Beautiful, Arms a Bit Snug
If you ah e more muscular arms, just know the no stretch sheer may be a bit snug but is manageable. As someone with a small chest, I loved the scooping neckline and found it very flattering. As someone who is 5’4” and does NOT have long limbs, sleeves were a smidge long so just take caution eating and shaking hands!

Comfortable, Flattering, Adjustable
I would buy if I had sized down one - but as someone with a wider hips/ butt and narrower waist, this silhouette is perfect. You can adjust the waistline, and I messed with tying and untying the bottom, and at different levels of tight (I didn’t love a full cinch jogger vibe, I like the middle). The adjustability was great and the fabric is very soft.

Beautiful, Comfortable, Detail better in Person
I loved this dress but feel like the detail and fit are better in person than photographed. Not too long for 5’4” and as someone with wider hips I felt like I had plenty of room. You can adjust the tie at the back for a lower or higher neckline, I preferred it lower.

Comfy Chic and Comfy
This dress is so great. I didn’t snazzy up the styling, but it’s a great base with good weight, shape, and texture for many outfits. SO comfy. It does stretch out, which I didn’t mind, and this is the second time I’ve rented this dress and this was one size smaller and I liked that more, can size up for less fitted but sizing can flex on preference.

It’s a Dream - Fit, Weight, Comfort
This dress is the best. I wore it with heels for a snazzier look, and sandals and cross body throughout the daytime. I could have gone down a size, but it wasn’t a huge deal. I didn’t find it super see through and used sticky boobs. It’s so comfortable, no adjusting while wearing, and the weight just makes it move beautifully. Big fan.

Stripes Orientation Complicates a Great Dress
True to other reviews, it is so soft and comfy and flattering EXCEPT if it shifts funny your tummy will look off. I decided I didnt care and wore anyway, but I see why it would bother people. Perfect for pregnant women for sure, just roll with it if you’re not. lol.

Easy to Style, Specific Fit
The waist didn’t totally fit but the legs fit great so anything covering the waist still looked super cute. A bit long for 5’4 but still able to wear flats!

Not for gals with shape
The pattern is so cute but it wrinkles instantly and on anyone with a booty or other curves, it turns you into a box. Just not a super flattering fit!

Ideal for lunging but could easily be styled dressed up. Super versatile! Long on me/ would come super high on my torso, but I usually rolled them.

So Close to Perfect
This dress is incredible. Beautiful color, comfortable, cool details. I love sir and felt beautiful. ONLY issue is what others mentioned - is does have a little flare in the fabric that is the bottom of the cut out. Not sure why… I ignored it but would be great if it laid flat!

So chic and so cool. Boobs need Support though.
This dress I just loved so much - wore a different one but would rent again. If you’re smaller cheated some kind of sticky boob helps give it a little more full appearance but it got my waits etc really well. Gorgeous and classy with a touch of spice.

Pretty small - Maybe not great for hips!
I definitely should t have gotten a small, but that’s all there was. Was way too small for my hips (39” - 40” ish) and so the slit wasn’t a slit it was a huge gap lol. Print is gorg. Maybe in a bigger size!

Super cool - Skin tone specific!
This dress is very cool and the buttons are just lovely. Didn’t wear because it was a bit funky on my chest, but it fit my shape super well. Maybe one size up? Honestly the color got me in the end or I may have worn it. This shade just depends on your skin tone!

Boob flatter but Hamptons vibes on point
Color is super cute, chest wasn’t flattering for me personally. Fabric had some silver woven in which I didn’t expect. But the dress is a vibe and very comfy!

Comfy but a lounge look.
These were cool but I just wasn’t a fan of the print irl. It looked like elevated boxers/ pajama shorts. I def think they could be styled cool but just wasn’t for me this time. Comfy and great fit though!

So flattering and comfy - some spice
This dress is so comfortable and just hugs your shape 👌🏼 I didn’t feel comfy wearing it out as it was a bit shapely for what I was going to wear it for, but a wonderful dress if that’s your vibe.

So Good - Just Fit Particular
I loved this dress so much, but per other reviewers you need some fashion tape or if you move your shoulders exposure is real. I couldn’t find my fashion tape so we used some twine and tied the straps together which made it fit a bit more snug and I was set! I wore flats because of where the wedding was and it wasn’t dragging but it was definitely at being stepped on by others as it was a tad long. Get it though - so flattering and confidence inspiring!

Not for winter, but stunning & comfy!
I kinda knew this wouldn’t be for a winter black tie, but it was such a beautiful color I tried it. While I chose a different one, this one fit so comfortably and flowed nicely. I didn’t have issues with the skirt feeling too heavy, I like it. Color is just 👌🏼. Keeping it saved for a future wedding. I’m small chested so the chest was kinda flat, but I think the texture of the dress makes up for it. I also have a short torso and the drop on the exposed sides and length still worked well.

So comfortable and chic. Casual sleeves.
Tried this for a November, Chicago black tie but it was a bit less formal than another one I found as the sleeves are like a long sleeve tee. All in all though, comfy fabric, secure feeling (wasn’t sure how this would be), a good length with heels for someone 5’4.5”

Beautiful fabric, shape hugger for sure, straps a little funky.
The fabric, color, and low back are gorgeous. Wasn't my favorite of the ones I got, primarily because the shape didn't feel as flattering and I have slightly broader/ more muscular shoulders so the thin straps felt insecure and like I would need to be adjusting them from falling off. The rest of it fit very well.
