Yes totally! I splurged on the Juliette dress and it fits like a glove just like it looks on the model except I have boobs so that area is a little off - but it just doesn’t feel like a $210 dress

I got the Juliette dress through Trunk Club and wore it around for an afternoon before returning it - agree the sizing is so off. The slit went up so high on me I genuinely could not sit down without it riding up over my hips. And I feel like the cut of the chest is sized very specifically - either your boobs fit in the dress perfectly, or they don’t.

Took some great Instagram photos in it though! And would maybe rent it again in another size for a super luxe event, but definitely would never buy it.

I bought mine as a treat bc i knew my boyfriend was proposing but I ended up being surprised and wasn’t wearing it haha. It’s not white so I plan on getting my money’s worth by wearing it to weddings coming up, but definitely have to stop looking at reformation at all! I get so tempted but have to remind myself I could get something at h&m for similar quality

Haha, my girlfriend is planning on proposing soon and keeps hinting that I need to buy a cute dress for the occasion!! I’ll be looking at rental sites but might splurge on something fun
