Terrible fit
This style is adorable. So much so that I overlooked the bad reviews. Big mistake. Once I wrestled the material over my (relatively small) bust, the top was enormous but I couldn’t get the bottom half past my hips. I tried stepping into it instead; still no luck. There’s a zipper and buttons but there is about 6 inches that’s permanently closed and that’s what prevents actually getting the dress on. Too bad since it’s a super cute style.

Perfect (with a shaper!)
This fit just right in the waist / hips; the top was a bit big so sizing up wouldn’t have worked. Without a shaper, the fabric showed my belly button but with one on, it was perfect. The color was bright and fun and perfect for a night out in Miami. Highly recommend!

Stylish and comfortable
I wore this on a cruise. It was a nice weight for warm weather; loved the pockets. The top was a bit big; I sized up because I wanted to make sure the torso was long enough but I ended up needing to use fabric tape to attach to my bra. I got lots of compliments; pretty blue color!

Cute for a date
I wore this to a nice restaurant while on vacation. The back sits very low; to had to keep tugging it up. I probably could have done a smaller size but was worried about the length. Overall it was cute and flattering. Very pretty color palate and interesting cut.

Cute for sightseeing
I wore this in Miami on a very warm day to do some sightseeing. Despite the heat, I was comfortable. There is a lot of fabric; I probably could have sized down but it was comfortable and cute. I loved the pattern and my husband thought it was a dress at first. Would recommend!

Odd fit
This dress fit me awkwardly. I’m generally a solid medium but this was very tight. A shaper helped but the bust was still way too small (and I have a small bust). Size up especially if you have any bust to speak of. If you do make the fit work, the color is beautiful! Disappointed it didn’t work for me!

Beautiful winter cocktail dress - runs small
This dress is lovely. The colors are so vibrant and it has real embroidery. It was the perfect dress for a winter gala. It does run small; I would normally take a 6/8 or medium and definitely needed the large here. It was a tiny bit loose in the bust but the straps were secure and didn’t slip down and a medium would have been too tight in the hips. There’s a back slit but you’ll still have limited leg movement: I was able to dance but getting into the car was tough! Highly recommend!

Zipper made it impossible to wear! So sad!
I adore this dress. Total Pretty Woman vibes. I ordered two different dresses (one size each due to availability) for a work black tie event. I successfully got this dress zipped once (see picture). The three other times I tried to put it on, the zipper would stick a few inches from the top and would not budge. Three different people tried to help me without luck. I was so sad because everyone who saw the dress was in love with it but I ended up wearing my other option.

Absolutely gorgeous!
I rented this dress for a black tie work function. I took a chance and ordered the one available size with no backup size. Luckily the reviews were spot on and the 8R fit perfectly. I wore a 1.5-2 inch heel which was the perfect height. I was able to zip myself for the event but needed help other times so be prepared with a buddy! The dress stayed in place and was so comfortable all evening. Definitely recommend this dress!

Super comfortable and classy
I rented to wear to a baby shower. It is so soft; like pajamas! The pockets were amazing. I have long arms so I was able to zip / unzip myself but you may need a bathroom buddy! I got tons of compliments! I'm smaller on top so I went with the smaller size; the bottom is very flowy and loose. If you're small on top, size down.

Pattern is even prettier in person
This dress was so much prettier in person. The colors and details stand out so much more than on the screen. I rented this dress for a black tie optional wedding. I ended up not going because my son got covid but the rental experience was so easy! This dress is a bit on the stiff side. I probably could have worn an 8 in the other dress I ordered, but this one has no stretch so the 10 fit perfectly. I liked the one shoulder detail but felt a tad over powered by it. Definitely a pretty dress!

Beautiful dress with interesting details
I rented this dress to wear to a black tie optional wedding. I ultimately didn't end up going due to my son getting covid but the dress is lovely. It was soft and comfortable but form fitting and sexy. The zipper was a little tricky because the tag is enormous. I liked being able to wear a regular bra with it.
