I usually wear a 6 in dresses and rented a large - and even then, I could barely lift my arms over my head! That said, it's a gorgeous dress, and I wore it for a valentine's day black tie party and got compliments all night. It's not terribly long (I'm 5'4" and got away with wearing 1" heels). 

Chose this as a back up dress and landed up loving it. Arms are weirdly long but look fine once they're on. Wore to a black tie event

Love this dress fit perfectly no tape needed for the girls. 

Warm enough for October indoor/outdoor event in Philly. Flattering. Only issue is I couldn’t raise my arms over my head. Many compliments! 

This dress was stunning! Loved the sleeve detail and the open back. I'm only 5'3 and the length was perfect with heels!

This dress was so gorgeous on - I wore it to a wedding and was complimented all day. Comfortable too!

Classy, comfy, a total wow dress is a quiet way. Highly recommend

What an incredible dress! I'm 5"7, size 4-6 and ordered an S. It was slightly tight around the waist and the arms, but manageable. May be too long for shorter ladies. There is a hook for the breasts, so the cleavage doesn't go too low, but it doesn't look good with the hook on. Got lots of compliments. Even the bride said I was the best dressed of the evening! Would 100% wear again! 

TTS, luxe feel and even more stunning irl. 

This dress was perfect for an October wedding! So many compliments.

True to size! A little bit tighter in the waist, but very flattering. I was apprehensive about wearing, because it was warmer outside and not feeling very velvet-y with the temperature. I received compliments all night long! 

Long length wasn't available for my dates, but regular still looked good.  Dress is beautiful, received a lot of compliments.  Shoulder pads give it a nice structure.  I'm between a 10 and 12 size and the XXL fit great.

I rented this for a December formal event and it fit the bill perfectly! My waist measures approx. 28”; the SR size was tight but it did fit nicely - unfortunately the zipper on one of the sleeves was busted so I was unable to wear it. The MR size worked fine and I got tons of compliments in it. The sleeves felt a bit too long but as others have commented they’re meant to be a bit ruched/scrunched. The length was fine for me at 5’5” with some heels.


I chose my hair up because sure the dress is busy enough and a simple necklace. The slit is high in case you were making a decision based on that. I used some fabric tape to close it up a bit. 

Love this dress. 

Having a back up size was perfect! I thought a 4 would work but I needed a 6. Sending it back was a breeze and it was seamless. My hubby and I won best dressed for the event. 

This dress had a splash of Victorian influence with the shoulder pads and the velvet lace material. I’m 5’3”, and without platform heels, this dress would have dragged on the floor. The V-plunge in the front is really deep and it has a clasp closure that might work on a smaller bust, but beware for bigger busts. Some boob tape is definitely needed if you don’t wear anything underneath and having some dress tape will help for added security. The back is open so prepared to show some skin, but it balances nicely with the long sleeves and length of the dress. The more fitting section of the dress was the upper torso, mainly the arms and waist, so I would take that in mind when renting. The sleeves were long but narrow, which doesn’t give much room for stretch. However, take a chance on this dress if you’re daring for a twist on a gown. 

Rented this dress for a wedding. It's beautiful. I recommend sizing up
I read through the other reviews who said they had trouble with the arm area, they were (mostly) right. Both arms had a zipper, so before putting the dress on, I unzipped the sleeves and zipped them back on, did not have an issue there. 
BUT, i couldnt lift my arms all the way up all night. I accepted that after reading the reviews and its a small price to pay to look good in this dress
The waist was pretty tight, but with spanx it fit perfectly fine
This is not a *sitting* dress, which i was okay with since I was dancing all night anyways. I wore 2 inch heels and didn't have an issue with the length (I', 5 ft 5)
Lastly, it is a low v-cut dress with a clasp but I kept the dress unclasped and didn't have any issues
