Best Cocktail Dress

Work to a work event requiring cocktail attire, and it was perfect!! I ordered the L and XL (normally a 10 or 12 in jeans), but wish I had the M to try. It was a little low cut, and a tighter dress could have been better. That being said, I wore it anyway, and it was still fabulous!!! Received lots of compliments. A little baggy in the chest for me and the straps were too long. Other than that, great fit!

Beautiful dress for a formal wedding

This dress was amazing, I actually normally fit into a 6; but this time the 8 fit better. It was a bit low cut so I had to pin my bra to the dress. I got lots of compliments.

It was meant to be worn for an Oscar Luncheon

It fit perfectly, it was extremely comfortable, easy to walk, in soft but still in an elegant fabric. At the end I found an other dress that I liked better, that was more fun, and more "me" but I might rent this for an other occasion.

It was a surprise dinner party for my birthday.

The dress fit perfectly and it was very comfortable to wear. The fabric is soft and sturdy. The sequins kept catching my hair but that’s to be expected since it’s pretty long. I like how the sequins add some pizazz but they’re not super loud or obnoxious. Very subtle. Classic.

Classy AND Sassy !

I am usually a 4-6 in dresses across the board, so I ordered this one in a small. For reference I am 5'5, and a 34C. I got the medium as my back-up size but I didn't end up needing it! Some reviews said the dress was hard to dance in, but this was not the case for me! It had the perfect amount of stretch and structure where I felt like I could breathe, was held in, but also could dance all night! I received tons of compliments, and will definitely rent this one again in the future!! 10/10!!

Felt beautiful in this dress!

This dress is beautiful and elegant. It fit well and is great for an hour glass figure. It was also comfortable to wear and I felt beautiful in it! As soon as I tried it on, I knew it was the dress for me. I'm only 4'10 and the length was perfect for me.

Loved it

Don’t mind my messy bathroom!! Fit like a glove and the paneling accentuates everything just right. A little too long for me at 5'2" b ut heels helped. Wore this for NYE and had a lot of fun. Lots of compliments.

Great cocktail or formal dress

Loved this so much I bought it since I go to a fair number of formal events. The material was a bit stretchy/ so really comfy. Only beef was it was a touch low cut.

Hot in Harlem

I loved this dress, it fit me perfectly and was a hit for the harlem nights theme. The large was a little long for my 5'3 frame, so I had to wear 4 inch heels, but other than that I have no complaints. The picture does not do it justice, it really is a stunner on.

Fabulous dress to show off your curves

I wore this to a formal attire wedding and felt fabulous! The material is maybe a little heavy if the weather is really warm. It shows alot of cleavage, but it went with the curvy, fun feel of the dress. I had to wear a strapless bra, as the top wasn't quite sturdy enough to hold everything in place. I would definitely rent again, received alot of compliments!

I was comfortable in the dress

Rented the dress for elegant night on cruise. The dress was beautiful and comfortable to wear. Fit was true to size for me. The only con was the sequins kept snagging my hair. Outside of that I loved it. The detail down the front of the dress crested a nice silhouette. Thank you!

Dress The Population Wins Again!!

I'm a 6/8 now due to weight gain. Unsure of my sizes so ordered L. Could have gone with M and Spanx. Still was beautiful. Fabric is nice weight with structure. Flounce moves beautifully. Beading down middle hides flaws in belly area. Length is flattering and easy to move in. Will rent again and try M next time

Comfortable!

Received lots of compliments while wearing this dress. Very comfortable and was just the right amount of formal but comfortable. Got to wear full spanx and no bra so that was a win. Fit nicely and was tea length. 5'3.5", 163 lbs, 36D bra size

Perfect Wedding Dress!

Loved this dress. Very form fitting and hugged all my curves. I went with the large only to give myself some breathing room. The medium fit but it was a little uneasy trying to sit down. I am a size 8/10 and 5'8. So the dress was perfect for me and fit true to size.

This dress is GORGEOUS!

I ordered another dress for this wedding but it did not work so they sent me this one instead. I ordered a XL and XXL but they sent a L and XL. Thankfully the XL fit perfectly. I am short and curvy with huge boobs so I have a hard time finding clothes that work for me. This is supposed to be tea length but it was longer on me since I am only 5'2". This dress was gorgeous. It hugs your curves in all the right places. I could have gone without a bra but wanted to extra support. The material was thick enough that you couldn't see my spanx lines but not so thick that it made it too hot to dance. The sequins are placed where they won't both you!

Love this dress!

I rented this dress for "elegant " night on a cruise vacation. This dress fits true to size and hugs your curves in all the right places. I am short in the torso at 5'2" and wish the straps had been adjustable as they were a little long but not enough to keep me from loving this dress! Would consider purchasing.

Cute but odd length

The fit of this dress was awesome but with me being 5’2 the length was just awkward for me and kept me from wearing it. Maybe if I had taller heels it would’ve worked. I think on a slightly taller person it would be fabulous.

Gorgeous dress! Size up if hippy

I loved this dress! I wore to a gala with a glitz and glam theme. Like other Dress the Population dresses I’ve rented, i size up. Normally a size 12…the L fit but was very tight in the hips and butt. The XL perfectly skimmed! You can wear a normal strapless bra…I needed it to fill out the bust more but if you are busty already you may not need a bra.

Beautiful dress and flattering fit.

I’m new to sequins, and this dress has just the right amount of shimmer and shine. I loved the flare at the bottom and the flattering cut at the top. No complaints here. If I had bought this dress, I’d wear it again.

Curve hugging, comfy to wear because the fabric has just enough stretch. The sequins are not sharp so it's gentle on your (or someone else's!) skin

The dress is true to size and not itchy at all. It's just the right amount of sequins for a formal dinner without being overly flashy.

Flattering and high quality

Tons of compliments on this dress - it hugged curves and was comfortable for the most part. Sequins scratched on my skin a bit but it wasn't annoying enough to register during the event. I did a stick on bra but could have skipped one as well.
