Absolutely stunning dress! Was a little tight in the bust area, but that just allowed me to go braless. Definitely need help zipping up. Material is nice & thick so no shapewear needed underneath. Length was perfect with 3in heels.

Wore to a gala. Fit perfectly around the chest but did wear a strapless bra under to help keep from slipping down. If you aren't blessed with much up top, you may need the extra support. I also wore some pretty tall chunky heels (3"-4") since I am 5'3" on a good day, which made the length perfect. Was comfortable all night and felt stunning.

I’m a busty girl and this dress was PERFECTION except for by the end of the night it loosened a bit in the bust. I wish I had sized down one size just so I wouldn’t have to worry about it falling. I also could have worn a strapless bra to help keep it up but it’s a bit of a reverse sweetheart and I didn’t want to worry about it showing so I went braless. I added a black scarf and it was stunning for a black tie wedding. 

I ordered it but usually don't go for strapless because I have a larger chest and don't like adjusting. THIS DRESS, help my body so beautifully and was comfortable ALL night. The way the light captures the blue sparkles is breathtaking and I got soooo many compliments!! 

The top fit like a glove, no pulling up through the night. I was also 29 weeks pregnant and the top fit nicely with plenty of room for my belly to sit under the waistline. Length was not to the floor on me but I am 5’11 so that was expected. I was happy with where it hit at the ankle though! 

I typically wear a 2/4 so the small was a perfect fit.

I’m not usually a fan of strapless dresses but I loved this one. Fit great, the top was a little big but wore a padded bra to help out. Got tons of compliments on it. 

Absolutely loved this dress, perfect shape for pear shaped ladies, the colors were perfect for a winter wedding, only complaint was that the top had a tiny bit of room so I had to pull it up a few times, but overall stayed pretty firm throughout the night of jumping and dancing

Fit like a glove - design is gorgeous and in a rich, heavy fabric. Perfect for a black tie wedding. A winner! 

I ordered a small and it was way too big, XS fit and was surprisingly comfortable, so size down!

Wore this to a gala awards, fantastic fit! Felt like a princess. Need a good strapless bra if you have a bigger bust, but it has great support! 

Stayed up very well and was comfortable. Slightly itchy corset top but otherwise great!

What a gorgeous, unique gown. The blue stitching has a shimmer that catches the light in the most luminous way.  The top is for sure fitted- but even with 36G cup it gave them a really flattering shape- no bra needed/ but the XL was what fit my chest even though I'm only a size 10.  I wore a shawl when I wanted a little more coverage-- and I'm 5'10" and wish it came in a long size, but it worked just fine with a kitten heel! 

My only feedback is that I *WISH* so badly it had pockets- that would've given it a 10!! 

Rented for a black tie wedding, got a ton of compliments! The top is a little loose if you’re small chested like me, but a padded bra made it work. I’m also pretty short so would recommend heels if you’re under 5’4” (advice I did not take so it was a bit long on me). Would absolutely rent again for a similar kind of event.

Wore this to a black tie optional wedding and felt like a princess. It was gorgeous. I will be renting again

This dress is beautiful and fit well everywhere but the chest. I had to stuff to fill it out. I’m also tall and do wish the dress had been slightly longer, but it’s still worked with heels. Overall, a very beautiful and flattering dress.

So many compliments, so classy - just was a little big in the waist area for me, and kind of in the bust. Had to wear a big push up. Needed high high heels too for the short gals

I wore a shawl during part of the night. 
The corset boning gave it good structure (no need for a bra) but pinched a little at the end of the night. I was able to wear my 5.5 inch heels and it was the perfect length. 

Had an amazing time at the military ball in this dress! -1 Star for the part against your ribs that is tight and not stretchy. I usually wear 8-10 in dresses and the large fit perfectly! I don’t have a large chest so I put a strapless bra on underneath and worked perfectly! Wore a small heel to lift the dress from the floor. I use rent the runway for my dresses every year!! ☺️❤️

I’m small chested and I would have had to wear a big bra and lots of tape to make this hold up. Fit great in the waist. It’s nice if you like the conservative route. But does not do much as far as emphasizing body shape I guess. 

Loved this dress!! It was so flattering and truly gorgeous. 

This dress was stunning! Photographed beautifully and was easy to wear and style. Loved the heavier material as I wore it for an event in winter in a location with below freezing temperatures. Size large worked for me. It was a little big in the bust but stayed up even though it is strapless. Was able to step into it and zip easily as a size 14 pants and 36B bust. Seriously in love with it!

If I had a bigger chest it would maybe be snug but it fit me perfectly 

This is probably the most beautiful dress I have ever worn. Photos don't do the colors justice. It is truly breathtaking in person. I also thought it stayed up well.

I'm not typically an xs but the s was way too big

Small in the bust- if you have over a C cup be careful! Other than that a gorgeous dress

Loved this dress but really surprised how large the top was. I ultimately wore another dress. 

Fit was incredible I just wish it had come in a different color to wear to a November wedding

It fits true to size. Fabric is thick. I ended up wearing a different dress that had a little more “wow-factor” 

This was a true ball gown that made me feel regal, and I got multiple compliments. I only wish it came in numeric sizes since I'm typically between an 8 and a 10, and I couldn't quite zip up the Medium but the Large was a tad too big on the torso -- I had to use fabric tape to keep the bodice of the Large up. Maybe it would be okay for those with a larger chest?

beautiful design, just decided on another dress, maybe will wear it another event

Loved this. Felt like a princess, but the gap of black felt awkwardly placed. I wish the pattern continued throughout the entire dress. Was so comfy to wear! And so well made. Ultimately, went with another gown

I’m a 40 B and this was way too large in the chest. 

Nice enough dress. Tight around rib cage, couldn’t even zip it closed 

So it’s probably on me for attempting a strapless gown with a bigger chest (32DDD), but there was no way this was going to keep up with the dancing I was planning to do as a wedding guest! When I tried it on, I was constantly pulling it up.  Beautiful design, though!!
