Live this dress, however the belt is so fitted that it rolled and needed to be adjusted every trine I sat down. 

What a flattering dress, many complements when I wore it to speak at a conference.

Open cut back means it’s hard to wear with a bra. Also, I needed assistance zipping it up over the embroidered waistband. Once I got it on though, absolutely loved it 

I didn’t expect much but the fit and details of this were stellar. I wore it to work and didn’t want to take it off. I ended up wearing it for my birthday dinner because it just felt so nice. 

I loved the fit of this dress and the unique details. Many compliments on this one.  

The waist line was very tight and then there was a lot of space in the chest. Maybe it’s not meant for a small bust. 

The sizing on this was a little awkward and the belt doesn’t stay in place well. Otherwise nice dress, material little heavier 

I’d been eyeing this dress for a while, but not sure it was worth the stalk.  It was flattering, but I didn’t like how the waist embroidery would roll up sometimes.  Just ok on for me.  TTS.  Wore to work.

Really liked this dress! Fit great and was easy to move in. There is a little bit of a heaviness/excess fabric to it, but it was great for going out to dinner in a very hot summer in Paris. Would rent again!

I loved the look of this dress but the belt detail (it’s only partially attached to the dress) was so tight around my waist and made the top look kind of bunchy, like too blousy. I’m almost wondering if it has shrunk because it was so tight compared to the overall fit of the dress. The length is also a little long for petites.  It is a very cool, classy style though and I enjoyed wearing it one time to an evening museum reception.

The belt makes this so flattering. I got stopped multiple times asking where this was from! 

waste was a little tight but overall great dress

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! So many people asked me where this was from. Wore to work and it was so comfortable and flattering!

This dress was cute. Got lots of compliments. I could zip it but it was definitely tight in the waist as others mentioned. Overall glad I went with the 38, I think sizing up would have made the top too much of a bubble/puff. Belt tended to fold over when I was sitting but looked good when standing. FYI the back above the zipper/belt portion is open! I work a black tank under it since I wore it for work and it was totally fine. Got lots of compliments. Great for hot weather and it didn’t wrinkle in my luggage. 

For reference - I am a true pear shape. More of a small/4 up top and a medium/6 on bottom and carry most my weight in my butt/thighs. 

Or the dress for a work dinner and I loved how unique and find the pattern was. The belt at the waist, definitely cinched and was flattering.

Really cool embroidery detail, but the waist was a little bit tight and hard to zip up because of the thickness of the fabric. Definitely a two person job.

Impossible to zip without help. I used a safety pin for the top section as the little button with the string to put it through was horrible to try and get in. Good for those with small waist but I have larger hips so the “belt” around the middle kept getting rolled. I wouldn’t rent again and don’t recommend even tho it did look cute on. 

It is difficult to zip up without help. 
I am very small in the torso, so the arm hole is a little big. The back doesn’t have any fastening and it puffs up. 

You'll look snatched because the waist runs small, but it's pretty and the belt is high quality detail. Open back on top so bra will show. 

Super comfortable dress. The only downside is the band across the stomach flips/folds over when you sit down which was super annoying to have to fix frequently 

Definitely runs a little smaller in the waist - but super flattering. I did have a little issue with the belt rolling up at the waist.
