LL fit made for size 8 waist with GG bust
The sizing for this dress is very unusual. The waist was fitted, but the bust was extremely large and very gapped. Did not wear.

Hugs curves without being too tight!
This dress runs large in my opinion, but it might have stretched out due to overuse. What I didn't realize from the photos or reviews is that the dress is made out of cheapish sweater material which seems kind of odd for a summer dress, but it also allows you to dress it up if you want to. I wore it to dinner with black heeled sandals and again to a picnic on a 90 degree day. I was drenched in sweat, but you couldn't see any sweat stains, and I was surprisingly comfortable. I also like the length because you can sit on a picnic blanket/park comfortably without having to readjust the dress every time. This dress is tricky brawise, especially with a D cup. I wore a salmon pink bandeau bra because a normal strapless showed on the sides. The fit of this dress is a bit large, but I liked it because the material doesn't constrain you like other bandaid-type dresses to the point that you end up feeling like you're wearing spanx after having a glass of water or a bite to eat. Somehow the dress still accentuated my curves really nicely even when I was feeling bloated. I have a thinner waist, so this style usually works well with my figure, but I would recommend this dress for all body types. Try it!

Fun and festive romper that offers full coverage.
I would've given this 5 stars, but one of the straps was broken when I received the shipment, so I mended it myself the night of the event. I love the print on this romper. It is festive and would be perfect for any summer party with heels or could be casual with white slip on tennis shoes. What I really loved about the romper (and what can make rompers difficult) was that it is full booty coverage and doesn't ride up when walking or bending of .5 inches in the front once you adjust the straps. My only minor critique would be that it starts to wrinkle pretty easily.

Unique and elegant!
This dress is very flattering and has a delicate yet sophisticated look. I opted to wear a bandeau bra underneath because it is very low cut. I would have worn it with cup inserts or braless to a more formal event/ evening event though. The one thing I disliked about the dress was the various liners. You really need to pay attention or the slip out.

Cinderella for the professional woman!
This dress is absolutely stunning! I really felt like Cinderella, but in the least Disney way possible. I wore "Double Scoop" bra inserts, and they worked well. The dress is not the most comfortable material and gets a bit warm on the dance floor, so probably not the best for a humid summer event. I have a thin waist, and the dress was snug around the ribs, so you may want to go a size up if your waist is larger.
