This is a longer style, mid calf on me (5'1") but i love the fabric and cut. Very comfortable and pretty warm for sleeveless. 

The fabric has a glamorous sparkle but the cut is very forgiving - perfect for a party or even under a denim jacket at the office. 

I sized up intentionally so that hung looser but loved the fit. The shimmer is perfect for holiday party and the cut is classic. 

I rented this for Christmas Eve service and was perfect. I am 24 weeks pregnant and it had great stretch and room. The fabric is kind of heavy and rough. I would size normally because of the stretch. Will rent again! 

Wore this to my work holiday party and absolutely loved it, got so many compliments. The slight shimmer was perfect and festive. Very comfortable, I wore a slip under it based on the other reviews and had no problems with itchiness. It is thick material and pleats are on the bulkier side, so it accentuated my 20 week bump, which was fine by me but if you are not pregnant you might not like that.

This dress was heavy but super comfortable. The dark blue metallic helped it stand out from your typical sea of LBDs. Ended up wearing it twice, and got compliments both times. Would rent again!

love this pretty, modern dress. the color is beautiful and the sparkle is fun without being too much. material is thick and high quality. it is not intended to fit tight to the body, even up top, so if you're looking for that, either size down or look elsewhere. might not be great for a shorter frame, because of the length. that said, it's great for taller gals and is very forgiving. i am probably going to buy this dress! 

Rented this dress for a baby shower and was a huge hit! Got so many compliments and felt great. Be ware the dress is a thicker material, so it is a little heavy but not uncomfortable. I also added a belt to give some definition to my waist. Felt it was too loose to wear w/out. Overall would totally recommend but be sure to size down. Runs big and has stretch 

This dress is awesome! Wore it to a fancy party at the aquarium. The blue shimmer was right on. Love the length (below knee on a tall girl) and weight for fall / winter. The only thing I noticed was when you sit, the dress kind of presses into your skin on your bum in an unpleasant way, so either avoid for sitting events or wear proper under garments. Otherwise it hangs beautifully while standing. Definitely a good standing event dress. 

Received compliments all night on this dress. It was sparkly, but not in a too showy way. Also it's very thick, high quality feel. Wore for an outdoor fall wedding and loved the weight. I wore this five months pregnant and the seam hit perfectly above the belly. Would rent again during this pregnancy and after. 

I wore this for a backyard wedding in 50 degree weather and it was perfect. It runs large, so size down. It does keep you a little warmer because it's heavy/dense fabric. It's prettier in person. The sparkles are awesome. I got tons of compliments. It's a unique dress that subtly stands out.

The dress is quite heavy and the material is itcy.....but its totally worth it!  Great dress!

Runs massive so size down a couple of sizes. The heavy material works well for the winter. Ended up wearing the dress to work and then to a party straight afterwards, was complimented on it at both. 

I wore this for Christmas Eve amd received so many conploments. The dress is so well made and very unique looking. Definitely best for a thin frame.

Beautiful, luxurious dress with much more sparkle than I expected. It worked really well with a belt but I think this style would only work well on taller girls. 

This dress is not normally anything I gravitate towards.  In a lot of dresses I'm a large but based on the fabric and reviews I went with a Medium.  It's a heavy dress on - I wouldn't recommend for Summer.  But it was beautiful for the warm Fall.  I LOVED wearing it.  Felt beautiful and comfortable all night.  Can be dressed up or down.

This dress is SO comfortable, although the fabric is very heavy so I would be careful if it's hot where you are. It is also more sparkly than I thought it would be, but that dressed it up for this fancier occasion. I ordered a small and a medium, and went with the small because it fit me better up top (usually a 4-6 in tops and an 8 in bottoms). It was a great midi length on me (I'm 5'8" for reference). All in all, I was SO comfortable in this dress throughout a long evening. I would definitely recommend.

Loved the heavy fabric and sparkly color, made for a festive and warm look. However, the loose cut around the waist made me feel as if I was trying to hide a baby bump (which I was not)... but it can probably be solved with a belt, didn't try since I didn't had one with me that day.

This feels heavy and expensive, perfect for a winter event.  It wasn't available in my size, I hoped a medium would fit but there was too much extra material in the skirt and the arm holes were gaping. 

The sparkle is gorgeous.  The color made my six year-old say, "Wow, Mommy!"  I tried on five sweaters to see which one would "go" wih this dress. I'm not sure I found one but this was the best of the lot in my closet, as I didn't want to go with bare arms. I agree with a prior reviewer that this dress is best with a belt. I just didn't have one that looked right. 

This dress was perfect for a christmas party with all the sparkle. I got lots of compliments. The only downside and why i only gave four stars is that the lurex material is itchy. I had to find a slip from another dress to wear underneath to make it comfortable.  I dont think i could have worn the dress without that slip. 

This dress is a beautiful blue metallic color. The fit is good, if a little big due to the heavier weight of the fabric (which was perfect for an early fall wedding with time spent outside). Got many compliments and it was easy to dance! Paired with a nude two-strap heel. 

Lots of compliments, though one lady who complimented me also thought I was pregnant.... I have abs under there!!! So maybe go down a size

I rented this for a holiday party at work. I ended up not wearing it because it looked like a sack. Heavy material that weighed down, you could see my bra on sides. Material was itchy. Wouldn't recommend. 

So the one plus to this dress? It's comfy but that also is it's big problem. It's completely unflattering. The material is so thick and heavy, it just hangs!  I feel sizing down wouldn't have made a difference. Also, it kind of itches. I got this to up my work game. As I was driving to work I regretted wearing it.  Can't wait to send it back first thing tomorrow so I can try something else. 

Flattering and great fit.  Typically I don't love knit sweater dresses but this lured knit was crisp and held its silhouette nicely.  My only complaint was the armholes were a little low on me and I had to get creative to his my strapless bra where it was peeping out. Might be fine in someone with larger boobs. 

I was not expecting this dress to be as heavy as armor with putting it on, but it was. Wore in early spring so it was OK. A tad itchy but not too bad. Sparkly attractive fabric and pleaded base. Appropriate for work. Sized up and Wore early second trimester. 

Didn't look super great with my second trimester bump - with the pleats, I just looked a bit too much like an upside-down umbrella haha. But generally this is a lovely, well-crafted dress. great color, would consider renting again post-bump.

Wore during second trimester pregnancy with a belt. Was sort of heavy but feels luxe. Lots of compliments and very comfy. 

As the other reviewers mention, this runs very large! Size down one or two sizes. 

The dress is not fitted in the waist, but it was great for a first trimester outfit. The fabric is heavy and very pretty, shimmer is subtle. 

Absolutely loved this dress. It was perfect for my birthday dinner out with friends. Though it's not the most flattering because of the umpire waste and heavy material, I belted it and added a more fitted leather jacket over it and it was super cute. Very comfortable and easy. 

This dress is absolutely fab! I'm 33 weeks pregnant -- the XS fit great and made me feel awesome. Might have been a bit big not pregnant. I'm petite but the length was fine. It's a beautifully made dress. 

This dress is magic, it does run loose around the waist and the material is heavy (which I didn't mind for winter wear) but otherwise it's literal perfection. So sparkly and fun, I love the neckline and the pleat combo. Highly recommend this number for any special occasion!

Runs a lite bit large, but still looks gorgeous. Would fit better on a taller girl
