I’m 5ft 127ish lbs. I choose to go 2 sizes down and order the x-small since I wanted a tighter fit in the chest area (dress still stretches out very nicely). Very happy with my purchase! Be wary of the arm elastics- if you can’t stand it being somewhat tight, I recommend only sizing down by 1 size!

The Lani is a staple in my closet! Perfect for every day wear and can be dressed up or dresses down. The fabric is so dreamy and all of the colors are gorgeous!
Alisha H.
This is the dress I wear when I need that simple and clean look. This is not a little dress, this is your I came to support you dress and made sure I looked good on your behalf dress. 10/10 recommended for those less flashy occasions.

The Lani dress is my favorite everyday dress! What I love about it: the fabric and feel of it, the length, the silhouette, it is nursing and maternity friendly, the smocking and length of it, and the colors. The only thing I will mention is that the elastic around the arm is a little tighter than some of the other Ivy City puff sleeve dresses. Love this dress!
Kayla P.

You can size down in the Lani. I can’t wait until it gets chillier outside so I can wear all of my beautiful lani dresses
Mariya V.
This dress is nice but doesn’t look good on me. It would looking better on tall girls. I had to return it. Runs a little big.
Elise D.
I LOVE the dress. I can struggle with how I look in clothes, but this dress makes me feel confident and pretty. So glad I purchased!

I needed a comfortable and versatile dress for nursing and pregnancy but also for life after all those moments and with the Lani, ALL OF THE ABOVE IS WHAT I GOT! Comfort, style and designed with a mama in mind! Love this dress!
E E.
Didn’t like it enough to keep, I think the black just wasn’t flattering on me as I hoped. Otherwise very cute dress, wearing the XXS.
Alona T.
Best black dress in my closet ❤️❤️
Great fabric and absolutely perfect design. I love this dress so much
Janice V.
I couldn’t decide if I wanted to try this dress since it’s “just a black dress” I was so wrong! My favorite black dress! You can stay TTS or size down one since the smocking is a little loser fit. The fabric is not heavy at all and is just the perfect black dress for any occasion or season.
Brooklyn J.
I love the Lani! I would buy all the colors if I could haha so perfect for summer!
Rebecca J.
Beautiful twirly fun style. This is so cute! It’s on my packing list for European adventure. Fits true to size.
Carlie P.
Love the smocking on this dress - it’s so comfortable and flattering.
Crystal B.
Love this classic black dress! The fabric is high quality and it’s just a great comfortable dress. I hemmed off a few inches off the bottom just because I’m a shortie and the longer length looked a bit too gothic for me.
Alona T.
Super comfortable dress !
Haley L.
I typically wear a medium in other brands, sized down to small and do not regret it! I feel great in the small. Love the full lining. Wore the dress a few times in Scotland and was comfortable in both cool and warm temps. Many compliments!
Rachel R.
This is one of my favorites. I get compliments every time I wear it. It’s flowy, the material is beautiful, and the fit is flattering for curvy girls.
Taylor W.
Gorgeous! My new fave so comfy and cute for any occasion
Emma I.
Love the dress. Very floaty and pretty
Lani T.
Love it!ordered a M and fits perfect
Brieanna P.
I needed a plain black dress that was cute while still being comfortable. This dress was perfect! It is lightweight, flowy, and perfect for the summer weather. I am usually a medium (size 8), but I went down to a small in this because I didn't want it to look oversized. The arm bands are a little snug on me in the small, but I love how the rest of it fits.
Karen G.
I love the simplicity of this dress and how it can be dressed up and down. Since the smocking is so stretchy, you can size down if in between sizes.
Emily C.
I looove this dress. I was looking for something to wear in September when I go to Italy and the lani will be perfect! I can dress it down to walk around the city and it will be airy enough that I won’t get too hot. So excited to wear it
Chelsea C.
Everything about the dress is perfect! It has the perfect flow and I love the slightly puffy sleeves!
Miho D.
Every women have to have this in their closets. Perfect everyday dress! I don’t have to worry about the dress gets stain haha
Kiersten W.
The cutest little black dress! I love that the Lani silhouette in black is so versatile. You can dress it down with sandals or sneakers and you can dress it up with heels and pearls. Its my go to black dress. I bought my tts large, but you could definitely size down.
Cierra H.
One of my top favorite silhouettes and material! So comfy and cute, and easy to dress up or down. Own this dress in all the colors! Highly recommend! True to size for me as a plus size 3X woman. Love how size inclusive this brand is!
Krista M.
The perfect staple dress for your wardrobe!! Love love love this dress!!
Chloe E.
New favorite go to black dress! Can be dressy or casual. Love it!
Allyson N.
Beautiful dress, but I ended up returning it because it was too large. I followed the size chart and it ended up being too large for me. I tried to exchange it for a size smaller, but Ivy City ended up giving me a refund instead. Oh well, I guess this dress wasn't meant to be.
Kersten B.
My daughter absolutely loves this beautiful, stunning and very well made dress.
Megan P.
Could have sized down, plenty of stretch, but still looks good on (not to big). Super comfortable and flowy!
Melissa B.
Love love love this dress. It’s so comfortable. An everyday type dress that no matter what makes me feel like a princess. Definitely a 10/10.
Kedron V.
OBSESSED with the Lani. The fabric is is so soft and silk like … different from other Ivy City Co Smocked dresses! I sized down 1 size with still plenty of comfort and room!
Czara .
I can see why everyone LOVES this silhouette. It is so flattering and comfortable. I wore it on a muggy rainy day, and it was the perfect combination of high quality fabric but still light and airy. I love the lining! Also great design that is nursing friendly. I sized down to an XXS and it fits perfect. I’m 5’0, 121lbs and 34B for reference.
Sarah G.
I LOVE this dress so much I HAD to buy it in black too, and the material is still just as comfy. Size down if in between sizes since there is a lot of stretch, and it’s longer than I thought it would be. I’m 5’4 for reference wearing a small
Tricia m.
STAPLE PIECE! Dress it up or down! And be so comfy the whole time! I got a
Medium since it has so much stretch. I wear this so often!
Cristina L.
Great quality, comfortable and cute!
Lana R.
Love these dresses got 4 of them for my daughters too. Great quality! Love the style
Shannon M.
One of my absolute favorite along side the cream Lani! Love love love this dress! This one is a very flattering and forgiving style. It 'runs big' you absolutely could size down but I personally enjoy my true to size fit. It's personal preference I think. Highly recommended getting at least one of the Lani's, you will NOT regret it!!!<3
AMY B.
Another great Ivy city dress
Jessica P.
Love this little dress! ☺️ It is very light and breezy, it's an awesome 'anytime' outfit.
I sized down after reading reviews and it was a good choice. Very happy!
Melissa
Adored it so much in cream, had to get it in black! Love how comfortable and versatile this dress is. I got it in an XXS, fits true to size and for reference I'm 5'4", waist 26 and bust 32.
Lily V.
Love so much! Honestly didn’t think I would love the sleeves but once I saw the dress on me, I didn’t want to take it off. Definitely true to the size.
Katherine N.
Perfect dress for the warmer months. Cute, comfortable, and flattering
Chrissy T.
Love how versatile this dress is the fabric feels lovely
Amber P.
I wished I would’ve sized down. I’m normally a 2x but this one slides off my shoulder. This dress is SUPER comfortable though. I love everything about it.
Ivanna J.
The smocking on this dress runs large, you can go down a size, maybe even two. It’s the perfect dress to either dress up or down!

This is a horrible picture but this dress is phenomenal. So comfy and perfect.

The Lani in black is EVERYTHING! I’m obsessed and it’s a bit stretchier so I sized down in this dress. It’s also so comfy! You need this dress!

Great black dress! It’s lightweight and soft. Pockets would make it perfect but I still love it!

Bought this color in cream and immediately knew I needed the black. Such a great neutral and summer staple! I love that the smocking is a little longer on the lani dresses.

Jazmin Z.
I’m gonna be wearing this dress year round!!! So light and perfect for the summer. I got the xs and it fits like a glove. I’m usually a size 4-6(true small) and the small was a tad big, but the xs is perfect. I’m 5’2, 135lbs for reference ❤️

IT IS PERFECT! My favorite dress. Very lightweight and flattering! Wearing it to Disneyland and I am very excited. I did size down.

Vidita C.
The Lani dress in black is a MUST. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t need it! I mean it’s the classic staple that won’t ever go out of style. I’m obsessed! Got my TTS but you can size down if you’re smaller on the bust.
Lana R.
Very beautiful Lani dress ! Quality is great! Fits good!

Jenn
The softest fabric! I'm in love!
Jessica H.
This dress is so beautiful! I am so happy they came out with a black dress in this style! It's light weight and comfortable and easily dressed up or down. I sized down for a more fitted feel but you could definitely do your regular size in this. There is so much stretch!
Nicole U.
The Lani is black is wayyyy better than I ever expected, I wasn't even sure I should order it and am SO glad I did. Perfect, comfiest casual black dress!! Don't sleep on this one!
Maimona
Okay, yes I had to buy the Lani dress in three colors. I'm obsessed. The black is such a nice staple piece. The fit is generous and smocking makes it very easy to wear. This is a size small and I usually get S/M.
Amy G.
I got my tts! It’s such an effortless dress! So comfy and easy to throw on. Black is my favorite so far, I’ve been waiting on a casual smocked black dress! (Previous review didn’t post with pic)
Amy G.
I got my tts! It’s such an effortless dress! So comfy and easy to throw on. Black is my favorite so far, I’ve been waiting on a casual smocked black dress!
Cassandra M.
This dress is the best. It’s sooo comfy! I got tts xxl and it’s big enough I could totally size down but I really like that it’s a little more roomy.
Highly recommend this one!
Tarina G.
The Lani in Black exceeded my expectations! It is such a perfect dress. Cotton, breathable, and the perfect balance of heavy and lightweight. I always size down in smocked dresses, so I am wearing a Large. It is so beautiful with so much breathing room. Perfect for wearing around the house, running errands, any so many occasions! I think it would be amazing styles with a kimono.
