Most compliments rental of all time

Sorry for the graphic nature of this photo but I was not in Nashville for a bachelorette party. 🤭 Quite the opposite. Anyway… everyone LOVED this dress. You can adjust the strings on the front to increase or decrease the size of the keyholes/exposure. Love the pattern, sleeves and pockets. Dreamsville!

Beautiful colors and poufy delight

Big sleeves! Great fit and a little stretch in the dress made this a fun frock. It would be super cute at a shorter length too. Pockets are marvelous. Light fabric, so perfect for a hot day.

Super cute with billowy sleeves

Super cute! The sleeves are more billowy than I excepted, but overall a great piece.

Cute but not my fave

Cute dress, wore it for a lunch date with friends. Paired it with some ankle boots and big earrings. It’s not my favorite Ulla dress that I’ve rented but it worked. Colors were great for spring, and the fact that it’s flowy helped hide the lunch belly! It was nice but I wouldn’t rent it again. One and done

I love Ulla

Loved it but worth noting the cut outs are not adjustable so if you’ve got a chest you’ll be showing it off

Maybe not for petites

I'm 5'2" and this did overwhelm my body a bit. I wore a size 0 and it definitely could have been tighter. I love Ulla Johnson and don't mind an oversized fit, but this was more than usual!

Didn’t wear, too much boob and too much dress. Pretty fabric.

Girls are on display…not in a good way

The cutouts in the cleavage part of this are extremely revealing — definitely not the dress for busty girls!

Busty Girls Beware!

I absolutely loved this dress but I have an athletic body type with DDs and my goodness was there no way I could wear this out in public because of the chest area exposure lol. I had assumed there was a drawstring in the middle but there is not (should have done more research!) so just beware that you will have serious cleavage in this if big chested!

Pretty but tight chest

If you’re busty (full C cup or larger) you will see a lot of boob through the peep holes! 😅 I ended up wearing a black bandeau under it because it felt borderline risqué for the work event I was going to! Maybe size up and see if that helps?

The cutouts dominate

This dress was difficult to wear. The cutouts expose the breast, and there is NO way to wear a bra or undergarment. The color and fabric are amazing!

Too much volume

Even as a taller than average person, this was just too much volume everywhere. The empire-ish waist wasn’t flattering and while the chest area is fairly tight, it’s incredibly oversized everywhere else. The sleeves also did not stay up, even during just a try on.
