No stretch but GORGEOUS
I had my eye on this dress for a while and was so glad to wear it to a black tie wedding in late fall. It was so unique with gorgeous detailing, and it fit my curvy body well despite there being no stretch. I sized up to account for this, so the straps were a bit long/bust was a bit big, so keep this in mind if you have a small bust like me. I wore a pushup bra but still was definitely pulling the straps up a bit all night. Worth it though!

cute, but didn't love neck
The dress was so comfortable and nice and stretchy, so it fit great. However, due to the material it didn't look as elegant as I would've hoped (needed for a black tie wedding). Also, the rose on the neck is HUGE and kind of unwieldy-- compared to my head/neck it felt too big and heavy.

Runs small and not for curves
Really wanted to love this and even sized up to account for the fabric since I knew it wouldn't stretch. However, I couldn't even get it on all the way due to the skirt being so tight. If I had sized up to a 6 it would've been giant up top.

So unique and flattering; wish it came in more colors
This dress was so cool. I loved the unique neckline (very East Asian-inspired) and the ruching was so flattering. Wore on a bachelorette trip. The dress could probably be worn for something more formal, but due to the color it felt a little too revealing for me. A darker color would be amazing for something at night/more formal! Also the aqua is tough to pull off— felt like it washed me out.

Well-made but nothing exciting
I could’ve gotten away with wearing this dress, but despite sizing up it was still very tight in the lower body. Fabric has no stretch and it’s really hard to get the underneath corset to zip. The dress itself was underwhelming— felt too bridesmaid-like due to its simplicity and color.

GORGEOUS (but tall girls beware)
I wore this to a black tie wedding in late summer. Was worried about heavy material but it ended up being fine/super worth it! The dress was so fun and unique. I don’t think I’ve ever worn a dress like this before— literally random people on the street were complimenting it! The dress had stretch despite being thick, so it fit like a glove and didn’t fall down. The only thing that sucks is that the dress must’ve been hemmed by Nuuly, because it is not properly floor length even for someone average height like me. I ended up buying basically flat (1”) heels so that the dress was a little past ankle length. Nuuly, PLEASE do not hem that much! Taller girls will miss out on this gorgeous dress.

For models only
This dress was super weird fit-wise. Not for people with curves unless you size up a lot. I sized up 1x due to previous reviews and I couldn’t even fit it over my hips. The material is gorgeous but there’s no give at all.

Wore to wedding welcome party
I wore this to a wedding welcome party/bar beforehand. You can dress this up or down; for me I wore it with wedges so it was casual enough to wear on the street but fit the wedding vibe. the bodice is a stretch material but irl it has very little give, so if you have a larger bust beware. For me the XS was a somewhat tight fit but was needed to give that snatched look in the waist. The dress came new with tags so it also stretched out with a little wear. The skirt made me feel like Carrie Bradshaw and was so fun.

Didn’t get to wear but gorgeous
I’m sad I never got to wear this dress anywhere— it was a little too fancy for the rehearsal dinner I planned to wear it to. Marketed as a cocktail dress but I’d say it’s more suitable for formal attire. Despite the smocking the skirt is very full/heavy, so it’s not as beachy as it looks online. Super well made and unique. Definitely order!

Wayyyy too long
I could’ve probably sized up in these pants to fit better in the butt/thighs area, but then the waist and length would’ve been too big. These pants are SOOO long despite me being average height. Can only wear with heels.

Very cute but a little itchy/long
I kind of liked that this top wasn’t cropped, as it made it better for workwear. However it was so long that it was hard to tuck into bottoms. Also the material was very scratchy

Weirdly small
This top was not true to size. I have a relatively small torso and I still could barely move my arms. The arm holes/neck area were super tight.

Comfy and professional
Great blazer with just enough structure while still being trendy and working with the relaxed fit of the pants. Works better unbuttoned bc of the double-breasted aspect which felt kind of restrictive.
