I love the material as its slightly thicker and did not appear to show lines or be see through. I did end up shortening dress to my knees, vs mid shin. Fit is as expected.This dress fit like a glove, without a bra! I’m 5’2”, 125lbs, hourglass 37”x 28”x 37”. This dress was a long midi on me, which increased the formality. I made no alterations and it fit like a glove! Not loose, not tight and I was comfortable dancing for hours, without fear of slippage! Beautiful and impeccable quality! I will buy Dress the Population again! Worth every penny!I’m 5’4” and around 118 lbs, “rectangle shaped”, athletic, small chested. Ordered both XS and S. I’m probably between sizes. The XS is very tight in the waist. I can zip it but it’s not very comfortable. Fits well in the chest and lower body. The small fits my waist perfectly but is a little roomy elsewhere. I’m keeping the small so I can actually eat and dance at the event I’m going to.It’s a gorgeous dress and I think with a tiny bit of tailoring and the right bra it’ll be perfect.I love this dress and have it in a couple colors but the length is just way too long on me. I’m 5’5/5’6 and the dress hits below mid calf for me. Since it’s not particularly narrow at the bottom of the dress, this isn’t a flattering place for it to hit, so I’ve had to have it shortened by a tailor.I love this dress. I had the busom tailored so that I don't have to wear a bra. I bought a large size. "Snatched his soul."I am not top heavy , but the dress didn’t fit. I am 5’11, 150/36 c . I normally wear a dress size 6, & ordered an 8 in this. I couldn’t zip from waist up and the bottom was too loose, just an awkward fit.This dress fits a bit small. My normal size fit, but barely. I could’ve gotten away with it. I returned it and did not Order the next size up, so I don’t know if that would’ve been a better fit.I didn’t feel like shopping in stores but had another dress of this brand already. It was so easy to just pick out what style I wanted since I already knew what size. Gorgeous cart and plunging neckline. Formfitting and high-quality fabric. Love this!Thick material. Decent quality. I recommend hemming the straps to bring it higher up. When I did that the dress just had a better look to it.Too loose in the armpit.....too tight in the waist area...cannot close the zipper
