This dress was a showstopper! I got SO MANY compliments when we went to dinner and a play in downtown Seattle! I am 5’5 132ish pounds and wore the XS. The waist has no give, but it’s obviously very forgiving everywhere else. I didn’t wear a bra bc of the back but didn’t need one bc the fabric was thick and it wasn’t an issue. I felt beautiful and was so sorry to send it back. Honestly, I’ll probably buy it. Rent this one, it’s worth it! Classy and beautiful.

Size Worn: XSR

Usual Size: 4

Height: 5' 5"

Weight: 130lbs

Bust: 36DD

This is styled to be shorter in the sleeve and doesn't have buttons or a zipper so wouldn't recommend for an outdoor event if it's going to be really cold. It was perfect with the dress I rented and made complimented my pink heels so well. Definitely roomy, but I have an athletic build so it worked for me. Recommend sizing down if you are of very small frame.

This dress was a backup and the last one I tried on. It's GORGEOUS! I wore it to a wedding and I got so many compliments. You'll need help with the zipper unless mine was just wonky, it was hard getting past the skirt seam. I am a 36DD and didn't even have to wear a bra either, and it kept the girls snug and in place. This dress definitely highlights all the right spots and holds any problem spots in. I'm not very hippy, so I'm not sure if that would be a problem for you booty blessed ladies!

Size Worn: 10

Usual Size: 8

Height: 5' 5"

Weight: 150lbs

Bust: 36DD

This dress is pretty sexy, no doubt about it. It definitely hugs all your curves in the right places and it's true to size. Love the crimson color and the lace detail is beautiful but holy cleavage. I am a 36DD and everyone at the event would have definitely known it. This was a work related event as well, so even if I felt pretty uninhibited it would not have been appropriate at all. I also don't like how the sewn in cup detail is so tiny so if you're anything above a B-cup, the cup will look like it sits in the middle of your boob. Weird. Other than that, an A/B cup girl can wear this with no problem at all.

Size Worn: 6R

Usual Size: 6

Height: 5' 5"

Weight: 130lbs

Bust: 36DD

This dress is GORGEOUS. There is zero give at the bust line, however, so if you're like me (36DD) it probably won't work. Maybe a 34DD could have worn it, though. I am normally a size 6 and I could barely get this dress in a 6L to go over my hips, though. My back up size, 8L zipped all the way up but would NOT go over my boobs all the way and I really wasn't going for the busty bar-maid/half hanging out aesthetic. It zips on the side which is normally easier for me to get into with tight dresses. The 8 was already pretty roomy in the torso, so going up to a size 10 would probably have looked ridiculous on me. I really wanted this dress to work, but once again the "ladies" betrayed me. Sigh. I'd totally recommend it, just make sure you size up! P.S., the picture shows the dress like it actually fits, but it's not actually zipped up all the way...wanted to keep the pics PG-13, lol!

Weight: 130lbs

Bust: 36DD

This was a lovely fuschia color. The fabric is kind of stretchy so where I sized up I probably would have had a better fit with a size 6, which is my usual size. Pro's: you can wear a bra if you want to, it's also relatively modest. Con's: I felt like the fit reminded me of something the mother of the bride would wear. Maybe that's just me, though. Overall a lovely dress, but didn't work for me for a few reasons.

Size Worn: 8R

Usual Size: 6

Height: 5' 5"

Weight: 130lbs

Bust: 36DD

Background: I ordered this dress as an emergency replacement which was overnighted to me after my first order of dresses did not fit. Fit: 1. Runs SUPER small! I am normally a size 4-6, but am pretty busty and because there is no stretch to the fabric anything smaller like a size 8 would not have zipped all the way up. I think if I were smaller in the chest area I may have fit a size 6 even, if I had sucked it in, lol. If you have a smaller bust, going only one or two sizes up will probably work just fine. If not, I would recommend ordering 2-3 sizes up just in case. 2. It is extremely long. I am 5'5" and was wearing 3 inch heels. The hem still dragged on the floor at least 2-3 inches. It looked really pretty, but I had to be careful walking and with certain dance moves. It isn't a heavy dress so it doesn't pull downwards. 3. There are straps you can use if you want to, I chose not to and used double sided tape with only one side removed to keep them from poking out like they wanted to. I also wore a spanx type corset because the fabric kept wanting to bunch upwards. This fixed it, but you could see it a little. I didn't think it was noticeable enough to be concerned though. Overall, I got TONS of compliments and the mermaid design looks very pretty when you dance as the bottom swirls around you. The color is gorgeous and I really stood out since 99% of the dresses there were dark. I would recommend this dress and wish I could actually buy it!
