I love this dress but it does require a little attention to detail like the right under wear . I just tried it on so wasn’t wearing a shaper to make the front fit better. I wasn’t wearing shoes and it was a bit short so didn’t end up wearing it but the open back is very flattering 

This dress is so beautiful and I feel like it could fit most anybody types or chest sizes I’m rather small but have a muscular build so sometimes things don’t fit me as well but this was perfect I got so many compliments there’s also two ties in the back you need to tie the one around your neck but I just tucked the the other ties for the lower back in the dress and thought that looked better for a completely open back look !
This also says that I got a 12 but I wore an eight and it was perfect.

This was probably one of my favorite dresses I have ever worn. I was looking for a red dress to take family photos this year because I did a color analysis earlier in the year and found out red was my color! I felt beautiful in this dress and we got so many compliments on this look. I did wear spanx underneath the dress to make it look more smooth. I'm 5'7 and I worn heels so the 10L was perfect for me. The family photos turned out amazing and I am so in love with this dress and the color! 

I was a little nervous about the size conversion but I listened to the reviews and sized up. I’m typically a size 4 and the Australian size 10R fit great! It had a little extra room around my waist but the ties in the back kept everything secure. The cut of the dress is very flattering! I am 5’-5” and wore 3.5” heels - the length was perfect. Would recommend for a black tie wedding or event!

True to size, hard to get on and off with no zipper. Great dress lots of compliments 


So perfect for a sexy look at a black tie event. Party in the back
For sure. 

Wore this dress to a wedding and can’t recommend it enough. Received so many compliments. Did have to steam it to get the wrinkles out and it still wrinkled pretty easily, but loved it and felt so pretty in it. 

I wore this dress to a wedding, and boy did I receive so many compliments. It’s a really gorgeous cut with it being both demure and a hint of sexy with the open back. Based on the reviews, I got both my size and a size up, but I found that the dress was true to size. 

This dress was amazing. I’m typically a size 6 ish but I read the reviews about sizing and ordered a 10 — which fit perfectly. If you put it on over your head, it goes in nicely. The strings in the back make it easy to adjust the fit. I got so many compliments on the backless detail and LOVED wearing this. 

I ordered a very random size because it was the only one available in time for the black tie wedding I wore this too and it was a little big but it ended up fitting great once I tied the back straps much tighter. I go so many complements and it was super comfortable. The material is heavy enough you aren’t worried about every bump showing since the back was too low for shapewear 

Loved this dress, I probably could have gone a size up but this wasn’t uncomfortable! The only note I have is that this doesn’t have a zipper so it was a two person job getting it on and off

Absolutely stunning! I got a ton of compliments. Was short on me but I’m tall, but it still worked. Open back is super flattering. Only issue is there is no zipper so getting it on was a struggle, but worth it. 

I ordered this dress to wear to a fall wedding. I was a little worried about having an issue with the ties on the back but they were secure and the arm holes prevent any true mishaps. The dress was super flattering. I am normally a size 8 and sized up to a 10L/AUS14. I probably could have worn the AUS 12 but the ties make it pretty forgiving on sizing. 

Only annoying thing is there is no zipper so it’s hard to get off but loved this dress - simple and pretty

You have to pull this over your head (no zipper!!) but the red satin moves well and the back is REALLY good. Needed sticky boobs but the ties are surprisingly effective and I could dance well in it without worrying about anything crazy happening. The dress does get a looser over the night but that didn’t bother me too much…rent it! 

Incredible wedding guest dress!!!!! Fits exactly as expected and quality is so so so good. If you’re thinking about it just do it

I am so happy I went with this dress!! It was perfect! Fit like a GLOVE. I chose AUS6 and the back up was a AUS8. The size up actually fit me perfectly. I would recommend getting your true size and one size up just in case. Returning was a breeze, just took it into the closest UPS to the wedding venue and done! Overall very happy with this company and the back up (one size bigger) they provided because it ended up being perfect! Will be renting from them in the future! 

Perfect dress. So many compliments and so flattering!

Loved this dress. I am 5’-6”, 128 lbs. I ordered a (US) size 2 long and size 6 regular, (there wasn’t a lot of size options left last minute). Ended up wearing the 2 and it fit well! I could have worn the 6 as well, it just may have been slightly more material at the top. It also did not feel super open at the back to the point where it felt uncomfortable around coworkers. Material is thicker than you might think! You just need some sticky boobs and you’re good 👍

I’m glad I followed the size guide and went larger than my usual size - I wore the size 8 (with the 6 as backup) and even the 8 was snug/a little tricky to get on as this dress doesn’t have zippers but fit comfortably once I got it over my head. Also, length was a little short for me in heels. I didn’t hate it but it didn’t wow me either, though overall it was a great wedding guest dress. 

This dress would be great if you’re very fit.  It’s an open back and was definitely not for me.

Even with a herniated disc and not able to stand straight, I felt stunning in this dress! It was comfortable and a great fit. Would definitely rent again

I got sooo many compliments on this dress, I love it. 

Reviews were right that it the sizing is pretty off, so I sized up and it fit perfectly! I was comfortable all night and got so many compliments 

I got so many compliments on this dress! I rented both the 14R Long and the 16R Regular; I went with the 14R Long. My only knock is that the dress isn’t as long as I thought despite renting a long. However given my height, it may be the correct length on someone shorter. There’s room to breathe and I felt great dancing. The material is not stretchy, though, so if you have a larger chest or middle area, consider sizing up for extra room. 

This dress is beautiful and comfortable!! 

I rented this for a charity ball and it was a HIT! Received compliments all night. The material is silky and was very comfortable to move/dance around in. It’s such a great option for a formal event! 

Stunning. It’s a little low in the back for shapewear. The regular size was perfect length for petites. If you are between sizes, size up cause you gotta wiggle in and out of it. Loved 

This is a sexy dress! More formal than I was expecting, but better to be overdressed :) A bit long, but dresses usually are on me.

great dress - got 3 compliments from girlies on the street within a min of stepping outside 

It fit amazing, looks great on & a lot of compliments 

I feel like I’m going to skew data, I rented this for my daughter who is normally a size 6 so ignore my stats…but this dress is gorgeous! I was over the moon excited to find her prom dress to pop into my normal rental for $31 instead of spending $$$$ on a dress that would never see the light of day again.
