I'm small up top and padded everywhere else. This dress can be tightened around the top and is loose everywhere else, so it was perfect for me and the sizing wasn't a problem. I didn't love the fabric- I was joking about it being a tent - but I think it looked nice enough and photographed well. It's a great pop of color. I'm 5'6" and wore maybe 3" heels and it was fine in the front. It does trail in the back though and people kept stepping on it! I didn't wear a bra and didn't feel like I needed to.

The dress is pretty thick and structured, which makes it flattering. It actually seemed brighter/bolder in the photo and a little more on the pastel side in real life. It rode up a little bit but not a big deal. The pockets also stick out a little (at least on me), which gave it almost a slight peplum look. I got lots of compliments.

I rented this for my company's holiday party and ended up wearing a cardigan for the first part of the night because it was a little more revealing than I expected in terms of the low neckline. It was also pretty tight. I ordered a six and a four and they are stretchy enough that I could get into both and zip them up, but definitely felt more comfortable in the six. It rode up a bit but not too much of an issue. Overall, my coworker gave me "two thumbs up" and it was a flattering, fun dress that was great for a nice event but not too fancy.
