Not great for curvy gals
I wear a size 10 dress and couldn't even get the large on. The xl technically fit, but was so unflattering. The dress is deceiving. It looks like it would be great for an hourglass figure, but in reality it would make an athletic figure look like an hourglass.

Great for 20s theme party!
The large fit well, but I went with the xl for length. It's pretty short for a leggy 5'9"

Great dress for pregnancy!
I wore this dress for my anniversary dinner at the beginning of my third trimester. It looked great with a belt added.

Didn't work for pregnancy for a tall woman.
I rented this for my anniversary dinner at the beginning of my third trimester of pregnancy. The lining of the dress is too short to accommodate a belly and cover my bum; I'm 5'9". This was the large size which was also huge in the bust; too large to wear (I'm currently 34E.) I do not recommend the dress for pregnancy. It is however beautiful if you're not pregnant!

I felt great at 37 weeks pregnant in this dress!
I wore this dress to my high school reunion at 37 weeks pregnant. The fabric is thick and forgiving and had plenty of room for my belly in this larger than normal size for me. The sleeve detail was a nice distraction to draw the eye up.

Pretty, but not a wow dress
This dress runs really large. The print is vibrant and very pretty. I liked the dress, but I can't think of any body type on which it would be super flattering. It is not unflattering at all, just not a show stopper.

Prettier in person!
I ordered a larger size because of the reviews. The 10 fit well, but I probably could have worn the 8. This dress is so much prettier in person! I wore it for my birthday and my husband kept telling me that I should buy the dress.

Didn't wear the dress
This dress is not a great fit for a pear shape body. The medium was to tight on the bottom and the large was too big on the top. Pretty dress for a different body type.

This dress was so feminine and comfortable!
This dress runs large! I will rent this again in a 4 or a 6. The dress would be so flattering on a post baby body. It hides everything. There is a lot of fabric and I felt like it made me look bigger than I am. I do think a smaller size would have fixed that problem. Overall, I loved the dress!

I felt beautiful in this dress on my anniversary and received many compliments!
The medium fit, but was tight on my thighs, so I wore the large. The dress showed more cleavage than I anticipated. This dress was great for the hot FL weather because even though it is long, the lining is short. I was nice and cool on a breezy evening. The dress was very flattering on my less than flat "mommy tummy" without wearing spanks or sucking in. I am 5'9" and wore 4 inch heels; the long size was the perfect length.

This dress would look good on someone who is shorter. The waist hit too high for my 5'10" body. It was not flattering on me, but the dress was very pretty.
