Lauren Linen Dress

Listen to the reviews - this dress runs small! This is the second time I ordered and sized up. Linen dress, zero stretch. Smashed the breast down, even sized up I couldn’t fit a bra or bandeau so you just see them weirdly squeezed…..somehow it worked ;) It’s a literal tube, not a shape to be found, and walking is strange because just at the top of your stride it yanks you back. Again, DESPITE of all these issues, this dress is DELIGHTFUL. The colors, the stripes, the effortless vibes….its just a winning look!

Rented multiple times before giving in & buying. Only downside is there is no slit, so it noticeably limits your stride when walking. Quality fabric can be worn with a strapless bra or no bra. Love the muted colors and that it is such a versatile summer piece that can be dressed up or down. Looks great with the coordinating Staud striped sweater over it but I couldn’t bring myself to splurge on both pieces.

Dress her up or down! I loved this so much! Also major plus that it didn’t wrinkle!!!!! Perfection!

Was a little hesitant to rent this because of the mixed reviews. I’m between a medium and a large depending on the brand. Rented a large in this dress and the fit was perfect. Walking is a little “limited” by the length/lack of a slit but nothing crazy. I’m tall and the length was great. The drape is lovely (straight and loose enough but not shapeless) and the colors are great for summer. Loved this so much that I purchased!

I have a wider chest frame area 34/36 so I listened to reviews and sized up and was happy I did. Wore to work with a sweater, farmers market, beach. I wish there was a slit in the back for wider steps when walking but it’s so cute and I felt cute so I took shorter steps.

Loved this dress - wore it SO much during my rental period. It was perfect for vacation, but also threw it on a few times to go out to dinner. Received so many compliments every time I wore it! I will agree that it’s a TAD too long, so I had to lift it up while I walked so I wouldn’t trip.

I am pretty long and lean and it was a very straight and narrow fit, I can imagine if you have hips it could be snug. And also no slit so you can’t take long strides or steps. Was fine for a party with lots of standing but not ideal for lots of walking. Also fit large in the chest, but the adjustable straps helped. Great and easy dress!

This fit great, was comfortable, but there’s no slit so I couldn’t take full strides (I have long legs) without hiking the dress up. It’s not great for doing a lot of walking for that reason

The dress is very straight which makes taking steps difficult? Lol. The dress itself is very cute but don’t wear if the place you’re going to has a lot of stairs

Was so excited to finally snipe this rental! It was so cute but like the other reviews say, it was tight in the chest and booty. Also agrees that slits would make it more wearable. Otherwise cute!!

It’s so cute but it’s one of those dresses you can’t walk in because the dress opening is too narrow. That’s a no for me

So I am typically a xs/small. The small was way too small in my hips/butt and there is no give. I am not really sure the medium would even work because It was big in the waist area. I have a small chest so it fit my chest but if you have boobs …also size up.

Very comfortable fit. Can dress up or down.

Easy to wear and so comfortable! Was a little small in the bust but otherwise fit well.

This is a great summer dress, especially if you are small-chested. I rented this dress for an event, but wore it numerous times to elevate my everyday look. I received countless compliments on it. Walking fast in this dress is a little tricky, but I didn't mind holding the skirt.

Loved the fit, I find Staud runs small so I sized up. I'm a pear so the hips fit better in the larger size.

Surprised by how much i loved this. Wore for a garden party and it was perfect and flattering and comfortable. Will rent again

Really cute and comfortable summer dress for every day wear.

Loved this dress!! Great fit and got lots of compliments

a bit hard to walk in but soooo good!

But it works a belt to create a better shape

This dress is so cute! The bust is a little snug. And the bottom is narrow. But totally worth renting!

I like this one, but it is snug. Bra is tricky. Hips are ok for me, but chest it snug. I’m a small/medium and the medium fits, but tight in chest. Flattering and pretty.

I wanted to use this as a coverup but the material is very thick and the fit is odd. Tight around bust and kind of awkward. Had high hopes but kind of fell flat if my expectations

Other reviews are correct when they say this is a more narrow fit than expected. In the photos it looks like a trapeze or a-line dress but in reality it's more of a column.

Very comfortable and cute dress. It’s super forgiving as it’s loose and the linen hangs well. Only downside for me as someone who is 5’4” was the length of the dress. I had to wear platforms, and was still tripping over the dress a bit. It also doesn’t have a slit, so can get a little warm in the heat and you have to pick it up to go up stairs, so wouldn’t be great if you had to run around in it.

Didn’t wear - too small up top so didn’t have the flowy look - kind of narrow in body

I didn’t find this very flattering

cute but too tight on chest if large chested for size

This dress is beautiful and with the right fit a winner. Unfortunately, as others have said the top is a little snug. Too tight for a D. I found the waist to be good, but the fabric is unforgiving if you aren’t thin. Bottom is an issue because it doesn’t stretch at all and there is no slit. I usually wear a 6 and ordered a M. I should have ordered a L.

Size up for this. Very pretty though.

I’ve worn other Staud clothes in size large but this one is tight on the hips so it doesn’t hang correctly. I won’t bother re-renting in a larger size.
