Really awful fit
I normally share pictures but this was too embarrassing. The waste line has ruching that could only be flattering if you are a size 0 childless athletic build. I've had 2 kids and while I'm in pretty good shape size 6, this made me look 6 months pregnant. It is also very long- I'm 5.5 and it reaches my ankles :/

Really, really small
I know all the other reviewers warned me. But the app suggested the MR size based on all their "science" and convinced me :/ so so so small I can't zip it up. For context I'm a size 6, 5.5 and I'd normally wear a medium in a dress/jumpsuit. Sorry no pictures... it was a hot mess.

It photographs well... but really poorly thought out
This is a really cute romper. BUT: 1) the only way to get in and out is to go through a million tiny buttons (think classic wedding dress back buttons) in the front and 2) it bulges up in the stomach area, which is not flattering. It'd look much better on me if I could wear Spanx... but imagine having to pee and going through a thousand mini buttons, then spanx... forget it. I'd say it does photograph well... so if you just want a cute instagram picture, you have a winner ;-)

Great dress
I was in a rush so I picked this dress up from the store, where my size wasn't available. It runs large and you'll need a sticky bra as the back is completely open. I normally wear size 6 and I would have needed a 4 or even a 2. I'm wearing a size 0 in this picture- and it was a very tight squeeze in there! The shape, cut and fabric are beautiful though.

Loved it
I was visiting NY so I stopped by the flagship store instead of packing. I loved this dress but it was only available in XS size. I normally wear Medium or size 8, and this fits really nice, so beware that it may run a bit on the large side. I'm keeping it for a few weeks!

Nice fitting dress
I picked this dress while traveling in NY from the flagship store. It's probably not a dress I would have selected, but given what was available the day I visited, I ended up with it. The fabric is thick and the shape is quite flattering (post-partum bod here!)
Evolve Midi Dress

Not flattering to me
Wrap dress, had trouble closing it without my boobs spilling all over :/ I found it too open in the chest and not very flattering on the stomach area. For context, I wear 36B bra.

Love it!! May need to buy it
I'd never thought I could pull off a romper 5 months post partum with my second... this thing is so well designed, it just fits great. I don't want to return it! I may need to buy it or rent it for the whole summer :)
