May want to size up for more coverage
This dress was so cute, and I tried it on in store in a large (I usually wear a S in Free People) and loved it. The wrap shape was cute and flirty, but I still felt it would be appropriate enough for my boyfriend's family wedding weekend. The girl in store convinced me to order a small since that's my normal size, but I found it way too small and never wore. A medium or large probably would have been perfect.

Best for straight and narrow shapes!
I was so hopeful about this dress for a wedding, but it just did not work on my shape. The top was a little wide around the neckline and comfortable on the waist, but a bit too tight around my chest and butt, which really took away from the cutout effect. Would probably fit best on straight and narrow body types.

Flowy, comfortable, but short!
I'm fairly short and this dress is definitely loose and flowy, but to make it not look like a tent, it was a bit on the short side. I was also a bit surprised at how low the neckline fell, but for a birthday dinner with friends, it was cute and comfortable.

Rose Floral Cold Shoulder Dress

flattering, comfortable, and on-trend
I loved the material of this dress-- had just the right amount of stretch and hold to be comfortable all night but still look amazing. The embroidered flowers are beautiful and make a statement on their own, and the wrap front shows some leg too.

wore to Charity Gala
I ordered a S and XS, but ended up wearing the XS-- the fabric had just enough give that the dress was very comfortable throughout the night, but kept its sleek shape and didn't look (or feel) like I was squeezing into it. I'm a bit short/petite, but the off the shoulder, crossed top, and side slit are all very flattering but the dress is longer and has enough coverage to feel formal. It would definitely look less dressy on someone taller, and the middle cutout could be an issue for a larger bust (I wore a sticky bra with no padding). Would definitely rent this dress again!

flattering and fun!
I wore this for my 21st birthday in Atlantic City and was extremely satisfied with my choice. I was conflicted because my waist is much smaller than my bust and hips, but I ordered sizes on the larger side (4 and 6) due to past reviews. I probably could have sized down to a 2 but it would have been a little tighter/shorter in the bottom half and I probably would have had to wear a sticky bra (in the 4 I could get away with a strapless). I also safety pinned right under the bust, which helped the top lay better. Even in a 4, the fit was flattering and and still looked great with tall wedges. It's very well made, the material is lined, and I wasn't concerned about anything slipping or tugging all night. Overall I felt great in the romper and it was super cute and fun for a night out!
