Chest Area Runs Small
So I love this dress, but the breast area seemed particularly small. I run into this a lot, but this seemed more than most. I included a photo of the inside of the dress so you can see what I mean. The band hit half way down my titties so it just didn’t work. I had already sized up per other reviewers and it was a bit loose on the waist so sizing up again isn’t an option. But- it’s a great dress so it’s totally worth a try especially if you don’t think the breast area will be a problem for you!

Not Much Stretch or Shape
This had a ton of extra room, so I found it a little shapeless. I’m going to try and size down, as I’m normally a 6-8 or medium, but I don’t really have enough room for the breast area to get much tighter so I suspect this one just won’t work for me in a fitted way.

Mesh Back Isn’t Flattering
This is just okay to me… the front was adorable, and I loved the print. But the back was just not flattering at all. I thought it was oddly square and masculine in its appearance for my taste. I personally didn’t wear it.

Didn't Love It
So this is a perfectly fine top, but it just didn't do anything for me. 1- the little slit in the front didn't hold up, and it ended up with the corners falling down like flaps, making almost more of a sweetheart neckline. For me it ended up showing a lot more cleavage than I wanted to show for where we were. 2- the shoulders were loose and needed to be pinned to my bra straps to stay on. 3- You absolutely must have someone available to clip the hook and eye on the top or you will be unraveling in public, not that I know anything about that. I was in Europe with my husband and I got dressed to meet him at a restaurant... and it unzipped on me while sitting there. He was able to get the hook and eye for me at that point, but I was ready to be out of the shirt at that point. 4- it's doesn't really go in enough from the breasts to the waist, so I felt like it added weight to me... but I also have a pretty big difference from my breasts to my waist so this is a common thing I experience and may not be the same experience for someone else.

Not Great For Larger Breasts
So I'll start by saying I LOVE this top... it just didn't fit my chest well. I ended up with smooshed breasts popping out the top. (2nd photo) Which is a look, just not my desired look. I wore it anyway, but mostly because we were in Europe and it was cold so I knew I'd have my coat on most of the time and would only need to watch myself when we stopped to eat. As predicted, I was adjusting a lot when my coat was off and I was kind of glad to get it off at the end of the day. I'm ordering a size up to see if it works better, but the waist and shoulders were perfect on this one so I think I'd have to buy it and get it tailored if I sized up, but if it fits better I might do so because it is really adorable.

I Wanted To Love This Dress
I really wanted to love this dress and I only liked it. It's heavy and has a solid presence, doesn't need any adjusting through the night. It's definitely cute on, and the colors make a statement. For me I felt like it wasn't tight enough in the midsection for it to really flatter me. It was kind of straight so the stomach area went out from my body more than it needed to as it dropped from the bust line. I would have sized down, but there is no way the breasts and shoulders would fit if I did. All that said, I tend to wear things tight around the waist so for someone else not as accustomed to that, it might be that wow dress.

Cute Enough
This one is cute enough on. I kept it because I haven't had a chance to wear it yet. It's not one of those dresses that WOW, but it's cute and I'll still wear it. I don't think i'll buy it just because it wasn't particularly notable for me.... but I liked it.

Lovely Fabric, Cute Fit
This dress was very cute on, I liked the thick fabric and the color/design was beautiful. I did need a strapless bra, and the outfit stayed in place fine. it has enough stretch to be comfortable.

Size up if you have larger breasts
I love this top, but I had wear a cami under it because it wasn't even close to closing over my chest in my normal size. I wore it like that and loved it, but I'm trying a large next to see if it fits better. That said, I love it enough I plan to buy this shirt even if the large ends up too big. I didn't really mind the medium with the cami if that's what works best. It's super cute and super comfortable.
