Beth Dutton would wear this
Wore 2x - once with boots for a western chic vibe and again on Mother’s Day with kitten heels. It’s form fitting throughout bodice giving excellent shape to body. Top 2 buttons can be undone, the rest are sewn-on (can’t adjust skirt portion) Sandro can run large but this fit TTS IMO. Absolutely loved - felt like a million bucks.

Would’ve preferred with higher waist jeans due to the very cropped fit but super cute overall. Fantastic high quality material and so unique. The flower is definitely large and in charge. Compliments from men and women alike.

Wore for quick golf outing followed by lunch with the fam. Crazy cute on the course dressed down with my golf shoes. Held everything I needed - phone, small wallet, gloss, compact, keys. Added fun pop of color and felt very Spring.

Felt 10/10
Metallic threading throughout gives subtle silver sparkle throughout. It hugs in all the right places snatching the body. Wore to gala we attend annually and felt 10/10 this year. It reads expensive and chic without trying. Could be dressed down with boots for an elevated casual vibe. More on the heavyweight end which was perfect for the chilly evening event in late winter. Wouldn’t recommend for warmer weather months especially with the turtleneck. Loved loved this one

Requires Rib Removal - A Helpful Review
Wore AU 8 = US 4 L’IDEE typically runs smalls in the chest - no exception here. Tragic bc this dress is stunning I’m a 32 bust around couldn’t even get it zipped up past halfway. If you were to size up so it fit in the chest it’d be too big on the bottom, especially with this particular flowy design. The pleating, colors, corset boning... all amazing but the fit ruins the whole thing. The “too big bottom to fit the top” scenario could *potentially* work if you’re ok with dragging around a shit-ton of heavy (but gorgeous) fabric pooled from the bust down

It's a coverup
Had high hopes due to rave reviews but found it just ok. Bust line is a little hard to work with - would be best paired with triangle swim/bikini top IMO

Beautiful Boho Vibes
Loved this! Perfect for causal evening vacation look- I wore for walking around an art fair followed by upscale dinner in downtown Cabo. Traveled perfectly. Very low neckline so be prepared to show some cleavage - terrible pic of dress itself but gives idea of what we're working with/ Great TTS fit overall and very figure flattering. Wish I could buy to keep as an easy go-to warm weather staple

Big fan of Rachel Antonoff! Her designs are fresh, fun, and unique and this mini was no exception. Dress is lightweight with sheer sleeves, short & sexy. The print is darling with vibrant colors and could be worn year round and to anything IMO

Fell Short (literally)
Wore to BSB in Vegas - perfect in theory. The sparkle and shine are spot on and the overlay on muted plaid is darling. Loved that part! Fit however is tight, super short, and quite stiff overall. 4/10 for comfort - not ideal for bopping around (or in and out of cabs) on the LV strip.

LoveShack does sequins right
Never have I ever worn sequins done so well. Dress laid flat and smooth all evening, zero irritation from material. Wearing IRL: Comfortable with exception of straps - they’re thread thin and started to dig into my shoulders some throughout the night. Bodice is tighter from hips down - be prepared to take smaller steps when walking lol but worth it Came new w tags - imagine sequins won’t stay to perfection for long so grab this one while she’s still fresh

Fall date night
Sized down based on previous reviews - XS fit great with stretch to spare. Super lightweight and bouncy with a print made for Fall. I sat with the hem pulled up to expose boots and some leg during cocktails and dinner to keep it feeling fresh and not so matronly.

More beautiful in person - gold has hints of shimmer metallic. Body con perfection. Will show off your curves snatching from head to toe without the need for Spanx. Tad scratchy when pulling on but no complaints rest of the evening - compliments galore.

Stretchy Spring Vibes
Easy pull on with back zipper, lots of stretch and fun bouncy hem and bell sleeves. Wore to dinner and paired with Jordans for a casual fit. For reference currently 127lbs and S fit perfectly - more form fitting through bust with breathing room in waist. Arrived new w tags, always a bonus! Think colors may fade with wear but rn she’s perfect fresh Spring fit. Medium weight material would work year round weather IMO

Classy, sexy, cool - practically TLC in a dress
Currently 126lbs and wore the 4. It fit perfectly. Wanted snug fit across the bust after reviewing other pics and 4 did the trick without being too short. You cinch at waist with tie belt. Leather is buttery soft. Would buy if it weren't so spendy!

Statement Sleeves
Wore to charity gala - would be over the top to a more casual event IMO. I'm currently 128lbs and size 8 felt small in the chest. No back clasp at the top so found myself constantly making sure zip was secure. All about the sleeves which, were fabulous but restricting and somewhat awkward when trying to hug friends.

Scuba material with stretch for days. Dance move approved! Pull on style, no zippers, low cut chest (I wore a strapless for extra lift). Cut with extra fabric in the hips so proper fit was key - had to order a 2nd time for the smallest size to get form/bodycon fit.

Pretty in (mostly) pleats.
Size 6 was small, even worn high waisted. I had to unzip it to comfortably sit through a long training session at work. But, still very pretty. Super versatile. Only note is that this number appears to have been in rotation for awhile... like, a long while. Half the skirt had been laundered/pressed so much that only a small portion had any pleating left. Same issue w the size 8 (arrived too late to wear).
