit was not ideal. It creates a corset-type of look where your chest is flat but you have crazy cleavage, and it kept riding down all night because the chest was tight but the waist was not that snug. Large chested ladies, I DEFINITELY recommend sizing up for your backup size.

Such a fun statement piece!
Rented this for my wedding (which was, appropriately, in NYC) and everyone made a comment about how fun and unique it was! The photographer especially had a lot of fun with it and used it for the picture of our rings and a few fun shots. It's actually roomier than I expected and was able to hold several credit cards, my giant iPhone 7plus, a cigarette case, lipstick and lipgloss, a comb, and a compact mirror. The clasp is pretty strong so it'll stay shut even when overstuffed. It had a hidden strap, but I didn't use it.

So chic and great for different body types
Loved this jumpsuit! Rented it for my wedding rehearsal dinner and felt super chic—will def be renting this again for future weddings. The material is thick enough to hide imperfections, although I wish I would've worn spanx for a little extra smoothness in the butt area. I'm 5'7 and rented the Regular length and it fit well with ~2" block heels. The long would've been way too long. I recommend sizing down for your backup size, for support in the chest area. The top part is only held up by a few clasps which are not all that strong, so if it's even a little loose you will be pulling it up all night and feels super risky for a boob slip. I originally rented a 6 and it was just way too loose up top so RTR had to overnight me a 4 (and mind you I'm pretty busty at 34DD). You can't wear a bra with it but because of the cut you should be fine even if you have a large bust. The hips and waist are roomy enough where sizing down shouldn't be a problem. My measurements are 36/27/38 if that helps.

Runs TWO sizes small
The reviews aren't kidding about this dress running small. I'm usually an 8, very rarely a 10. I ordered the 10 and it was SO unbelievably tight. It was an absolute miracle the dress was even able to zip up, but it was so incredibly tight that I couldn't wear it. I was spilling over the top and back. Important to note is that the bodice/zipper runs all the way down to mid-hip and because it was so tight, the zipper and bottom of the bodice kept riding up. It's a shame because it's such a cute dress and would've been perfect for the black tie charity gala I was going to. Definitely order at least 2 sizes up, especially if you have anything above an A-cup, or hips of any kind.

Bombshell Dress!
As everyone else said, this dress fits like a glove and instantly makes you feel so sexy! It's especially flattering for women who are curvy (and if you're not, it creates curves in all the right places). The back is low so you can't wear a standard bra with it. I opted to wear a backless sticky bra for extra cleavage, but it definitely has enough support to go completely braless. All in all, after wearing this dress, it will be hard to wear anything but Herve Leger!

Feels and fits great!!
I typically wear an 8, sometimes a 10 because I have a large bust and hips. I was concerned because other reviews said the dress runs slightly small and my size up was not available. However, the size 8 fit beautifully. The boning at the bust is perfect. It provided great support (even cleavage!) without a bra, even for a 34D cup like myself. It also fit very comfortably around the hips--not too tight at all. The only thing I would have liked is for the dress to be shorter but other than that, it was great. Definitely a safe bet for all different body types! FYI, my measurements are roughly 36-28-39 Also, definitely pair this with a bold-colored statement necklace. It complements the yellow so well and got a ton of compliments!

Runs slightly large
Other members were correct in saying that it runs a bit large. I usually wear an 8 or 10, but for this one I ordered a 6 and an 8 and chose to wear the 8. Even though the 6 fit just fine, the 8 gave a little more room at the bust so that the lines of my strapless bra weren't visible. Overall, the dress fit very well and falls nicely, and what's great is that it could suit any body type. The color is bold and eye-catching and I wore it with a yellow bubble necklace to give it some even bolder contrast. The only thing I would've liked is for it to be a tiny bit shorter.
