Bust was big and awkward compared to the rest of the dress
Body of the dress fit pretty nicely but did not end up wearing because I had another dress that fit better

Beautiful and comfortable
Perfect combo for a wedding - fabric had weight (might be too hot for a hot summer wedding) but very comfortable, form fitting but stretchy, got so many compliments.

Pretty but baggy
This dress fabric was so lovely but the body was so baggy around my mid-section, it felt like I was swimming it it. At the same time the bust didn't really fit my chest well because it was too small (though the bagginess made it so that I could fit in it, it just hung weirdly).

Nice material, runs small
This dress was a lovely color, very comfy material, and the ruffle was a fun detail. But I didn't love the fit - I found it to be on the small side (I usually wear a four but could have gone up to an 8). The 6 bust and hips were both a little tight and the material around the hips rode up a bit. Still, overall it was a nice date night dress, with more give than I expected after a big dinner. Would recommend but definitely size up 1-2 sizes!

Elegant and comfortable
This dress was classy and sophisticated, perfect for a winter work party with my husband's colleagues. The lace detail is beautiful with a slight shine to make it seem a little more formal, while the material is stretchy, soft, and super comfortable - not scratchy at all. The 4 fit me perfectly. Unfortunately had to do a mirror pic at home since we neglected to get any full-length shots at the party. But despite that, this was an amazing dress and I would consider buying it!

Formal wedding in the fall
This dress was perfect for a formal wedding in November. Length was on the long side - I wore a 4P and it was just barely off the floor with my 3-inch heels. I also found the bust to be a little loose - I have a small rib cage (32 bra band size) and I found myself adjusting and pulling up here and there, but not enough to cause major issues. Otherwise, the color was stunning and the material was incredibly soft and stretchy with a little bit of weight - I was very comfortable outside with a wrap on a sunny 50s day. Got lots of compliments!

Really bad fit - couldn't wear
Really bummed that this dress fit terribly and I couldn't wear it to a wedding. The hips of the 4 were super tight and uncomfortable while the bust was ok but slightly loose... on the 6, the hips were ok but the top was falling off because it was so incredibly loose, and the straps were so long. Had to improvise to find an alternative because this dress did not work for my frame.

Great fit, material, comfortable!
This dress was lovely. The fit was perfect, the material was extremely nice and high quality - dress was very well-made without being stiff or heavy. I was extremely comfortable all night - not a common experience for me when wearing a formal gown - and felt like a million bucks.
