Stunning Dress!!!!

I’m 5’3 and the regular length is prefect. The petite was too short. Fits true to size. Stunning in person. Comfortable and one of my favorites!

If a disco ball was a dress!

Wore this to a charity gala that I was hosting and it did not disappoint. Got tons of compliments and, more importantly, I loved it! I’m a 4/6 (5’ 4”, 125 lbs, 34B) and absolutely needed the 6. This is the regular length and I am wearing kitten heels, so I think it runs rather short. Anyone taller than 5’ 4” should absolutely order the long. I did wear Spanx and a sticky bra since the back drops pretty low.

The dress made the night!

Will definitely rent again! This dress was WOW! Fit like a glove; not a tight uncomfortable glove, but a smooth perfectly snug glove. Initially I wasn't sure if I'd fit in a 4 anything since I'm a curvy athletic build and normally wear a 6. I'm very glad I went with a 4R or 4L. I tried on both and went with the 4R only because the bottom of the zipper was a bit wonky on the 4L. The dress is stretchy so a 6 would have been too big. The length was more than sufficient and I didn't feel that it should have been any shorter or longer for my 2.5 or 3 inch heels. It was 46 degrees outside and rainy on the evening of our event and chilly in the venue. The long sleeves and the weight of the dress kept me from being cold all night. (I tried to load a pic of the back but the site would only take one.)

Perfect! Complements all Night

I wore this for a fabulous wedding in New Orleans. People complemented me all night long. I noticed other reviews said to wear it "backwards" so I tried it on both ways and decided that backwards was the way to go. I used some fabric tape to hold the folds in place along my cleavage. I went with the long version because even though I am 5'5" I didn't want my feet showing too much because I was wearing sandals. It fabric was not itchy and very stretchy. I could have worn a size smaller but decided to leave a bit of room for dinner, drinks, and dancing :) You will not be disappointed if you rent this!

Baby Shower Bliss! Compliments Galore!

I'm normally a size 4-6, but here I am 8 months pregnant. The 10L was perfect. I think an 8L would've fit as well. This dress is great material and bump friendly! If you've got a bump go for the Long size because you will need the extra length. I'm 5'3 and wearing flats. Overall perfect dress for a special occasion and very comfortable plus bump friendly. You cannot go wrong here!

Form fitting but comfortable, I chose the 6L because my pumps were 4.5" tall (I'm 5'5") and it was perfect.

Stunning

Stunning was the compliment I received the entire evening! Loved this dress. I ordered a 6L and an 8L. The 6 was too short and too small in the bust so I went with the 8. The waist was way too big but the material of the gown laid well and didn't think it was too noticeable. It was comfortable to wear all night

Sparkle for Days.

This dress is a classic fit covered in gunmetal gray sparkles. I loved the fit- it was as comfortable as pajamas- I’m not l kidding. I ended up going with something less sparkly- but this would be so fun to wear!

Loved this dress I felt beautiful!

This dress fit my body well. I wore the size 6 but probably could have wore a size 8 because it was a little tight on my hips. I am small busted but wear a size 8 in pants so usually dresses are hard to find because I’m disproportion. If my boobs were any bigger I’d need a size 8 but I’m a 34A so it fit fine. Loved the dress!l and loved the open back.

Perfect fit, glam, sparkly!

Absolutely loved this dress! Not too heavy but well-lined so the sequins didn’t poke through. Compliments all night! I am 5’4” and wore three inch heels. Minimal need for jewelry due to sparkling as you walk in the room!

Gorgeous gown!

I received tons of compliments on this gown! It’s a beautiful silver sequined gown with black backing. The draped back is too low for a regular bra. The weight of it is nice, a little scratchy though. I’d rent again!

Love this dress, draped beautifully!

Rented this for a fall wedding and couldn't be more thrilled. Stunning metallic in color and the train is not too long at all which was my only concern in getting the 2L instead of regular. Wore 3.5 inch heels and am 5'6 so perfect length. I wasn't able to upload more than one picture but the back drapes really nicely and I was completely fine with a sticky bra. Couldn't recommend more! Rent!

A stunning knock out dress

This dress was killer and I received a TON of compliments all night. The quality was awesome and the fit was perfect. I work 3" heels and the dress just barely brushed the floor. The scoop back is beautiful! I can't say enough about this gown.

Beautiful dress but does run short as other reviews mention.

I’m 5’8” and #140 athletic build so I was concerned in how it would fit my shoulders, but due to weather I wanted a long sleeve dress. I rented a 6R and 4L and thought the 6R would be a better fit but ended up liking the 4L fit better as it went to the floor and was only initially uncomfortable in the shoulders. After awhile I didn’t notice. Downside to the dress I have waist long hair and it was continually getting caught in the sequins so I recommend an updo for this dress. I didn’t take any full length photos so sorry for the terrible photo.

Beautiful dress, elegant

Absolutely beautiful. I usually wear a 12 but ordered the 14 and glad I did. Fit like a glove. There are no zippers on this dress. I stepped into it and pulled it up. Low back but not too low. I didn't end up wearing the dress to our company Christmas party as I would have had to put double sided tape on shoulders to keep sleeves up. Ended up wearing another dress. Wish I had one more event to go to to wear it because it is so pretty. For sure would wear spanx with the dress.

Gorgeous dress, will get lots of compliments

I rented this dress to maybe wear to a wedding but ended up being too formal for a cocktail type wedding party. A photographer decided she wanted fo use it for a photoshoot instead and it was the perfect dress. It's a little heavy but the movement of the dress is beautiful and the open back is classic, I could have maybe come down a size, As I'm somewhere between a 4-6. It was a little long but it's nothing a high heel couldn't fix I would rent this dress again.

I ordered a 10R too and would have been happy with a 10 LONG but the 12R was just fine--I loved the lining's weight--it was a little chill and with the dramatic back, I was perfectly comfortable

Don't be afraid of sizing

This is a 6, but I normally wear a 4. While it was too big, it totally would have been fine for the night. The dress is much more beautiful in person as pictures just can't quite capture its elegance. I went with my first choice, but I will definitely look to wear this one in the future for formal events.

It was very fitted and curvy. The dress was surprisingly comfortable as the sleeves and inside is nicely lined. It was a little too tight on me for the event I'm going to. Didn't wear it!

Not for me…girls with a booty, beware.

I had high hopes for this dress but it just isn’t made for all body types and the fabric is stiff and unforgiving. The side zipper scrunches when you move, even after sizing up one length it was still too short and I’d say it definitely runs small. I couldn’t get two sizes this time so no option for larger but even if i had been able, the next size up probably wouldn’t have been far too large in the chest. As it was, the top barely stayed on while the middle was super tight. Pear/booty girls beware. The arms were too short even with a “long”. The Material was itchy and all in all it just wasn’t for me at all.

Love!!! Very elegant. Makes a statement.

I wore this for a red carpet event. It fits well, pretty true to size. It's also comfortable! I absolutely loved it! The back is a little bit low so I would recommend a backless or sticky bra.

Perfect black tie wedding dress

I got this for a black tie NYE wedding, and loved it! It was super comfortable and fit true to size, though I will say it does run a bit on the shorter side - though I wore it with 3 inch heels and it just barely skimmed the floor. Loved the subtle train and the low back.

A lovely evening for a rooftop holiday party, dress was perfect and I received compliments galore!

The dress fit perfectly, was extremely comfortable the entire night. I'm 5'2" and I wore 4" heels, dress fell for a perfect length. The size was a 14WR, so if you are taller than me and plan to wear heels, probably the 14WL is better for you.

Perfect NYE dress

I got this dress for Christmas/NY wedding and it was perfect! Dress was comfortable and fit like a glove. I was able to wear a regular bra and the length was perfect for my 5' 2" frame. The only thing I would say to be aware of is it will make you look broad shouldered so if you are a little muscular like I am some angles in photos might make it look like you have padded shoulders!

Elegant

This dress was gorgeous and elegant! At 5'6" I'm glad I went with a 4L as the dress fit like a glove and was a comfortable length. The front is slightly shorter than the back, so 3" heals were perfect for my taste. I was not able to wear a bra but was able to wear a corset and spanx with some maneuvering and tucking in the back to keep my underwear from showing. I loved this dress and felt comfortable and confident wearing it. Definitely recommend if you want to stand out.
