This dress is HUGE
I normally wear a 10/12 so when the XLR said it was a US10, I thought it would be great. However, I could have fit 3 of me in this dress. It runs huge!!! Very cute but I'd go for the medium next time. Size way down!

Lovely!
This dress is very comfortable and very flattering. The print is fantastic and perfect for the warmer weather ahead. It's a bit short and extra cinched in the back do to some elastic so you can't just tie it to your liking. That doesn't bother me though! Will be keeping this one in the closet for awhile!

Loved this dress
So obsessed with this dress that I bought it at Nordstrom!! Super flattering and comfortable! I have a large chest so when I can wear a V neck that is appropriate and flattering, it is a game changer!

Funny fit
Loved the idea of this sweater but the fit was tricky. It didn't stay down so I wore it like a boat neck. The top lines fell in an unflattering way when trying to wear it off the shoulder, like It was too much material in the top half of the sweater

Cute
A cute top that is not too short if tied correctly. I have a large chest and this V neck was actually totally wearable!!! The straps were a bit wrinkled, but worked well. Was really nice for the heat wave!

Heavy for summer
Pretty dress but heavy for a warm summer day/evening. Came very wrinkled and you'll need to steam/iron/let hang well before wearing. Otherwise a nice and simple piece.

Much brighter in person
The fit was great, I couldn't tell a big difference between the 12 and 14, I wore the 14 because I knew Id be moving around a lot and wanted to be comfy! Was great for the winter season because of the sleeves, but was very bright!

Not for big chested girls!
I had ordered this for Christmas eve (very late to the review party) Sadly, although a very pretty dress, it is not for big chested girls. The dress fit fine even though the waist hit a bit higher than on the model. However, because of this, it looked as though the entire half of the dress was just covering the chest. Not flattering, made me look as if I had 36GG instead of 36D!! I would have loved to wear it, but good lesson to learn for the future. Can't do this style with limited lining on top!

Seam right down the front!
I had rented this for Christmas (just getting around to all my reviews) and I did not wear this dress. I wanted to LOVE it, but was so surprised by this dress. I have many KSNY dresses and this fit was so bizarre that I thought the dress was defective. I normally wear a 10/12 and the 14 barely zipped. It was extremely tight in the chest and ribs. Not to mention there is a seam down the ENTIRE front of the dress, I have no idea why Kate Sapde would have done that. RTR was great, gave me a credit, not their fault the designer messed this one up! It's too bad because it could be such a pretty party dress! I gave it one star because the sequins are amazing, all different shapes and sizes so it is a much more expensive and luxurious sequin design than most dresses out there.

Pretty!
RTR was amazing and sent this to me as a last minute backup because my other rentals smaller size was broken. The dress is so pretty and flattering. It had a very Amal Clooney vibe to it. The 10 fit, a bit tight up top, but looked fine. I would have worn this, but had my heart set on wearing some statement jewelry, so I needed a plan front. Would rent this for an event again in a second though!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
This may be my favorite dress ever! It runs a bit big, I got both the 10 and 12. The zipper on the 10 was broken and unfortunately there wasn't another available. I wore the 12 because I loved the dress and had planned my jewelry and everything around it. It was a bit lose, but still looked great I think! Very comfortable and fun. I would buy this dress if I could, it is the perfect LBD for someone in their 20s - simple, yet not boring at all!

Fun for a birthday celebration
It is a fun and comfortable dress. I own a few Nanette Lepore dresses, this was ran a bit smaller than the others, sized up mainly for comfort!

So much fun!
Such a fun dress! I ordered both the 12 and 14 because I never know how strapless will fit. I have a large bust, 36 DD, so I was a little nervous but wanted to try. I am usually a 10/12. The 12 was great, fit perfectly in the waist but was big in the top!! I had to wear my padded strapless bra so it would stay up better, yet it still fell down a bit throughout the night! I'm not sure how the other sizes are but this is definitely a great strapless option for girls with larger chests, not sure how it would work if you couldn't fill it out, may be tricky to keep it up! The 14 was defective, something with the lining, it was about 5 inches smaller in the chest than the 12!! RTR was amazing and overnighted me another style dress of my choice for no charge just to be safe. Couldn't have been more impressed with my first rental! Looking forward to all the holiday dresses I have coming!!
