Amazing maternity dress!
So many compliments! Wore at 30 weeks pregnant, the fabric is light and very comfortable. Elastic was flattering and not tight under my bust. The bust was slightly big but I wore a slip underneath and it was fine - could also use fashion tape.

Stunning and so comfortable!
This dress was 10/10! It was a second choice after another dress wasn't available. The red is a very flattering shade. It feels very luxurious and well-made. TTS, I got the 2R and 4R and the 2 fit a little better, snug but not tight. The wedding was in Chicago so I was worried about being chilly - the top layer is heavy enough to keep you warm but still light. I wore a half slip because the lining/zipper area was bunching when I tried it on - the slip was perfect, kept everything smooth and laying flat. I used fashion tape on the shoulder area because I'm not used to a low back dress but it does have grippies to keep everything up. I'm 5'6" and wore 2-3" heels, dress was a perfect length.

Perfect for garden wedding on July 4th
5'6", 125-130 lbs, this dress fit like a dream. Wore medium heels and it was off the ground. The evening was very humid and I was comfortable even with the length.

Want to own this dress!
I cannot say enough about this dress! I rented another option for a wedding and neither size worked, so I ordered this one in a S as a last-minute replacement. The wedding was in April in the Midwest, so the weather potential was all over the place. This dress would have been perfect no matter what - the fabric on top lets a lot of air through so you don't feel hot. The waist fit perfectly and I had room to breathe and eat. The sleeves were a tiny bit baggy, but I also have really skinny arms. I was worried about the neckline, as I usually don't like anything touching the front of my neck and thought it would be tight and irritating but it wasn't at all. And the skirt is so light and fun. I was really happy with this dress and would definitely rent it again (or buy it)!

Wanted to wear this so much!
I wanted this dress to work so badly! The color is so rich and the style is simple but so much fun. I ordered a S with M as my backup, as other reviews said it ran a bit small. Unfortunately, I needed half of one dress and half of the other! The top of the S fit perfectly, but the bottom was just too tight for an evening of eating, drinking, and dancing. The bottom of the M fit perfectly, but the top was just loose enough that I would have been worried about it all night. I ended up switching and getting another dress last minute (which went really smoothly, great customer service!).

Both sizes fit in different ways :(
I really wanted to love this jumpsuit! Based on reviews, I went with the SR with XSR as my backup size. First, I tried the SR. The torso/crotch, calves, and waist all fit great. The top and butt/thigh area were more baggy. Then I tried on the XSR. The top and butt/thigh area fit great, but then the torso/crotch, calves, and waist were all too tight. If I stood perfectly still, the torso/crotch length was fine but if I moved at all, it was a very uncomfortable situation :( In a pinch, I could have worn the SR with a safety pin at the bust, but I ended up wearing something from my own closet instead.

Perfect for a New Years Eve wedding!
This dress was so much fun to wear! The gold dots are bright and shiny enough to catch light, but not too flashy. The fit was perfect for a wedding, it was very comfortable both sitting and dancing around and you can move well. There was a bit more gathered fabric on the top than I anticipated, but it still looked really cute and didn't swallow me. The snap at the bust was located just right without being too high or low. The sleeves were a good feature since it was winter and a church wedding. The skirt hit right at my ankles in the back and moved beautifully. I've never worn a skirt cut like this before (sort of an open wrap) and the only reason it didn't get 5 stars is that I was constantly aware of the skirt falling open, especially when sitting down, though this can probably be addressed with a safety pin.
