So much stretch!
This dress is pretty forgiving the only area where it's really cinched is in the waist but the arms etc all have good stretch

Long waisted
This was fine definitely need a longer torso to make it work. The material was a bit heavy so more late fall/winter type of dress.

Eh not great for curves
This dress just did nothing for me. It wasn’t flattering or unflattering just kind of meh. I think if you are a size 8 or smaller this will hang correctly and look good.

Shinier than it looks in photos
This dress has silver thread or something that is hard to see in photos but it’s actually a shiny dress which is not my thing. Flattering for sure but just not into sparkles personally.

Great if you have a smaller chest
I loved this material and look etc but it just made me look massive - as one friend put it “like a Christmas tree topper” which sadly I agree with. I think you probably need to be a C cup or smaller to make this work unfortunately.

Runs small - no give
I think this is one of those where an XL is actually a 10 mayyybe 12. There is 0 stretch. It’s cute just runs small.

Low low low cut
This dress was so cute and flattering but it was just so low cut I couldn’t get away with it. I guess you could safety pin it - but I hate that look. The issue is I had to size up to fit my hips and then the top didn’t fit - so if you are less curvy probs won’t be an issue.

Tight in hips
This dress is actually fitted in the hips which I did not realize, I can often wear dresses that are 12/14 but I do have wider hips and this was a no go for me - it looked like it would be loose on the hips but fyi it’s not.

Boob tape needed
I did not end up wearing this didn’t feel like getting involved with the tape. The only fitted area is in the ribcage on this dress - the arms/hips are endless and it’s quite flattering if you want to deal with the tape.

Watch out - high slit
This dress is great but the slit on the side is deceptively high - I didn’t realize it until I got into an Uber and spent the night trying to drape things over my very exposed leg 😂 I was more looking for a flowy easy thing. Just wanted to warn you about this one because I missed it on the model.

I've rented this a few times
This is a great dress for a vacation - packs well - lightweight - one of those you will wear multiple times since it's so comfortable. Great in the heat

Easy to wear - slightly small in the chest
Great material - well made - but not great on large chest - looked a bit "milk maid" in 2021 thing - wore to a brunch spent the whole time pulling up the front

Chest problems / small
This dress was great other than being small in the chest on me. Nice fabric although a tad wrinkled would have had to steam it. Just did not work on my chest but very loose everywhere else.

So fun and easy to wear
This is one of those dresses you keep going for - it works in a lot of scenarios - found myself wearing it multiple times over the week I had it and then rented it again a different time. Have to wear a mobilizer bra with it to make it work. Love this one though

Comfortable big skirt
Nice cotton really comfortable - has stretch up top the skirt does not but roomy enough. The only thing was there was some gaping in the armpit area - perhaps you need a larger chest for the size 18 to fill it out but I'm a 38F so not sure. Nice day time causal thing - just not awesome fit for me.

Need to be smaller than 38E up top- otherwise great
Loved the way this looked except didn't fit over my chest - it's cotton and there is zero give. Should be fine if you don't have a large chest. Was bummed it didn't work.

Runs small!
Really comfortable material - cotton and stretchy. It does run really small I'm normally a 12 in tops tried this in 1x really tight in the stomach area - see photograph. Will try it in larger size because it's flattering etc but I've never worn a 2x in anything ever. Need to love your stomach to pull this one off.

This hangs really well for an oversized sweater. It's also cotton/not itchy at all. Enjoying this one!

Super short if you have a large chest!
This shirt is adorable - fabric is nice the tie allows it to be sexy without over the top. That said I don't think if you are other a C cup this will work - unless you are looking for a cropped shirt.

Hourglass dream
Perfect for work - when you want to stand out a bit - has several coworkers tell me I had the Joan from madmen thing going. Loved that this hit right below the knee - covered all problem areas. This is a good DVF dress.

Really different in a good way
Loved this dress the pattern is nice and the material is rich. Really standout and the keyhole worked on me - there was enough material for my 38DD situation for what it's worth.

Loved this one
Perfect for a baby shower! Loved the bow but the colors made it less cutesy - had many compliments on this one. Only fitted in the waist and even that had some give.

Sheer up top
Literally see through on top - I'm not into the cami under a dress look but you would have to have it for this dress as your bra would be showing if not. Really odd.
Yasmine Tiered Floral Dress
Shoshanna
Size Worn: 14R
Usual Size: 14

Lots of compliments
This dress is really only fitted in the rib cage area - it's really flowy around hips/butt plenty of room for arms. If you have a small waist this is a great option. The material is cotton and a tad heavy so might not be great on a super hot day.

So cute but need c cup or less
Loved this dress/pattern - and there were no larger chested people who had tried it so I took a chance - as you can see - did not work out so well. Super roomy and forgiving everywhere but obviously wouldn't work for me.
Floral Honey Maxi
Banjanan
Size Worn: NONE

Tight in the hips - large in the chest
I could not get this over my thighs/butt area. I think you need to be pretty narrow to pull this one off.

Really luxe material looks better than it photographs
This dress is really nice - it's only really fitted in the rib cage area - plenty of space in the hips/arms etc. The dress comes together with snaps which was nerve wracking that it was going to just come undone - but that didn't occur.

Runs small - not for over a B cup maybe C
Love Cynthia stuff - this dress was just a bit small in the hips and obviously the chest area. Sometimes keyholes work if there is enough fabric but uh not here clearly. I would size up one - I can range from a 12-16 depending on dress and this one has no give and looked horrible - you are welcome for the unflattering photo which shows in what ways. I think you need to be sub a size 10 and with a smaller chest and this will look great. Loved the pattern/material just no dice!

Meh.
Love the print and the material but it was just massive. Also the bust area was just weird with the ties - even though the dress was massive the top part wasn't quite long enough to cover my bust if I moved at all. Just ok

Little house on the prairie chic
Love this designer but the looks are a bit out there. Very on trend right so alright I'll try. I actually got a lot of compliments on this one. The overall size is in fact large I'm more of a size 14/16 and I could wear this as a 12 - it is fitted in the bust / waist area which for me is my smallest part. Tons of room in the hips/butt and the arm puffs have stretch as well. The wrinkles came out after I wore it for an hour or two.

Loved this for everyday
So first of all this dress was not see through. I read the reviews and was a bit nervous that it was going to be a coverup only situation. I'm not sure if it was this sizing being so large that it made it not shear? I had no issue with this. The dress is silk, easy to wear and the tassels look nice/expensive. Loved this one.

Sweet summer dress
Really cute dress - lots of compliments on this one. Loved that the arms were covered a bit as well. The only area of concern was the bust area im a 36ddd and at moments it was pulling a bit- I think I might be the largest bust size you could be in this dress.

Really sweet summer dress
Dress looked great on my hourglass figure- if you are trying to hide your stomach not sure this is the dress for you. The material was also a bit stiff - obviously not something you can tell in a photo but it looked great in photos.

Beyond comfortable!
This dress was great - stretchy material and very breathable. It was a bit large on me - a 14 would have been a bit better maybe even a 12. Did have to pin the back to make it fit up top, because it was big - but not so big I didn't want to wear it. Incredibly comfortable to wear all night as well. It's one of those dresses that won't wow anyone but it was really comfortable for an August wedding in sea island Georgia.

A little too much cleavage....
This dress is sexy. I rented for a family wedding and did not end up wearing because the cleavage situation was a bit much for the event. It also was a tad short - did not want to deal with pulling it down all night. Great fabric hides imperfections, and love the sleeves covering the arms - just a bit sexy for the event.
