Beautiful
This dress is stunning. It is form fitting and hugs the bodies curves in all the right ways. I am 5'8 and about 160 pounds and the small fit but was very snug. I would highly recommend this dress to everyone.

Not a winner
I have the shorter version of this dress in black and I love it. The long white version just felt thin in the skirt and see through

Beautiful dress
This dress is so stunning on. I did have it altered to be less low in the front and hemmed the bottom. It made the dress fit me even better. I suggest wearing spanx shorts under it because it is see through at the bottom. I got a ton of compliments.

Very flattering indeed!
For context: I’m 5’8”, about 145lbs, 34DD. Size 26-28 jeans depending on the brand. Small to medium tops. Dress fits like a dream and hugs your curves very nicely. I put on 2.5in heels just so the dress wouldn’t drag on the floor in the event I needed to return it, but I can easily wear 4in heels and the dress will just barely graze the floor. Second time buying a DTP dress and I love this brand! Very good quality!

Small chest folks beware
I ordered a small and medium as I was between sizes. Both fit my hips great but the small and medium were both way to big for my chest. My measurements are 33 chest, 29.5 waist and 39.5 hips. I’m hoping to make the small fit by adding some additional bra padding, using adhesive tape and wearing something to push up the girls.

A little hard to move in
This dress looked absolutely perfect on, however, I found that it would be very hard to dance in. So great for standing and looking pretty! Also, I a borderline petite at 5'4", so not sure if that was the issue.

Beautiful dress
Bought this dress and am planning on wearing it for my wedding. It's simple and elegant. I'm 5'1 and 110 LBS and an XS fits like a glove. I will need the length hemmed and am going to have cups added to the chest.
