Beautiful color and fit, with a fun bow in the back. A little short, so maybe consider tights!

The shape and fit and bow are perfect! Rent this one!

Fits so well and so cute and flattering!! Love the bow in the back❤️

Would’ve been perfect for a holiday party. Looks super cute with hair up 

Love this dress. Comfy and the material is thick and does not wrinkle. Wish I could keep

Great dress. Lots of compliments!  Wore to black tie event. 

We rented this dress for a valentine’s photo shoot for my daughter, but it was rained out. She wore it to her theater production opening instead (and out to dinner after) and it was perfect. 

I am a true 8 and so got a M & L-- ended up going w the medium bc I am 5'3 and it was a good bit shorter. However I couldn't move my arms much & so in that regard a L would've been better. Is it the ideal party/ dancing dress? No. Is it ideal holiday dress for eating a bunch/ being w family/ work holiday party? Absolutely. The material is really structured. I'd say order TTS but beware of tight arms. IMO, staud runs small. Wish I could buy this one! 100% worth it

Love this dress! The material is stiff so I wasn’t able to fully lift my arms (and when I tried, the whole dress rides up and is shockingly short). Great for a party that doesn’t include dancing. The high collar neck holds its shape throughout the night.

Super cute. Fit well. Very tight on the arms however. Wore for a football game

This dress was adorable but I am glad I ordered both the small and medium because the small was very tight in the shoulders. Very cute dress for a holiday party.

I’m 5’10” and this dress was probably inappropriately short, but I wore it anyway. The large was a wee bit tight in the bust (I’m a 36DD), but the XL was HUGE - a huge jump up in size from the large. 

As someone who usually wears black, this was a BIG change. The comments about the arms being tight are correct and it’s pretty short so I stood most of the time.

Also though, POCKETS!

Loved this dress! The bow is so precious. The dress is not form fitting at all and material is thick. I would have preferred it to be a little smaller because it did not show my figure at all, but overall I thought it was so pretty! Would be ideal for a holiday party if going for the classic look! 

Listen, I know what you're thinking. You're reading all these reviews and thinking, "Hm. Seems like people are being dramatic. Maybe they just have broader shoulders than average." NO. I have relatively narrow shoulders, and it was still a terrible fit on me. The picture shows me lifting my arms as far as they could go. It's not even entirely the shoulder width, it's something about the way the sleeves are attached combined with a too-small bust allowance combined with a non-stretch fabric? I'm not sure that this dress was constructed properly, but maybe if you size up a couple sizes it could work. I don't know. It's a very pretty true red color and nice fabric, so I really wish it had worked! But omg! My shoulder-to-shoulder measurement (across the back) is 17.5" and my upper arm circumference is 11". Good luck out there.

This dress is very cute and the color is fun, but definitely runs short. No raising arms in this dress, but otherwise I loved it! 

i’m normally an XS, but after reading the reviews i decided to size up to a small and am SO happy i did. it is tighter on tbr shoulders and is very short, even when I sized up! but was so cute and comfortable and has POCKETS
