It’s true size, thick fabric, has a little stretch.
Great for fall/ winter.
Classic piece to have your closet.
I ended up buying it!


I wore this dress for my 60th birthday dinner.  It fit great in the bust but the body was a little baggy on me.. the straps are not adjustable so I pinned them.   

I kept pulling up the straps so you'll need some fashion tape for this. I did get lots of compliments and for a simple concept it definitely stuns! 

Wore this for my husbands 40th, very tasteful but still has personality with the ruffles and the color shows great in pictures. I did wear sharp wear and it really elevated the silhouette. 

This is a stunning dress. I find you need to size up with Black Halo and for my body shape I needed a 6. My sister wore it because the 4 was too tight in the hips for me.  

Lots of compliments on this one, which fit like a glove. The fan is a nice feature, and makes it unique. I would definitely rent this one again.

Looveeed this dress & got lots of compliments. I am 5'10" and so pleased that the skirt was the right length on me since many are too short. This dress fit me perfectly - I have a 32" /32A bust, 26" waist, 37" hips. Cannot recommend enough.

Wore it to an all red dress dinner. Straps were way too loose, had to tuck them in. A little tighter than I would have liked. 

I felt like a million bucks in this dress! Fits exactly true to size, fitted without being too tight. It was a bit long on me, but at 5’3” that’s expected. Loved how simple it with with the pleating detail in front. Lots of compliments!

Fit amazing, very flattering, classic look but so much flair!! 

Fits perfectly and no bra needed! Was complimented all night!

I worse this for my 40th birthday dinner and it was so flattering’ I felt so sexy. It hugged in all the right spots but was very flattering in my belly. I didn’t have any issues with the strap length as others mentioned. I will definitely rent again! 

I wore this for a fall wedding- perfect color red! It fit like a glove with a little stretch. I sizes up and wore the 8 for a bit more comfort.

The top detailing is so pretty and just enough to make this dress a wow factor!

Highly recommend 

Loved almost everything about this dress! However, the straps were a bit long (I am 5’2). Also, you might wanna wear Spanx underneath for the impeccable look. 

Love the sexy shape and layering to keep it modest. Got so many compliments. Bright, rich, color and stretch so you can sit or dance. Runs a little tight 

I rented this for a wedding and the dress fit great! I got lots of compliments on the dress, and it was comfortable to wear for hours 

The only con to this was it was a tiny bit tight in my thighs but I have thick butt and thighs so that's probably why!

Regardless, I felt beautiful and wish I could keep it!!

I like the overall style of the dress but if you are looking for something tighter fitting then I would size down. I rented the size 0 as a backup dress and it definitely had some room in it. Overall, I did really like it. 

(usual dress size: 0-2, bra size: 30 D, waist: 25 in, ribcage: 29 in, hips: 32 in, leg inseam: 31 in, weight: 120 (ish), height: 5' 6") 

I wore this for a party that I hosted in my home, and it was classic, understated, yet sexy. I'm usually a size too, but for was all that was available. It was just a tad big on the top.

This was the perfect dress for a work Christmas party! I'm tall and it wasn't too short and fit true to size. 

Comfortable and flattering. I am very short, but length was good. Only issue was straps were a bit long for me. Got lots of compliments. 

This dress was my backup option for a wedding, and while I didn't end up wearing it, I absolutely plan to rent it in the future for another event. The color is bright and beautiful and the detailing on the front adds just the right amount of interest. 

I rented this for my friend's wedding rehearsal dinner. Loved it and got lots of compliments. It's very firm fitting (I wish I would've worn some spanx lol). Love the classic red and silhouette with just a little extra detail on the bust. I highly recommend if you're looking for a classy dress with a twist!

This looked like an expensive second skin. Loved it. Compliments all night. 

I though this dress was super sexy. Loved the cut and the color and the ruffled detail. Only issue I had was with sizing. Started with the 8 and would have been perfect but couldn't quite get the zipper all the way up. Sized up and once I was in the 10 the straps were too long and not adjustable. So if you are a petite gal with curves this one may be tough if you find that you often have issues with straps being too long. Wearing the 8 in this photo

Loved this dress! Got a lot of compliments. It is very sexy but the length makes sure it's not too sexy. The fit was very flattering!

Gorgeous! Compliments all night. Fit amazing. Its such a classic dress but the pleating on the front is so unique. Structured design, looks expensive yet understated and not over the top. Very sophisticated.

Beautiful dress. Straps are a touch long. 

Loved loved this dress! Great for hourglass figure and the material and fit were great! The straps were a little long as mentioned in other posts but they didn't fall down. Wish they were adjustable. That was my only critique. I will definitely rent again!!! 

Rented this for an engagement party and received compliments all night. I ordered the 10 and 12 and ultimately wore the 12. I'm between sizes and this one was more comfortable. My only con was the straps were a little long and kept slipping off my shoulders but not a huge deal. 

Can't speak enough on how wonderful this dress is. My boyfriend and his mom adored it and I'm getting one more public outing in this before I send it back! It hugged my body so well and the material is sturdy.

The only tough part is the lining. When you lift the dress up to use the bathroom the lining can be a little pain to pull back down.
