This dress was perfect for a wedding at an exclusive venue!  I received many compliments including that fits you so well.  I was not concern about it being sleeveless because it looked so nice on my body (I have an apple figure). The color blocking hits just the right spots making your body appear thin and trim. I would highly recommend this dress to anyone looking for a good fit. I would definitely rent this lovely again!!

I wore this for work, though it could easily work for an event. Beautiful fabric that hung well. It doesn't have much "give," so if you're hippy at all, I'd size up. 

There isn't much stretch or give in this dress. Although I have a large bust, belly, and bottom - and it fit well and was complimentary to my shape. The style is to die for. It's very professional. 

The dress has a very comfortable fit. It also travels really well. I paired this with a cape style jacket. I wore Ferragamo ballerina flats. This just makes you feel like you are in charge. It is perfect for a corporate event. 

Fit well.  Fabric is smooth and soft.  Construction of garmet top notch.

I wore this dress for work. It was lovely and well constructed. It is fully lined. The pattern really flattered my figure since I don't really have hips, and it made the illusion that I have a smaller waist. Since I live in a colder climate, I put a turtleneck under it to stay warm and dress it down.  

As for the sizing, I don't know if it runs true to size or not. I usually wear a 14W or an 18 dress and this came as a "16". I'm not sure if it's Misses 16 or a 16W. But it fit great. 

The fit was a little large in the shoulders and rather long for my 5'3" height. But the look of the dress was gorgeous and very flattering in general. It was perfect for my friend's wedding - classic and pretty with a modern flair, sort of a bodycon color block but not exactly the typical pattern you might see. I stuck to a minimalist necklace, a single sparkly bracelet, stud earrings, and simple black peep-toe pumps so that the dress remained the centerpiece, and I was very happy with the results.

I tried this in a 16 since it doesn't have any stretch.  I found that it but showed a couple of bumps so I sized up to an 18.  The 18 was loose but was hitting me in an awkward spot below my knees so I didn't end up wearing it.  I would go for your true size and add some Spanx on this one.  The material was a heavy crepe, and the illusion stripe was very flattering, my friend described it as a "vavavoom" dress.  Nice mix of sexy+professional.  

This dress was amazing.  It was a last minute replacement, and I couldn't have loved it more.  It fit perfectly - not so tight that I was uncomfortable, but body hugging in a positive way.  I'm 5'6" with a short torso and long legs, and the length was super fun - just right below my knees, looked great with high high heels and some dark lipstick.  It was very flattering on a large chest, the pattern works well in that area (sometimes a problem if you have a lot to deal with there....) I would recommend it for any occasion really - I wore it to a fancy dinner and a play, would be great for any work party, even a wedding if you jazzed it up with fun accessories.  Great rental. 

I wore this dress to a fashion show and received lots of compliments. The arm holes were a bit big, so I wore it with a floor length sheer cardigan. There is no stretch to this shift dress, so consider sizing up. 

The dress itself is absolutely stunning and very well made. I, unfortunately, did not end up wearing the dress as the size 18W was much too large on me. I was able to put it on easily without even having to un-zipper the dress. It hung like a potato sack on my body and fell about an inch and a half below the bottom of my knee which was unflattering even in heels. The fit would have been best if cinched in at the waist from within. The size 16W was extremely tight. There was no happy middle :( BUT BEAUTIFUL DRESS!!

It ran a bit bag, I'm usually a size 16, 18 for dresses and because this was a back up dress, I wanted to be safe and ordered the 18. Ended up being too baggy for me and didn't get to wear it. 

I wish this dress came in a 12.  It doesn't have any stretch so a true size would be necessary, but I am a 14.  14w was one or two sizes too large.  It was a shame because I loved the dress.  For a taller woman it hit at the right point below the knee.  Loved it, but couldn't wear it.

This dress was way too big for me. The length was excellent. If a 14 had been available, I would have tried that size.

Looked great on top. I'm 5 4 and it hit way below my knees.   Nun style 

Kept this for quite awhile through Unlimited. Really classic, and hugged me in the right places. I might have bought it, but I lost weight and it became too large.

Runs big, but is a great dress to wear for many occasions.

This fit nicely and comfortably. The pattern created a lovely, shaping illusion to my figure. I would definitely rent this dress again.

Looks just like the picture. Amazing material, perfect professional look. Shorter girls beware - this is made for taller chicks!

Love love love this dress.  Fair warning, though, there is little give and you'll likely need some Spanx to smooth everything out.  The style is very flattering. 

It doesn't really offer much structure, but the material is fairly thick/stiff. It kind of just hung on me and swallowed me up. Thought it might accentuate curves, but it just kind of hides you. 

I wasn't able to wear this dress, as it's fit was horrible. Almost sack-like, no real structure. Also, I'm 5'10" and this dress was way too long for me. Not the least bit flattering and the condition was questionable - it bunched at the neck like it had been dry cleaned too many times.
