Fun pattern
This dress fit extremely oddly. It was very tight in the bust but loosely in the waist but then very tight again in the hips. I have a proportional hourglass figure which made the reasoning behind the dress cut even more strange. The buttons gapped badly when I sat down. The dress did lay smoothly with the buttons when I was standing, but that was it. Even if I had sized up, then I think it would have been too big and not accentuated my waist.

Fun dress but pockets were odd
It was a nice dress to wear while walking around the city, although due to the lining and the fact that it's polyester, it does not breathe well. In addition, the pockets added volume to the hips which for some is not desirable (including me).

Would not have bought this is trying on in a store
The gathering around the tummy adds volume and is not the most flattering.

Red dress=red hot!
The torso area runs very large whereas the bust and hip run true to size. Therefore, although the medium fit my best much better (34D-DD depending on brand), the torso was too big and I ended up making due with the small. Loved the slit and the straps were just thick enough to accommodate a regular bra. Very happy with the dress!

Fun color, many compliments
The waist ran a little large and I ended up wearing the dress with a belt, but overall a great dress!

So many compliments. Great for girls with a tan.
There's a little issue with the bra peeking out out the sides but other than that I loved the dress. In person it doesn't quite appear as canary yellow but photographs very well.

Sour Lemonade Dress
Robert Rodriguez Collection

Usual Size: 10

Without being overtly revealing, I definitely felt very pretty!
The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the cap sleeve; it does no favors for women who are broad-shouldered like I am. Apart from that, the fit was great and I loved it! Perfect for NYE.

Hugged my curves like a glove.
For women with a larger bust, it certainly highlights that particular feature. Danced the night away without a worry.
