Phare Mini Dress

It was a little tough to zip up where all the ruching is—I was scared the zipper would break but it was just getting stuck. The dress gets quite short when sitting but it didn’t bother me too much. The fit and fabric felt great once the dress was zipped up.

Loved this dress! It was flattering across the mid section and comfortable to enjoy my dinner. It is short so if legs aren't your thing, I would not recommend. The off the shoulder would be challenging if I was out dancing or needed to raise my arms a ton but did not bother me sitting through dinner.

Other reviews indicated the dress ran small so I sized up two sizes and it fit perfectly! Not too short for a fun party dress

Wore in vacation and a great date night . The off the shoulder hit perfectly and everything else fit perfectly but there is no stretch. Highly suggest!

I love this dress, and I'm happy I sized up!

It runs small but really cute! I wish it wasn't as tight but I was able to still wear it to date night.

As a 5'2-3 person I wish it was like an inch shorter to be a true mini dress, felt like I kept bunching it up to look better

The length and fit was perfect! Super cute for darties or concerts

The shoulder detail of this dress is so different and fun! The material is thin and kinda basic and has no stretch so definitely order your true size!

Material is thin and not stretchy so if you're not sure of your size, go up. I rented the 14 so I could have room and bunch it where I needed to in the mid section. The shoulder was easy to style. You might need to pull it down if you layer with a jacket.

Got so many compliments. It was slightly tight at the waist but definitely snatched me up.

fit kind of short (even for me at 5’0) and tight but still thought it was adorable, paired with knee high boots to go to a bar for a friend’s birthday.

Light material, sexy off the shoulder, easy to wear dress. I’m a size 6 and it fit like a glove. So comfortable and fabulous, I bought it!

I love the cut of this dress but it was a little too short for me to wear comfortably. I tucked it into my jeans and wore it as a top instead. Voila - it worked nicely!

Loved this so much and can dress up or down! I’m usually size 8/10 in stuad and reviews said this ran small so got a 12 and it was perfect!

I’m usually a size 4 and ordered a size 6 and it just fit. Definitely size up!

I carry weight in my belly and it was def tight there so beware if that’s your body type but it’s so chic and fun and basic but unique at the same time

Wore this for a work presentation - slightly short for business casual. Tight around the armpits! Loved it though!

I would say this runs a little small. I am normally a 4 and got a 6

very cute! loved the dress! i sized up for this and it was borderline snug so id size up at least one or even 2 sizes

Great dress. Material is light and has enough stretch that sizing isn’t tricky. It is super short. Hard to tell but the stripes are chocolate brown and ivory.

Other reviews are true. Size up at least 1. I did and it was still pretty short but I went with it for date night. Arm hole is also fairly tight. Light material

This dress was classy, feminine, and just the right amount of dressy for an engagement party! I loved the top but mid section was weird.

2 would’ve been a better fit, 0 was a bit too short on me

Loved loved loved this dress. Perfect for a party/date/rehearsal dinner. Wish I could have kept, I would wear it a dozen more times!

A little short and snug - zero fit very small but was wearable. Two probably would have been too big. I got a lot of compliments!

I'm usually a 2 and got a 4 in this. So glad I did because it fit like a glove and was short. Was great for a night out.

But works and retains structure well!

This is an easy one to wear - great for a date night and feels sexy and fun, but doesn’t feel so cookie-cutter or on-the-nose. Only weird thing is the side zipper sits a little odd so pops out a bit.

I wore this dress for my birthday dinner and loved it! However, the sizing is way off. I’m a true 6, ordered an 8 and it just barelyyyy fit me. Still felt tight and short. I find Staud’s sizing to be very inconsistent (in both directions). It’s a great dress just definitely go up one or two sizes.

wore to a friend’s work premiere, very comfortable with flattering draping. size 16 worked great, wore light shapewear underneath & knee high boots. zipper sticks around the waist seam so have help or zip first & slip on. cowl neck straps are posable and slightly stretchy. crepe fabric didnt need to be steamed which was easy.

This dress is adorable, but it is NOT a sitting down dress! It is seriously short, like your lady parts are hanging out when you sit down :/. Fits small to TTS in the waist, chest, I was able to skip the bra. Love the fabric & color, just not the length. I am 5’5” and there is no stretch to pull it down.

Very cute dress - the 10 was a bit snug around my tummy but not horrible. I was swimming in the 12 so I went with the 10. Zero stretch so if you’re afraid of it being too small get a size up.

So short and tight in the hips for me so had to improvise and put a skirt over it. Love the silhouette of the top though.

This arrived with tags on it! super thin material, not linen - but good for summer! I'm short - so this was a little long and flared at the bottom. In real life I would tailor it shorter and tighten the top a bit. A 6 would've been too small to zip with boobs I think. So I'd say this def runs small.

I adore the color combo in this dress. The diagonal sculpting across the top is flattering, but the bottom of the dress is figure hugging and, even on my shorter frame, it felt quite short for my comfort level. Because I love this style so much, I did try this in a size 2 and because of how short the dress it, I didn't end up purchasing it.

I’m usually a size four / small in Staud dresses and I’ve tried on a similar off the shoulder top before and the 6 was a little big. I could barely zip up the six in this dress. So tight I couldn’t wear it but I love the style
