Stunning dress...
This dress is fantastic! I love that it looks like two pieces. The dress is very fitted and flattering. I did have some struggle with the zipper and needed to get help to get it zipped up, but this may just be due to it being worn many times. The dress looked great in pair nicely with a white blazer.

This dress is very elegant. Loved everything about it. It felt more like a size 6 than an 8.

Cute dress - runs true to size
Classy dress for work or Christmas events. I'm a 4 but rented size 6 of this dress based on other reviews. However, the 6 was too big and had too much fabric in the front. I would stick to your actual size.

Wore this for an interview. I flew in this dress, so the material was important that it didn't wrinkle or stretch. Worked out perfectly. Fitted through the bottom, so I'm glad I sized up (I have a booty).

I really liked this dress and found it very flattering. The 4 fit perfectly and was comfortable although the dress is fitted. The material, color, and bodice design definitely set this dress apart.

Thick yet figure flattering
This was a great fit! I am petite and it hit me just below the knee. Short bootie heels were perfect. The material is super thick so definitely for a cooler day. The fabric under the peplum top is a maroon mesh which helps keep you cool. It was a little difficult to find the right bra as a racerback will show in the back but a regular shows in the front due to the neckline. I was traveling and ended up just wearing a regular bra and was cognizant of keeping the straps tucked in. Was definitely work appropriate regardless.

Stylist Review
One of my favorite pieces by Paper Crown! The fabric has no stretch to it and would be best for all body types. This dress definitely runs small and for a looser fit I would recommend going 1 size up for the back up. There was little to no room in the bust area but this would still work for any cup size. This dress was very fitted throughout the midsection and curvier women with full hips should consider going 1 size up. This dress tea length as at 5'4 it falls right below my knee. Also, the arm area was very comfortable. I would pair this with a large necklace and a cuff bracelet.

Sexy but classy AF
This dress runs extremely small. I usually wear a 0-2 and the 4 fit me perfect with not an inch to spare. The dress was gorgeous, very high fashion, and flattering. It is a tad itchy, not bad though, and the top portion is fluffier than I expected, but I am considering buying it. It's s great deal for a great statement dress.

Cute work to dinner dress for Fall
I got a lot of compliments - it's an interesting dress. I'm flat chested so got by without a bra since it's got a racerback thing going a strapless bra would work best.

Bottom half ran small!
Disappointed that this dress did not fit. It was the bottom half specifically that I could not push over my hips and butt. The dress however was just what I was looking for. The fabric is a bit heavier than I thought. I would rent this again in the winter time.

This dress fit like a glove and I loved it. Love the style, the color, etc. the fabric was a bit itchy but I have sensitive skin. My belly pooched a little more than I would like but with spandex under it the rest was extremely flattering.

Cute dress! Hugs in all the right places accentuating the curves. Wore this to work and received a ton of compliments. Only reason why I didn't give it 5-stars is because I didn't love it, although it is still a very pretty & classy dress for work.

I loved this dress! The cut is amazing. Wear to feel like a million bucks. The only downsides were that it's a little tight in the bust, zero stretch and the material is a litte itchy but still worth it. The sizing was perfect though and I will rent again.

I typically wear a 4 but ordered the 6 after reading everyone's reviews. There is no stretch in the material. The 6 fit perfect. The only issue is this dress went inches below my knees. It's not made for petite ladies. It looked fine but would have been ideal to have 3-4 inches shorter.

Cute style but didn't fit quite right
I usually wear a size 6 but I could not even get the zipper up so I exchanged for a size 8. The lower half fit great and I thought it was flattering, but the top of the dress was a bit loose for me around the arm openings and I did a bit of adjusting and tugging throughout the day to make sure my bra wasn't showing. The fabric is comfortable -- stretchy and tweedy so it hints at fall. The style is for warm weather so it's a bit of an odd combo. I think it's a unique cute style and would have given it a 5-star if it would have fit me a bit better. I may try wearing again before returning with a sweater, but the flap detail would be hidden and that is the cutest part of the dress.

Super classy!
The bottom of the dress is snug (had some trouble walking up stairs quickly), but overall the dress is a great fit and very comfortable. I have gotten so many compliments on how classy and high quality the dress looks! The top part is very flattering so even though the bottom is tight, the draping really helps me feel more comfortable!

Second time renting this dress!
I love this dress! It is conservative enough for my formal work environment but also feminine enough to stand out (in a good way). The material is not itchy at all. I am between size 2 and 4, but usually rent dresses in size 2. For this dress I had to get a size 4, which fit perfectly.

Hard to zip alone
It fits great. Definitely a fall, early spring dress as the fabric is heavy and will make you very warm. Looks great when a woven weather over it. It was snug (I have a large frame) and hard to zip up where the pattern/fabric changes. The zip gets a bit stuck and if your zipping yourself it can be challenging. Overall I loved it.
