I ordered a 4R and though the body fit well it was a little long, but not to where it was a nuisance.  I'm 5'2 and wore 4" heels so that helped a lot.  One downside is if you have a bigger chest (I'm a 34DD" then risk your nipple almost popping out. I was doing a lot of dancing and raising my arms and I caught my nipple trying to escape a few times. 

This dress looked divine: the thick, stretchy fabric hugged every curve while creating a smooth silhouette. I typically wear a size 4 but it wasn't available so I rented a size 2, which still gaped over my 32B chest. And the piece de resistance, the strap that goes around the neck, is stitched in the front and has 3 hook-&-eye closures in the back, was literally so tight it was choking me the entire time I had the dress on. I would not have been able to keep it on more than 30 minutes or so.

This dress was amazing for a Gala. Nice thicker fabric. It held me in very well but I could still dance all night! I did wear the 6... I'm typically a 4 but the 6 fit the best in the chest. Great dress- real show stopper. 

Curvy, sexy, cleavage-y, and comfortable! I wore some spanx to keep everything tight and smooth because the dress is definitely fitted. I was able to dance and raise my arms without a worry! Neck strap did come too loose so had to adjust and use fashion tape. 

Was a little large on me and flared a good bit like an A-line cut, more than I liked. However, having been postpartum, I enjoyed the roominess and that it doesn't cling across the tummy. Length was awesome, as I'm 5'10 and could wear real heels with it. The top is a bit revealing and is best with those "sticky cup" adhesive bras.

The dress fit like a glove!! The fabric is thick so I did not have to wear any shape wear. Very form fitting! Would definitely wear again. 

Everything about this dress is amazing. It fits perfectly, you can move, relax and it has this sexy edge that everyone will compliment on. Just rent it!

This fit like a glove, and I received so many compliments. I felt so glamorous.

This dress is amazing!!! I wore it to a black tie wedding and got so many compliments. It’s sexy and classy at the same time! 

This gown is definitely a show stopper. The bust area fit perfectly!

The fit was a little weird at the top as the straps were too tight around the neck but loose around the chest. I made it work though. I got lots of compliments and the dress was very comfortable and flattering!

Comfortable, great for all body types, and slimming

This dress was perfect for a 7 course meal on the Seine in Paris on New Year's Eve at a black tie event. No question, this dress made my night! It was perfectly sized with just enough give and made me look like a celeb. I would rent this dress again, no question!

Dress fit like a glove! Loved the super material! Felt amazing in it!

This dress is NOT for the modest, full busted woman - but if you're game - it is a great dress!  I found this dress to be very slimming also!

So many compliments and so flattering. I am 5'9 and absolutely needed the long but other than that it was perfect. Absolutely a show stopper. 

Hugged my curves perfectly, was stretchy and comfortable and I got a ton of compliments. Only small complaint would be that it's a little loose in the bust so if you don't have much up top you might be pulling it up all night. Still a great dress though.

I ordered 6 and 8 but wore the 8 because of my chest size. Tight around the neck a bit by the end of the night. I wore no bra because it wasn't needed. I received so many compliments Two woman tracked me down and said my dress was the bomb and the best dress at the Galla!!! I would buy this dress. 

The dress fit is tight with thick material, Wish it had slit bc was hot. The boob area is small for bigger boobs (34D) and pulls day at bottom causing a sagging look. Was worried about boob pooping out few times. It your comfortable with mega cleavage & curves out than this is your dress. 

This was my replacement dress but it was incredible! I ordered it last minute so the only available size was a 14P instead of my usual 14R, but it ended up working great and showed off my heels nicely! The strap around the neck was a little long but I just pinned it and it was fine. 

This dress was beautiful and I got plenty of compliments all night! It was worn to a white tie Gala. I was a little bummed out when I first got it- the boob area was odd. It was smashing my boobs in an odd way.. hard to explain but it seems everyone else who left reviews on this dress also commented that area being a little weird. The neck part on the 8L wasn't long enough for me either. I ended up having to shift the dress up to get it snapped which just looked ridiculous. I'm 5'9, 180lbs with 34D chest... I ended up wearing the 10L which gave me extra fabric in the belly area and above my butt. Kinda wish it had a slit up the back or side. 

The dress fit perfectly! I am only 5'1 so finding a long dress is always an issue for me. I wore 3 inch heels with it and it was the perfect length! I received compliments all night long! 

Tight in busy area which is why I had Togo up a size

The dress was very comfortable and moves with you. My only con is with me being short waisted I had to pin the straps and bustline a little to keep the dress from sliding down and showing my under garment.

I ordered this after reading reviews that it was a great dress for those of us with large busts. As you can see from the photo, it was almost obscene. There was no way I could attend a gala with my husbands work colleagues in a dress I was falling out of :(. It got sent back. Beautiful dress though. Would have tried in a larger size had it been available.

As most other reviews said, the cross straps in the front are quite long, but a couple safety pins solved that problem. The fabric is thick, stretchy & comfortable. Oh & your boobs will look great. I wasn’t initially sold on how simple the dress was as someone who likes to stand out, but I got sooo many compliments & definitely turned some heads. Loved this dress a lot!

This dress is definitely a knock out! I felt sexy and glamorous! The neck/arm straps are definitely long, so be sure to pin them or they'll be constantly off center.

This was my backup dress, and I knew as soon as I slipped it on it was the right choice!  My figure is hourglass - 36DD and generous booty/hips/thighs - and I am a little more "fluffy" right now than I like, so I was nervous about a black tie event and finding the right dress.  With a black strapless and shapewear, I felt like my curves were accentuated and my waist minimized, and my boyfriend could not take his eyes off me all night!  The fabric is heavy and smooths out lumps/bumps, and holds it all in.  Like others, I did have to pull up the chest a few times so my bra did not show, but it was not a big deal.  I am short - 5'3" - and the petite length was perfect with heels.  The neck strap was fine sitting and standing, and the dress stretchy enough for free movement - dancing, bending, sitting.  Only one minor issue - slight seam rip down low on one side, but it was the loose area and I did not notice until the reception.  I called and let them know when I returned, and they sent me a discount code - very nice!

A lovely, classic and classy number, this dress gleaned compliments from the moment I entered the venue. I was determined not to wear black and had a very cute pink dress as a backup, however, this proved to be the one (paired with a red clutch and matching stiletto). The top shifted a little occasionally, showing a bit of the bra in TVs neckline.  I wore a nude bra and only had to adjust a few times. It was suggested that I keep the dress, but I had to explain that unfortunately with #RTR it's a 'catch and release' program! LOL 

it fit me really loose on my bust area because the neck part was too loose and long but i think it was because i'm really short. i wore heels and it still did that so i'm not sure how it could be fixed, maybe a smaller size. i wore the 2 but maybe i needed a zero lol just be aware. i had it pinned in the picture 

Fit great through the busy, waist, and hips. The straps were just a little too long so the bust slipped down a little bit but with the right black bra it was barely noticeable and gave great cleavage. 

Nice, classic sexy, fits good.
I had to put a pin on the criss-cross halter, as it orig hook was way too big around my neck. 

Wore this to a hospital gala. I was going for an elegant look with just a touch of sexy and this dress got the job done! The 6L fit me perfectly. Comfortable, love the criss cross neck line. 

I rented this for a black tie wedding and felt wonderful in it. It's snug but sexy, and I had no issue moving around and dancing in it. The only caveat is that the chest area was a bit gapey and a strapless bra was visible from the top of the dress so I went braless, despite not quite filling it out. Still, I highly recommend this. You'll feel like a million bucks. 

The material is nice , fits very fitted and very flattering , but the neck piece and bust area are TOO big ... I'm a 36C and the bust area was too big . You could literally see inside my dress and see my bra ... and the straps were so long . Pinning it made it looks weird... did not wear this dress . Length was good I'm 5"7 and I got the long 

The fit is pretty true size. I'm 5'6, 135 lbs. I picked the 4 Regular. The fit was perfect. 

I'm 5'2", 120 lbs, 34A and the size 2 fit great with the exception of the chest which was a little big; nothing my bombshell bra couldn't fix. I felt amazing in this dress was so happy I went with this for my event. 

Pros: a sleeper hit / understated sexy / thick fabric hides imperfections around the midsection or bottom. 

Cons: halter can be a restrictive while seated / the dress is long (I am 5'3" and needed to wear my tallest heels)

The material is thick but slimming/flattering. Got lots of compliments, it was a fun dress without being too over the top!
