This dress had beautiful drape and swing, very fluttery when walking.  Fit fairly well, I’m not big up top but I think you could be a D cup and still wear this, as I felt it bordered on too big for me.  The band sits more at empire waist than true waist.  
It is pretty long so heels definitely required unless you are tall (I think my heels were around 2-1/2” and I’m 5’6”).  Loved the color and print.  It was perfect for me.

I am usually a size 6 (if not a size 4) and I ordered an 8 after measuring myself against the sizes on the Donna Karan website. I am very glad I did, as a 6 would have been too small - the 8 is perfect. I am 5'8" and the dress hits just above the ground for me, and I love the cross back/support in the chest. There are sewn in pads which is great. Overall, the dress is light, airy, but still fit the bill for my formal event.

Loved this dress but it just didn’t fit well.  The neckline is not nearly as deep as it appears in the photo.  The top did not support my chest at all and I didn’t have a bra that would work with this style.  Adhesive bra cups would be ideal.  

Light material, was a little too small in the rib cage area, and the neckline was much higher than the images. Could be that if you have a broader upper body, you should size up and it may hang better!

I don’t think this style is very flattering for my size. 

I normally wear a size 10, but this dress barely fit over my rib cage. Sadly, I couldn’t wear it.

The neckline is actually quite high, not nearly as low as it’s pictured in the model. I felt like it was very pretty but something more appropriate for my mother who is 65. 

Fit well, just use fabric tape to secure the top! Good pattern and color. 

Everything was perfect except for bust area. It was a little too big and the neckline was a bit off. 

Fit just right even though a bit long. Looked much darker and more subdued in real life--wanted something more bright white and it looked more grey/indigo in indoor light. Also was more "mother-of-the-bride-at-a-rehearsal-dinner" than the "light-and-airy-garden-picnic-party" I was hoping for. 

It was cute but the waist was tight and so it produced more back fat. It was also big in the chest area. 

I wish the straps were adjustable. Otherwise a very cute dress 

This was a nice fit for the torso, but the skirt length was waaay to long for me. I tripped over it all night long.

I didn't wear this as it showed too much side boob, not appropriate for a shower.   It would be cute for a beachy occasion. It probably wouldn't work for someone not busty. 

This dress had an awkward fit for me. The neckline area felt like it should have gone down lower but maybe it would be better for someone with a smaller cup size. 

This should have fitted but the straps are non adjustable and despite not being very well endowed the top part didn’t fit at all

The boobs fit incredibly weird, somehow both flattening (so it felt too small on my 36Bs) and also very baggy toward the armpit. More babydoll/empire waist than the pictures imply.

It looked so cute in other peoples pictures but it did not work for me. My postpartum body especially my extra weight around the underside of my bra line did not like this cut!
