Such a gorgeous dress and really comfy. Wore it for a wedding at the Sydney Opera House. However, the chest is HUGE. I'm a 36DD and had tons of extra room. Needed tape to feel comfortable with the deep v and looseness of the top. 

Better be tall enough to handle this, otherwise perfect 

I think maybe a little short of formal black tie but definitely can dress up with this for a party

I chose to wear boob tape instead of finding an ideal bra to lift the girls up . But I was looking for something edgy yet still classy. Dress is ankle length with an about 5 layers of fabric. It definitely worked out great and wish I could add it to my closet collection. 

Loved the dress. A little warm, as there are layers and it is velvet, so not recommended for an outdoor summer wedding. Wore it with my chicken cutlets (boob cups? I don't know their formal name) as it is a low cut and low arm pits. 

I absolutely loved this dress - very elegant, comfortable and fashionable. Others commented on the plunging neckline and arm holes but neither were an issue for me. 

Stunning formal dress, comfortable to wear although it is cut quite low in the front and sides. I chose to wear a black bandeau underneath for coverage. Would definitely rent again!

I wore this dress to a formal, country club wedding. It fit well; the arm holes are deep and may show side boob, however, the front panel is wide enough to cover everything. The skirt is gorgeous and soft - it’s four layers of fabric so it drapes and flows as you walk. Just be careful - the top layer is soft mesh that can tear and pull easily.  A gorgeous dress!

Nice low cut v neck line wore it to a wedding 

I have never received so many compliments in my life - bride, wedding party, family friends, grandparents, random people at the bar afterwards. I absolutely loved this dress and I wish I had an excuse to wear it again. I normally wear a 6 and sized down based on other reviews and the 4 fit well. I loved the length hitting just above the ankle and felt like the neckline was sexy but still classy for a formal wedding. I used boob tape (easy to use given shoulder/back coverage) to perk the girls up a bit but could go without just as easily. Danced all night and was beyond comfortable. Rent her !!!!!

I didn’t realize it was velvet on the top but was so glad that it was! Perfect for a winter black tie wedding. The contrast in the material of the top and plunging neckline with the bottom of the gown is just gorgeous! I loved the waistline- very flattering 

I'm typically a 10 but went with an 8 based on reviews, it fit perfectly. 

Wore to a black tie wedding and it was perfect for the occasion. Fit was very comfortable!

I’m usually a 6 and the 4 fit perfectly. Really great and comfortable dress

it’s definitely boob-y for my larger chest girlies but there was never a risk of any slippage

A stunning dress and perfect for a masquerade ball! This is high quality and fit me perfectly. The very low neckline and open sides still provided the coverage needed for a bigger bust.  I would defiantly rent again and recommend this to dress highly. I thought the dress was going to be too hot living in Florida but even with the velvet top and multi layered skirt It was perfect. 

Wore this to a friend's wedding and never have I received so many compliments! The dress fit like a glove and held its shape despite being a deep cut in the front (no boobs flying out on the dance floor!). 
Fantastic "spin" and super comfy!

Fit perfect!!!!  Works best for smaller chested!

Absolutely loved this dress! Super comfortable and super flattering!

Agree, wore the size down from what I usually wear. Got so many compliments. Definitely needed some boob and fashion tape but if you feel comfortable with low cut and some side cleavage the dress is comfortable and easy to wear. The dress skimmed the floor with no heel, so adding a heel prevented any dragging.

I absolutely loved this dress. It was comfortable and classic. Unfortunately, it ended up being 85 degrees on the day I had planned to wear it. Hoping I'll be able to rent it for an event in the future!

Perfect fit and got so many compliments!!! 

Tons of compliments on this dress for Swan Lake at the NY Ballet! The top is velvet and has shoulder pads so gave me great shape while keeping me warm when it got chilly in the theater. 

I wore with ballet flats but would have been perfect with heels as well.

I wore a sticky bra with this as the arm pits and deep v would show a regular bra!

I ordered this so I wouldn't feel underdressed at a black tie optional wedding, and it was perfect for the occasion. A couple notes: I'm a true size 6, but the 4 fit me like a glove so size down! I needed boob tape to work the deep v, but it's easy to do because there's plenty of coverage in the front and back. It's long - I'm 5'4" and definitely needed heels. And last it was a warm to dance in, so if you're going to break it down on the dance floor maybe choose something else. 

I wore this for a black tie wedding, great style, fit well and super comfortable to have on all day. Length was great, I wore flats but would have also worked with heels

Wonderful dress, but I am interested and it showed a lot of side boob so I had to a dress underneath

So beautiful and flattering. The top is fairly structured, and the skirt is quite full and very flow-y. Highly recommend sizing down, especially if you are sometimes between sizes.

loved this dress! definitely need to get creative to strap the girls down but overall a huge win. others said this was too long. im 5'2" and the size 0 was the perfect length

this was a last minute dress choice because the dress I initially ordered wasn’t able to be sent due to damage - I was disappointed and unsure if I made the right choice after reading reviews here on the lose top. It ended up being a great choice - the top stayed put throughout my recital and I was very comfortable. It was also super pretty! Alls well that ends well ~ sizing was a bit strange, the 0 worked well for me but I’m usually a 2/4

I wore this to a gala and it was a hit! I love the elegance of the dress and received so many compliments. I’m 5’2” 130lbs and the 0 fit like a glove. 

I loved this dress and received so many compliments! It was very comfortable and I was able to dance the night away without any problems. I didn’t have time to get shape wear or a better bra, but I recommend getting something to hold the girls in place because the top was a tad loose. I used a normal black bra and you could see it when I had my arms up. Otherwise, great dress!

I tried the 14 first and I thought it fit OK, but once I tried on the 12, I understood how the dress is supposed to fit. It is low-cut, but it was not a problem with the smaller size and a little bit of double-sided tape. I am 5'3" and the length was fine with ankle boots with a 1-inch heel. I did have to lift the skirt to go up steps, but otherwise length was fine. I wore this on the coldest day of the year (indoors) and it was comfortable. The dress code for the event was "cocktail chic," and I did not feel overdressed at all. Loved the dress and would rent it again!

Very low cut so had to wear a scarf as occasion was stuffy.  I would rent again 

This was... odd. The neckline not lying flat even with its deep plunge and additionally practically adding shoulder padding (trying to billow outward on top) combined with the full tulle skirt made the silhouette look ill fitted on my petite figure despite the classy fit I loved on the other reviews here.

It felt so gaping, hard to wear, and not movement/dance proof. A shame because it could have been so timeless and elegant if proportionally different for me- the skirt looks great… if only the top was more fitted and refined! 

You can not wear a bra with this beautiful dress so I’ll pass but the dress itself is cute. From the busty girl.

it bunches at the back waist a little bit. a tiny bit big on the shoulders. otherwise super elegant and nice

Top is too open, low in front and low on side arms (side breast will show) gathering is placed so that it accents anything on your waist which is unfortunate. Didnt wear it.

This was not the dress for me. It was very low-cut and the sides didn’t quite cover entirely, so there was a lot of side-boob showing. The shoulder padding looked and felt awkward. It was also surprisingly difficult to zip up by myself. The length was nice (ankle length) and the velvet and tulle were soft.

I should've sized down. I was worried the waist might be too tight but could've used a smaller size to keep everything snug on top

Cheers to 50 Years for my parents! This dress was the perfect mix of vintage cocktail chic (that stunning skirt!) and bold, sexy sophistication with its daring neckline. As a two time breast cancer survivor, I was a LITTLE nervous, but felt beautiful, too. (Yay for Hollywood Fashion Tape!) It made the celebration even more memorable!
