Stripey Cardigan With Denim Details

Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 130lbs
Bust: 34B
Thick Sweater Dress
Classic, professional work dress, slightly itchy so be aware if you’re sensitive to textures. The arms ran a little tight but the a-line skirt is very forgiving for the lower half.

Stiff material
This dress fits exactly as it looks but the cotton material was stiff, which meant the shoulders and layers didn't hang nicely, even after steaming. Not my fave.

Has built in padding!
This dress was exactly what it looks like, but the built in padding/in the chest was a surprise! Since I don't need much support, I was able to wear without a bra!

Just okay
This dress was just meh for me. The puffy sleeves and full skirt just weren't particularly flattering. The material was thin and all the trim was so scrunched it was impossible to smooth out, even with a steamer.

This was a very basic looking bag, which is fine but it didn't look as quality as I was expecting for the brand.

There was nothing exceptional about this dress, but it was a solid choice for a work dinner. The cotton material was slightly more casual than I was expecting.

Loved the crop fit of this cardigan with high waisted jeans. I got compliments galore every time I wore it. The knit is great and the colors are so vibrant. It just looks expensive.

I wore this to a conference and was pleasantly surprised with the length. I'm 5'6" and even in heels, this was almost knee length, so very work appropriate. I felt professional and polished.

So forgiving & flattering
This is my second time renting this dress. It's perfect for an evening out, not too casual or too dressy. It has lots of stretch and you can wear a regular bra which is always nice. The material is woven so it's cool in warmer weather too.

Beautiful dress - runs small and short
Rented this dress for a Roaring 20’s themed holiday party. It fit the vibe perfectly without looking like a costume. I forgot that Milly always runs really small. I was barely able to get my backup size (6) on! Definitely size up.

Classic Lily Pulitzer
Great dress, true to size, long enough to wear to a work event without being overly sexy. One drawback is that the cotton has no stretch so as you wear it, the butt and hips get a little stretched out.

Very short!
I sized up to a 6 in hopes it would offer more length but no such luck. The dress is a beautiful material and the style is very classy but if you're over 5'5", know you'll be showing a lot of leg. I added a blouse underneath to increase the professionalism.

Very classy & unique
Very forgiving rental in terms of size - I think I could have worn a 2, maybe even a 0 as well and the 4 still looks good too. The waist is elastic and the blousy top could accommodate a much larger bust. The ombré skirt is really special and it moves beautifully. I think it would work equally well for formal and casual events.

Tight through arms/shoulders and bust
This jacket is a nice material and I like the color. I won't be buttoning it, so this size works but it definitely runs small through the arms/shoulders/bust.

Fitted but stretchy
I normally wear a 2 or 4 and the small in this was pretty tight through the butt for me. I'm hoping it stretches out a bit as I sit because it's very clingy for a work event. Love the look and the stretch makes it comfortable. Arm holes are big enough to be comfortable but not so big that your bra shows.

Felt beautiful and classy!
I am 5'6" and usually wear a 2/4 in retail stores like J. Crew or Banana Republic. This 6 fit like a 2 at one of those shops. Boden in general runs small and this dress has no stretch to be forgiving. It's a beautiful, professional dress but the wool material is slightly itchy, even with the lining.

Was just "meh"
Nothing wrong with this dress but between the extra volume in the top, the tea length, and the color, it just didn't check any boxes for me, so I returned without wearing. It's a sweater material so definitely appropriate for cooler weather.

Too form fitting for work
I am consistently a 2-4 and the small in this dress was inappropriately tight for work. I swapped for a medium and that's still questionable. Both are challenging to get on and off because the shoulders/arms have so little give and I don't have broad shoulders. The material is thick so it's forgiving but it's definitely a bodycon style.

So many compliments but not very comfortable...
I am small buated and slightly pear shaped and this dress was loose on top and tight on the bottom. I wore the XS because the skirt felt equally tight in the S but the top was way too big. I think having a larger bust would have helped to fill out the top more but since its backless, I didnt have many options. The skirt was very tight with no stretch and twisted quite a bit as I moved, meaning lots of adjustment throughout the night. I would have been most comfortable in a M on the bottom and a XS on top. Overall, the dress was beautiful but the sizing was off for my body type. If your bust and hips are equally sized this dress might be a good fit. I would size up for your backup.

I got so many compliments and I felt absolutely beautiful!
I was concerned about trying to find a dress while I was 5 months pregnant, trying to figure out my size, etc. My company holiday party theme was the Great Gatsby and this dress fit the bill perfectly. The long sleeves, neck line and center pleats really added to the 20's feel. It was a loose fit so I had plenty of room for my belly as well. I did wear a slip underneath because it felt a little sheer.

Unique in a sea of black dresses - sexy but not over the top
Wore this dress for a bachelorette party in Las Vegas. The dress was perfect because it was fitted and sexy, but not too short or too low cut. The pattern is beautiful and hides any little lumps or bumps you might have. I usually wear a 4 in dresses and chose to wear the medium in this dress, so I'd say order a size up for your backup. The material is quite thick which makes it forgiving, but also difficult to get on and off! It really holds you in tight and smooths everything out - no Spanx needed!

Sad because I didn't get to wear either of the dresses I ordered. :(
I usually wear a 2 in dresses, sometimes a 4 if the style is more fitted. Unfortunately, neither the 2 nor the 4 fit in this style. It's very narrow through the hips.

Perfect dress - not too short!
Don't be fooled based on the model photo - I'm 5'6" and wore the size 4, it wasn't nearly as short on an "average" height person. I received so many compliments on this dress, it really is beautiful and classy. I ordered the 2 and 4, but ended up wearing the 4 as it fit better through the shoulders and bust and gave me just a bit more length.
