Joni Velvet Bow Strap Gown

Very high quality dress - feels luxurious and looks even better! Perfect for a garden party wedding. So many compliments!!

It's always a risk to rent a dress that has no reviews but this dress was worth the risk! Material - Because the dress is heavily embroidered, there is some weight and thickness to the velvet-like material. As such, this dress is more appropriate for fall/winter events. Also of note, in person the gold embroidery shines a lot more than what is shown in the stock photo. Fit/Style- Overall, this dress is a great fit and flare style with a little flow. While it does not have internal boning, the bodice is pretty structured/inflexible at the waistband and the material is thick enough you do not need to wear a bra underneath. You may need to pull the dress down your ribcage or you could use fashion tape or safety pins. The waistband hit me just above the belly button when I used the pulldown method and was tolerably tight. Overall, a beautiful dress perfect for a formal event.

I felt gorgeous in this dress, and I received many compliments throughout the night! I picked up the skirt a tad when I danced. The bows on the shoulders are sewed down and I wasn’t sure whether or not they should’ve been loosened, but they were cute nonetheless. Fitted around the waist and my girls up top felt secure!

Excellent for a fall/winter wedding, loved the fit!

wore this to a vow renewal ceremony - SO beautiful! the gold is shimmery, so would also be great for a holiday party.

Prefect formal wedding dress. Super comfortable. Great details and quality. I only wish I had a better picture wearing the dress. Compliments all night.

Kinda scratchy fabric, so if you’re sensitive to that, may not be the best option. Velvet straps with bows were super cute!

Both of the sizes fit me, size 8 and 10, though, there was more wiggle room in the 10 and I was sent in a dress that had been altered at the straps, which actually made it fit better at the bust compared to the 8. The 8 was pretty snug around the ribs, again, would have been fine, though knowing you eat and sitting, standing at a wedding, went with what felt comfortable with wiggle room for the 10. Straps again run big. The dress is soooo flattering on a Mom Bod figure, I'm 5'5 145 with 3 C-sections, if you know, you know. Lots of compliments as well! Highly recommend!

Wore this dress to a formal daytime wedding and it was perfect. The fit was just right and it was so unique and elegant

slightly snug for a 8 but looked gorgeous for a wedding

The print is elegant and classy. It fits perfectly like it was custom made for me. I got a lot of compliments all through the night. If the pictures doesn't amaze you enough... I can say that It is much more beautiful in person and when worn.

Sooo many compliments! Had to size up on this because no give in the waist. the pinch at the waist on the smaller size created an unflattering roll. Glad I picked the bigger size for my second pick.

I travel often for work and we have many evening events that are cocktail attire. This dress was lovely and did its job well. Received many compliments. I would rent again!

I wore a much larger size than usual because I just had a baby and am large! That said, this dress did a nice job of hiding leftover belly. Tighter in chest so I could wear a bra underneath, but material is thick and sturdy enough that I didn't need one. The gold is shinier in person than it appears in photos.

This dress would’ve been absolutely perfect in my size. They only had the 14 available when I am usually a 12 and can sometimes get away with a 10. It was gapping at the bust and waist. I tried it with a belt, but the fabric gathered too much. The straps with velvet ribbons also felt a bit flimsy, not as Luxe as they look in the picture.

A great option for a winter wedding! The skirt is fun to dance is because it twirls

Perfect for evening event

I wanted this dress to work soo bad! The pattern is gorgeous, and I love the green. However, as a smaller chested person, the fit was just too awkward and unflattering in the chest, with extra space.

Love this dress, but have a large rib cage so need to go up a couple sizes for it to fit.

This dress was so fun. It was lightweight. The zipper caught a little, but overall a easy fit and so cute. I got compliments all night.

One of my favorite dresses I've ever rented

Wish it had pockets! Was a little tight at the top for me, and there is no way to adjust the strap length. Still wore for a fall wedding and had a great time.

Fits tightly. Not suitable for larger bust sizes.

This dress was so beautiful, but very tight for a larger chest. I had to size up two sizes for a comfortable fit.

Didn't get s chance to wear this one, but the sparkle looks great on it!

I didn’t wear this as it was too big as I expected but the dress itself is very fancy and I love the velvet straps, for a fancier event I’d try this again in my usual size 2.

Pretty dress, but I thought the straps were adjustable which unfortunately they were not. Because of that the fit on the top was a bit odd

A gorgeous dress that came new with tags, but ultimately chose a different dress that fit me better around the waist. At 27” waist and 30E cup the 4 was too large and the 2 would have been a better fit.

Pretty fabric. The straps are weird but then again I didn't get to wear because it was too tight to zip up. Hopefully works for someone else.would make a great festive outfit.

top was too loose

Pretty fabric, but it was too puffy for petites. The shoulder straps are supposed to be bows, but they hang and just look messy.

Quality is good but this runs at least two sizes too big - I couldn't wear it

Fit well. Looked matronly so I didn't wear it

Right in waist but baggy in chest. Could not wear
