Cute for nursing mom

I needed some options for vacation to feel pulled together and still be able to nurse in. This dress fit comfortably and did allow me to nurse easily. Due to being very petite, wrap styles always drape too low and open on me so I had to wear a bra with camisole-like coverage, but made it work.

Odd bodice fit

The bodice was too tight for a bra but the fabric is thick enough to go without. The straps were long and as I moved around, it slid down and looked much less flattering. There is a lot heavy fabric skirt that I think it weighs it down on a petite frame. The bodice buttons aren't functional which was a bummer because I need something I can nurse in. The strap button on the front actually was functional so I could have made it work, but ultimately didn't wear due to the sliding down problem.

Comfortable for nursing

I was going on vacation and had a really hard time finding clothes I can nurse in while still feeling pulled together. This was the only thing I rented that adequately covered my chest while still allowing me access to nurse on the go. It was a little long and obviously had some extra fabric for a belly, but I didn't feel frumpy. The print is nothing special, but it's soft and comfortable and functional and helped me feel pulled together.

Perfect for Petite

This was a perfect option for a very petite girl. Since it's cropped, it ended up perfect full length on me. I usually can't wear deep V necks due to my very short torso, but the tie at the back of the neck let me tie it exactly as tight as I needed to and there was no gaping at the shoulders. I took a chance on this one and it was a very pleasant surprise.

So light and comfy

This was once nothing I would ever wear on my very petite figure. But now that I'm trying to hide a shocking amount of first trimester bloating in the desert heat, it is the best thing ever. It covers without clinging. The material is light and airy and flows beautifully. It made me feel like a million bucks while my body has felt bloated and uncomfortable.

Pretty pattern but weird fit for me

I got this in a 6 even though size 4 usually fits me well in Kate Spade. I feel certain a size 4 in this dress would have been too tight through my belly and hips as I had *just* enough room without it clinging. The top ruffle was just too much on my petite frame so I was somehow swimming in it yet uncomfortably packed in at the same time. Just not the dress for me, but I love the colors and pattern. I'm sure it would be gorgeous on a taller body.

The fit was great for a super petite body type. It really sparkles in the pictures. Unfortunately I didn't get any decent shots of the full dress to share here.

As suspected, not right for a petite figure

I took a chance on this dress because I really love the style. As a very petite woman, it just did not fit right with the fitted waist falling too low and tight across my lower abdomen/upper hips. I think I could have gotten away with the overall length, but the sleeves were way too long. It's definitely not the fault of the dress-it's gorgeous, but not a good choice for my body.

Pretty and festive dress

I loved the color and shape of this dress. It flattered my pear shaped body and was fun to wear. However, given that I'm much smaller on top, with very narrow shoulders it surprised me that the dress was tight across the torso and limited my arm movement a bit. I didn't really notice it other than when I was retouching my hair. However, I imagine women with average or wider shoulders would want to size up or maybe choose a different style.

Gorgeous and fun!

I loved the color and the lace detail. Got many compliments throughout the evening. The fit was just right for me and the length was good for a very petite body--not too short, but not too long to be flirty. If I could change one thing, I'd lower the neckline a bit. It would have been more flattering on me, but that's a minor detail.

Great dress

I am a really unusual combination of measurments (4'10",30D,23,36), so I entered into my first RTR experience with the understanding that it just might not work for me. Luckily, I fared pretty well with this dress. The cream fabric was lovely and I was pleasantly surprised by its weight. Unlike many dresses, the bodice was the right length for me so I didn't get any bunching in the back and it hit right at my natural waist. As I anticipated, the skirt was quite tight on my hips and backside. Not to the point that it pulled in an unflattering way, but enough that I probably wouldn't wear it to a work function. I think this dress is a great choice for petite girls. It was fitted enough throughout and hit above my knees. I felt lovely in it and, as a bonus, my boyfriend loved it too. Hope that helps!

Lovely dress

First off, I am a combination of strange measurements (4'10", 30D, 23, 36), so I expect to have fit issues. I really liked this dress, but I would have benefitted from a slightly smaller and shorter cut in the bodice. It wasn't so oversized that it was a problem, but I definitely had extra room at the bust and waist. The only thing that annoyed me was the weird cut of the arms. Since I'm quite short, the arm openings hung low on me and you could see a bit of the sides of my bra at times. However, I don't think this would be the case on a taller person. My favorite detail was the V back, which was so flattering. I received lots of compliments.
