Loved this dress.  Only problem for me, was my bust may be a tad small to fill out the top. I am between a B and C. But I still loved the dressed. I also have a larger midsection and I feel like this flattered it.

I rented a 16 and that’s my normal size in clothing so it fit true to size. I wore a deep plunge Spanx shapewear & it worked perfectly with this dress. 

We took family portrait studio pics and the photographer had to use dress clips to keep it from falling off of my shoulders. Still a great dress! 

I loved wearing this dress so much. I got compliments the whole night. Perfect for a black tie wedding! 

Loved this so much that I bought it! I wore it for couple’s photos outdoors this fall, and the navy was perfect against the colorful backdrop!

If you’re thinking about it, do it! This dress was comfortable enough to wear for a 10-hour day. I knew that length might be an issue being 5’9”, but I wore the heels anyway and made it work! I’m usually a true size 14 but sized up to the 16 because it was easier to sit in and offered a little more room in the waist. The fabric is beautiful and the dress looks so elegant in person. I was comfortable in this even on an 80° October day.  

Pockets!!!!  And sexy and comfortable and awesome

Loved the fit, very elegant and understated sexy. Plus it’s super comfortable. 

The stress was so comfortable and classy! It even had pockets!

Loved the sleeves on this dress, and it's very forgiving in the middle. The blue was very deep and perfect for the event we went to. The best part, the pockets! I did have to steam some of the wrinkles out after I took it out of the bag. The only regret is the shoes I wore. They were bejeweled at the back and kept getting stuck on the tulle underneath. 

This dress was perfect for my event.  I sized up one size and it fit me perfectly.  I received so many compliments.  Wish I could buy the dress for future events. 

This was the perfect ball gown for a wedding! Probably the only time I will be able to wear a fascinator to a wedding so had to have the dress to match the occasion! 

The dress fit beautifully! you may need some fashion tape for the bust/shoulders if you’re on the shorter side but it was a well constructed and beautiful dress! it’s QUITE formal with tulle to keep it looking like a gown, so just make sure to keep that in mind for events 

Beautiful navy gown! Gorgeous! I wore it to a charity event and it was a hit! 

Fit true to size and not too long for us short girls!

I wore this to a gala dinner in Italy, it fit me perfectly. The hem did not hit the ground without heels, but was still gorgeous. Loved that the dress has pockets. 

I ordered for a branding photoshoot and WOW! Perfect fit, no alterations needed. I didn’t wear tapes to lift my chest as I was aiming for a sophisticated look, rather than sexy. But, you definitely can! My sizes are accurate;  reference, I’m 32D, 25waist, 35hips. The dress length was exact & I wore 3.75 inch heels. Highly recommend!! 

The material was very odd and needed to be steamed. Overall, a fun rent and received many compliments. 

Very comfortable and cute. It honestly looked better in person than on the model. It was a tad big so I would definitely consider sizing down. 

Length was not too long, loved the pockets + ballgown style, and perfect fit. Wore to a formal southern wedding 

When you wear this dress and stand the fit is perfect - deep V and high leg slit make this sexy but formal. I wore this to a fancy dinner and while seated the top is more loose - it’s just gravity. However because of the deep V you cannot wear a bra and if it gapes you can have a wardrobe malfunction. Make sure and use dress tape to keep it in place. 

The photos made the dress look like a soft material even though there was volume on the shoulders. I didn't end up wearing this because it was a hard material. My husband called is "architectural" which would be a great vibe for someone else. 

Overall it felt too feminine for my taste and too bridesmaid-like for me to wear to my black tie event. 

Beautiful, cut and very flattering. Plus, it has pockets! Very easy to wear and the low back is so pretty! Loved the shoulder ruffles

This dress made me feel incredible- great fit, loved the pockets, loved the cut of the dress, had to use Hollywood tape for the too sleeves to keep them up which worked the entire night! I got so many compliments on this dress! Highly recommend! 

Wore this to an awards events where I was one of the emcees. The dress was super comfortable and had pockets which was fun - I pulled my glasses out of one pocket to read the award which got a laugh. Length was just to the floor with 2.5 inch heels so definitely made for someone on the shorter side.  I did need some dress tape on the top to keep from flashing people. 

It was a little loose in the chest/shoulders and therefore had to be careful when sitting and with certain movements. Overall great dress 

If you run between two sizes, I’d recommend sizing down. Great dress, lots of compliments!

I’m normally between a 12 and 14, and the 12 fit perfectly.  Nothing bad to say about this dress.  It’s classically beautiful, has a flattering fit, has pockets, and is incredibly comfortable.  The length isn’t too long.  I’m 5’5” and it came to my ankles.  I could’ve worn it with flats if I had wanted to.

Perfect length for petite. Great quality and comfy, it has pockets! My usual size between 2 and 4. 0 fits perfectly 

The fit was perfect and it looked beautiful! It was comfortable and flattering. I was worried about the v being too deep but it was perfect.

I am a typical size 4, sometimes having to size up to a 6. Formal gowns I usually have to size up to an 8. I chose a 6 in this nased on reviews and it fit perfect even on the waist where I have a little bit of a stomach from having children. I'm not sure if I will wear it yet because of the all blue navy collar. My husband is wearing his navy blue military uniform and I feel like I'll just blend in with him. I wish it came in another color because it is a very fun dress. I love how the sleeves poof out, making your arms look skinnier than they are. There's a slit in the leg area but you can't see your leg unless you stick it out. The only downside of this dress is you would definitely have to steam it yourself. It has some serious thick wrinkles in it! Also it has a thin Petticoat under it which was totally unexpected.

I loved wearing this dress for my formal birthday dinner! It was so comfortable to wear and even had pockets! The style was very classy and loved the slit. I went one size down based on the other reviews, normally I’m a size 4 for their size 2 it fit perfectly. 

I wore this to a military masquerade ball and it was perfect - float, fit in all the right places, great for a short lady, and had pockets. I received lots of compliments throughout the night. Loved this dress!

The dress photo is misleading and didn’t touch floor without heels on.
