Loved it, comfy all night and loved the neckline!

Rented for a black-tie wedding - so comfortable and flattering! Has a Herve vibe. I would absolutely rent this again.

Great fit, hides imperfections, good for a wedding guest, got many compliments 

 This shimmering bronze dress fits like a glove! The fabric is stretchy and comfortable. I loved the long sleeves and the sexy neck line. I wore it to a formal event and received many compliments.

This formal look was perfect for my height. This dress is easy to wear and comfortable.  I didn’t realize that the gorgeous material glistens, as it looks matte in the photo.  Enlarge the photo to give it a closer look.  I would buy this dress.  

Could have worn the 4 but the 6 was slightly longer! Stunning dress!

Wore this dress to a NYE party. Was super comfortable and I received lots of compliments all night. Fit perfectly!

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

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. 

Really enjoyed wearing this dress. Snug AND forgiving. 

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. 

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!

Beautiful. Love the stretch . So it’s super comfortable. Definitely not too thick or hot, but perfect for a fall or winter event.

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!

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

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 

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. 

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. 

Wore this to a winter wedding and received so many compliments. Not only did this dress fit amazing, it felt great too, no shape wear but could easily disguise if needed. And the length was perfect with 3 inch heels 

This dress is gorgeous I didn't want to take it off 

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!

The fabric was stretchy and comfortable - the bump offset the length and worked out great for me at 4'11 in a 1 inch heel. 

Hugged every curve perfectly and is SO comfortable.

Super comfortable for dancing all night long. I love that they had a petite option. Dresses are never actually midis in me but this one was! 

Got tons of compliments as this dress shimmers like crazy. If you have boobs be ready to show the girls off. Good to wear with or without spanks 

Could wear a normal bra. 
Bunches in all the right places.
Perfect for an hour glass body type, lots of stretch
Sparkles in person
Just a tad short for me (5'9)

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.  

Obsessed! So many compliments. So flattering and perfect for black tie wedding. 

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. 

Very comfortable and stretchy fabric- wore for a Mardi Gras party with lots of dancing. I got a ton of compliments. 

Super comfy and perfect length for me at 5’0!

Fit like a glove and was comfortable all night. Flattering. Quick shipping and returns are so easy. 

Super flattering for my hourglass shape. Brought in the new year feeling confident and beautiful
 Absolutely loved this dress. 

Super comfortable dress and fit like a glove!

I liked the fit and shape a lot!!! But was too wintery for my event. The fabric is a touch itchy to the touch but was okay to try on and not rub too much. Would probably rent for a winter/fall event! 

Perfect for formal work event. Was shorter than expected, but worked out

It was nice, but you definitely need some shapewear to give any sort of curve. It's also pretty heavy!

Rented this dress and another for the Grammys—loved the sparkle, it was comfy and flattering, and I chose it also because it seems based on review that it was a good choice for shorter women. Ultimately it was too short with heels on to wear, and I selected the other dress. 

The color is pretty. I am 5 ft 7 and would definitely want a long. The regular length was a bit short. It is very pretty on other reviewers and the color us stunning. It is stretchy and super flattering on all body types. Im looking for a dress for something specific and this one felt a bit matronly on me. Other reviewers look stunning though, so I highly recommend trying. 

Itchy. A bit short. Not a huge fan of the cut/folding in the bust. 

I rented this dress for a nye wedding on a whim and I could not have possibly found a better dress for the occasion! SO COMFORTABLE, flattering, beautiful. Everything you want when you’re not feeling your most beautiful at almost 8 months pregnant. I got one size bigger than normal and it is the perfect amount of stretch. I am 5’4 and wore 4” heels, and the long was perfect! 

Absolutely loved this dress and got so many compliments. My only complaint is I wish I would’ve gotten the long instead of the regular length. 

I am only 5 foot 3, but the comments said how it was short, so I ordered the size 2 tall and it was perfect. 

This dress is beautiful. The material was very stretchy and comfortable. Slightly more sparkly in person, but not too much sparkle!

I rented it to wear to a black tie winter wedding. I ended up wearing a different rental dress to the event, but would definitely rent this dress again in the future!

This dress is a must for any formal event!! I was comfortable all night. I wore a size 4 which is true to size. The material is stretchy so it was perfect. I wore 4 inch thick heels. 

The material of this dress felt fantastic and the rouching in the midsection was nice. The sizing of this dress does run small, so you will want to go at least a size up.

I wanted to make sure I was wearing something different than all the other wives at my husbands formal Christmas party and this dress was perfect. The fit was stretchy, comfortable, and the ruching on the front/back kept it from showing any underwear lines. My only issue was that with pantyhose it ever so slightly hiked up as I was walking, so I took them off and was slightly chilly but that fixed the issue. 

A stunning formal dress for winter black tie. It's warm. Snug fit but flattering. 

I wore a 2P at 111 lbs, 5'3.75" - but my itty bitties and grandma bra kept showing (which you can see in the closer pic), so maybe I should've gone with the 0P. Kept me warm at a chilly rehearsal dinner but I felt like it was just ok.

Wore this to the Jeezy concert and it was comfy and warm! Loved it.

Loved this and got so many compliments! I wore a size 10 and it was great. I’d highly recommend shape wear underneath just for extra smoothing. 

The fit up top and throughout the arms is impeccable. A very comfortable bodycon type fit. That said, it was a little shorter than expected. I personally this would look much better on me floor length. I'm not particularly tall. But, if you're after something more casual than formal, this could be a look! In person the fabric has a nice sparkle to it. 

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.

Super comfy and flattering. The neck line was kind of weird but everyone complimented me so I can’t complain 

I liked this dress a lot! I’m about 18 weeks pregnant in this photo and the dress had good stretch to accommodate a growing bump. Good option for a formal event in the fall or winter, especially if you’re looking for something bump friendly!
