Tempest Gown

This truly is a beautiful dress. I love gowns that feel rich in material and structured. This is it. There’s absolutely no give … Size up! I’m about 150 pounds. I probably could’ve gone down a size, but I felt comfortable and glamorous. lol!

Runs very small, ordered my size and it didn’t fit so had to go up a size.

Glad I got the medium. Size up if you have a larger rib cage. The structure of this is cool. I didn’t realize it had a train and wore heels at 5’9” so I think it looked short from the back- but looked good from the front

Sized up from XS (couldn’t zip it) to S which is a full size larger then my usual. The small was pretty but incredibly stiff - hard to dance / sit etc

Beautiful dress if you can get the right fit. I’m a 28 Jean size, small top, typically wear a 4/6 in dresses. Had to go with the Large for a walkable fit through the hips. Top half was way too big so I used fashion tape to secure the front and back to my skin to prevent gaping. It worked! Wore flats with LR at 5’8”

This dress is stunning. I wore it to a summer formal coastal wedding. I was kind of surprised it has boning in the chest of the dress that gives it structure and support. I did not need have to wear a bra and still felt supported which was great. It is also VERY thick which was great for a late summer wedding but could be warm in peak summer or warmer climates. I received so many compliments and opted for a slick back look to really highlight the collar bones. The only reason I didn’t give the dress five stars is because the off the shoulder straps make it hard to comfortably move your arms and it is sort of tight for dancing but walking around is not problem. It fit me perfectly, definitely rent it!

Loved this dress! It wasn't quite right for my occasion but it was just gorgeous! It was a little tight I would love to rent it again but a side larger.

It fit great, I just liked a different option better for the occasion, and did not end up wearing it. Would rent again for a different event.

Very comfortable dress! Need another person to help zip it up. Otherwise great for formal occasion.

Beautiful fit

Loved this dress and got a ton of compliments but it was very restricting if you are looking to do a lot of dancing at the event.

Very true to size. Fabric is not forgiving. I’m a true small and occasional XS. Could not zip the XS.

I wasn’t able to wear this to my event because the dress was too small. As there were no reviews, I looked up size dimensions on the designer’s website. I am typically a six and the site said a small would work — it didn’t. Would definitely have needed a medium for this.

It was too small for me and I was really disappointed that I could not wear it to the wedding.

I am a true size small and I could barely get this to zip. Even once on, the corset dug into my body and I couldn't move my arms up much. I even had a very difficult time getting out of a low car! It was gorgeous for the wedding, but could barely move so would not rent again.

Was very narrow at the top

Material was nice, but the fit was not flattering for me.

Even with sizing up per reviews it was too tight through the hips and too big on top- so hourglass/ pear shape I don’t think this dress would work.

Wow this is a beautiful dress but I wish I read the reviews first so I could have sized up twice and wore this! As others mentioned, runs extremely small. I wear a size 6 and couldn’t get it past my thighs. Gorgeous material though and would try again with different sizing.

Should have trusted the reviews. It would not zip at all and needed to upsize twice apparently to get it to fit. Couldn’t even wear it to the event :(

This was a complete waste of an item. The "small" is an extra small. I am a true small and I had to get a medium. This wouldn't zip Even 1/4 of the way up!! Sizing should be adjusted accordingly.

I ordered 2 size bigger and it’s still too small Sooo disappointing!!! :(

The dress is beautiful except it has the weirdest flap over your stomach that does not lay flat and just looks so horrible. I didn’t realize this in the photos but if you zoom in you can see it. Unless you are a skeleton with not butt no way this dress is laying flat. Don’t get!

Couldn’t even get it over my ribs or hips to try on

Unfortunately was not able to wear this for my event - definitely an unforgiving fabric, but very pretty!

Avoid if you have a curvy body

Order 2 up from what you normally wear

Complete pencil fit - could barely walk and had to shuffle around
