Surprisingly Chic and Understated

Wasn’t sure about this dress on my 34C | 27 | 37 figure at six feet tall. Figured waist/torso; hem and sleeves would be too short. But NO! This 6L dress fit perfectly. Even the front that gently slid away didn’t bother me (forgot to take fabric tape on vacation). Just allowed it to settle where it fell intentionally exposing my black, silk bra. It looked like an ensemble! Try the dress. You won’t regret it

Perfect!

This fabric is beautiful and it was so comfy. I got so many compliments- perfect for a fall wedding. Not too long, I’m short and the regular length was perfect with some heels.

Perfect black tie, winter/fall dress

The bust was a little low cut but with tape could be adjusted. Very stretchy and forgiving - I wore shapewear underneath. I’m between a size 6 and 8, and the 8 was great! Wore with 3 inch heels.

Literally Perfect

This dress is absolutely stunning! I never usually get a petite size but that’s all that was available, it was maybe a tiny bit short but honestly didn’t mind it because it fit me like a glove. It was so comfy and I didn’t need to adjust it at all. Definitely more sparkly in some lights than I thought but so pretty!

Flattering cut, glamorous look!

The shape of this dress enhances the bust, and fits smoothly through the waist- good at hiding bulges, especially if you use tummy control underwear. It is a "midi" style, so came to my ankles, which was fine. Gold shoes tend to work best. Got many compliments!

Gorgeous dress

Extremely comfortable and very sexy. Can be more or less low cut depending on preference. As a small chested girlie I wore a push up bra to get more of an effect

Get this dress!

Sexy, form fitting, shows off every curve! Wore this as a bridesmaid to my friends wedding where she wanted us in fall colors. This gown did not disappoint! I would say this probably wouldn’t be the best option for my larger chested girlies. I used boob tape and then double sided tape to keep the top part in place and had no issues. I danced the night away without any slips or snugs. 10/10 recommend

Flattering gown

I really loved this gown. The neckline was a bit hard to deal with at first but I made it work eventually. The only complaint I have is that I didn’t need the petite and would have been fine with the regular length. At 5’3 that’s very rare.

The dress fit perfectly. I ordered a 0 regular and a 0 petite. The petite fit too short. It wasn’t long enough (like the model is wearing it). I got many compliments.

Beautiful fit and color

Wore this to black tie wedding in September. Even though it was a super hot day I never felt too hot. Loved the way it looked on my neckline. I wore a size 6 which is my normal size. I’m three months post partum so my Honeylove shapewear was a must underneath.

No notes

So pretty and flattering. I have 32" waist and 41" hips, this dress was crazy stretchy so fit curves so nicely. And with the ruching it's flatters the areas I'd usually like to hide like the tummy. I wore 2in heels and the bottom of the dress hit right at the floor so perfect for girls on the shorter side looking for full length dresses!

Comfortable and Dressy

Wore this to a Work Christmas party at a restaurant and got a few compliments in the fit. It is form fitting but the gathers in the material make it somewhat forgoving. . Definitely hugs your curves, but was perfect for the event of not too dressy and not too casual for a chilly night out.

Nice to have a gown long enough for the tall gals. It wasn't as much glam as I wanted for my event. The sparkle in the fabric didn't read as much as I hoped.

Amazing dress

An incredibly flattering and gorgeously sparkly dress! I wore the 10R with sandals but if I were wearing heels I would’ve needed the 10L. Otherwise, it was a perfect fit! Only note is that it doesn’t breathe well, so I wouldn’t recommend for a summer event or anywhere particularly warm.

Comfortable & Sexy

This was my backup dress for a black tie gala and I LOVED it so much more than my first option. It’s stretchy and forgiving. I was worried it would read Mother of the Bride but it was perfect for a black tie October event. I wore with 3-4in platform pumps and liked the Regular length. The petite length was too short for heels.

A little warm for dancing but comfy & tons of compliments!

Great for autumn wedding! I could've worn either the 2 or the 4 but went with the 4 to have a little more wiggle room/comfort while dancing. Was able to wear a regular bra with it. Noting that I'm 5'6, ordered the regular length but only wore 3 inch heels with it so length was great!

Very flattering dress for lots of body types!

Loved this dress so much! Wore it for my 20 year high school reunion (+ a Twista concert in one!). The attire was elevated cocktail, and I got so many compliments all night long! This would also work for a semi formal or even formal wedding guest dress. Bonus that I could wear a regular (plunge) bra with it! I am a size 12 (occasionally 14 if things run smaller) and the 12 fit perfectly. My friend who was a size 0 to 2 rented it last fall for a wedding, and it looked perfect on her too. Would rent again!

Felt so comfortable and confident. Received several compliments. Fitting for the formal gala.

Perfect for evening wear. I felt the cut was a bit short at the ankle. Wear nice shoes, as they will be seen. Additionally, I tend to run hot, but I got warm easily in this.
