RUNS VERY BIG
I am typically wearing a size 10 or large and I wore the small and had plenty of room everywhere. Very comfortable, but will need fashion tape if you’re small chested. Gave 4 stars because it was super long and the arm ties constantly came undone.

Tea length dress win
This dress was quite comfortable, though a bit large in the chest area (and the size 8 was too tight). Fashion tape was enough to make it work. The length was fantastic for a garden wedding. Modest but never touching the ground.

Pack your fashion tape
Echoing all the reviews I read: you need to have lots of fashion tape and this dress is a touch itchy. This dress has little options for adjustment, so if the medium is too snug (mine closed but was unflattering), you’re stuck with the large. Overall, this was a very unique dress and I’d recommend it if you’ve done your review research. I showed up with plenty of fashion tape for the top and I was all set!

High Drama Wedding Dress
This dress checks a lot of boxes: modest, dramatic, great with hair up. Got lots of compliments, a woman even came up to me in the bathroom and said her friend agreed I was best dressed of the wedding guests.

Lovely & comfy
Size down if you’re smaller-chested. I’m usually an 8 or a 10, and for the dress the 6 fit great. The 8 looked good as well, but the 6 fit me perfectly in the bust.

Puffy, puffy sleeves
I rented this and did not even consider wearing it... the cut isn't met for athletic, curvier builds. I would recommend for straighter body types looking to add shape.

Amazing Silhouette
This dress was great and stayed out for the most part! I got a lot of compliments, and I loved not having to carry a purse because my phone and lipstick were in the pockets. I will say it's a little tight in the rib/chest area. I wore it with no bra (usually wear a 36B/C) and was fine, but women with larger chests or band sizes should plan on sizing up... I probably should have worn the XLR for more comfort.

Fabulous Summer Red
This dress was quite comfortable, albeit a bit loose around the rib cage/bust for me. It moved wonderfully and I did not have to adjust it at all through the evening.

High quality dress
This dress felt so nice! It was well constructed but not too hot for a summer wedding. Everyone says this and they mean it - SIZE UP! I wish I had got the 10 with 12 as a back-up size instead of an 8 with 10 as the back-up size. The dress isn't too tight elsewhere, but with the cutouts if it's even a little snug you might squeeze out a bit more than desired.

Beach Formal Wedding
As other reviews have said, this is very snug on the chest. I ordered the medium and the large, and while I fit in the medium, it looked like it was stretched across my body and made me look very wide. I put on the large and it actually looked more slimming. I ordered this a few months before the wedding, and had a minor panic attack that it would be too white for a wedding. That was definitely not the case. The fabric is very printed and the in-between area is pretty blue too. I got a ton of compliments, including from the bride!

The tulle under the skirt makes this dress so fun! Loved the lace shoulders and it was so comfy!

Company Christmas Party Hit
Cute dress but had an appropriate hem line and coverage to be perfect for my company holiday party. Your chest is covered but your back and shoulders are out... its almost like a high-neck racerback fit. The top near the neck fit a little weird, but looked fine most of the evening. I'd definitely recommend!
