You'll get WOW and WHERE DID YOU GET THAT DRESS!!!

LOVE-LOVE_LOVE DRESS THE POPULATION...Maybe the 6th dress at least I have bought from Dress the Population! Good price, amazing fit. I am 5'9" and curvy. The dresses were made for me. Flattering, sexy, and comfortable! I am such a fan of this brand and impressed the pricing is reasonable compared to designer dresses I have bought. I wore this and went online and bought another and am watching new stuff weekly.

Fit Falls Short

This dress is so cute on the website, but so disappointing in person. The skirt fits like a glove, but the top does not curve appropriately to accommodate the chest. This leaves some weird gaps near the underarms, and gapes when tied.

Not for big booby women

I ordered this dress in the Muave color in XL because I'm a little busty. The dress is gorgeous but it didn't fit well. The bottom half looked amazing but the top was horrible. This dress is not made for women with boobs. I loved it in the picture but on me it was a NO. I had to return it. Hopefully Nordstrom can buy dresses for real women's bodies and not for mannequins.

Smoking Hot Dress

This dress is fire. Wore it to a birthday party and got so many compliments. This is a wow dress. It’s sexy yet classy. The haunted top is adjustable and there’s wire / boning in the boob section so it held my girls in just fine. The material is thick and hides all my lumps. I was able to wear shareware under but no bra (shocking not needed). For reference, I’m 5’9, 145, athletic. And a size small fit perfectly.

better on the model

Ordered an xs in the red. I’m 5’4, 130#. I guess it’s meant for taller girls and it hit at a weird place below my knees. Even if I were to have it hemmed, it’s just an awkwardly formed dress. Thought the halter top would be different. Don’t buy

Gorgeous dress!!

This dress is stunning!! The fit however, is off. The top is cut in an odd way. The plunge neckline is great, but it has a curve to it that prevents it from fitting close to the body. Will have to return it, because of fit issues.
