This dress is so feminine and I received so many compliments!

Loved this dress! It hit mid shin, fitted to the waist and flared out so nice and flattering from belly/hips. Could wear a regular bra (there was a little snap on the strip to keep a bra strap in place), did not need to wear any shape wear, and it has pockets! I felt confident and not self conscious at all in this dress. Perfect for many occasions. 

PROS: This dress fit me like a glove (I wore my regular size). The shape and structure of this dress really flattered my hourglass figure. It certainly accentuates the bust, which I liked because it was also supportive and did not require a bra. The color is beautiful and material is nice and heavy for a fall/winter wedding.

CONS: the dress looked a little too worn, with some of the edges and seams starting to fray. This was not noticeable to others, but I think it's time to replace this dress.

This dress was very comfortable for a March wedding in New York! The color was beautiful and the fabric was comfortable. The cut was fun to dance in all night and I could eat without having to suck it in all night!! 

I didn't want to return this dress. I rented it for a wedding and it turned out to be perfect since IT SNOWED IN SEPTEMBER! Loved the thick fabric and pockets! The 6 fit me fine, but I decided to wear the 8 since it gave a little more room in the bust so I could wear a push up bra. This dress is generous with cleavage and perfect length to show off your favorite heels. I paired with a nude clutch and nude Mary Janes. For reference I am 5'6" and 145 lbs, 34DD and curvy bottomed.

This dress was a beautiful wine color and was extremely flattering! I'd highly recommend it for anyone who needs it for a more conservative event because it's longer on the bottom (below the knee) and doesn't show too much cleavage

I have a very wide back and a small chest so I have a lot of trouble deciding between sizes 6 and 8. Went with the 6, it was a little snug in the waist but the fabric has some stretch. Fabric is nice but very heavy, would have been better for a fall or winter event. I wore no bra. Length was perfect for my height. Silhouette definitely adds volume at the hips which was great for me but might not be everyone’s favorite. Got a ton of compliments.

The neckline of the dress is what drew me to it and I absolutely loved how it looked. The dress was made of thick, sturdy fabric, which was very comfortable. I enjoyed that the pockets were sizable, and could fit the contents of my clutch into them without it looking bulky due to the material and silhouette of the dress.
My only complaint is that I feel the straps were a bit long, which surprised me due to my long torso and chest size. I would recommend wearing a low-cut bra or using fashion tape.
Would definitely rent this dress again!

I loved this dress. It was a little tight on the bust for me (I wore the 4 and have a 34DD bust). However, the 6 was a little too big everywhere else so I still went with the smaller size. It was SO flattering. Really emphasizes an hourglass figure. I wouldn't get it if you want a modest look and have a larger chest. Paired w floral kitten heels and got a ton of compliments. 

Great construction, which I look for as a rather busty woman. Great fit through waist, but definitely way longer than tea length on my 5'5" frame. I got some iron-on hemming and did a temporary hem which solved that, but even with some clipping the straps were way too long. As a 36DD woman, having a dress be way to large in the bust was a totally new problem for me, one I'm not very adept at handling lol, so beware, it can get a little risque at times. 
Still a great dress and I got a lot of compliments!

Gorgeous. So flattering and comfortable. I love the thick fabric, the cut, color and of course the pockets!!! So many compliments and I felt like a million bucks. Love this dress. I wish I could buy it. RTR for the win yet again!!!

Fit like a dream. Cinched at the waist and the flow out made for a completely comfortable evening, not worrying about having to suck in. I didn't even try on the 8 cause the 6 fit so well. Enough cleavage without being too much. Color was perfect for a winter wedding. 

POCKETS!

Only con is that it had strap snaps to hold onto bra straps, but they didn't fit quite right and hurt my shoulders and made it so you could see my bra from the side. Good idea in theory, just didn't work great. 

This dress exceeded all my expectations! In the photos, I thought the dress may be too plain, but it was much fancier looking in person. 

It fit perfectly and accentuated all the right places. I was nervous that the neckline would be too low, but it was great and still allowed me to wear a regular bra. The dress straps even have snaps to help hide your bra straps. And to top it all off, it has pockets!  

Cleavage galore, but tasteful. Didn't need a bra - wore petals. Length was a little off for 5'6", but I feel the tea length style is in, so although may have felt off to me, I was still in style. Color is gorgeous. Material is heavy and hangs beautifully. Pockets are a huge plus! 

The fit was good, I wanted a size 8 but it wasn't available at that time. Like the other reviews state, this dress comes with a fair amount of cleavage but I mitigated mine by using tape. The fabric was heavier and draped really well. It was nice especially because I was at an outdoor wedding in November!  

Wow this dress is gorgeous. The fabric is heavy and thick and the color is a deep garnet. Plenty of fabric in the skirt to make you feel feminine and the seam between the skirt and bodice is well placed to create a flattering silhouette. The bodice is tight and it's cut pretty low in the back - I only just managed to get it zipped over spanx. The low point of the sweetheart neckline is waaaay down there, like at the bottom of your sternum - I am not one to shy away from a low-cut top but I was not willing to wear this around my coworkers and bosses. A woman with a smaller chest than mine (38G) would likely do very well in this dress but it was a bit too much boobs even for me so I didn't end up wearing it. I still give it 5 stars though because it is excellently constructed, I adore the fabric, and it's hella flattering. If my shape changes, I would definitely rent this again. (for measurement comparison, I am 5'5", ~200lb, and usually wear a 14/16).

I loved this dress so much! It had just the right amount of stretch, thick fabric, perfect for a fall wedding. Plus it has pockets! Will definitely rent again. 

Fit perfectly, felt great. Heavy material, feels luxurious. Beautifully made. And it has pockets! I loved it. I'm 5'3" and it hit mid calf. Also rented a suggested clutch that matched perfectly.

Dress was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Gorgeous style, fit and color!

I was skeptical when I rented this because the neckline isn't really my style, but I'm so glad I went through with it! I'm still not crazy about the neckline, but it is super flattering and the color is GORGEOUS - perfect for fall. The fabric was also great for a color day and overall the dress fit like a glove and was really comfortable. I loved the length and of course, the pockets were an added bonus. The one thing that was kind of awkward was the seam that runs horizontal where the pockets are (below the waist). It almost looks like the dress was split in half and sewn back together... but you really don't notice it much and overall it's super flattering. I highly recommend if you're looking for a simple, elegant style. 

It was a good dress for post baby. Fitted up top with a full skirt. It is tea length (I'm 5'6"). Great fall color. I did wear a strapless bra, but you could probably get away with a regular one. 

I rented 4R and sized down to 2R as my backup.  4R felt a little big so I ended up wearing 2R.  4R had snaps on the straps to keep your bra in place, but 2R didn't have this feature so I ended up wearing it without a bra.  The bodice is tight enough to provide support for a larger chest.  The straps were a tad too big but that was the only issue I had with the dress.  As a short person, the dress length was to my mid-calf, maybe a little lower.  The material is very thick, and there are pockets!  I would rent this again.

This was a beautiful dress. I wore the 6 and it worked (needed some major padding as im 36b and the chest area is roomy). I would have preferred the 4 but it wasnt available. Overall a beautiful dress, great thick fabric perfect for a fall/winter wedding or event. 

I loved this dress, you can wear a bra and it has pockets! Such a great color for a fall wedding. I loved having pockets because I kept my phone with me and took tons of great pics! I ordered the 10 and the 12 and preferred the length of the 10. I did wear spanx to keep it all in, but probably didn't need to! You could go without a bra, but I love cleavage! 

This dress is beautiful! I wore it for a formal wedding. The cut and style are flattering, and the color is beautiful. The back is low, so I had to wear a strapless bra (not a big deal). I thought it had an Audrey Hepburn feel to it. I’ll definitely rent again! 

I am 125lbs and 5'6'' and a bra size 32D with an hourglass build. This dress hit me in all the right spots and I was able to wear it without a bra. The only drawback was occasionally the straps would slip while I was dancing. The color is beautiful and I got tons of compliments!! 

The pictures and even the reviews of this dress gave me so much hope. But at 5'2 this dress looked ridiculous on me. And the material was so, so heavy that even if it fit, I wouldn't have been able to wear it in summer. I truly felt like I had a curtain on. 

Absolutely in love with this dress - I rented it as part of Unlimited and kept trying it on for weeks ahead of my event because I loved twirling around in it. I'm in between a size 12 and 14 and probably could have sized up, but the 14 wasn't available and I was able to zip the 12. A little tight around the waist, but the skirt is very forgiving! I just barely filled out the bust so someone with a smaller chest who is still curvy might have a harder time with the proportions. The neckline is very low cut and I felt a little self-conscious when sitting down, but for standing/dancing it was great. The thick material really sucks you in and gives you really nice definition at the waist, but isn't too warm or restricting. Total win and highly recommended (I'm keeping this one, yay Unlimited!)

My bf loved it so much he said I should buy it! I'm 5'2, 34C (around 120lbs ?) and hourglass and it fit like a GLOVE. Felt seriously gorgeous (if a little on the cleavage-y side for a more conservative crowd) and the color is this lovely deep maroon, with great structure and thick fabric and POCKETS. It hit me closer to midi/above ankles (since I'm not a 5'10+ model as pictured) but I honestly loved the length and thought the cut/color/length combo was elegant and still modern. Also, I wore spanx but this would be a great dress if you're trying to hide a bit of lower tummy. Absolutely recommend! 

Extremely comfortable. A bit loose in the straps so I had to pull it up occasionally while dancing and more low cut than the picture had me believe but that probably just because I have a larger chest. Pockets were a nice touch as well! 

Very heavy fabric, lots of cleavage (DD). Enough support to skip buying a low back strapless bra. 

Perfect fit, perfect color.  No cons.. Well worth it!!

I wore this dress for my engagement photo. I loved it! I got so many compliments from this beautiful dress.

I rented this dress to wear to a charity gala.  Only the one size was available so I rolled the dice.  It fit perfectly, awesome material, pockets, so many compliments.  I have never been so sad to send a dress back!  I loved it!

This dress is so flattering.  I wore a 4 and I'm 16 weeks pregnant,  I'm usually a 2 in dresses.  The top is classy but could be a little revealing on women with a larger bust.  I am 5'6 and this dress hit mid-calf, so anyone shorter might look a little funny in this dress.  It is definitely made for formal events. I felt slightly overdressed in this at my husband's Medical Residency Graduation, however I got so many compliments.  Overall I loved this dress, very comfortable.  

I really love the color and cut of this dress's neckline, as well as the pockets! I could get into a 12, but I felt a little packed in, so I wore the 14, which ended up feeling too big by the end of the night. I would've worn the 12 in retrospect (live and learn). 

I used some boob tape to keep my bra straps contained, and I also used removable hem tape to shorten the dress up a little. The length of the 12 was fine, but the 14 was probably 2" longer, so it was near ankle-length. That made the hem have a bit of a bubble at the bottom, which I oddly got complimented on, so all good!

I wore it to a Memorial Day wedding, which was unfortunately completely outside and not air-conditioned (didn't know that in advance). The weight of the fabric and the voluminousness of the skirt were not the ideal combo to spend 6+ hours in 85 degree heat. (Please excuse a piece of my husband failing at a photo-booth in the photo.)

I wore this dress for a wedding. I thought it would be too long since i am only 5'4 but my gosh was i wrong. The dress fit perfect! It hugged the right places and made me feel like the most beautiful person in the room. I received compliments all night. I even considered purchasing. I loved it and it hurt to send it back lol. Perfect for us plus size girls!

The dress fit great.  The full skirt is fantastic and makes your waist look tiny.  The neckline is great for some oomph but might get a bit risque for bigger chests.  The back dipped maybe a half-inch too low, so you could see the top part of my bra band but my bra (actually two bras, to help give myself the best shot at cleavage possible) needed to be that high, so I just accepted it.  The color is lovely and matched the Wine Red Karima Clutch I rented perfectly.

I felt very pretty in this dress, so I'm grateful for that and highly recommend the dress.  The fabric is pretty heavy, which makes it fall really nicely (second photo) and look great in photos but it did get a little hot dancing.  That being said, the length was perfect for dancing.  Long enough to feel quite formal but nowhere near touching the floor.

I loved the color and length. Warm weather just arrived to Minnesota and my legs werent ready to be seen by the public. This dress is made for those with larger busts but it is quite tight in the rib cage. I felt comfortable and beautiful which i think are both important. 

Wonderful dress, heavy material but easy to wear. Loved the pockets!
Has built in "bra strap hiders" helped keep the dress up, it was a touch too big for me but I wore it anyway
