For the first weekend away from kids, I'd say this dress was a hit! I wore it to a friend's fall wedding in Indiana, and the gold shimmered beautifully in the autumn sunlight. It was a bit snug around my ribs, but it wasn't too uncomfortable. I did use a bit of fashion tape though to keep the top in place; it was far too big around the boobs. I would probably have gone a size down, but then the ribcage area may have been too small. Anyway, I made do and wore tall heels with it and it made me feel beautiful. Loved it :)

Wore to black tie optional event for my company. I’m 2 months postpartum and this was so comfortable and fit like a glove. I got tons of compliments. I wore a nursing bra and it would’ve been super easy to breastfeed but baby stayed home however it was very easy to pump in it. I wore 3” heels and was a perfect length. The slit is a little precarious in the wind and sitting down but I want too bothered by it. Would definitely rent again 

I received many compliments on this dress -- it's a real dazzler! Flattering and comfortable! There is a small snap on the chest, but as a busty gal, that thing was rendered useless. I bought some boob tape and just owned it! Also, there is a slit (wrap-around vibe) in the front that is fun but potentially revealing for a more conservative wearer.

Super low cut, fashion tape worked great.I was able to wear a regular bra and was comfortable all night. I wish it was a little longer, but I wore a lower heel and was fine. Beautiful dress and very forgiving!

This dress made me feel so sexy and classy, without being too sexy! The fabric was light and comfortable for dancing and celebrating the new year! 
I was comfortable showing off deep cleavage and high slit in the skirt. I wore 3R, I am 160lbs 5’2. I chose the longer style because I wanted to wear platforms that night. Had I worn shorter heels, I would’ve needed the shorter style of the dress. I felt comfortable and gorgeous all night! 
Be forewarned- This dress may not be appropriate for more conservative renters because of the neckline and high slit. 

While I was skeptical when I first put on the dress, I ended up LOVING it. I got so many compliments, including one from a stranger who just *had* to know where I bought it. Beware, though - the slit came up higher than my belly button! It hangs like a wrap dress, but it's a fixed waist and not actually a wrap dress so you can't adjust it. Other reviewers said they pinned it in place, but I wasn't able to get it to lay right when I did that. So I just wore black leggings under it and no one noticed. I also wore a black cami under it so I didn't have to worry about the low and gappy bust.

If I have any more winter events, I'll definitely look for this dress first. Big win in my book!

Wore this dress to a gala and wedding 6 months PP and it perfectly hid every area of my body that has retained baby fat. 
I had so many compliments and really loved the fit. It was so comfortable 

Fit was perfect! I have 34DD boobs and this dress held them in amazingly! 

This dress was perfect for my brother's wedding. I dressed it down for the occasion (it was a more-casual wedding) but could easily be for a black tie dress. The tie around the waist made my waist look tiny while the flaired sleeves balanced everything out. This dress does have shiny gold details on it but I like a little shine.

Love this dress. This was my first wedding after having a baby (I was 12 weeks postpartum) and this dress was so flattering. I felt glamorous and received a ton of compliments. It is very low cut, and has a very high slit right up the front middle of the dress. I used fashion tape in both places and it was perfect 

I didn’t think there was anything too special about this, but it fit well and was comfortable yet fancy, and very easy to wear. Perfect wedding guest dress if you want to fit in and not stand out too much. 

I loved this dress sooo much!  Wore it several times for summer events!  Was a Gala option but was perfect for my Birthday and a closing night party!  I pinned the slit to my comfort level.

I rented this for a gala and it was an amazing dress! Received so many compliments throughout the night too. Only thing to note is for dancing I had to safety pin it because it kept flying open and the slit is very high. Would definitely rent again! 

I absolutely loved this dress. I am a size 8, 36D, 5'5.5 and it was perfect. I used boob tape because of the cut and the taped the dress to my skin and it stayed in place for 12 hours. I felt so confident in this and I don't say that often!

I followed the reviews on sizing down and glad I did! I'm typically a 4/6 in formal dresses and wore the size 1R. The dress has an awkward slit in the middle (versus side) so I safety pinned to prevent from opening up. 

Wore this to the Oscars and got so many compliments. The slit definitely flies open when walking, so be careful. The top is big and my chest didn't quite fill it, but I didn't need to pin it. 

The dress felt like me. I was comfortable all night and people kept telling me how much they loved the dress and how beautiful it looked on me. The neckline is a deep plunge, so I wore a lace camisole underneath. I'm wearing three-inch heels in the photo but the dress is very long so I had to be careful when taking stairs or getting out of the car. 

I LOVED this dress! 
Pros: extremely comfortable, easy to get on, perfect length (5' 4" with 2.5 inch heels), and absolutely stunning 
Cons: This is almost a wrap dress and the slit is HIGH. I have a larger butt and thighs--if I didn't sit correctly, my spanx and a lot of my legs would show. This proved difficult at a windy outdoor wedding too! Even with a large chest I had to safety pin the top so my bra didn't show. 
I would rent again in a heartbeat though! 

I’m 5’11 and usually wear a size 8 and the 2R fit perfectly. It is pretty low cut and I have a larger bust so I safety pinned the top to show a little less cleavage. Overall very flattering and comfortable. 

I received so many compliments on this dress. Only thing is I did pin the top so I did not feel  like I was falling out and I also pinned the slit in the skirt. It was a little high but with a few safety pins it was amazing. The waist fit great the top was a little loose. 

This picture isn't great but this dress was really flattering. It really stood out and made me feel glamorous. The neckline is very low and I'm busty so there was lots of cleavage. That might not be the case with someone smaller busted. 

This dress was amazing! Comfortable. Easy to transport (doesn't wrinkle easily). I'm 5'2'' and 150 pounds. I have a short torso and 36D bra size. This dress is long. You need higher heels, and I was able to pull some of the length up and over the sash and tied it tight in a back knot. Also, and most importantly, you will need fashion tape to manage the top of this dress. I had to tape to down to my chest. You can see that in the photo some. Overall, great rental!

Rent this dress! My only regret was not taking more pics in it. It was stunning, fit perfectly, and I was complimented by so many. Would rent again!

It does run a bit large but it's very easy to adjust (I also opted to use tape!). I felt like a goddess, and it made me feel so secure in a wedding where virtually everyone else was a stranger. 

So comfortable, glamorous, POCKETS and the slit added a bit of fun/sexiness!  If I regularly attended formal events I would buy this dress in a heartbeat.  Loved wearing it and felt like a million bucks.

I LOVED this dress! The only drawback was that the snap in the bust kept coming undone (as pictured here, oops) so I had to be aware all night. Since my baby I've been wearing around a size 10 and was able to get away with the 2R so you know that had me feeling good all night- and when you feel good, you just look better too. The metallic lines are more gold in person than I had imagined from pictures

I have gained weight over the pandemic and this dress hugged and snugged just perfectly. I do not like my arms and this dress covered just the right places. I wish I could have purchased it! I am 5'7" about 175 lbs. 36D Long legs and short torso. Wore Size 2L

Super pretty but sizing is weird. Fit well in the hips and waste, but huge in the boob area and shoulders - I needed to pin it up a ton. If you're bigger on bottom your regular size will probably be too big on top and vice versa. 

I wore this to a black tie event in LA in September. The style and comfort were amazing. I read reviews about the slit being really high but it's very easy to pin and I just wore boy shorts underneath. Would definitely rent this dress again!

This dress is so beautiful and romantic. I received compliments from people I didn't even know the whole night and didn't want to return the dress!

I loved this dress! I have a tummy and I don't love having my arms exposed so this was the perfect dress to hide all my insecurities! The gold metallic against the black pops so much. I got compliments on my dress all night. I wore 2" block heels and length was good (also got the 3L but due to length went with the 2R)

You NEED fashion tape if you rent this dress. The chest does gape (I'm a 36D) and the slit does open. I used the tape for the chest and to close the slit down, no issues at all. 

Ran a bit small in my opinion but was flowy and comfortable. Great fit to hide some extra covid pounds. Typically a medium large, the size 2r fit but this was more comfortable. 

The most perfect dress!! I got so many compliments all night. The fit/length was amazing and the dress was light which made it a perfect option for an outdoor wedding in Florida. I will be buying this dress because its that wonderful. 

I loved wearing this dress. It was comfortable and flattering and oh so festive for the holiday event it was worn to. I don't remember the exact size I wore but tt was a little too big on top. Nothing a little hidden safety pin or dress tape couldn't fix. 

Amazing dress, comfortable, easy to wear and more beautiful in person. I knew the minute I opened the package this is IT. Got many 'you look amazing'. Will be ordering this one for another occasion

I loved this dress SO much that I would easily rent this again or even buy it. I can't describe how many compliments I received because I couldn't count them! There is a slit on the side but it doesn't part unless you choose to part the material (like I did for this pose). So comfortable and flattering! Worn for a black tie wedding in February. 

Wore this for a black tie optional wedding and received many compliments all night. I could not have worn this without fashion tape as the slit goes all the way up the dress and the chest was gaping between the clasp. With some pinning and fashion tape, the dress looked and felt great on! I am a size 28 in jeans and have a smaller waist and large hips and the 2R felt too large, but the 1R fit great. 

Rented for a 20s-themed, black tie fundraiser for our city's arts center. This is an AMAZING dress and fit the theme perfectly! Black and gold with a beautiful neckline. Sleeves were perfect for the winter event. I wore 3-4 inch heels and the dress barely skirted the floor. The slit is high, but posed no issues for me. So many compliments! Would rent again for the right event!
