Bought the floral fern green. The dress is absolutely beautiful, very flattering. I went up a size as recommended by other reviewers and it still was a little snug in the rib cage but im not going to return it, i'm taking it to a seamstress to adjust it. Don't know who Banana Republic's designers use for fittings but something has to change as too many customers are complaining about the same thing.

Size up. I am usually a 8-10 at BR and went with a 12 for this dress. I got it in black and it is very flattering.

I love this linen dress. I'm a size 6 and it fits perfectly as if it was tailored just for me. It's such a great style, I love how it crosses in the back. I definitely recommend this beautiful dress.

I love it, it runs small though, but is very flattering and comfortable. I got good compliments on it.

I usually wear an 8 or sometimes a 10 at Banana. Size 12 fits great in this dress for me. I am 5' 9" 160 pounds. Really pretty on. I got it for a summer wedding in black not sure about black for a summer wedding but the dress is flattering and seems like I would not be hot so I will keep it.

I'm 5'4 140 ish pear shaped and size 6 fit me perfectly… I sometimes have to go up a size of the skirt is straight and was hesitated before ordering, went with 6 because if it didn't fit, 8 would have too big on top for sure. If you are a bigger chest, I can see how that might be a problem, regardless if the skirt fits. I happen to have the opposite problem, this dress fits me perfectly.

As other reviewers mentioned, this dress is exceptionally small in the ribcage. I bought my normal size but was unable to button it up by several inches. I tried moving the buttons but it still doesn't sit right. It's a shame, as it's a pretty dress.

I usually love a good wrap dress and really wanted to love this one -- so pretty! However, as others noted, the ribcage fit is super tight (I'm normally an 8 or maximum 10 size, but even the 10 was really uncomfortable when buttoned up!). I think you COULD alter it by just having the two buttons moved. The neckline really plunges and reveals so much that I felt I would need to wear a camisole under the dress for coverage. All in all I would have to make so many accommodations with this dress that I decided to return it.

This is a very pretty summer dress but designed for people with small busts. It's a little complicated to try on until you figure out where the buttons are located. Will be returning mine.
