I almost didn't get this dress but there was something about it that kept calling to me, so I went for it and I'm glad I did. I read all the reviews (which are mixed / mostly negative due to the shape of the garment) and based on those, I sized down. It was the right choice. The 4 fit well and I think the 6 would have been too roomy in the top section of the dress which is why some people weren't happy with it. I'm wearing this dress for a warm-weather event and I have a feeling it's going to turn heads. Normally, I stay away from flouncy-skirted dresses because I have thick thighs and the fabric tends to drape in an unpleasant way. But the cut of this dress, to me, is perfect. I love how it looks, and honestly I wish it came in more colors because I'd want to wear them all. The pattern is so pretty, and I'm not one to wear patterns so that says a lot!

I'm glad read the other reviews on this dress and sized up because the 8 fit well, and a 6 would have been too small. I love the length of this dress...I'm not super into dresses to hit much above the knee, and I like that this plunging neckline has some mesh over it to create a little bit of modesty. I went without a bra here and as someone who has naturally saggier breasts (always have), I think I can pull this off without any pasties, etc. The mesh around the neck is a little bit scratchy but not enough to make me send it back without wearing to my event. I expect to get a lot of compliments on this dress.

When I took this dress out of the bag, I did NOT think it was going to fit. However, I was pleasantly surprised that the material was stretchy and giving. I have a muscular back / arms so I had to work a little to zip it up but once it was zipped, it felt great. I probably could have sized up without an issue and had it be a bit looser. The slit on the side is awesome but probably too revealing for a work environment. I was also surprised because at 5'3" (shorter than average), I expected this one to hit me slightly below the knees compared to the model but as you can see, it's just above the knee on me. I'm not sure why that happened but luckily, I don't feel that this is too short. The asymmetrical look is great (love the side ruching which isn't as obvious from the photo). Great dress!

I've never worn jumpsuits because I never thought they would work for my body type, but I decided "What the heck?" and went for this one. The fit was perfect! I don't have a strapless bra but it turns out, I don't need one. The strapless top feels 100% secure. And I love the roominess of the pant legs. I have muscular legs and let's just say, pants are a problem...but no problems here. I rented this for an event / party and with the right necklace and hair, it's going to be perfect. Would definitely rent again.
