This was very comfortable and fun to wear -- when you spin, the skirt swirls out.  

Loved this dress. Wore to our daughters wedding 
I was very comfortable and had a blast dancing with how the shirt twirled 



I absolutely loved this dress, but should note that I favor classic, chic pieces, and like to be more covered up. Really great for tall woman who want the tea length. 
It's a lot of heavy fabric, but you're able to move in it. It does have a swishy noise to it as you move, which I found charming. 
Def size down on this. It's very forgiving, and I ended up thinking I could have gone even smaller. 
I went with simple jewelry, nude strappy shoes, and a low bun...felt simple and classic 

 I normally wear a six but this one fit perfectly in a 4.  The dress is thick which is great because you don’t see a bra strap and also stretchy so it’s pretty forgiving. I got compliments which is always nice. 

Made with a beautiful heavy material, perfect cut, miles of fabric on the skirt, tea length. Conservative enough to wear to a work function, but oh so elegant and classic. I felt beautiful wearing this dress. It was very luxurious. 

Couldn't have asked for a better dress. This material is a thick stretch, so it's a very easy fit. It's good for all body types. The skirt was on the long side: I'm 5'8" and it was mid-shin on me. The shape of the dress is elegant and classic. I loved it and highly recommend. 

The material is incredible and was perfect for a cold kansas wedding. I received many compliments 

Material is super thick, which was great for a November wedding where the temperature was 30* and the ceremony portion was outdoors! It is a classic, elegant dress. However, if you're short like I am (5'1"), the dress runs long. It hit a little above my ankles. I liked the dress a lot, and it fit everywhere perfectly, but I probably wouldn't rent it again just because of the length.

The fabric on this dress is GREAT! Super thick and HEAVY fabric but was super comfortable and plenty of room to move around. I would have been better wearing the size 38 as this was a little too long and not as fitted as I would have liked. The fabric is super stretchy, I recommend sizing down for a backup because of how big this how much stretch and room I had wearing this. Plus you are able to wear a standard bra with this!

Substantial weight to the material. Runs large in the waist and (hips obviously). The cut of the neck line and arm holes are proper ratio and appropriate without being oversized. I would rent this again for another occasion.  Does look dark navy in some lighting. 

The fabric is really thick (read: forgiving) so it didn't really matter that the dress was a bit too big. I wore it to work with ballet flats and a cardigan, and then swapped the shoes and it was perfect for an evening event. It's a little low cut for daytime without some additional coverage. 

Beautiful fit although a little low cut for my work. Oh well, put on a sweater when needed. Rest of the day, I twirled the skirt and loved it. Heavy beautiful, but swishy sounding fabric. 

This dress was an alternative choice when my original dress was unavailable. It's really beautiful with lovely movement for dancing. The fabric is unusual - it almost has a spandex/scuba suit feel to it, but it's lovely and does not wrinkle at all. It runs large, I'm typically a 10, but wore the 42 (which is suposed to be a 6!?). The waist of the dress fit very high on me (I'm pretty long waisted), but still looked fine. It is very low cut - I wore it to a benefit for a nursing home run by nuns so wasn't comfortable with the amount of cleavage. I added a light weight spandex-type tank underneath and it looked like part of the dress.  I would definately rent this again for the right occasion. 

This was my back up dress after my original choice wasn't available.  I'm normally between a 12 and 14, but when the stylist recommended this dress, she suggested I get the 44 (US 8) and 46 (US 10).  I was nervous it was going to be too small, but the dress has so much stretch I ended up wearing the 44, and maybe could have worn a size smaller!  My favorite part of this dress is the skirt.  When someone twirled me for the first time on the dance floor there was an "oooo" from everyone around me!  With the fullness of the skirt and the weight of the material it made a pretty impressive effect.  A few cons to the dress: 1. the waist line was either too high or two low.  Where it hit me was not bad but not quite flattering enough.  Maybe if I had a smaller size it would have been better.  2. The arm holes seemed fine at first, but I ended up futzing with them in the front. And when I took the dress off at the end of the night it was a little red running from my shoulder to my arm pit. 3. Why, oh, why does this dress not have pockets?! With the fullness of the skirt they would blend in perfectly!
Overall, I would recommend this dress as it was mostly comfortable, looked nice, and had a great twirl.  Definitely order down at least a size if not two or three.

Worked great for my husbands conservative office party. 

So obsessed with this dress. I wore it with a tweed blazer type thing and got sooo many compliments. 

Loved how this dress fit! I could have probably gone a size smaller, it has a pretty low neckline but I think a size smaller would have handled that issue. The fabric is thick and heavy which I like, excellent quality. It is very long though, more than I expected, just above my ankles. 

The dress fits beautifully and wears well all day (no wrinkles).   It is a  bit dressy for most workplaces, although not mine, and I paired it with a jean jacket to make it more casual.  The skirt is full and the fabric a little on the stiff side, but I felt like a million bucks.

Runs large. Beautiful, comfortable and well made but I'm typically a 6 and the 42 was pretty large on top. Was officiating a friends wedding and couldn't wear because I didn't want any boob showing...I didn't have fashion tape with me. I would have liked it to be a little more fitted around the rib cage area as well but again, just runs a little large I think. Waiting for the 40 to be available and I will be renting it right away!!!!

This was a Georg pus dress. I wore it to my family's Christmas Eve and felt a little overdressed but it was such a beautiful dress I didn't care

heavy thick material, comfortable, love the flow of the bottom 

I loved how this dress fit. It definitely runs large; I recommend sizing down one or even two sizes. It is quite low cut, but I wasn't worried about falling out of it. High quality, heavy fabric, beautiful drape. Very Italian. Recommend!

I have rented this dress three times. I love it! Goes with every shoe in your closet- heels, flats and sneaks ( my personal choice!). The top is nicely fitted with a respectable amount of cleavage but nothing scandalous at all. The skirt is full with gorgeous movement. Gonna hold on to this one a little longer.

runs slightly large...beautiful, easy to wear but long --more midi length then shown here on 5'4

This was a great little black dress. It fell to mid calf and looked great with flats or heels. I received multiple compliments on it and have already recommended the same dress to a friend for a different event. 

And I felt like a million bucks. The cut was so flattering and the material was AMAZING. But, we forgot to take pictures. I'll have to rent it again!!

Really wanted to wear this dress to a friends upcoming wedding. The dress is comfortable and flattering up top but at 30 weeks pregnant it pushes out the dress and it becomes tent like.  Maybe it would work earlier in pregnancy

Nice material and cut -- but go two sizes down

I'm 5'5 and the dress was almost tea length. Its a beautiful navy color and has a lot of volume. Very easy to dress it up. 

Great quality - But too large I couldn't wear it 

Really well made and beautiful, heavy fabric. Has some stretch but still maintains its architectural integrity. It was too low cut for me to wear to the event .

Great dress. The quality is stunning, and I loved the drape and heft of the fabric. However, I would have loved it even more with a longer waist that was a bit more nipped in. Also, because it's a synthetic fiber, it mopped up the smell of the restaurant where we ate, and I had to give it a heavy dose of scent spray to wear it again. 

This dress is huge! Size down. 

Material is a heavy sort of scuba material -- would not recommend for summer. 

On my 5'6" frame this dress was longer than tea length and the size I received was about 2 sizes too large. Cute dress that I would try again for a different event in a smaller size.

I ordered an 8 and it was several inches for a fitted look as I had hoped. Seemed more like a jumper.
