Beautiful

This was a tight squeeze so attending this wedding solo I needed help to zip up this dress. The arm tightness prevents you from zipping up the dress fully, but didn't prevent raising my arms for dancing. But it was stunning and I got lots of compliments. Wore kitten heels and the length was the right and didn't drag on the ground at all.

The sleeves are tight, I couldn’t raise my arms over my head. Everything else for perfect.

The length is perfect for sandals or heels! I got so many compliments. I wore simply gold earrings, no need for a necklace.

Perfect for a black tie garden wedding

I had ordered another dress for a wedding that I was excited to wear, so I was very disappointed when, 2 days before the dress delivery, I was told that the dress could not be shipped to me and I needed to choose something else. With only 2 days to go, there wasn't much of a selection, but I selected this dress and hoped for the best. Did I ever luck out! The wedding we went to was black tie, with an outdoor garden ceremony, and this dress was PERFECT. I'm short - only about 5'3" - so this dress was just about floor length with 2" heels. The top of the dress covered me up, but the mesh didn't make me feel stuffy or conservative. The fit was perfect - curve-hugging without being tight, flattering in every way, and flowy and fun for the dance floor. I typically wear a 14, and I wore the 16 in this dress (with smoothing shapewear underneath, as it is a fitted dress). I would rent this dress again in a heartbeat - this time as my FIRST choice.

Great dress for black tie event - many compliments

The dress is supposed to be ankle length but was more floor length on me, which I think was actually prettier, so great dress if petite. Size up if bigger bust, as there is no give.

Regal fit for Bridgerton event!

I'm 126, 5'5 and have broader shoulders and didn't notice any of the tightness that some mentioned - fit like a glove! Perfect fit for the Bridgerton event but I would also rent again for a wedding or something - great fit!

Floral elegance

Stunning dress! I wanted an elegant summer rehearsal dinner dress but not " fancy"... Black with embroidered flowers in a dream color palette was perfect! The illusion chest and sleeves were flattering & feminine! Long length was exactly what I wanted and this dress was very comfortable! Loved this dress & wore it once more because I had too!!

It was so gorgeous & I got so many compliments on it

I had a 1 1/2 hour drive to & from wedding & it was very comfortable to drive in. There were a couple of spots that were a little big but I think the smaller size would have been too small. I would love to have as my own

Christmas

I rented for a very special Christmas dinner ! I loved it ! I got so many compliments, some from total strangers ! I love this designer, and will seek it out again. I am short (5'2") and the over skirt was long . I was unable to shorten it, although after wearing it I figured out how I could have without it looking odd. I was concerned that the over skirt and sheer on the sleeves would be scratchy, it was not . Definitely would rent again

Proper and elegant

Loved wearing this dress. The quality of workmanship is incredible and the embroidered flowers made the dress pop in a sea of black gowns. The fit was perfect but a little hard to zip up if you're on your own I would definitely rent again.

Comfortable, stunning dress for black tie wedding in Sweden countryside

Wore this for a very long wedding (3pm to 5am!). Very comfortable, smoothed all the right places. The wedding was quite formal, but the embroidered flower details give the dress a fun, whimsical feel. Would rent again!

Comfortable and beautiful dress

This dress fit me perfectly. It was very comfortable and the material/cloth was beautiful and good quality. I usually wear a 12, but I read it runs a little small so got the 14R as a backup and ended up wearing the 14R. I definitely recommend this dress for a fall wedding.

Felt Comfortable/Beautiful

I rented 2 dresses and went with the 10R. The shoulders were a little tighter but I was able to move my arms. The colors of the flowers were so beautiful and the black looked nice for a September wedding. I loved the see through top, and the length of it.

Beautiful dress!

Beautifully made dress. Conservative with just a bit of pizazz. Lots of compliments. The cons: the sleeves have no give. They weren’t tight, but hard to stretch out and move my arms. I ended up with my back up size (14 instead of 12) which I think is typical to size up in designer gowns. A strapless bras is a must with this gown.

True to size, but keep in minds there’s MINIMAL stretch in the body, none in the sleeves.

The dress is long if you’re on the shorter side, you’ll need tall shoes.

Pretty!

Lots of compliments. I wore a black bra with narrow straps under it rather than strapless and they just looked like part of the dress. A bit snug around the middle but was still comfortable.

Beautiful Dress!

Loved this dress, but it was tight. I wear 14 pants comfortably/loose, and can sometimes squeeze into my 12s, but I should have ordered sooner and gotten the 16. It was a struggle to zip. However, the material was wonderful and it didn’t LOOK too small. I got so many compliments. As other reviews here say, the sleeve is tight around the arms, but I would absolutely recommend this dress.

Elegant and comfortable

Worn to a formal wedding. Very comfortable and received a ton of compliments. You will need a strapless bra or tape because the top portion is sheer. It fit my chest well but might not work if you have a larger cup size. Loved it!

Dress is gorgeous & perfect if vertically challenged!

Ribbon around stomach becomes a bit constricting & uncomfortable, so if you’re carrying some holiday weight or bloat in the belly be mindful!😉 other than that, tons of compliments on this dress.

Love love loved this dress

I loved this dress, the fabric was beautiful and I received compliments all night. The 10 fit slightly better than the 14, but the shoulders were crazy tight if I tried to move my arms, so be warned to size up if you want to move your arms at all. I would wear again!

She is a bit more petite than I am, 5,3 so you will need a little bit of a heel. Can be tight if you C sized breast. But otherwise gorgeous dress!

Arms were tight, and I wore a body shaper for tummy. But, I felt beautiful and mostly comfortable for a 5 hour event! Just couldn’t raise my arms above my head.

Very pretty, some movement restricted

I liked the stress and thought the details were well done and beautiful. Even though a lot of the reviews says it runs small, I felt it fit true to size as long as you don’t have a large chest. If you do, I’d recommend sizing up because that’s the tightest part. Movement in my shoulders was restricted by the cap sleeves, and the neckline was tight irritated my skin (it was red by the end of the night).

Perfect dress for fall wedding

This dress was very comfortable and appropriate for a black tie optional wedding. The length was very nice hitting at the ankle rather than on the ground so it was easy to walk around. Only con was that the sleeves were a bit tight so I could not reach my arms all the way up, but this was not a major issue overall.

Beautiful dress, great quality, fantastic colors, fit, and material

I rented this dress for a black tie wedding and loved it! I am 5’2” and wore flats, and had to use hem tape to shorten the skirt a little, which was no problem. I agree with other reviewers that it’s a little tight in the arm area so it’s hard to lift your arms to dance, but I didn’t let that stop me. I also used nipple covers and didn’t wear a bra. I got so many compliments on the dress, felt great wearing it, and would totally do so again!

Perfect for the occasion!

I LOVED this dress. It is so pretty, the details are so elegant, and it fit me perfectly. The arms are bit tight like previous reviews said, but they are fitted like the rest of the dress. I did think it would be a bit shorter, but the length was fine with my heels.

Beautiful details, great fit!

Wore this dress for a Christmas party and decided to just knock out engagement photos while were were already dressed up. The dress was snug, but comfortable, and the details were beautiful. I have a large chest (38G/H), and it fit the girls okay, just pretty snug. I was even able to skip the bra which was nice because of the sheer top. Overall this dress made me feel beautiful and stunned at the party. I would totally rent again.

Lovely dress!

Tons of compliments, felt very elegant. Dress sleeves aren't super flexible and the 8 felt quite tight across shoulders. Sized up just to not feel constricted which left the chest slightly large but fit well enough. Would rent again!
