Loved the print and flowiness

The fabric and print are lovely. The dress hugs your waist and is very comfy. The dress made me look too boxy though, and didn't do much around the chest. This dress would be great for someone with a curvy body type

Soooo cute and fits great

It was the perfect formal work dress!! It fit me PERFECT and was so snug all day. I was concerned that a mermaid style dress would feel weird but it actually was super comfortable. The vibe of the wedding was loveshackfancy and I felt like this was the perfect formal/work/cutie outfit to match!!

Classy, Comfy Formal Dress

Worn to a formal rehearsal dinner, 9 weeks pregnant. It has the perfect amount of stretch to fit a little bump, but still so comfortable. I wore a strapless bra and regretted it because you really can go without for this dress. I maybe could have sized down. It was a tiny bit large in the top/armpits but otherwise it was fun, cute, and form-fitting yet forgiving!

Perfect for an end of summer wedding!

Although the comments say the fabric is super heavy, I did not really feel it was that bad! The dress has multi layered printed mesh and then a stretchy lining under. I felt like it really sucked me in and was flattering! It was also a perfect length for me with a slight heel. I could see it being too thick to wear for an outdoor summer wedding, but for an end of summer or pre fall wedding it would be perfect!

Thick material

I was hoping this would be more flattering than it was. Still wore to a black tie optional spring wedding and got tons of compliments, but the thick material didn't leave me looking as snatched as I expected given the otherwise fitted bodice and ruching.

Nice dress but odd

This dress did nothing for me. It fit perfectly but the ruching at the top is just weird. Pointed upwards. It did nothing but make me feel matronly. For reference I’m 5’5” 150 lbs 34D hourglass

If you’ve got a bump & a wedding to go to, rent this!

I am about 3 months pregnant with my 2nd so I already look about 6 months pregnant (iykyk). I rented this dress for a summer wedding and it did not disappoint! The ruching on the belly gave enough stretch to display my bump in such a cute way! It was so comfortable to wear. I saw other reviews that said the material is heavy for the summer and not to rent if you’re petite (I’m 5’0”). I could not disagree with those reviews more! It was the perfect weight for the weather (90° August summer day) and perfect length for me, with or without my 3” heels. If you are preggo, this is 100% a great option!

Little long for short ppl

I liked it, but when I saw myself in pics, I looked really thick through the middle. I am thick in the middle and this accentuated it. It was also a little long on me.

Really beautiful dress; the cut was just right and made for a sophisticated entrance. However, the dress was very heavy.

Odd fit

It looks like two dresses in top of one another. A fitted, short ruched one on top of a long one. Makes for a heavy dress, and entirely too much for my 5’3” build. Did not wear.

Coulda been great

It's at least half a size too big to have been flattering on me. Fun, unique dress. Heavy dress but comfortable to wear and bonus, you can wear regular undergarments. I did not end up wearing it to the wedding. Went with something else due to fit. If rented again, would get a size small and I never wear a small.

Feels great on, but not ideal for short girlies

I love the way the dress feels on, but the horizontal nature of the design accentuates the width, which would work better on taller girlies. Passed on it also because the zipper of this particular dress didn't work properly.

Great fit, lots of fabric

I didn't wear this out but it was a lovely fit. The ruched detail meant a lot of extra fabric so relative to other dresses, it felt heavy. Otherwise, very flattering!

Didn't wear it

It was so close to being what I needed, but unfortunately the ruching laid in a weird way and I couldn't adjust it in a way I was happy with. The ruching is uneven in a way tha tlooks like a mistake rather than an intentional design.

really heavy, didn't end up wearing

I tried this for a wedding and didn't end up wearing it because it just felt very heavy and long, and didn't suit me. I think it's an overwhelming dress for anyone on the shorter side.
