Very flattering fit!
Dress has a very flattering fit for a pear/hourglass body shape. I love the mesh, see-through, design in the front; it makes the gown more than a simple black dress.

5 star. Simple elegance for black tie wedding
This was my back up dress and I absolutely loved it. Very comfortable, has a little stretch in all the right places and the fabric is a great weight, not too thin.....walking, dancing and sitting friendly. Illusion detail along the waistline and lace along the neck. Built in shelf bra, but I wore a strapless for a little lift, no worries about bra showing. I'm pear shaped, 5' 3" - I wore 3" heels and length was fine. You can't go wrong with this dress.

Very flattering dress
Well made. This dress conceals tummy area even though it has a mesh panel, it is very flattering. Made from a good thick double layer material, doesn't show panty lines. Also has a built in lightly padded bra.

Gorgeous dress
I ordered this dress for a black tie optional wedding. When looking at the dress online, it looked like a plain black dress; however, when I got it in the mail, I realized there was beautiful lace around the midsection. This dress fit so well and was incredibly flattering on my curves. It was easy to dance in and tight enough (and padded) on top that I didn't need to wear a bra. I paired the dress with the Slate and Willow Eye of Pearl earrings and they were PERFECT! The earrings were so light weight and stunning, I highly recommend.

Classy black dress for a wedding
The material was very giving (though heavy) making it comfortable to dance in. It was a great dress for a wedding. Long enough for heels, no bra required. The middle section was a little looser than I wanted but it still looked great on.

Love this dress. It is amazing as it fits true to size. Wears great with a strapless bra.
This dress I wore to a black tie event and it's perfect. A little long on me as I'm 5'5 but with heels it was perfect.

Loved the way the dress swings.
Very comfortable. Stretched where it needed to and hugged where it needed too. I have a little pouch around my belly button and this dress did a good job hiding it.

Stylist Review
This dress was so beautiful and was surprisingly comfortable! There is padding in the bust, but you could wear a strapless bra with this gown. It actually fit me really well in the bust, so I'd recommend sticking with your typical dress size, but it was pretty loose around my ribs/waist. The length was perfect at 5'5" with heels on.

The event was a black-tie gala; typically a wide range of dresses are worn.
This dress is a classic, elegant cut. I wore the 6R and found that it runs true-to-size. I am tall (5'10") and it hit right at the ankle, which was perfect with heels. The dress is extremely comfortable. Easy to walk, dance, move, turn, sit! The only reason I rated it a 4 instead of a 5 is because the beautiful mesh insert at the waistline isn't quite as pronounced as it appeared online, making the dress appear more plain than it actually is. But, overall a really pretty gown!

Just right for a black tie wedding!
This was a 2nd choice dress when the original dress I reserved wasn't available. I was pleasantly surprised. This dress was very comfortable and a nice heavy material for attending a cold winter wedding. Despite the fact that the dress has padding, I DID wear a strapless bra for more support for my 38 DD bust. I wish the cut under the arm and the lower side of the bust area had come up and over just a bit more. From the waist down, the dress felt fantastic! No Spanx was needed & the regular length was just right for my 5' 6 1/2" height wearing 2" heels.

Lots of compliments!
This was a backup for a backup, but it ended up working well and I got lots of compliments. It's very comfortable and you don't need to tug, pull, or suck in throughout the evening. It photographs very well and the mesh part adds a little pizazz. My only complaint was that the "boob inserts" were wadded up inside the top, so it was difficult getting them straightened out and in their proper places. The sides cut in so it would be hard to wear a bra with this without it showing. I usually prefer to wear a bra, but I didn't feel uncomfortable without one on. Overall, this is a very nice dress!

It's got give!
Most of the dresses I rented, a total of 5 had no stretch, but this one did. Loved the built in boobie cup bra so no bra required! I am short and this worked perfect w three inch plus heels. I have big boobs so that's the hardest part for me in dresses is making the top fit. I am a 34DD and had to be zipped in by a friend. That being said, the dress would have gotten 5 Stars, but for wear and tear of over use on the zipper. This dress was sleek, perfectly not too fancy, but fancy for a Portlandia formal affair!

Watching something I had worked on for months actual happen!
Perfect length and super comfortable. Didn’t need to wear a bra because it had built in padding. Padding was a little twisted when I got the dress, but I was able to flatten it out.

Beautiful form fitting gown.
Fits true to size and is a beautiful gown. It is long, however. Needed shoes >3" tall so I opted to not wear it.

Very comfortable elegant dress.
The dress is very flattering and the details are pretty. The textile is thick enough to hide imperfections. I didn't need a bra.

Much more pleased than I expected to be with this!
I rented this dress fairly last minute, and when I opened it, I was underwhelmed, but the options had been quite limited, so my feeling was, "well I paid for this so I will wear it." However, it turned out to be a great choice. The fit was very good; my only comment was that it was a little loose around the edges of the bust area. It's quite flattering and fits just closely enough without being tight. The lace in the middle gives it that little "something." Super comfortable fabric and the length was perfect for me at 5'3". I would definitely wear this dress again as it was basic and flattering, but had just enough interest to get attention and compliments.

Pretty but strange fit
I don't normally need to wear "long" sizes but this dress was entirely too short so it threw off the proportions on everything else. Luckily it was my backup

Unflattering
This was a backup dress that was sent because my other choice was not available. It was very boring and extremely unflattering.

Didn't work for me
I didn't love this dress. The center cutout detail wasn't as prominent as I thought it would be though the body of the dress fit as it should have. The top was cut too narrowly for my chest (34DDD) and I couldn't have worn any type of bra and not have it show. I'd recommend to someone less busty!
