It was ok
On a slimmer frame, I think this dress is probably more flattering. It was comfortable, but its bulkier shape didn't really do it for me.

Not flattering for lower stomach
Overall the fit was larger than expected but then it hung weirdly on my lower abdomen in a very not flattering way. Shapewear is a must, but even then, it was pretty meh.

Not as expected
The fit was much looser than I expected, and the waist sits weird. Fun concept but execution-wise, especially for the price point and designer, I expected more.

Beautiful day wear
Beautiful flowy dress to wear while touring Cartagena. Definitely need a second person to help with the side zipper on the top part due to location of the zipper.

🔥A must wear
This dress was hot! The fit and rouching hides any trouble spots and embraces the cleavage. I got so many compliments when I wore it. If I was younger, I may have gone without tights but I was a little uncomfortable with how short it was in the back - like butt cheeks almost out. If you have a sizable peach, just something to be aware of. Otherwise, 10 out of 10.

Perfect work dress
The peplum style is executed perfectly on the dress. The draped fabric hangs just right where shape wear isn't needed. So comfortable, great color, and so many compliments. I bought this once size smaller than what I rented because I wanted a little more fitted feel.

A fun way to try the cutout trend.
I've been wanting to try the cutout trend, and I'm glad I did with this dress. It is so comfortable and classy looking. Not a huge fan of the color, but it worked. If you happen to see this in time, the black version of the dress is on sale at Neiman Marcus for $160!

Really pretty, feminine dress
I wish this time I actually went with RTR's suggestion and sized down, because this dress runs a size or two big. Still, I loved it. It was comfy, has pockets, and looks delicate despite what you would think would cause a bulky look.

This dress + shapewear are a perfect pair.
I needed shapewear to smooth out some visible bumps, but the dress is fun and flirty. If I bought it, I'd size up one more size so I had a little more room all-over.

Perfect Queen of Hearts Dress
I rented this for an Alice in Wonderland-themed event, and it was a bit hit. I was going for Queen of Heart vibes. It made my boobs look great (no bra needed), and it has pockets! I wish the 14 had work (there was a zipper issue) because the 16 was a little too flowy below my waist, but it was still a beautiful dress.

Complimented my assets!
The fit of this dress was perfect. I could have done the 14, but it would have been a little tighter, and I wouldn't have liked the length as much. Leg slit was perfect height. Dress wasn't hot even though it was long sleeved--I danced comfortably all night!

This was a little hot for late spring and a little short to wear without leggings to work, but it's a really cute piece. It would be a perfect fall outfit.
