I wore this to a gala. I almost went with a more understated gown but after trying it on for a group of girlfriends, we agreed it was just too fabulous to pass up. The red is a beautiful rich color and the skirt is multilayered and full - also very long, which was tricky but I made it work. People commented all night long, including someone walking by on the street who said, “You look like a beautiful princess!” And I felt like one too 🥰

I wore this in NYC to see my first Broadway show, and let me just tell you, from the fit to the feel I LOVE this dress. Felt like a princess all night and got countless compliments. 

Absolutely in love with this dress - wish I could buy it!!!!! The only size that was available was a 0 (long). I am 5'3 for reference.  I actually think the extra length made the dress even more dreamy. I would say the only downside is how heavy it was. It was a bit of a hassle on the dance floor, but so worth it! GET IT.

Well, I wore this for a benefit concert and felt like a queen singing at the Oscars. So many compliments, and so flattering. Definitely a lush moment, so I'd wear it for a ball/dance/gala etc as it's pretty formal. Loved! 

Rented this for my engagement shoot and I am glad I did!!!! It turned out beautifully in photos! I'm 5'6 and wearing a 3 inch heel for length reference. Definitely would say it runs true to size but the skirt part is rather heavy so just be aware of that! The tighter/more snug the fit, the better! It also has pockets!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE! 

Didn't wear but would probably rent again. This was a backup option for me and went with another red dress. The other reviews about the length are true, it's very long but the dress is worth it to make it work. As photos show, this is like a ball gown which is one of the reasons I didn't wear it. I needed a full length formal dress but this was a little too formal for the event. Tough part for me on this dress is the top, the 0 was still was too big even with a strapless bra. Approx 112 

This dress is BEAUTIFUL and I felt beautiful in it. I unfortunately couldn't get a short size so it was much too long on me. It was also slightly loose in the chest area so I had to keep tugging it up. I hope I have something else to wear it to in the future! 

I have never received so many compliments in my life. It was really beautiful. 

I'm usually a size 10 but all they had was a 10 long. It was too long but I don't regret it. I'm 5'7 about 155 lbs and a 32g. 

This dress was beautiful. The color was amazing and the dress it self was a head turner. Unfortunately the top was huge on me. I'm a 28C and had to pull it up all night because it's so heavy it pulled it down more. Still a great dress and if you're bustier I doubt you'd have this problem. I'm 5'4 and got the regular length and wore 6 inch heels and it was the perfect length, barely touched the ground. 

It took 2 people to zip me into it, but once in, it fit like a glove. I did not have to tug at it all night to keep it up. I wore this to a formal, political gala and got complimented all night. Out the bag it gave me bridesmaids vibes, but once on, it's a beautiful silhouette and at the event it was totally appropriate, while standing out in a sea of black dresses. Thanks to other reviewers I was prepared for the length and ordered the 6R and wore high heels.

This dress was amazing! I wore it for a black tie wedding and got compliments all night! It’s very elegant and has a great flow. I didn’t realize the dress has pockets which is a huge plus! I will say that I found the 10L a bit long for me even though I am 5’9. It was a bit large in the bust but it was manageable and fit great every where else! 

This dress is so beautiful and comfortable. It looked at stunning on and is elegant.  

I rented this for a photo session for my daughter's sweet 16.  She's very busty so we ordered 2 sizes up from her normal clothing size.  It fit perfectly.  I could not be happier!  She looked and felt amazing.

The bodice sits snugly on my 34B chest, and I never had to worry of it slipping down. The construction of the dress feels very solid and rich. Be ready for a lot of fabric!

Stunning. Beautiful. Perfect.

Dress sizing is different for every brand, and sometimes, a 2 is too tight in the chest for me. This was not the case with this beauty, it zipped right up and didn't require (too much) pulling up.

Like everyone else said, it's a bit long. I got the 2R, am 5'2", and wore 4 inch heels and it was still just a bit too long.

All that to say, I loved it and would absolutely rent it again!!

I wore this gown for a Black Tie wedding in Miami! It was so flattering and beautiful! It fit like a glove and accented all the right curves! My only complaint about the gown is that it was big! And heavy! And for a late November wedding I thought I'd be okay, but it's Miami, and I was HOT. So keep that in mind when renting! Otherwise it was perfect and extravagant. I would definitely recommend!

I wore this dress for my engagement photos and it was an absolute dream. It photographs and moves so well! I can't say much for it's comfortability because I only wore it for an hour or so. It was a bit heavy but stayed up fine. 

I wore this dress for my engagement shoot and the compliments haven't stopped. If I didn't have to take this dress off to return it, I never would. I have never felt more beautiful. I'm normally a 4 short but ordered a 2 long because it was the only size available when I needed it. I could barely breathe and it was way too long, but it was so worth it. It was so incredibly flattering, the color was so rich and it was perfect for twirling. PS it's very heavy so best for colder climates.

My daughter wore this for a senior photo shoot and when she put this on, I was literally in tears. Simple yet elegant and so classy in all the right ways. This photo tells it all. I wish I could wear this dress. Will defintely be renting again! 

I am so obsessed with this dress. I had wanted to wear it to my law school Barrister's Ball, but the event was cancelled due to COVID-19. So I decided to rent it to take graduation photos in my backyard with my mom as the photographer (lol). Only the long sizes were available, and they definitely are long (I'm 5'2"), but the length was actually beautiful. I'm a 32DD, so the top was almost too tight but not quite. This is an absolutely amazing dress though- I wish I owned it. 

This dress felt like the weight of my wedding dress and made me feel almost as beautiful! It is long, so if you're under 5' 5" I would make sure to get some platform heels over 5 inches. There's a lot of fabric on the bottom, which makes it heavy but beautiful to move in. Also, POCKETS. You don't need to wear a bra either. This was my fav rental to date! So many compliments I couldn't even count them all. 

Beyond stunning - this gown is so so gorgeous and opulent. You will feel like a movie star in it.

The top is beautifully constructed, but it was a little big on my 32B chest. The skirt is SO much fabric. It makes the dress a little heavy (and on me the weight was pulling the dress down). 

And another favorite feature? It has pockets!

Unfortunately only 2L was available; otherwise, 0R would have fit me! I got this as a backup dress for a formal event, and while I didn't wear it (too big in the chest and about 1.5" too big in the waist, and waaay too long), the dress just *screamed* luxury. One of my guy friends even texted me to tell me I was the dress was "poppin" haha!! 

This bad boy is heavy, but there's an adequate amount of structure. The boning does stick out a bit due to wear, but that wasn't too much of an issue for me. 11/10 recommend! 

I LOVED wearing this gown to the Barristers ball. I was the belle of the ball. The dress is heavy and expensive feeling. You're not going to want to take it off. I recommend a long if you're 5'10"<

This is one of my favorite gowns ever. The color, the cut, the pockets, the material. Very well made dress that makes a statement. People were telling me I looked like it was a off a red carpet event. I didn't want to send it back! 

Wore this to a black tie event - got so many compliments. The photo doesn't do the fullness justice it's a really gorgeous gown. 

I wore the 0L and did not find the length to be crazy like some reviewers mentioned / I am 5'6 and I wore 3 1/2 inch heels and was not tripping. 

The zipper on my back up dress broke - even though it was the larger size so make sure you order 2 - I think a gown like this can't handle as many wears as it's a lot of weight for the zipper to handle. 

This dress was big and beautiful. I felt so pretty and that made me happy considering I was 7 weeks pregnant and super sick. Before this day, I wasn't sure I would even have energy to get ready.  But it was like Cinderella when she went from rags to a gorgeous gown. Even the photographer at the event complimented me!! It was very heavy though so beware. Loved the pockets, always a bonus. Wore with black shoes and black diamond jewelry. 

The color of this was stunning and was definitely a standout. I wore to a ball and was comfortable all night. The built in corset was perfect to keep the dress in place but was not too tight to make me miserable. So glad I picked this dress. It was understated, but elegant!!

The compliments didn't stop all evening. Elegant yet comfortable, the pockets were an added bonus. I didn't want the night to end because I knew I had to return the dress. Definitely felt like Cinderella. LOVE this gown!

Fit true to size. I’m 5’7 and wore a 2 inch heel and it fell perfectly at my feet.

I rented this dress for a Formal night on a cruise. I wanted to find a dress that really stood out and this dress did!!This dress is simply stunning!! 

One thing I can say however, is it is very heavy. If you have a smaller chest like me, the dress will slightly fall down throughout the night. Go a size down if you have a smaller cup size to keep it up! 

This dress got SO many compliments. It is a gorgeous gown, and I even got engaged in it!! I would have bought it if it was a size 4 regular!

Absolutely loved this dress! Ordered both the 0R and 2R regular and ended up wearing the 0R because the top fit better. I'm a pretty small chested girl and the dress hugged nicely up top, a little bit roomy but that's just the norm for me. I'm 5'5" and wore 4 inch heels and the dress grazed the ground naturally. The only thing about this dress is the weight. Since the dress has so much material in the skirt, the slip plus the layer of tulle and the top fabric, it definitely carries some weight.

Wore this to the White House Christmas Party and it was just perfect! The fit was beautiful and I received many compliments! The long size was very long but I wanted that look and I just wore higher heels. The regular would have worked as well!

The dress fit perfectly. You'll need smaller than a 25 inch waist to fit the 0 and a B/C cup max. They only had a long in stock and it was about 7 inches too long on my 5'6'' figure. Overall, it was a stunner!

This dress is definitely a showstopper. Lots of Grace Kelly vibes. ONLY downside is that it's very heavy... and if you're a small chested gal, you may find yourself hoisting it up much of the evening. 

I am 5'8.5" and the 8R was long (I only wear flats) Also a little large in the chest. I ended up wearing a strapless bra to help. Everyone loved it - the color and pockets! 

I was so happy I rented this dress I had had in my "hearts"! I went to a formal event and got so many compliments! I am 5'9" and the long did get stepped on/slightly drag with three inch heels. I am also relatively small chested so I did have to pull up the dress (I didn't wear a bra, there is bonding) but it was so beautiful I didn't even care. Bonus points for POCKETS! Color is rich in person and the skirt is nice and full.
