This is another beautiful LBD-- fabric is medium weight and the dress fits nicely-- snug but not too tight. Great for curvy figures but all figures really. Sorry I don't have a picture with the dress on by itself, but you can see the neckline and where it hits for my height. I also have very wide hips if that helps :-) Loved this dress and would definitely rent it again!

Slimming and body-hugging fit, but not skin tight. Just loose enough to keep it classy. Thicker material. Fit like a glove!

Loved this dress so much! I wore it to a fall wedding and I got so many compliments. The dress does not have a lot of stretch so getting in feels a little tight, but once on, the fit is very flattering. Would highly recommend this dress! 

This dress was perfect for a business awards... classic but with great detailing 



This is fitted but not uncomfortably so (in fact, I found it very comfortable). Runs true to size, and it is lined.  It's on the longer side, so that, with the high neckline, gives it an overall conservative feeling even though it's curvy. A note on length: I'm 5'6" and it fell maybe a 1/2 inch below my knee, so it might be too long if you're shorter. I wore this for a client meeting at work, but would work for any occasion where a conservative look is appropriate. 

I loved this dress. I would buy it if I could find it. The length would be great for a variety of heights. I would normally only wear shorter dresses since I am petite, but this length was very flattering because it’s so narrow. It definitely runs small. Super comfy too!

This dress was a perfect fit and SO comfortable! I didn't want to send it back! 

Love this dress!! It fits like a glove and I got lots of compliment. Great for work and a night out! 

Wore this dress to cater in. Fabric and cut are nice. The ruffle on the bottom gives it a fun and elegant situation. I'm a size 4 and wore the 4. The dress was a little tight in the shoulders for me becasue I have broad shoulders, but the rest od the dress fit great. Will rent again 

I wore this to an awards banquet in December.  It was just the right amount of coverage and class for the occasion.  The dress was stretchy as the other reviewers mentioned, so I felt comfortable sitting all evening.  The solid color with a little bit of interest in the hemline made it easy to dress up or down.  I would definitely rent this dress again and think it could be worn to a variety of functions.

This is a tight fitted dress that I found to be very flattering - and I don't usually feel that way with form fitting dresses! It's a really nice material with a slip attached inside that's nicely form fitting. The sleeves are a little tight but slimming. The pleated/flowy bottom balanced the look and was fun for dancing. The length worked for my height, I wore a small 2" heel. I wore a simple necklace but it could also be worn with a really fun statement necklace. I liked this dress a lot and would recommend for the price! 

I rented this for work and loved it - got so many compliments from my coworkers. I probably could have sized down but the small was fine and didn't look too big. Would definitely rent this again!

I wore this dress to a funeral. It was perfect for this event since it was modest and very comfortable. I wasn't cold at all (even though I often get cold, even inside). I wanted to rent a size Medium, but it was not available for my dates, so I wore the small. It fit well, but was snug, and I would have preferred at little more room due to the occasion. For a date night though, it would have been perfect! I would definitely recommend this dress! 

Fit wasn't perfect, little snug on the arms, but I liked that because it made my arms look smaller! Very comfortable and perfect for the occasion. 

It fit just right . If you are curvy you may want to consider wearing spanx . It has give in the fabric but you can also see you're lumps more readily because of the type of material. The ruffle like hem is a very pretty detail. You can dress this up for a nice evening on the town, or even wear it to the wedding. I wore this to work and felt very pretty in it. I would definitely want this again. For the price it would even be worth buying to have in your closet for any occasion.

This is a gorgeous LBD with something special on the pleated skirt. Loved the way it fit in every way! I will be sad to send this one back. Very flattering, snug on the arms and the nicely snug on the toosh! Many compliments all day!

Wore this to an important work meeting, loved it for so many compliments! 

One of my favorites to date. Great LBD for conservative or work event. Very stretchy fabric so would be great for any bust size or body type. Would recommend usual size for this. 

Really loved wearing this dress, wish I could keep it! Rented it for a work function. I rented the Small with a Medium as my back-up size. The Small was snug but comfortable as the fabric has a slight bit of stretch to it, so I went with that. The medium also looked nice, so I would suggest sizing up for the back-up size if you're looking for something slightly less body skimming. Received several compliments throughout the night. I wore a large cocktail ring and sparkly necklace, but I could see so many accessories working really well with this garment. The ruffled hemline adds the perfect amount of visual interest to elevate this dress from a basic LBD. Would totally rent again. 

The fabric has a little bit of give to it.. it's great for my body shape where my hips are much bigger than my upper body. I'd definitely rent it again.

I typically wear a size 4 dress  - opted for a size medium based on size reviews.  Overall, dress fit great and was very comfortable.  Perfect for a full day of work events - was in the dress for almost 12 hours, it transitioned well from daytime to an evening event.  I will note the dress is made of a heavier material so it is better suited for colder months.  Would rent again!

Loved this dress, the reviews I read were very accurate and I was worried about the fit but it worked great!  I wore this for Christmas Eve party and midnight Mass.  I'm usually a size 10 so the Large was great.  I am very straight up and down (lack of curves), might've looked even better if I had hips.  I got compliments all night.  It felt like a very classy but beautiful dress - plain on top so I paired it with a fun statement necklace.  Also loved the sleeves!  The material is very thick so even if it is tight, it is forgiving and won't show every lump and bump.  Length was great - but if you are shortish it might be very long on you.  

Loved this dress!  My uncle had died unexpectedly and I needed something to wear to the funeral.  Never though I would be renting for that but it worked out and this dress was perfect for the occasion. Overall the dress fit GREAT.  I wore it with minimal accessories because of the event but the dress could totally be accentuated and made more festive with a great necklace or something.  I am 5'2", about 133 pounds, 36C, and overall curvy.  I wore the medium and got the large as a backup because some others had said the dress runs small.  Didn't even try to large on because the medium literally fit like a glove.  Would love to own this dress actually and still thinking about purchasing it!  RTR with another win (this will be my 3rd or 4th rental within the last year and everything but one dress has been phenomenal!!).  

The dress is beautiful! The material is form fitting (but stretchy) so I was comfortable all night. I got so many compliments and felt sexy and beautiful.  I'm so glad I picked this dress because my boyfriend proposed that night! Perfect night, perfect dress!! 

I should have read the reviews before renting an xs. It does run small and although I was able to zip and it looked great- I didn't feel super comfortable. I will definitely rent again but will size up this time. 

I love how versatile a classy lbd is and this dress was quite the classy piece. I actually wore it for two events, first to a symphony concert, and then later going out to '20s night at a club. The long and lean pencil shaping, with the flowing pleated hem made for a great flapper dress!

This dress is made of a thicker material, so it's great for winter events. The hem moves beautifully when you walk. It keeps an otherwise plain dress interesting, elegant, and fun.

Despite the material being thicker, the dress does have give to the lower half and accommodates wider hips well. I don't think the top had had as much stretch to it, but I have a small chest and narrow shoulders, so I felt comfortable and not constricted at all in my usual dress size.

Overall, this dress was a lovely, versatile, well-made LBD.

I really enjoyed wearing this dress. I was very comfortable all night yet still felt very elegant. The dress ran a little small so I am glad I ordered the small and medium. I would love to own this classic dress. 

Loved! I ordered the XS and S, and I wore the XS. It's usually difficult to find dresses that fit in my waist but this fit in just the right places. The added pleat at the bottom gave a nice element to the dress. I wore this to a rehearsal dinner. Would highly recommend!

I loved this dress. It was comfortable and simple, yet a little different.

This is a great dress - comfortable and flattering. It was a little tight, but the material gave a little making it not a problem. It wasn't so tight that I would say it ran small, but it might be a good idea to go a size up for your back up size. 

Loved this dress so much I absolutely will be renting this again. It's a very form fitting dress but the material is thick and holds you in. I was worried that the medium was going to be too tight but it fit perfectly and looked incredible. I didn't have to wear a bra either. The dress hit me right under the knee. 

The dress is a little tight, especially the sleeves. I had a small, usually wear a 4, and it was snug but flattering. Great length! Got a lot of compliments!

I usually wear a medium and the medium just exactly fit, maybe a tiny bit tighter than I would have liked. Had I not been a few days into a cold with a decreased appetite, I might not have been so lucky. I would rent it again, maybe with a large instead of a small as my backup size. Still quite comfortable, and very thick fabric so everything is smoothed out, if you know what I mean. 

This dress was a great spin on a black dress. It definitely had a close fit, so you might want to wear spanx under. I thought it was very appropriate for work or a nice dinner. Loved the detail at the bottom. I usually wear an 8 or 10 dress size for reference.  I would have liked to try a size up to see how it fits, but I got this dress as part of the unlimited program. 

I really wasn't sure about this dress on the hanger and even on, just by itself. I threw a cardigan over it and suddenly was getting complemented by people walking past me on the street. The arms are a little snug but overall, it's a comfortable dress to wear all day. One thing that bothered me though was that the dress kept riding up as I walked, so I was constantly pulling it back down. 

If you are curvy, size up... I usually wear a small/medium and felt the medium was too tight. I would have felt more comfortable in a large and wish I had ordered that as my backup size. The weight/material of the dress is great, especially for cold fall nights and the length was absolutely perfect. It rode up a little throughout the night but I think this was because it was too small. I received a lot of compliments on the dress and felt great wearing it   Overall, I would rent it again but make sure to get a larger size. 

I do feel the dress runs small. I am 5'6" about 116 and the xsmall was so small. The small fit well and was very classic and elegant.  It is a comfortable, conservative dress, perfect for the occasion.

Form-fitting, great length and comfortable fabric. A little thick, but perfect for fall. 


Fit like a glove. Got lots of compliments. It's very pretty, but also comfortable and easy to move around it. I rented it for my job's annual fundraising event, during which I do a lot of running around. This dress was perfect for the occasion. I'm now looking for the dress I'm going to rent this year.
