Could be cute on thinner body types
This looked very "little house on the prairie" on me. Could be because Im on the curvy side and the puffiness of the dress didn't do me any favors. Fabric is cute, and on the ticker side.

Extremely too small
Im usually a 10, sometimes 12 (due to my bust) but I got this in a 14 based on other reviews. The dress wasn't even close to closing. The fabric was lovely and the color os gorgeous, but the sizing is WAY off. Super bummer.

Size up - beware of front slit!
This was a cute dress for sure, but I definitely needed to size up as the waist has NO give. Im usually a 10/12 and wore a 14. I have an hourglass shape and due to that, the dress did not close in the front for me, so the infamous "slit" everyone else has reviewed about was basically open nearly up to my crotch just standing up. Sitting down, you could see everything, so this was not an option for me. Its a quite flattering dress besides that bit, but if you have hips like me, you might want to look elsewhere for a dress.

Not the Lady Gaga look I was hoping for!
Cute top, but the shoulders are definitely odd - the fabric isn't thick enough/have enough integrity to maintain its erect shape, so it just looks like weird bumps on the shoulder - it wasn't even remotely close to the image. I just folded the bumps in the shoulder seam which was better than the alternative. Besides that, it fit true to site and was cute. I have a larger bust and it was still cute while not being super revealing.

This dress fit perfectly- didn't even have to wear a bra! I'm 6ft tall so finding a dress long enough can be a struggle and the long perfectly skimmed the floor with flats on. The zipper was a huge pain to zip up but that seems to just be the case with this dress!

Felt like a Greek Goddess
As most others have raved, I wish I could have kept this dress! Not only is it extremely flattering, but its comfortable and light; great for summer events. I was worried with my larger chest size that my boobs would either be squished or up in my face, corset style, but I was able to wear a bra AND the ladies looked great! I'm 6ft tall and the long size touched the ground (in flats) perfectly.

Classy Yet Sexy!
I didn't end up wearing this dress, but it was a tough call to go with another dress. The color is perfect for the summer, and the chiffon skirt was very light and airy - making it great for an outdoor event. It was nice to be able to wear a bra with this dress if I wanted to, since the back is fully covered.

Beautiful Dress for Outdoor Summer Event!
I was so in love with this dress! The fabric is very light, which makes it perfect for an outdoor event. It was snug on my waist and didn't puff out below the seam, which made it very flattering. I have a large bust, but was able to go without a bra. However, the pleats kind-of smooshed my boobs in weird ways, but luckily the pattern hid any potential weirdness. Wonderful, bright, beautiful maxi for summer events - I would rent again!

Beautiful yet simple dress
This dress fit perfectly. Its difficult to find things that fit well as I am very tall and have a large bust. I didn't have to wear a bra with this dress, which was wonderful, and it was absolutely long enough. Everyone couldn't get over how gorgeous the dress was and how well it flowed. Its easy to dress this piece up or down, depending on your event! One thing that was difficult, however, was the zipper. It was nearly impossible to zip up once on! The dress wasn't even fitting extremely tight either, it just kept getting stuck on the top half. Had to recruit some man-hands to help, but it was worth it!
