Amazing dress

I wore this dress for a semi formal work related annual dinner and award ceremony. It fit perfectly probably one of the best dresses I’ve ever rented. You can wear a regular bra with it. It’s very flattering I would rent this again.

One of the most perfect dresses I've ever worn!

Honestly, I'm tempted to buy it. It hugs curves in all the right places and it's soooo comfortable. My boyfriend almost passed out when he saw me in in - LOL. We went for a night out on the town to celebrate his birthday. I felt sexy and beautiful.

So soft and flattering!!

This dress was perfect for a gala dinner event I was invited to. It was a cold night in Seattle, so the long sleeves were amazing to have. It was soft and the side ruching was super flattering. I would definitely rent this dress again. I felt beautiful.

Lovely

Dress fit very well. It was nice as a plus sized person to feel really comfortable while still feeling pretty. It was also nice to have a dress with sleeves. My husband thought the style of the dress was a little older but I like to think retro.

Fun and flattering dress!

I wore this to dinner for my birthday and it was a great dress! The material was nice and didn't look cheap, which I worried about with the velvet. The neckline was not too revealing and I didn't have to pin the dress or anything. Fit was true to size. Great for a winter night out!

Fit beautifully while hiding the parts I didn’t want displayed. I got SO many compliments and I felt fantastic. I’m not very tall and it was such a flattering length

A perfect winter cocktail dress

I absolutely loved this dress. I wore it to a holiday cocktail reception at the home of the Vice President of the United States and it was perfect. It's flattering, comfortable, didn't wrinkle even though it spent 10 hours folded up really small in my purse.

Great dress!

I want to buy this dress. It was so comfy and fit great. If anything, maybe size down especially if you’re between sizes. I got lots of compliments, it hid what I wanted to hide and accentuated what I wanted to. I would absolutely wear it again

Super flattering

Finding this felt like winning the lottery, it's that perfect! I'm 5'3" 220 lbs and short waisted, which makes it about impossible to find dresses that flatter. I wore only minimal bottom shapeware so I got to be comfortable too...a miracle!

I wore this to an after-work awards dinner and it was a good balance of business and fancy. Beautiful fabric and compliments a curvy figure. Loved it.

So classy and comfortable!

I got this dress for a wedding and absolutely loved how comfortable and warm it was. It showed my shape but wasn't too tight. I ended up elevating something else for the wedding but this was a great back up option. I highly recommend it!

Such a comfortable, stretchy, dress that allowed me to eat and dance my way through a wedding!

I rented this dress for a February wedding and it was perfect! I am 21 weeks pregnant, weighing about 150# and 34D bra size, otherwise athletic build. The dress for me great! I ordered a size 6 & 8 & ultimately wore the six. The stretchy material made for a comfortable evening! The 8 was longer & would have worked too but made me look a little boxy. I think this dress is meant to be a little more form fitting too so I wore the 6 and was comfortable! The velvet, long sleeves kept me warm too!

Comfortable and perfect for winter wedding

Ended up wearing the size 4 for a more body hugging fit, though I'm usually a size 6 in dresses, I can run between sizes. Stretchy material and soft velvet. Loved the sleeves since it was late November and cold out. Perfect for a small wedding that wasn't too fancy but needed to be dressed up a bit.

This worked great for a November gala. I got a ton of compliments!

I have very curvy hips so I’m always afraid of silhouettes like this. But the ruching on the dress is very forgiving and flattering.

Worked great as a maternity dress - would rent again whether pregnant or not!

This dress fit beautifully and was SO comfortable. I rented it for a late February wedding and it was perfect for the occasion. I wore this when I was almost 29 weeks pregnant - I'm tall with wide hips so my baby bump isn't super big, but I think even if I had a bigger belly I could've easily and comfortably worn this dress. As it was, I was able to wear my normal size. Would definitely consider renting this again for other occasions in the future!

Perfect fit, lots of compliments!

This dress runs true to size and is great for disguising extra curves. I pinned the front for modesty, but would have felt comfortable leaving it unpinned in a different social environment. (This was a wedding of one of my dgtr's high school friends and I was attending without my husband). I received many compliments all night. This dress fit my sleeve length perfectly and the skirt length was very appropriate. I paired with black hose and boots. Will definitely rent again and will look to purchase if it ever goes on sale!

Great option for maternity!!

This dress fit perfectly!! I'm 5'7, 24 weeks pregnant, and 135lbs. Our best friends got engaged and we went to a nice dinner after. This dress was perfect. I ordered a 4 and 6, ended up going with the 4. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DRESS!

Nice fit and comfortable

I loved this dress! I wore it when I was 7 weeks post partum and it made me feel beautiful in my post baby body. I am normally a size 2 so I ordered a size 2 and a 4 for backup. The size 2 fit perfectly! I am 5'2'' and 117 pounds. It wasn't too short or too tight. I have a large bust and didn't feel too exposed. The material was perfect and soft. I shopped all week and bought 3 different dresses that didn't work out. Finally decided to look on here and found the perfect one!

Cute dress and comfortable!

I didn't end up wearing this one, but think it would look great with tights and I might rent it again for the right event. The top half of the dress was a tiny bit loose for me, but I liked the way it fit around my hips/stomach. I have thick thighs and wide hips, so this is always the issue with fit! Overall, good dress but I was looking for something a bit more dramatic for my event.

Fits well, not flattering for busty girls

Loved the fit and feel of the dress- but I don't think it minimizes the chest at all. It made me look bigger
