Classic comfortable black dress

Only thing I didn’t love was pulling it up over my head (no zippers)

The perfect black dress!

Wore this dress to a formal fundraiser event and I received so many compliments. The material is stretch and hugs in all the right places. I’m 5”1 and ordered a regular. Fit PERFECT with a 3” pair of heels.

Heat for maternity dress

Was part of the ceremony at a semi formal wedding. I was 29 weeks pregnant in this dress and it was easy to move in. Got loads of compliments. (Was heavier than 166 lbs in the photo but can’t remember how much I weighed)

Perfect for black tie!

Love this designer. Flattering fit, style and material is so comfy and very forgiving. Wore size 8 but could have gone 6. Perfect for a NYE formal wedding!

Flattering, elegant, and comfortable

This dress was perfect for me and my body type. I have “romantic” (Kibbe) body type complete with all the curves that come with it, and I wasn’t at my *ideal* weight for the ball I was going to at my college, but this dress couldn’t have been more flattering! It’s certainly fitted, but the material is spandex-adjacent in that it will stretch to accommodate all your curves! So happy with how it turned out

The comfort and great fit that allowed me to just relax and have fun all night!

I received so many compliments on my dress and was comfortable for over twelve hours from ceremony through after-party! I really couldn't ask for more from a dress. Would definitely rent again.

29 weeks pregnant + perfect!

Pleasantly surprised by this dress! I wore it at 29 weeks pregnant and it was super comfortable! Material is stretchy but thicker so it holds you in. I ordered the recommended size and one size bigger (wore the smaller one - the fabric was less bunchy). Also - I have an athletic lower half but this was super comfy (not too tight- could still sit down and felt good). I'm 5'7.5 and ordered the long - perfect length with 2-3" heels!

Stunning dress!

This dress was stunning! Pictures don't quite do it justice. It is very form fitting and flattering. The material is stretchy but thick. So you get the perfect fit without any lumps. I ordered my backup size as a size DOWN and could have worn it if needed because there was so much stretch. I received compliments all night!

VERY flattering dress!

Of the three gowns rented for fancy wedding weekend, this may have been the most flattering (photo taken morning after so excuse the exhaustion). The "under" material is basically like a big spanx so it was awesome. Very comfy to wear and the rooshing (sp?!?) was quite helpful also. Looked the five pounds thinner I had planned to be.

I have never felt so confident in a dress and my husband loved it.

This dress is AMAZING and was perfect for the black tie event my husband and I attended. I had always been hesitant to rent a dress because I am very petite and often need alterations done on the shoulders of dresses as well as the overall length. I read every review on this dress, decided to take a chance, and I am sooooo happy I did. I am not quite 5'1" but I wore a 40R and with 3.5" heels it just grazed the floor. A 38 might have been a slightly better fit on the top but it wasn't available and the 40 still fit me very well. The fabric is thick and stretchy and the ruching hid my not-so-tight "mommy tummy" just right. The dress doesn't have a zipper but I was still able to step into it so I didn't have to worry about messing up my hair. I absolutely loved this dress and did not want to return it!

Perfect tight black dress!

This dress is awesome it makes you fill tiny. Great fabric, perfect length for someone who is 5'7 and wearing 3-4 in heels, highly recommend - I have large boobs (ddd/e) also and the dress worked great. You can't wear any thing underneth the dress since it's so tight. But its the perfect dress for a black tie event!!

First time to rent and couldn't be happier!!

Dress is very elegant and fabric is amazing! The dress was perfect for our black tie occassion, and I received tons of compliments. It is also SO comfortable! I had planned on ordering the 44L and 46L but the 44 was unavailable as my backup size. The 46L worked but I believe the smaller size would have been even better. I wore 4" heels and the lenth was great. If youre not wearing really high heels, i wouldn't go with the long version. The stretch in the fabic seems to make the dress run a little big so consider going down a size. Can't wait to rent my next dress!

Fun evening

I rented this dress and another by the same designer for a formal ball. I LOVED this dress, but ultimately decided to wear the other because it was red, and I knew there would be a sea of black dresses. However, this dress is phenomenal! It made me feel sooooo sexy, and the online pics don't do it justice. The ruching is beautiful, and the sheer at the top is so pretty - hard to see those details well on the photos. I am 5'7", and even wearing 5 inch heels, the long still came over my shoes and skimmed the floor. Unlike some other reviewers, I was able to easily put this dress on by stepping into it. I will definitely rent this dress again and wear it next time I need a formal dress, highly recommend this dress !!

a lot of compliments in this dress! Would totally buy this dress.

The dress was tiny bit large on me but it still fit well. This dress is very flattering. To me there are no cons to this dress. The length was perfect for my height I’m 5’6” .

Hangs perfectly, holds you in beautifully

The drape and weight of this dress was classy and elegant. Perfect fit at the arm holes to help cover any bulges you might not like at the armpit area. Wore it dancing and it was comfortable all night. A heel is necessary as it is long, suggest at least 3”.

Great dress, very comfortable. I’m 5’9” and wore 2”-21/2” heels and the dress was perfect length

The straps are that see through material so you will need a strapless bra. I was complimented so much on this dress. I definitely felt like I looked great!

This was a backup for a black tie wedding - I almost went with it because it did fit well and was comfortable, but decided I didn’t want to wear black. It was an excellent option though!

Nicely made, flattering dress, easy to wear

Wore this to a formal wedding. It was very comfortable and flattering, hides lumps and bumps, and I was psyched I could wear a bra with it. It does come with some structure/padding but I prefer a bra. It definitely emphasized my curves, although I would've loved it if it nipped in more at the waist - I don't have a small waist at all, but I felt like it was a little lose there. There's ruching on the back that made my butt look amazing (TBF, it is amazing). It's a little longer in the back then the front, almost like a mini train. I wore maybe 4 inch heels and am short 5'3", and you could see my shoes in the front but not in the back. Wore the 42R size. Waist about a 32" and hips 44", 5'3", 163. Tried on the 44R size and it seemed to fit the same, just a little more fabric around the waist.

Great for short, curvy girls!

I wore this to a formal wedding and got a ton of compliments! I am 5 feet tall and 160 with all the curves. I shockingly wore the smaller size so that made me happy! It was very simple but with jewelry felt elevated. You need at least a 2-3 inch heel if you’re this short! It fit in all the right places and was very comfortable to wear. Would highly recommend!!

Beautiful and comfortable, travels well

Desperately wish this dress came in other colors. I hate black for weddings even black tie. Plus...boring. I've always wanted to wear this dress and because it was a fourth backup it was the one. Travelled well, very comfortable. Not zips just put over the head, has stretch and flattering.

Gorgeous and Super Comfortable Gown!

Wore this dress to a recent Gala/Fundraiser and it was a hit! My armpit area is where I lack the most confidence and I was afraid this dress would not cover my insecurities but the straps are much wider than I anticipated. Not only was it perfect for the occasion it was one of the most comfortable formal gowns I have ever worn! Could not remember this dress enough!

Hourglass for days

I am a short, curvy hourglass shape and this dress accentuated my figure in all the right places. The material is thick and sucks you in (I also wore shapewear) and the top was structured enough so that I didn’t have to wear a bra. (And I’m not usually one of those kinda gals that goes braless — like, ever.) This is a classically sexy, well-made gown. If you want to turn heads without being over the top, then she’s the one for you. Wore for a family photo shoot and it photographed beautifully.

This dress was great! I never thought I could wear my arms out. This dress looked great on and no zippers. I felt elegant and didn't need a lot of foundations to make it look great. I would get again.

Beautiful dress that helps hide any flaws!

Beautiful dress - very comfortable material. Does not have a zipper - is very stretchy but elegant. I ordered the 46R & 44R as a back up. I could not tell a size difference. The only issue was it has a bra insert of some sort that did not fit well with a bra. Best if worn without a bra but my breast sagged a bit so I wore a bra which made it look awkward in that area. I had to keep adjusting. You can see from photo the dress does not line up with my breast. Overall a beautiful dress if breast size is smaller.

Very flattering!

This dress has stretchy fabric, so the size is pretty forgiving! I wore shapewear and a bra underneath but you definitely don't need it! It's very comfortable for all night wear and the fabric gathers around the midsection which I appreciated! Very flattering! I highly recommend this dress!

Super flattering for a curvy figure. I’m 5’1”, 145 and I wore a 44. It fit so perfect and I had plenty of room to breathe. Even the regular length is quite long, so I had very high heels on. Highly recommend!!

Perfect in EVERY WAY!!! Absolutely stunning dress…hugs your body in all the right places!

The built in bra and stretch in the fabric makes it very comfortable, and the length is slightly longer in the back to give the dress a beautiful drape. I got so many compliments and felt like a princess! The quality is superior… I will definitely rent this designer again.

Amazing fit and profile

This dress is incredibly flattering and forgiving of sizing and fit. Attended a black tie wedding and didn’t want something too prom-dressy. I have broad shoulders and a small chest and was looking for a v-shape neckline. The weight of the fabric felt very secure and the gathering on the torso helped with adjusting the length and profile not to mention hiding the stomach pooch. I am normally size 8-10 and got the size 8. Honestly I feel as if a size up or down would have still fit fine. With the built in cups I didn’t need to get a bra. Received many compliments!
