I wore this dress to a holiday black tie event and got tons of compliments. It was comfortable, which is rare, and I felt great in it. It’s long, so I had to hold it up while walking, but that wasn’t much of a problem. I’ll probably rent this again! 

This dress was gorgeous! It fit like a glove and I received so many compliments. It was comfortable enough to dance in all night too!

I wish I had gotten the petite for length but made it work. Heels will get caught in the lace so be mindful of what shoe you choose if you are in the shorter side. 

This gown fit perfectly and I received compliments all evening. The perfect length for someone who is tall like me at 5 10. The fabric is a little heavy, so I found myself feeling hot on the dance floor. 

Love wearing this dress. It was a little short on me - I ordered a 6L- but the tag just had a 6 on it so I’m not sure if I got the wrong size. 

Lots of compliments! High quality fabric (that won’t wrinkle when packing), flattering silhouette. I wore a strapless bra. You do have to be a little careful walking because pointy toed shoes and thin heels can catch the lace, probably less of an issue for taller ladies. I changed into sneakers after a certain point at the wedding!

Great size and length for anyone 5’10. I wore a 12 long and it was perfect. 

I wore this to a formal ball and it was unique among all the satin and velvet gowns. It’s well made with a flattering cut. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was that my heel occasionally caught on the back and I worried about tripping or tearing. If you’re between sizes I rec sizing up. 
I rented the silver clutch also and it was a fun accessory. 

Just wore this dress to a wedding (cocktail attire requested by the bride at The Tavern on The Green in NYC) and would definitely rent it again. I am 5'9", 148# and athletic build and this dress in 8R fit perfectly. The length was perfect as well and I was able to wear ballet flats without any issues (I ordered the 8L as a backup but it was too long with the flats - 8R was perfect). I wore a strapless bra; had no issues at all with the fit and was comfortable dancing in it all night.

Form fitting but still comfortable. I had a lot of trouble getting the zipper over the “belt” area

I’m 5’7” and don’t ever wear high heels. Mine were 2 inches and the dress was a bit longer than I would have liked. But it fit beautifully and I received many compliments. 

Dress is beautiful, I got both a 10 and a 12, both fit,  but I felt more comfortable in the 12. 

Perfect fit and very flattering. Got lots of compliments! Just hit the floor w heels on.

Tried to color correct to reflect true colors as well as I could. SO GLAD I went with this dress. Black and blue together was so great!!! I’m between 5’7” and 5’8”, could have gone with the regular length, but it wasn’t available. Wasn’t too bad, tho! Obsessed with the lace pattern 😍😍😍

Wore this for an outdoor black tie wedding in Virginia in May. This dress fit perfectly. A little stretchy and the lace/crochet overlay is even more beautiful in person. I wouldn’t want to wear this dress for very warm weather. But for anything under 80 degrees it’s perfect. I think this dress would fit almost any body type, but it did look especially great for my pear shape. 

I can wear a 4 or a 6. The 4 did not fit at all, and the 6 was snug—could not wear a bra cause there wasn’t any room! Felt fine. As others have mentioned a little on the long side with my 2.5” heel, but it worked fine for walking and dancing. 

Perfect fit for a city gala. 5’5. 115 lbs with athletic build. Wore the 2P-Due to reviews saying it was long .  Wore 4’ heels and it was perfect. Loved the style, the fit and so many compliments!  💗💗💗

Was looking for a dress my daughter could wear to a 6 hour wedding where the bride planned to hand out flip flops to the ladies at hour 4 to keep the dancing going and everyone comfortable. The size 14R fit my daughter like a glove (12R was too tight) except for length, which was a fatal flaw for an evening where she was going to end up in flats. She is 5’1/2” tall, 160 and a 38D. It was probably 4 inches too long. Did not wear. 

I really loved this dress. The fabric is high quality and the blue color mixed in with black was gorgeous. I normally wear a 2 and was able to wear the 2P here with two-inch heels and it fit perfectly. Someone else mentioned that their heels got caught in the lace in the back though. I had the same issue. I wouldn’t recommend getting this dress to dance in if you are wearing heels. 

Well made, elegant, beautiful dress. Got lots of compliments.
Had to order it one size too big, but it still worked fine. I would say true to size.

I loved the cottony, soft feel of the fabric, the “heavy” fall and the comfort of the cut: just right fit around my fuller backside and relatively slim waist. 
The Tall size was well proportioned across the length of the torso and long enough for my rather long legs - also to cover comfy dancing shoes (wedges) which did not get hooked into the lace. 
Got a lot of compliments and danced the night away in one of the most comfortable formal dresses I’ve worn. 

I got so many compliments, literally stopped on the street by strangers! The fit was great and comfortable. Black tie wedding in Philadelphia in May. Easy to pack too, no wrinkles. Highly recommend! 

I am 141 and just under 5’8” generally a perfect size 6. I wore 2 inch heels and the length of the 6L was just right to brush the floor. Regular black bra was great. Couldn’t have been happier.  

I loved this dress and got lots of compliments on it! It fit great everywhere, expect I couldn’t zipper it up! It is one of those backs that has very little stretch. I ended up tying it together with a ribbon and using a shawl to kind of cover it up. I would suggest sizing up, but then it may have been too loose elsewhere.
Maybe avoid if you have a large menopausal back. 

Perfect for my short waisted body.  Empire fitting was on point.  The blue was an added pop of color and  elevated the look.   I was unique in the sea of black dresses. Chandelier earrings and a chunky bracelet were all the jewelry needed.  So comfortable!  Nice material; not flimsy or cheap.  

I wore this gown for a premiere event and got so many compliments all night. This dress is ELEGANT. I wore it with black heels, silver jewelry, and hair in a low bun to allow the gown to shine. It fit perfectly and I love how it hugs your curves and flares out slightly at the feet. It has such a beautiful texture and design making it so unique. I would definitely rent this dress again. 

It was perfect for a work black tie event.  Conservative gown.  The blue color pops!  Received many compliments.   

This dress worked perfect for what I needed! I ordered the 10L and got the 8L as a back up. Didn’t even open the 8L. The zipper was a little tricky at the middle waist band part and took a lot of finessing to get zipped past but we made it work. I’m 5”7 and went with the size guide and ordered the long but I probably could have gotten away with the regular. The long completely covered my feet but it was fine. I usually have a hard time with dresses fitting my waist and chest but this  was just fine. It was a little snug when I took a full deep breath but nothing too uncomfortable at all. Shipping was so easy it came right on time and I dropped it off at the UPS store the day after the event. 

I did not end up wearing this dress because I chose another in the same shipment but the dress was lovely, very high-quality lace fabric. Fit perfectly.  I have a fairly straight figure so might've been more attractive on a curvier silhouette.  Perfect length.  Don't need a necklace.

I received so many compliments on this dress. The length was perfect for my 5’7 frame and 3 inch heels. Ordered the 8 and 10.  Went with the 10 because it was more comfortable in the hips. 

I ordered the petite length dress and the length was perfect for a short person. I’m 5’0” and I wore platform sandals, not crazy height, and it just hit the floor. Was figure hugging and fit great. Wore it to a fundraiser and dressed it down with a leather blazer. Definitely recommend. 

Wore this to a fundraising event and it was perfect, so many compliments. My heel did get caught in the skirt when walking, but the long was perfect for hitting the floor. Would rent again!

Dress is really great for taller ladies. Easy to wear and forgiving. 

The length on the 4L was heaven! Perfect for a holiday gala!

I'm 5'7" and wore heels. The 8L just skimmed the floor and was the perfect length. This gown does not scratch or poke and I received compliments on it the entire night. Excellent amd unique pick if you're on the fence. 

This dress fit well and gave me the curves that I wanted. It is well made and I Iiked the fabric and detail. I am short so it was a bit too long. My heel got caught a couple of times while walking so I had to hold it up. It looks very long in the picture with flats for dancing. I got a lot of compliments and would definitely recommend. 

I rented this for a black-tie wedding. It was perfect for the event, and I got so many compliments on it throughout the evening. 

I wore a size 2, and it's fairly true to size. It was slightly snug in the ribcage, but not terribly. I have an athletic/muscular build, I'm a 34D with a 25-inch waist. For reference, I wear a size 2 from Ann Taylor in their curvy pants, I wear a 26 in Mother jeans, but a 4 in fitted/structured dress from Ann Taylor and MM La Fleur.

Love the fit and feel.  Elegant and beautiful!  Fit comfortably.

Perfect fit! Beautiful dress! 
Get your normal size and smaller size backup. And best part, I could slip into flip flops later!
