Festive in an unexpected color

This dress came new with tags. Rented my usual size Small but it runs a little small so I think a Medium would have been an overall better fit, especially across my chest (32DDD) & shoulders. It’s stretchy so not uncomfortably tight. The gathering at the waist is very fitted so def size up if you carry your weight in your midsection. It’s a stretchy mesh & velvet top layer over a mesh liner. It has a side zipper but I didn’t see it at first & just pulled it over my head. Good holiday rental as it’s festive but in an unexpected color. Also appropriate for office parties.

Smashing!

This was almost too good to waste on a workday but I got lots of compliments so it was worth it. The material is luxe and stretchy but it fits pretty snug. Fortunately, it has a flattering waistline with ruching, so it gave that hourglass shape. Highly recommend.

Statement texture, flawless fit — this velvet number was pure main-character energy.

This dress was an absolute showstopper! The velvet pattern caught the light beautifully and felt both elegant and comfortable. The fit was flattering — hugged my curves in all the right places without feeling too tight. Perfect for a fall or winter evening event. I paired it with black heels and gold jewelry, and it felt timeless yet modern. Highly recommend if you want to look sophisticated and confident.

Received many compliments!

It was very comfortable. The gathering of fabric across the midsection was flattering and I didn’t need to wear spanx. If you are someone who dances at weddings, you might get hot in this dress. Perfect for a fall, evening wedding!

Form fitting, comfortable, true to size.

The dress fit great, and the material was very comfortable and soft. It is tighter in the chest/ribcage area, so your normal size would probably be too tight if you are bustier. Got many compliments and felt confident wearing it!

Beautiful fabric; fit had issues.

Given my size and weight, I was surprised that the medium felt uncomfortably tight. (This is what was too small.) Fortunately the large was okay. The ruching helped obscure the fact that the waist to shoulder distance of the dress was longer than my waist to shoulder (this part was too large). (It would be nice if it were available in petite sizes, though I liked the long length.) (That part was just right!). Got complements on the dress! One more thing - I couldn't zip the zipper when I was wearing the dress; so I put it on over my head with the zipper closed.

This dress was so flattering and also so comfy I forgot to change for our long ride home. I snazzed and edged it up by renting some statement earrings. I got lots of compliments.“You look Hollywood glam.” Classy, understated. The perfect dress for a winter semi formal event.

I’m typically a Large, but this dress was very tight. I could tell it wasn’t going to fit from the moment I put my arms through & it wouldn’t stretch much to go over my head. I definitely wouldn’t have been able to get the side zipper up.

Stunning dress..and so comfortable

Great length wore with black suede ankle boots. Warm and comfortable..outdoor event at 45 degrees. Tried the large to see if it looked better but medium was the right fit all over. Large was too big across shoulders and a little longer than I was looking for. Would rent again.

Beautiful dress

This dress was conservative but also sexy, it does a nice job of accentuating your waist, and the length worked well for my 5’10” height. The fabric has a little stretch and is on the thinner side so shapewear helped smooth out the bumps and give nice silhouette.
