Perfect for hot weather. Lovely dress and flattering 

I am 5'1 and this dress was a perfect maxi. Very easy to wear and comfortable! Will definitely rent again. 

I’ve been obsessing over the Ciao Lucia and am so happy I decided to rent this dress. It was so incredibly flattering and I ended up wearing it several times on vacation. 

Light and flowy, this is the perfect summer dress. The fabric is a little thin if you wanted to go without a bra, but a strapless bra would be hidden! I also think this dress would work with a tshirt underneath, or tank top! I’m 5’4 and it hit me above my ankles so it was the perfect length. It was also very flattering to my figure! 

Truly the easiest dress to just throw on. I wore a nude strapless bra with it and it wasn’t seen. So lightweight and breezy ( wore in 100° weather ). Pockets! Loved it!

I loved this dress by Ciao Lucia! In my opinion, it runs true to size with stretch around the waist. I recommend renting your normal size. This style is fitted throughout the midsection, and flowy and looser at the hips. It was comfortable with my larger chest. You can't to wear a standard bra with this dress due to the thin straps. At 5'4, the length was a little longer on me as a midi length dress. The dress looks like the model photo and is great for summer. The pattern and colors on the dress is amazing in person, and the flow of this dress make it girly and fun. Pair with a heeled sandal, or a white or red sneaker to dress it down!

So comfortable and flattering!! Fantastic color, good material. Will be renting this again 

This dress is smocked through the middle, and fit perfectly! I love the color and print and will rent this one again!

Big bust friendly, waist cinching, so light and comfy. No bra needed. Huge fan of this one! Wore with ballet flats and denim jacket for dinner on vacation.

I thought that this dress was very flattering and I received a lot of compliments. Great dress if you have a bigger bust!

I love this dress. It was so comfortable and flattering. It had pockets. The only problem is you can’t wear a regular bra. I wore just sticky chicken cutlets and it worked fine. Stretchy lightweight material.

Loved this dress more than I expected to! Wore it casually with sneakers and dressed up with heels and accessories. Flattering silhouette with a feminine simple print. Highly recommend this one! 

I sized up from my usual XS and rented a Small here, and it fit really well. Straps are adjustable and the waist smocking is very flattering. I'd wear with either a nude strapless bra or a sticky "Nubra" here. Styled it with a denim jacket and a flat so that it can be worn before the weather gets much warmer.

So cute! Super hot for larger busts. But y'all... how is ciao Lucia charging so much for these flimsy ass dresses with now lining. I mean it's criminal. They are cute but not worth $380

This was so comfy! It was just a tad big for me but would totally rent again! 

This was a like not a love. I felt like the dropped waisted mixed with the pleating made my hips appear larger. The chest area was a little big but otherwise this fit nicely. Definitely is a great option for summer especially if you like this fit. 

I had to accept straps showing for this dress. I had read and seen reviews about all the extra fabric in the chest and with 44Gs that made me feel it would work. And I was right. It does and the dress shape is flattering for curves, v thin so you'll want spanx or a bodysuit. The thinness is great and breezy. But as others noted you can't wear a strapless bc of the open cleavage, and if your boobs are heavy,  a body suit with a low front arch (like I tried) will not hold anything up so I had to just accept showing strap and think that's how big chests would need to do this. I accepted seeing the bra through the dress too-- not usual moves but it was so fun and got lots of compliments and I felt sturdy enough within it with those garments. The dress itself will hold nothing anywhere. Spring or picnic fun  !!

I felt like there was gaping in the breast area. You can see in the photo it’s on the sides
