Love it! - 10.19.2008

"I ordered this dress online in a size 4 because it was the smallest size they had. I normally wear a size 0 sometimes 2, so I was expecting to need to take the dress in, but it fit perfectly, leaning towards the snug side. But I did need to get the straps shortened, they were super long."

So disappointed - 8.18.2008

Top 250 Contributor

"I got this on the bigger sz and still it did not fit well. I did not have problem getting it close but it just did not look good. My chest is too big for this dress. It would be great if they made this style for regular breast girls."

Perfect for summer - 8.12.2008

Top 500 Contributor

"I was so excited to get this dress in the mail. I'm very tiny (0, xs, 32a) and this was especially tight in the chest area - a little too puffy by the hips. Kept my size 0 anyways, because the straps would have been too long on a 2. it just takes me a while to get in and out of it ;)
also the fabric is quite thin, if i'm wearing a white tank underneath, the top will seem brighter than the bottom half of the dress.. otherwise this dress is one of my favs!"

Pretty Dress, VERY SMALL!! - 8.1.2008

Top 500 Contributor

"I had to size up two sizes. Be careful!! It it gorgeous when you finally get one that fits. This is esp true if you have a chest. I am a 34 C and had to ize up to a 10 just to get the chest area to zip. I normally wear a 6 or 4 sometimes in free people."

Order TWO Sizes Up - 7.30.2008

"I am normally a size 0 or 2 and got this dress in a 4 bec. I read about the sizing. It was still too tight. I really wanted to like this dress but the color I got (red) seemed really garish too, which
was suprising to me."

SO pretty, SUCH weird fit. - 7.18.2008

"so pretty that i had to keep-- despite quirks requiring alteration. usually wear a 4 or 6, 8 zips up slim and perfect at the superfitted corsety waist. Very low-cut-- not bad but Distinct, will-be-noticed balconette, demi cut. paid a ten-spot to shorten the strangely long floppy straps 1.5". straps are hardly structural, though, but ornamental due the trim shape. soft knitty pointelle w woven menswear crisp trim."

Great but lil small - 7.16.2008

"I agree with others about the size issue... I am 94lb and wear only XS for everything, but feel the dress is a little tighter than any other XS or size 0. I still kept a size zero though. Other than the size issue, this is one of the best dresses I got for this season! Please enjoy it, ladies!!"

Cute but runs very very small - 6.11.2008

"I ordered this in an 8 when I'm normally a size 4 & it was still too small! My chest is a 32D which even at 2 sizes up & even with the elastic back it was still too tight.
The rest of the dress runs small as well."

Frumpy and strange fit - 5.31.2008

Top 50 Contributor

"I just tried this dress on. I am usually a 4 or 6 but the store only had an 8. It was oddly cut in the top, binding and unflattering. The bottom was too long and frumpy looking. I did not buy it. The idea is cute. I love dresses that tie at the waist or below the bust. Also, I was not crazy about the material."

Not for girls with chests! - 5.29.2008

Top 250 Contributor

"I was really disheartened when I received this dress and it did not fit properly. I ordered a size larger than I normally wear after reading reviews and the dress was still way too tight in the chest. I'm 5'3," 100 pounds, and a 32 C. The size two dress was way too tight for my chest and a 4 would be to big for the rest of my body. I had to return the dress.

It is a very pretty and good quality dress, however, and girls whose chests are more proportioned to their body sizes should definitely consider it."

love love love - 5.23.2008

"i bought this dress in navy, in a size 2, and i absolutely love it. it does run small, so definitely get a size up (i usually wear a 0, but had to get a 2). it is extremely flattering, i'm slender but have big curves, so it made me look tall and long. the only thing is, it is VERY low cut, so i'd advise wearing a cami or a bralette underneath."

Tricky - 5.22.2008

Top 250 Contributor

"I fell in love with the yellow version of this dress. I did run into some problems though. i wear a 4 in every free people top i own, and in this dress the 6 was very tight in the chest area. i was disappointed but was able to get it altered."

Gorgeous but tight. - 5.22.2008

Top 100 Contributor

"I absolutely fell in love with this dress and bought all three colors, but it ran very tight. I'm normally a size zero but I had to get a size two for them, and it was STILL hard to zipper them up. And the sleeves were really loose; I have a feeling the dress is made for someone with a larger chest than me! :)"
