Beautiful Dress, Just Tricky for Larger Busts

Beautiful Dress, Just Tricky for Larger Busts
I fell in love with this dress the moment I saw someone reviewing it on Instagram — it looked absolutely stunning on them! When it arrived, I was so impressed by the fabric — it’s soft, high-quality, and has such a nice drape to it. It feels way more expensive than it actually is. The cut of the dress is super flattering, especially around the waist. It really cinches you in and gives you that hourglass shape, which I loved. However, if you have a larger bust, just a heads-up — it can be a bit more revealing than you might expect. I found myself constantly adjusting it to feel comfortable, and honestly, it just didn’t feel quite right on me. I think if you’re smaller-chested, it would sit perfectly, but for anyone bustier, you may want to consider sizing up or styling it with fashion tape or a bralette. I originally ordered the black and white color combo, but I found the contrast to be a little harsh on my light complexion and blonde hair — it just didn’t pop the way I hoped. I actually preferred the solid black color, which felt sleeker, more flattering, and easier to style. But even with that, I couldn’t quite get past the fit on my bust. Also, I kind of wished the sleeves were puffier to give it a little more drama — they have a slight puff, but it’s pretty subtle. I think a bit more volume would’ve really elevated the look. In the end, I ended up returning both — partly because the fit on my bust just didn’t work for me, and partly because I couldn’t quite justify the cost at the moment. But honestly, if you have a smaller bust or don’t mind showing a little more skin, this dress is still absolutely gorgeous and definitely worth trying! I’m a little sad it didn’t work out for me because it really is such a beautiful, well-made piece.

    It fit fine except in the bust. I am a 36 C and this dress had room for a way bigger bust. I’ll have to take it to a seamstress to tighten it at the shoulders or something or wear a tank top under it bc it just falls forward and has a lot of room at the back because of it. I’m 5’5 and 135 lbs and got the medium and other than the bust it fit fine.

    It is made with a skirt underneath so quite heavy for summer or spring. The material is very stiff so wrinkly always. It fit nice in bodice but sleeves were oversized and not normal puff sleeve for the rest of the fit on the dress. I returned.

    I love love love this dress! It is definitely my new favorite dress in my closet, and I have a lot of dresses. I don’t usually buy clothes off Amazon, but I saw someone wearing this dress on tik tok and just had to buy it. The quality is actually pretty good and I would not have guessed it came from Amazon. It shows a little more cleavage than I thought it would, but still very modest and flattering. I wore it to church and felt beautiful wearing it:) It was also very comfortable to wear. I got a small. I am 5”2 and 125lbs. I think I could have gotten an XS and still been okay. It does have a zippered front, but I honestly barely noticed it and thought it made the dress look better. It also didn’t unzip or anything at all. 100% recommend and can’t wait to wear again:)

    The fabric is heavyweight which is fine if that's the type of fabric you like, but the cut is ridiculous. I can't imagine who this would look good on, especially in the chest area. It's cut and sewn in a way that requires your chest to fit it, not the other way around. I wanted to like it, I tried several bras and adjusted a lot but it just does not look good. Very disappointed I missed the return window. It's so much money for something that isn't made to fit you.
    Color is fine, pockets are nice.

    I never write reviews but this was one of the best fitting dresses I’ve ever bought. Hits each point on my body perfectly and is amazingly flattering and comfortable. It fits one size larger than the chart, so go 1 size down. Beautiful cotton fabric. My only comment is the colour is yellowish beige not white but I don’t even care because it fits so well.
