I usually wear a size 4 and the M was perfect. The S was too tight in the waist, as others have noted. The M was super comfortable, and was flattering for my petite pear, small-chested frame. The fabric is gorgeous, with a lovely sheen and subtle jewel toned pattern. A little short for formal events, but can we be dressed up or down. I was happy with it for a semi-formal winter wedding dinner. 

This was my 2nd time renting this dress. the first time I sized up based on reviews and got a large, but definitely would have been fine in my normal size (small or medium). This time I ordered a medium and it fit like a glove! It was a little shorter on me than I would have liked, but I have a long torso so was expecting this. I wore it with hose underneath and felt comfortable. I wore it in London and Paris in November. It was festive and such a fun and unique piece. I even wore it for a photoshoot in Paris. 

Love the extra fabric on the skirt, it feels luxurious and the velvet is super soft. Lined as well. The belt is sewn on, so don’t plan to trade it out, as I did ;) would wear with the tights too.

Got so many compliments and I was able to wear it to both church and an evening holiday party. Soooo pretty! 

I ordered the medium because that is all they had left, and it still (barely) fit! I had to have both of my roommates zip me up lol. I would recommend getting the large if you can, if you have my stats, if a little smaller the medium WILL fit, it just depends on the type of fit you’re looking for, very snug or looser!

I said it was too small only because it was a bit too short for my liking. I wore it with tights and tall boots though and ended up getting tons of compliments on it. The snap closure that keeps the top from showing your bra did not reliably stay closed for me but I have a bigger chest. Would suggest using fashion tape or having some with you as back up. Overall loved what I wore for the concert and it photographed well but I only took group photos apparently. 

I wore this dress for a November wedding in Pittsburgh on a boat—I was yhappy to have the long sleeves! The fabric is really pretty, and the dress is very comfortable. I sized up because of the zipper issue, which worked fine. The little button in the chest popped open a few times, so be prepared for that

It’s a great dress that doesn’t suit my body type entirely- high quality and good fit. 

It’s so pretty but so soo tight around the waist. The top is loose and flowy but I can’t get it to zip. I’m about 130 and 5’6 so this is my typical size. It does feel short but that’s ok. You need a tiny waist 

Wore to a Stevie nicks concert and totally nailed the vibe. Got so many compliments, wish it was a tad shorter 

I’m glad I sized up after reading other reviews. The shoulders, arms, and skirt are generous, but the waist has no stretch and the chest is very small and low cut because the modesty snap would not stay closed on me. It was fine with a lace cami underneath. The length was perfect, hit a few inches above the knee on me. Great date night or party dress, just beware if you have a larger chest.
