Probably better suited for women that are taller than 5'1
Bunches up a lot around the middle, feels like there's an excess of fabric on my 5'1 frame. It's very thin and light, easy to put on, definitely has a 'wow' factor. My measurements (inches): bust 37, waist 28, hip 41

Pretty stunning - not sure about the sleeve
This fit my dimensions surprisingly well. Not sure I like the sleeve but the colour is spectacular. Feels nice, feels light to wear. I usually wear a 4, and this 4R fit well. My measurements (inches): bust 37, waist 28, hip 41

Stretchy, light, easy to wear - but I should have gotten the S
Compared to a bunch of other dresses I rented, I love how the Fuzzi dress is extremely lightweight and stretchy. Also love the dark floral print. Feels nice, looks nice. Two criticisms of the garment: the gathered fabric around the neck needs to be cut off. It's too much (I folded down the neck in my photos). Dress would look better with a boatneck cut. Also, the bottom of the dress needs to be tighter so it cinches in around the knees (or maybe I should have rented the size S instead of the M). My measurements (inches): bust 37, waist 28, hip 41

Mostly well made, but not my style
I thought the dress is held up by little bows on the shoulders, but they're tiny strips of fabric you need to tie yourself, and there's not much fabric to tie them into bows with. Weird. Other than that, the fabric is thick and smooth, almost scuba style, so it sits with a consistent silhouette, and the A-line skirt is very pretty. Just not my style.

Size up
I'm usually a 4, got a 6 in this and I think the fit was right. But I just ended up not liking it. Also I think it doesn't look great that the lining across the bust is visible on the outside of the dress. My measurements (inches): bust 37, waist 28, hip 41

Well made gown
It's well made, I like the boning in the bodice and it's well assembled so that it can keep you inside of it, even with the presentation of the chest. However, it's not cut for my proportions, and was tight across the hip, and a bit boxy. My measurements (inches): bust 37, waist 28, hip 41

Another difficult fit
Probably should have gone for a petite in this, but then I'm doubtful it would have fitted me well in the body. I'm 5'1 and even in stilettos this was dragging on the floor. Also, not flattering at the line just below the hip. I did like the top of the dress though with the one sleeve twisting around the neck, that looked great.

Fabric is too stiff and bunches across the hips (assuming you have wider hips)
Meh. It's a lovely, elegant looking sheath and mostly fit, but as is often the case, my waist-to-hip-ratio does not fit with this dress, and it crinkled and bunched way too much across the hip.

Not cut for hourglass body
Looks really glamorous and I like how delicate the black strings across the shoulders and back are. However, it's yet another dress not cut for my proportions. Challenging to put on with the criss-cross strings across the back. Dress gaped way too much around my chest, but too tight across my hips. My measurements (inches): bust 37, waist 28, hip 41

Didn't suit me
Fabric felt nice and it looks pretty on the rack, but not my style. Fit was almost right, but the dress is not cut for shapes with big hips. Dress was too tight around my hips, felt like it might get damaged if I sat down. My measurements (inches): bust 37, waist 28, hip 41

Too voluminous for short women
Too much skirt, a lot of fabric plus an overwhelming pattern. I prefer a mid skirt that's at calf length. Too long and too big for my short frame. Also, a bit too big in the waistline - I ordered a size 4, and it was loose on my 29 inch waist.

Dress is not cut for curves
Not great for a short woman with big hips. Fit me in most places, but too tight in the hip (I am 37 bust 29 waist 41 hip). It did zip up but it felt like if I sat down the garment was at risk, as there's no give in the fabric. There's a LOT of ruffles, very busy on my figure. I did not wear it.

Beautiful fabric and structure, but not sure it's my style
Big pouf is big. Garment fits me well and is nicely lined and assembled, very professionally put together. I like the concept of the garment but in practice, I'm not sure it's "me". It it a firm fit so I wouldn't recommend wearing this to anything where you plan to eat a lot :) My measurements: 37 bust 29 waist 41 hip

Could probably stand to size up to get a more "skimming" look
Garment is nicely stretchy. LOVE the structure in the bodice, very well made. However, the fabric bunches up a lot around my torso, so it might be a better fit on someone a bit taller than 5'1, or I should just size up so it "skims" the body in a more high fashion kind of way. My measurements: 37 bust 29 waist 41 hip

It's divine, it just did not suit my look
What struck me when I put this on was how light, smooth and cool the fabric is. Very high-end garment, feels beautiful. I do like the pattern and the cut on other people, but on me, I thought it was just WAY too much. Far too busy a pattern for big-busted body, in my opinion. I didn't wear it out and am going to swap it. My measurements: 37 bust 29 waist 41 hip
