I bought this lovely dress a few weeks ago in a medium. Typically, my 42" bust stretches out medium tops. This was my second dress purchase. It fit in the bust, but was too big in my 30" waist and 40" hips, to my surprise. I liked the pattern enough that I paid to have it altered, including hemming and sewing the slit closed. If I had it to do over again, I would have ordered a Small, which my body definitely is not. I would say you should go down a size, and the embellished neck piece does ... not lay flat. The material is fairly thin. In my area, I will not see anyone else wearing this dress, and it looks fabulous now.
I have returned this beautiful and comfortable dress for one size smaller. Haven't heard back from Boston Proper about the exchange. I hope the smaller size will fit perfectly.
I, too, would love for you to bring it back. I missed out but really would like one.
I purchased this dress in black. I love it. It's the perfect fit and so easy to wear. Dress it up with pumps or dress it down with sandals or even a pair of blingy sneakers. I would love to get this in other colors. The blue was sold out before I could snag it. I would love to purchase this dress in other colors.
I bought this dress on a whim, I certainly don’t need more clothes, I just happen to be a clothes horse. This dress is so pretty on. All the different laces give this dress eyeball appeal, and thankfully not as low cut as I thought it would be. The elasticized waist accentuates and gives the appearance of a small waist. Always a plus. I like that this dress can be dressed up with a heel and just right jewelry, or more casual with a flat sandal. Love, love, love this dress!
I bought this dress for beach family picture. This dress is absolutely gorgeous! If you are in between sized, I would recommend to size down. The sleeves are stretchy and so is the waist.
Beautiful dress material is soft fits great.
This is a very comfortable but sexy dress! Fit is true to size.
When I was buying the dress, I used the BP fitting guide, and it rated me as large, which was strange but I went with it. When I got the dress, it was fabulous but two of me could fit in! Otherwise it is a great dress, casual but very sexy, and very comfortable. I have exchanged it for a medium and still not sure it shouldn’t have been a small ... But I do look great :)
I have this in black and lavender. They are both great! The lavender is especially pretty and different. I did have to size down. I’m usually a small but the extra small is perfect. 120 lbs. 5’4”. It’s a great dress to have in your wardrobe.
I don’t have luck with online shopping... I thought I’d give this dress a try. Living in Florida I knew I’d wear it a lot if it worked! I’m 5’3.5” 160. Bought a large. Length is perfect, sleeves perfect. It’s a heavy weight fabric so it falls nicely. No cheap material. A bit boxy around waist so I’ll take it to tailor to take it in. I’ve learned tailoring is so worth it! No zipper so you have to pull over head. I never write reviews but was very happy with this dress so I thought I’d ... support the site. Don’t hesitate to buy it.
I have to disagree with some reviews. I found the dress to be exactly as pictured. I am 5'7" and weigh about 145 and have a 36D bustline. Now this dress have NO GIVE to it at all, so getting it over the ladies took a tug and a swirl which wasn't terrible, and once I did the rest of the dress fit beautifully. I bought a small, and although the top is snug it doesn't look bad at all, otherwise I would have returned it. It is a bit low for my liking, but a lace cami underneath solves that problem. ... It's flattering and just beautiful. Fabric is soft and the sleeves are comfortable. I love it, but wish it had a bit of stretch to it.
