Cute but awkward fit
Would not recommend if you have a bigger chest. This fits really awkward and is also very short.

Not meant for girls with boobs!
It’s SO cute I’m obsessed but if you have any type of boob bigger than C I would say don’t get it! I tried one size bigger too and just doesn’t work at all! Super unfortunate because it’s so cute

Great staple
Overall a really flattering dress I got a lot of compliments on it. My only concern was it was a little bit low in that front , I’d like a higher neckline I felt like I had to pull it up often.

Nice material but good luck if you have big boobs
The dress looks amazing, however, it doesn’t hold me well on the breast level and the sleeves felt down on my shoulder. It didn’t fit me because of that.

It’s perfect
I love this dress. I normally hate short dresses on me but this one is so flattering. I’m excited to wear it to my bridal shower!

So comfortable and flattering, absolutely obsessed!
The only thing it isn’t great for is smaller chested girls, other than that everything about this dress is so amazing.

Too small for chest
Unfortunately I had to return because my boobs were too big for the dress. For reference I'm 5'5, 130lbs and wear a 34C. I ordered a size 6 and everything else fit perfectly but the chest

Amazing quality & super flattering!
I am 5'10 and about 145 pounds with long legs and this dress is the perfect length on me! The material feels and looks very high quality and it is not see through at all (I got white). I would highly recommend this dress!!
