I'm 5'7", 142 lbs and more leg than torso. The vneck elongates my upper half and the sleeves balance the length nicely. Plus a sleeved summer dress is hard to find! Tabbed sticky cakes work perfectly if you don't have a low cut bra. I added one stitch to lessen the plunge. It's soft but has a very slight sheen that takes it up a notch from super casual linen. Pair with heels for a summer wedding or thongs brunch and the farmers market. The green was fine without a lining.

I read the reviews regarding how small this dress runs. I don't agree. I usually wear a size 0 but purchased a 4. I should have gotten the 2. If you do not have large breast, it will be too large in the top. Every time I order according to the reviews, I regret it. I think knowing your body type is so important when deciding fit. If you can swing it, I suggest ordering 2 sizes to see for yourself. Anyway, the dress is beautiful! I will get it altered in the chest and as well as the waist for it to fit the way I prefer. I ordered the green and don't mind the sheer look.

This dress is beautifully made and the proportions are perfect. I only wish the bottom was partially lined. I can't wait to wear it!

I originally ordered 4P in beautiful green color. They were out of 6P in green so ordered in the tan. 6P fits great - my measurements are 32/26/32 at 5'3". Wish i had in green so I will keep my eye out for re-stock in Petite. But the tan is very neutral and elegant also.

This is such a lovely dress with a beautiful cut, but unfortunately, I had to send it back. While the style is elegant, there are a few practical things to keep in mind: Sizing: It definitely runs small. I am 5'3" and 116 lbs, and I ordered the 4 Petite. While the overall fit and cut were nice, it was slightly tight under the bust. If you are between sizes you may want to size up. Fabric: The linen is quite light and sheer. You will definitely need to wear a slip underneath it for coverage. It's a gorgeous piece if you can get the fit right, but the weight of the fabric and the snug bodice made it a "no" for me this time.

This dress is beautiful. I am really torn about what to do. I bought 2 sizes because of the reviews. I usually wear a 0 or 2. The zero I couldn't even begin to zip it up. I managed to zip up the 2 partially but it was so tight across my ribs I could barely breath. If I ordered the 4, I think the bust would be too big and fall off my shoulder. Really too bad because it is a very flattering dress.

Upsized, and still couldn't zip it up above the empire waistband. Pretty disappointing that it didn't work, as I loved the color. The zipper seemed to stick even when I wasn't in it.

Great color. I have 26 inch waist and I got a 4P but will need to exchange for 6P, due to tight waist/underbust. I'm 5'3" and the petite is perfect length.

However. You HAVE to size up. This is cut very small in the bust. I've noticed this shape is always cut small so I ordered 2 and returned the smaller one. BR sizes are all over the place recently. It's frustrating

Size up at least 2 or more. Sized up to 8 from my normal size 6 based on reviews. But still very tight and barely can zip up around underbust/waist. Will try 10 to see how it works.
