Bailey Off the Shoulder Body-Con Dress

I saw reviews saying this dress was large and small. In my opinion- it fits true to size. I wear a L to an XL in dresses. Because this was form fitting, I went with an XL and I’m happy I did! It fit perfectly. I had strangers commenting on how hot I looked which felt amazing! I love dancing at weddings, and had a hard time dancing since this was so tight, but I had too much fun and felt too confident in this dress to even care. I’m 210 lbs, 5’5 for reference

I am normally a size 6-8 and I purchased the medium and it was very fitted but not “too small”. I wouldn’t recommend it for an event where you are dancing or need to move around a lot, because the arms are very restrictive, but for any type of “stand/sit still, look pretty” event it’s a real stunner.

This dress is definitely for shapely ladies. I'm 5'4", 110 lbs, 32-25-34 (somewhere between straight figure and hourglass) and this dress mostly just emphasizes that I *don't* really have curves. I got the XXS and it's a little roomy all over, but especially in the hips and bust. The zipper pokes out weirdly, right over my butt. It's also super long on me. I think if I had bigger hips this might work--the dress is structured enough that my smaller chest isn't a huge issue. I'm still trying to decide if I will keep it/get it altered, or return it.

The dress is classy and lovely. It would look great in pictures. I sized up one and the fit was great. But the arms...you can only move your arms up about 1/3 of the way you normally can and for me that’s just not going to work & not worth it. It would drive me crazy and I’d only wear it once which wouldn’t justify the cost. Sad but I sent it back and found a dress I love that I can also be comfortable in. If you don’t mind the restricted arm movement it is a beautiful dress.
