I wore rhis to my work Christmas party and it was perfect! I’m 5’2”, 120lbs, 34B- I isually wear 2P but this fit very well despite not being a petite dress. If you have a fuller chest there was plenty of room.  I added a belt to define the waist a bit. Would definitely recommend this dress!

Loved this dress! BUT - there is absolutely no stretch to the fabric and it rides up when sitting. Not awesome for a long day at the office, but definitely cute for a costume party or a night out. I love the sleeve details and the fabric. I wore it for Halloween and would rent again.

Belted a peplum & pinned a satin bow to the shoulder to 80s-up this dress for an 80s Prom fundraiser for my daughter's school. I have broad shoulders and though I'd usually wear a 10, the 12 was needed. 

I rented this and another dress for a party and ended up liking the other one better so I just wore this to work, which isnt really the best venue for it - its sort of too short and tight to be comfortable for all day. This kind of fitted short style isnt really my thing but its what rtr is perfect for, so I wish I'd had somewhere betterto wear it. There is no stretch so the arm/shoulder area is a little restricted (probably not great for dancing). On my hourglass body, as usual for this silhouette, it was fairly tight in the hips and thighs but not at all in the waist. Not super short but a few inches above the knee, and hikes up short when sitting.

The quality is great - really plush, ink-black velvet with a few special accents like the covered buttons at the cuffs and the puffed shoulders. All in all a very nice dress for a cocktail party.

I received many compliments on this dress! I liked it overall but know it is not stretchy material and rides high when you sit. I added a belt because it was a tad big in the waist but a size smaller wouldve been too tight in the arms. 

I really loved this dress! It ran a bit small, especially since it is velvet and doesn't have any give to it. It was a challenge to put on because of the way it is made, but so worth it! I'm 5'6 and change, and it was a little short when I sat down, but not obscenely so. The dress is classy and beautiful. I got tons of compliments! 

This dress was perfect for dressing up in the winter because the velvet material was really warm. The sleeves near the puffy shoulders were really itchy but I easily fit a long sleeve thermal underneath to cover the itchy part and also stay extra warm. I would suggest sizing up because the dress doesnt have a lot of give. I got a ton of complimens and loved wearing this dress!

This dress was amazing, the fabric was thick but not restricting.  Im 5'11 and it was not too short (which is difficult to find).  The puffy sleeves added a little fun to this otherwise timeless dress.

Loved this dress!  The puffy sleeves, the fit and construction of this dress made it perfect for a holiday party. As kthwrs reviewed there is no give in the fabric but i ordered a size up and it worked perfectly!  Loved everything about it. 

Very nice material and elegant. Im 5'9" 200pounds 38ddd curvy. I really liked this dress but didn't love it simple because it was a bit snugged and short. I suggest going a size up. 

This dress is classy but with a funky edge because of the structural sleeve poofs. I loved wearing this to a benefit/gala and got lots of compliments. My only complaint is that the zipper is NOT smooth or easy to maneuver. It sticks and gets caught in the lining on the way up-- I had to get some to help me get in and out of it. All in all a great rental though! 

I got so many compliments and I felt so glamorous in this dress! I wish I owned it!

The zero fit perfectly. The length was great on me (I'm 5'2") - short enough to be a little sexy but not so short I was worried about sitting or bending over. The sleeve length was also great. I wore it out to the theatre and felt very classy and appropriate. The long sleeves were nice in the air-conditioning and also for the fall weather; I didn't need to carry a jacket or a wrap. The dress is very black though, so you might want sparkly or bright-colored accessories to accentuate the look.

I loved wearing this dress. The sleeves make it very unique but still a classic. The velvet is so soft! Wore with black suede wedges for a powerful look.

Rented this for a work cocktail party at a country club - was different enough to not be a boring LBD. The sleeves/ shoulders and velvet put it on the "right" side of conservative for me, although it wasn't edgy enough for me to rent again. The sleeves fit a bit big for a 2, but the chest and bottom fit true to size for a 2. Not much give in it but was still comfortable. 

This dress is fantastic! Very fun and the design is great. The velvet is comfortable and is not thick so you will not be overly warm. The shoulder detail is amazing and the length is really nice. Would definitely rent again! 

To me, this dress looked more navy than black, but it was a rich, dark color that was very luxurious looking! It definitely runs big, so I'd recommend sizing down. At 5'5", it hit about 2-3 inches above my knee. I didn't think the sleeves were quite as puffy as in the photo, and the dress was nice and warm. Perfect for a Winter occasion! 

This dress was super flattering and I got lots of compliments. It was a tad tight around my legs but everywhere else was great. It's all velvet so def  not a good dress for summer or hotter weather. Great for cooler evenings

Doesn't have much give but I love this dress! I ended up not wearing it because it was 90 degrees out that day! Would rent agin!
