Perfect for a wedding

Loved this dress, awesome for an hour glass figure, so comfortable, good to travel with, and received compliments all night. I'm petite with curves on my trunk and chest, and it hugged all the right spots. Wore this to a wedding in the UK and was a huge hit!! Debating purchasing!

Great spring/summer dress

I loved this dress as all the other reviews said, the fit is flattering, it's not skin tight so comfortable enough to wear throughout the day. The neck part was a little off as mentioned in other reviews, but it didn't take away from the dress. So many compliments!

Boyfriend loved the dress and I felt really pretty at the wedding!

I thought the size 4 would be fine but it was a little large in the bust and I am not small busted. Wore the size 2 instead and it fit great. The length was just right and was able to wear a strapless bra comfortably. The dress was very comfortable for dancing at the reception.

Unique dress

This dress was really a joy to wear. It was comfortable and the well made. The fabric was really interesting with bright blue and pink colors and beautiful bird embroidery. Interesting neckline made this a fun dress to wear. I would suggest a backless bra or corset as the cutout in back is quite low. My strapless bra showed so I chose to go bra-less, which was fine as the fabric is thick enough, but the sides gaped a little without the padding. Wore it with nude heels and really loved how it looked. Perfect for a daytime wedding ceremony.

I usually wear a 12 and sometimes 14. I'm glad I read other reviews to help me pick out the size 10. I picked this out just for fun, and I'm glad I did.

Amazing dress for Colorado wedding!

This dress fit perfectly. There was plenty of room in the chest which is what I was worried about. I ordered the 8 and 10 and ended up wearing the 8, it fit like a glove.

Stylist Review

A unique cut and design to this dress! This colorful dress runs true to size. I would go one size up for the backup as there is no stretch to this fabric. There is comfortable room at the bust so this dress is great for any cup size. A strapless bra needs to be worn because of the cut on this dress. It is fitted at the natural waist but there is a decent amount of room in the hips. Due to the high neck, I would not wear a necklace with this dress. Instead, I would pair it with a nice pair of diamond earrings and a bracelet to match.

Unique dress

I wore this dress to a beach-side wedding in October. It's a really beautiful dress and very flattering - not too fitted in stomach or hips. As, others have said, the top is pretty large, even with the 0. I made it work by wearing a backless adhesive bra to help fill it out, but there was still extra room in the torso. I'm smaller on top than bottom, so this dress would probably work better on an hourglass or more top-heavy frame.

Wore this to a spring wedding and it was a great choice. The color is lovely for the season, and the fit is flattering without being too fitted—it smooths over curves nicely. Very comfortable, and I got several compliments throughout the day.

True to size

I needed my usual size 4 but it was unavailable due to someone returning it late. However the 6 did work just a little roomier than I’m used to. So it’s great that you could order your size or up and it still works. I couldn’t be happier with the dress, compliments galore. Perfect for an outdoor summer wedding.

These COLORS though!

Wore this to a late summer wedding reception. The deep, bright blue is a perfect contrast for the pink applique flowers. I was a little worried that the lace might look flimsy but it didn't and in fact it looked elegant and well-made. I got SOooooo many compliments. I was about to mark that it runs slightly too large because it does, except the arms/halter area. To be safe, go with your regular size. I paired with pink open-toed kitten heels...and I was this close to buying it because it's just so beautiful in person. DO rent it!!

Great dress for springtime wedding

This dress is definitely a stand out! I maybe could have sized down but the dress was so flattering it wasn’t obvious that it was a little roomy. I used Hollywood tape to stick it to my bra so it wouldn’t show. Got tons of compliments and wore it all day comfortably!

Top was a bit large but otherwise spectacular. Was a bit breezy so I paired it with a beautiful pash

I wish I had a better photo...sorry. the color is beautiful and the neckline is stunning. Better with a strapless bra.

I felt amazing in this dress and got compliments all evening! Sized up because my regular size wasn't available. I did have to wear a strapless bra to make up for the larger bodice, but it was fine. Would have been nice to go bra-less in my regular size.

Wonderful details for a spring wedding!

I'm usually a solid 6 and wore an 8, so runs slightly small. Great lace detail with a lining and can wear a strapless bra. The lace around the neck can irritate a bit after a long evening. Should be fine with moisturizing beforehand.

Tons of compliments on this dress!

I ended up buying this dress because I needed it longer than the time allowed. I did get it altered by having the back shorted a bit so that it covered a strapless bra. Other comments about it not having any give were true; and I probably should have sized down to an 8 for a bit better fit in the bust. As for a wrap, I didn't want to go too matchy-matchy with the pink or try and find something in the same blue, so went tonal. Pashmina and fascinator both from Amazon. Shoes are Chinese Laundry from Nordstrom.

Loved this dress so much, the only downside is that the neckline caused a little chaffing by the end of the night but I loved wearing it so much I didn't mind.
