Launched in Los Angeles in 2011, Dress the Population is known for its fresh take on evening wear geared toward dressing women with a chic, spirited approach to style. With the goal of making quality design accessible and affordable, the company offers fashion-forward pieces that run the gamut from sequined jumpsuits to sophisticated little black dresses and glamorous gowns.
Beautiful dress. Sexy yet sophisticated. The light mauve color is gorgeous. I’m wearing it to a wedding and I’ll be wearing it again at other events. Runs a bit large. I’m 5-6 130 lbs and the XS fits me like a glove. I’m small chested though, and I think if you’re full on top you may need to size up. The stretch of the material allows you to move around easily. Can’t wait to wear it.

Love me the dress, loved the way it fit. Because the back is lower there is really no support on the sleeve so it just keeps slipping off your shoulder. I knew I wouldn’t be able to wear it having to pull the sleeves back up all day. Really cute though it’s too bad.

Great dress!
Bought XS in burgundy color and the dress fits and looks just as pictured. For reference: 5’8”, 130lbs, 24in waist, 32D/DD. I did not find the neckline to be revealing at all.

Great style dress, but too low in back!
The front of this dress is amazing! The back drops too low for a standard bra, so you would need a convertible bra with a low back. This is a deal breaker for me, so I am returning this dress.

Perfect Little Black Dress
This is the perfect little black dress. It’s slimming in all the right places and screams sexy. I truly love this dress.

Didn’t even get to try on :-(
I was super excited to try this dress on. When it arrived I read that the fabric wasn’t as they had written. I have an allergy so I’m not able to wear all fabrics and I specifically looked to make sure I could. When it arrived I read it again and it was different then they had advertised. Nordstrom please please please always write down what it actually says on the tag. That would be super helpful. I’m very disappointed I wasn’t able to try it on.

returned this one.
I bought a few dresses to try on for a family wedding. This dress was cut lower in front than I expected and even though the back cut out is pretty, the cup sleeves were falling off my shoulders. Had to return this one.

Good for the money
This is an elegant dress that is mainly true to size. It is comfortable. The shoulders tend to slip so you need tape to avoid a wardrobe malfunction

Classy cocktail dress
Material is thicker than it looks on the model. Falls nicely on the body. Runs small - I am 5ft 3 and 121 pounds and usually wears XS. XS was tight and I exchanged for a S which fits perfect.

Great dress, runs a little big
Great dress for a more conservative event. Runs a little bigger than I was expecting. I am 5’4” and 128 lbs, and had to return the Medium. Hoping that a Small does the trick.
