perfect fit

I bought this dress in off white. This fit like a glove. There was a significant of cleavage while still elegant. I ordered the XL, for reference I wear a 38DDD bra size and am around 180 lbs. The fabric is a good thickness and even in the white was not see through. I have not decided if I will wear a bra or not but it is impressive that i could get away with not wearing one. That never happens for me.

Awkward fit and heavy fabric

I ordered this dress in plum. The color was beautiful, but that's where the "pros" come to an end. Either the dress pictured was tailored for the model, or she is just exactly perfect (and 6 feet tall). I am 5'5 and this dress hit at the widest part of my calf -- very unflattering. The v-neck was extremely low, but the armpits were tight. The fabric was heavy, which isn't always a bad thing, but in this case the dress was uncomfortably heavy. I also had an odd experience with the tags -- I ordered this dress at full price from Nordstrom, received the dress in a Nordstrom box, but had a Rack tag on it. The Rack tag showed a cost of $65! Fortunately, customer service was stellar as always, and there were no issues returning this for the price I paid.

Picture perfect dress

This dress will fit you really well if you’re the inverted triangle body type. It’s a voluptuous A line, and it gives special volume to the hips because of the pockets. Petites will love it!

cute!

Beautiful color, thick lined crepe fabric. I’m 5’2” 130lbs and 32DDD on top. Ordered a small, kind of a lot of cleavage but tight enough on top that I don’t need a bra which is nice. Not sure if I’ll wear just cause the amount of cleavage is a little much for me. A medium would be more comfortable but maybe too much fabric then. Beautiful dress though! My fiancé loved it lol.

Very low cut!

Fits fine overall (I’m 5’1” 120 lbs) but the neckline plunges much lower on me than it does on the models! I can’t wear a bra with this. Maybe I’m too short for this style

Perfect impromptu wedding dress

Originally meant for my rehearsal dinner this dress got upgraded to wedding dress when ceremony got downgraded to a front yard pandemic affair. There was an audible whispered ripple in the audience of “it has pockets” when I pulled out my vows. Comfortable, cool, and flattering. Also was thrilled to discover machine washable

Perfect casual elopement dress

I ordered this dress in both a L and XL. The L fits like a glove. The fabric is like a thick crepe, and it looks expensive. It hits me just below the knees and I’m 5’7 for reference. The top is really flattering, it cinches the waist and the deep V is just enough, plus the fabric is thick enough that you don’t need a bra. I’m one of those coronabrides who cancelled their big wedding for an elopement. I’ll be wearing this for our tiny casual beach ceremony and can’t wait!

Perfect LBD

I purchased this dress three years ago in the color black. I wore it for the first time last week. I got so many complements on this dress. I love that it's beautiful and comfortable . . . and the pockets! Everyone loved my pockets. I wear a 34DD and this dress is tight and thick enough were a bra is not needed. I think this dress will be flattering on most body types.

Great Dress

Great dress. Feels well-made. I'm 5'3" and wished it came in petite because I would need to get the hem taken up else it may over power my frame (even with heels). I bought the blush and bright fuchsia. I'm a pale, blonde woman and the (beige-y) blush color surprisingly washed me out. The bright fuchsia was a wonderful, fun color though. I feel like I may be in-between a medium and a large. I ended up buying the large knowing I can tailor it if needed. For reference, I have a 41" hip, 31" waist and 38" bust. It feels like a staple dress to have for various occasions. Also, FYI I don't feel like it shows as much cleavage as the models picture shows--I think she is wearing a push-up bra.

Simple yet so flattering! Dress it up or down!

I was invited to a wedding were the dress code was blue. I ordered so many different blue dresses and this was the only one that fit me like a glove. At first I thought it was too simple. I wanted something that would stand out a bit considering I knew everyone would be wearing blue. But the perfect fit plus the fact that it’s a quality, well made dress, when I added some sexy heals the outfit was a hit and I stood out in all the right ways! I highly recommend this dress. It even has pockets!!!!

just ok

Not sure what all the fuss is about, but there is a lot of material on the bottom half of the stress, just FYI, Because this can make you look a lot wider than you are

This designer always runs absurdly small

I never order from this designer because everything runs insanely small. I usually wear an XL, but can never fit a Dress the Pop. XL. They recently added XXL to many of their garments so I was excited to order a couple pieces. This dress is gorgeous, but even in an XXL, I can’t zip it. I ordered another one by DTP and it’s the same size but even smaller. You’d have to be a seize 12/14 to comfortably wear a XXL by this designer.

Stunning, sexy LBD!

This dress is stunning! I docked 1 star because of the sizing. I wear a 8M in every other dress, but had to get a L in this. For reference, I'm 5'6" 140 36D with wide shoulders. Once I got the correct size this dress looked fantastic!
