"I loved this dress and it was really flattering. I wore a small and am a 32c so it was very tight in the bust for me with really no give. I was lucky to be able to zip it up, but needed some double sided tape to ensure things stayed secure during the wedding. It was also quite long; I am 5'5 and had to have about 3 inches taken off the bottom to wear with 2.5 inch heels. But overall I really loved the cut and subtle drop waist."
"The dress fit oddly even after following online measurement recommendations. After returning this you lose a large sum of money for shipping and “restocking fees. ” I don’t feel like the price of this dress properly reflects the quality of the dress. I would never order from this site or recommend to anyone."
"This dress is so pretty. It’s my second Park and Fifth dress this year. I’ve found their sizing to be quite strange. I ordered my usual size small in this dress, it’s insanely tight in the chest (I have zero boobs), but loose in the stomach area. I’m keeping it because I’m a bridesmaid and the bride approved, it’ll be fine but it could be better."
"Absolutely in love with this dress!! I’ve noticed they tend to run slightly small so i ordered a size up in this one and it’s a bit too big so i would say if youre wanting this dress, order your normal size. Super great quality!!"
"This dress is stunning, and the details matter. The level of quality exceeded my expectations and It fits comfortably, like a glove and is beautiful. I can't wait to wear it to my sisters wedding!"
"This is a beautiful formal dress that feels like silky pajamas! I’m barely 5’4” and needed alterations to hem the length and the seams in the top are somewhat off on me, so I’ll need a push up bra…. But I’m happy with my purchase!"
"I'm glad I tried this dress on because I ended up liking the cut much more than I thought I would on myself. The neckline is super flattering. I was unsure about the seam across the thigh area but I also liked it once it was on me. I'm 5'7 and it's still very long on me so will need to be hemmed but otherwise fits true to size"
"Very disappointing experience. Tried on the dress in store and the one I received does not fit the same at all."
"The waist, back and chest is almost a size different than the waist down. You need the XS bottom to go with the cut of the Small top. And this is on a very thin person. So we had to buy the size Small for the inch needed at the back/waist and now we have to alter the bottom to fit. The small has so much fabric making the dress too wide. Length is very long especially for a 5’10” person. If it wasn’t purchased for a wedding party I would purchase a new dress brand. Dress is pretty they just need better proportions. Cost to return is ridiculous, too."
"My dress fits perfectly, just need to hem the length which was expected. Beautiful gown, would definitely buy another dress from Park & Fifth!"
