I am 5'7", 190lb, 36D i typically wear a size L or 12. I read reviews that said the top is very tight so I went with a 14 and it fits a touch snug in the very top still (just a lot of cleavage - but still wearable) and very average for a 14 in the waist (comfortable, not snug). True full length maxi.... If i was shorter I'd need to wear heels. I got the pink floral and I'm obsessed. I have not worn it out so not sure if the straps will be comfortable to hold me up for a longer period but if they do I might come back for another color since its hard to find dresses that hit me at this perfect maxi length.
I wear a Petite 4 or BR Small (5'2", 117 lbs, 34C), but this size 4 didn't work for my frame. The skirt is cool. It has plenty of volume and weight, though the fabric is heavier than expected and may be too warm for summer. The corset top, though, is tiny - I couldn't get the zipper past my waist. S...izing up for the top resulted in far too much fabric everywhere else. It's a nice design, but the proportions between the top and bottom are mismatched. Not for me.

This is a very flattering dress but it was challenging to find the right size. I'm 5'4 129lbs 34 or 36A. I tried on 3 sizes. Size 2 was perfect in the bust and length but too tight in the torso. Size 4 was more comfortable but too big in the bust. Size 6P fit in the torso and bust but it only came up to my ankle which changed the silhouette. It's still gorgeous but a disappointment because the length is what makes it look regal.

Beautiful dress, however it is disappointing that the company has chosen to eliminate dresses in true tall size. Hopefully they will realize that tall options are essential for those 511 and over, I am 6 feet tall and need the dresses to come in tall not Maxi size in regular length.

As others have stated, the top of this dress is very small. The only other Banana Republic Petite item that I have is a pair of jeans that I bought in size 28P. According to the Petite size chart for this dress, a 28in waist corresponds to a size 6P. I could not zip up the 6P. Returned and bought the 8P. It zips up, but it's quite tight and hard to breathe. Returned and bought the 10P, and it's finally comfortable and fits well enough to keep. The petite length hits my ankles, which is perfect.

The dress is beautiful. It fits really tight in the bust. The cut is very flattering. The dress is worth the money.

The black dress is what I like to call simple chic. The fabric elevates it enough to be able to dress it up for a nice event. I am 5'4, 135 lbs, 34b, 28 waist and normally wear a 4 in BR. I ordered a size 6P and the only thing "con" is that the dress isn't as long on me as it is on the model in the black dress. Not a dealbreaker, will be keeping.

Only four stars because I was hoping it would be floor length. However It goes to just about my ankles. I'm 5'8. Otherwise fits like a glove no complaints. Quality is 10/10. Will be perfect for summer and my Europe trip.

I definitely agree with the other reviews to size up for the chest area. I went 1 size up my usual size and it was still very snug. I ended up returning because the quality was not worth the price in my opinion, and I even got it on sale! The line between the top and the skirt also makes it seem more casual and less dressy.

A stunner! The corset is the perfect cut and super flattering; the voluminous bottom is utterly fun and feminine! A sexy yet demure dress; a modem classic! Summer perfection!
