Was stalking this for months-
(April 7, 2013)
"I saw this dress in the store before I saw it on the site. Tried it on and it was amazing. So I had to buy it. This is definitely a dress for bustier, curvier girls, as I'm a 38D myself (5' 4") UO dresses often don't fit me very well, as I'm "bigger", but this one was perfect! Very flowy, very girlish, and you can dress it up or down. I've gotten many compliments in it, and I wear it all the time!"

Disappointed
(March 20, 2013)
"Cute on the model, but most definitely not on me! Props to the photographer for making that model look so good in it, but in person the dress looks puffy and unflattering. I bought a medium (my normal size) but it just made me look HUGE! My friend who has a more full body shape than me tried it on with a belt, and although it looked better on her (esp. because of the belt) it still didn't look at all flattering! The lacey top part of the feels like cheap material and seems a bit awkwardly long, it also made my friends and my chest just look like a frumpy big lump. Too bad though... I really wanted this dress to look cute on me :( DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!"

"This dress is absolutely adorable! I ordered it for a concert I am going to in March, and I am very pleased! I was a little hesitant ordering my regular size since some of the reviews said to size down, but it ended up working out fine! I am 5'5 and 115 pounds with a 34A bust, and the dress fits really well! I am going to get the straps taken in a little bit because the dress was a little longer than I usually like, but other that it is perfect! Despite the overlay making the dress a little shapeless, I think that it is really playful and cute and I cannot wait to wear it!"

Absolutely beautiful
(February 19, 2013)
"I received this dress a few days ago, and it has fast become my favorite! (and I have a closest comprised of 85% dresses) I have to disagree with the reviewers that called it unflattering; it lays very nicely for a loose dress, it didn't add any pound or inches to my frame. I'm 5'4'', 130lbs, 36D, and I've had two kids, so I definitely feel self conscious about my midsection and hips sometimes, but this looks great! It is on the flowy, loose size. I ordered a medium and it fits beautifully, with a bit of breathing room. l absolutely am in love with it!"

Not Flattering
(February 10, 2013)
"My mom bought me this dress for Christmas this year, and how excited I was to receive such a beautiful dress temporarily masked me from seeing that the positioning of the lace overlay made me look quite wide. Since it is empire waisted and the fabric on top hangs straight down, you lose all definition of a waist and the fit really doesn't give you that much of a figure. Beautiful dress, but I will be returning it."
"To start, I'm 5'4, 125 lbs, 28" waist, 32D, typically size 4 or Small. I love love love this dress. I got the size Small, but when I put it over my head I noticed that the elastic around the waist felt a little loose. It fits pretty much everywhere else, and still looks good, but I feel like I definitely could have sized down. I wish the XS wasn't back-ordered or I would have exchanged it. Beware though- it doesn't do much for the belly area. If you're comfortable with it not making you look quite as small, get it. Either way, it's just far too adorable and princess-like not to keep. Buy it!!"

Waiting for a dress like this!
(February 7, 2013)
"I am a 34C and my hips are about 39 inches. I am a pear shape and I love how the top material piece accentuates my waist and the tulle at the bottom is more flow. I hate dresses that are too short and barely cover my butt. I am happy with the fit. I purchased a M, although I wonder if I could have done well with a S, I am happy with the fit."
"i'm going to have to disagree with the reviewer that said to order a size down. i would actually recommend ordering a size up. that is, if you are moderately busty & want this to fit more like a dress than a long shirt. i'm 5'4" and a 34D. i ordered my usual medium and it fits okay, but sizing up definitely would have made the fit more to my liking. i know if i had ordered a size down it wouldn't have fit in the chest at all. it all depends on your body shape i guess. i would say overall this is pretty TTS and ordering a size up if you are a C or above won't hurt."

IN DYING LOVE
(January 22, 2013)
"OK... I was so heart-broken with I saw this dress was backordered until APRIL... I loved it so much, I ordered it anyways. Suprisingly, it came in the mail soon after! This dress is everything I was hoping for. I am 5'6 120 lbs with a 32DD chest... the small fits me like a glove. I love the flow, it is not see through, I dont need a slip.... I can not wait to wear this dress with a denim vest and camel suade booties.... Do yourself a favor.... this dress is PERFECT!"

Runs big but still cute!
(January 11, 2013)
"I love this dress, I weigh 110 lbs, 5'4, 34a and I purchased a small because there were no XS available. I would recommend belting the dress if it's too big, otherwise it looks pretty shapeless."
"I saw this dress in store, and after seeing online, i thought, I must try this dress on. I got an x-small, i'm 32a, 110 pounds
It fit perfectly, however. The dress is much more poofier than what the picture shows above, it lacks shape. But, it is still comfy and cute dress, as well as pretty"

Lovely

"I picked this up today at the store and was afraid that is would be too small like dresses normally are here because I have a larger bust. It really does fit perfectly though.
It is a tad but lacking in shape because the top covers the waist elastic, but all else considered it really pretty and comfortable. Definitely one of my best purchases from here."
"I got a size small and while I think a smaller size would have fit in a more shapely way, the dress is meant to be more flowy and not as fitted - the lace overlay does cover the definition of the waist, so it's kind of a straight shot down.
That being said, it's beautiful. I think it fits true to size, it looks just like the picture here. I also think the length is perfect, it hits a little longer or at mid-thigh.
Probably the most happy I've ever been with a dress from here!"
"For reference I'm 5'3" and 110 lbs with a 34A bra size. I'm on the slender side but am normally a S in any dress from UO - alternatively, I'm normally a 2 in pants but the waist on this sits pretty high up. This dress is absolutely adorable, but I'd say it fits on the large size. The top portion of the dress is just baggy so you don't have much of a shape if you go with your normal dress size. I also think with the way the lace sits, this dress would be better for busty folks."
