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.
My husband was invited to an after Oscar party and this dress was perfect!! It has just the right mix of classy and sexy. I had to have the straps shortened a little because my 36C cup was not enough to fill it. But, it was long enough and hugged my curves like it was made for me. For reference, I’m 5’9, 160, and I ordered a medium.

Runs large.
I always wear a L in Dress the Population's dresses, but this L was way bigger than what was indicated on the size chart. The material is also a big cheap-looking, which I haven't seen before from DtP. I love this brand and will continue to buy these dresses, but this one was a miss for me. I returned the dress, and Nordstrom's Customer Service was great.

Sexy but classy
This dress fit beautifully! I was worried about the deep V since I’m a D cup but it was such a classic fit and long length it was elegant but sexy. I’m only 5’2” so I am having it shortened and after my event I intend to shorten to knee length for future wear. The slit is high enough that I won’t lose that. So surprised how flattering this is and that the first dress I tried worked. I’m 5’2” 120lbs 34D and the size 4 was perfect!

Feeling like a queen
This dress is stunning. I am 5’2 and about 115lbs and this dress is long and under my feet even with heals so the slit and length need to be altered. This said, I have 32DD boobs and I don’t need a bra if I don’t want one. The fabric is pretty light but feels well made and durable. The color is stunning. Long story long, I’m obsessed with this gown

COVID bride
This was my dress for our intimate COVID wedding. It was a little too long, but Nordstroms hemmed it for me. It did take a little bit of the drape-y bottom, but I still loved how it made my body look. I’m 5’4” 150lbs and purchased a large. I did wear spanx under, but I had no need for a bra.

Absolutely stunning!
This dress is absolutely stunning. It’s crepe which is a silk, wool, or synthetic fiber fabric with a distinctively crisp, crimped appearance; so it has a stretch to it. Its form fitting, and hugs just right. Your breast will stay in place! Dress comes in only one length, but alterations are easily obtainable if you have a Nordstrom store near you. The slit is mid thigh, and just perfect. I cannot say enough about this dress. Buy it, you will be so thankful you did. It comes in tons of colors. Also see Item #5392354 for additional colors.

stunning
This dress is absolutely stunning. The material is substantial but not too thick. Very well constructed dress. The fit was perfect for me, 5’6”, size S in this dress fit perfect. I usually wear a size 6 in dresses. Accentuated my curves. Zipped up easily. Placement of slit without any issues with walking. I will be pairing this with a faux fur capelet in the fall for a formal event. An incredibly glamorous dress that even my usually reserved husband complimented me without any prompting! Only “issue” is that the dress length is cut for someone 6feet tall. Even with 4 inch stilettos, I will need this hemmed - bear in mind I am about 5’6”. Thankfully Nordstrom will be able to hem this for me free of charge as a Nordstrom card holder.

Don't recommend in white
Fits amazing very flattering... I am 5'7, 32DD and 140 lb and I was a medium. However, I would not recommend white as it showed all the seams and appeared cheap, however I believe the other darker colors would not have that problem.

hope you’re small chested
I wear a size 8 pants, but I have a D cup. This dress closed fine on waste but had no chance in chest. It does seem beautiful, clean lines, but if unless you’re small chested it won’t fit.

Absolutely gorgeous!!
This has to be the first dress never mind outfit period where the model doesn't even do this dress justice. It is so incredible flattering the cut of the chest area, the straps, the way is just perfectly accentuates your hourglass figure - amazing is all I can say. I purchased this in a size small in the midnight blue and I'm in love. When you take it out of the box it doesn't do much for you and I think even hanging at the store I may go past it but once you put it on its a game changer. For reference I'm 5'5" athletic build and 125 pounds and small was perfect. I'm getting married this year and its a second wedding for both so decided to just do a nice formal dress with a little sexy to it. I did just order one in white just to see but don't think ill wear white on wedding #2 and with our ages at 50....but maybe.

Runs True to Size (unlike other DTP dresses)
Based on Dress the Population sizing, I bought an XS but definitely should've gone with regular sizing and got a small. I am 5'7" 125 lbs.

pretty gown but made too small
I am 5’6” and 138lbs. Typically wear S tops and 27 jeans and I could not get the dress zipped or get it past my thighs. I would say this dress is made smaller than usual. Length is quite long and would need it altered even with heels.

Wanted to love it, but just like it.
I bought this dress in the pine and the navy in the same size medium It was stunning that they were cut completely differently up top. The navy fit perfectly, but the bust of the pine dress was cut so strangely and popped out on the sides. Was not worth spending the money to have it re-sewn properly. Nice material, does not look or feel inexpensive. The dress is very very long. Definitely cut for someone very tall to wear with heels. At 5'4" even with 4 inch heels, will need to be hemmed significantly. Wanted to love the dress, but didn't. Keeping the navy as a backup in case the other dresses I ordered don't fit.
