Greek goddess vibes
Obsessed with this dress! Got it for a formal law school event and this color makes me feel like Elsa if she were a Greek goddess. Read the reviews and searched for a size chart - I’m usually a size 10 and got the XL. Dress fit perfectly, does not touch the floor when wearing heels (I am 5’6”) and the shoulders stay in place. I plan on getting some fashion tape to make sure the neckline does not move, but this is the perfect mix of formal and sexy to remind everyone that you’re super hot!

Too much fabric
Got this in blue and I had to return it. Way too much fabric and surprisingly heavy. Does not sit the way it does on the model. Felt like I was drowning in it. I ordered two sizes to try, M and L and neither looked good. I am 5'10" and 165lb/fairly flat chested but typically wear larges or size 12, for reference.

lavender athen
Great value! Looks way more expensive then 50$! Usually a 4-6 dress and went down to a XS so it fit snugger around the rib cage and shoulders. Need boob tape for sure and dress tape but overall totally would buy again. The lavender was beautiful

Beautiful! Runs small!
I’m usually a size 4 in dresses so I bought a size small but it did not zip! I sized up and tried the Medium and it fit perfectly. Its very pretty fabric and cut, flows beautifully, perfect for a guest at a summer wedding!

supportive
I found this dress last minute in store for a friends wedding and I’m so glad I did. It fits true to size in my opinion but I have a smaller waist with wider hips. I am size 34DD bust, 5’5, 145 pounds. This dress seems way more expensive than it is. I have larger breasts and I don’t think I’ll need a bra which is so helpful in a time crunch with this neckline. The material is a dream it has enough of a stretch that I feel supported but snatched in the waist. I also can’t believe how many colors there are I almost want to buy a different color just for fun even though I have nowhere to wear it.

Gorgeous dress!
This dress is gorgeous! I am typically a size 8 or 10 and I ordered the large. I'm small chested and needed to have the shoulders adjusted just a bit so that I didn't have to worry about exposing myself. I'm 5'11 and wore 2.5 inch heals and the length was perfect! I received so many compliments I'm thinking about also getting it in white. Highly recommend!
