SO cute

This dress is it. Thick knit, cut perfectly so I didn’t need a bra. Ribbing is super flattering - loved it.

Tight around bust/ back

Very cute, fun dress. Slightly tight and hard to get over rib cage/ back. Not the most comfortable material. I did really like to look of the dress though.

Perfect anniversary dress

I loved this! I wore it one time for my 10th anniversary. It loosened up a little on top over the night, my only complaint and was a little tight in the mid section.

Comfy pretty dress

The top was nice and tight that I didn’t have to wear a bra. Not sure if I woulda had the space to wear a bra. The waist was perfect and loved the A line skirt

Super cute, squishes boobs and stretches out

Pretty much what the title says — I ended up wearing a bra with it, which was a bit difficult with the neckline, but needed otherwise I would have had negative chest

Very flattering

I love these dresses by Staud and didn’t have to wear a bra with it! Could’ve even sized down for extra support

Cute skirt, but not super forgiving

I'd recommend some type of shapewear shorts underneath, or just being very accepting of your body. The mid-section is not super forgiving. It's not a write-off though. I paired it with a Farm Rio cardigan sweater that also had accents of blue, and it turned out to be very cute.

Super cute but runs small in the boob area (and I have small boobs). Also small in the rib cage.

A little Long

I'm 5'4 and found it was slightly longer than I'd hope. Otherwise GREAT dress, I think I like the longer version better IMO
