So cute. So many complements. Comfortable and flattering. Danced all night in it.

Unforgettable night in Vegas - danced until the lights came on… and for Vegas that has to be late!

Hugs curves nicely, no give or stretch in the favric snd beads are high quality

Wear if you want to stand out. Hugs nice & tight. I used stick on cups for a bra because the back is so low. 

Rented this back in May 2022 and ended up buying the dress because I loved it so much! It’s the perfect tight-fitting, non-itchy, show-stopping dress. 

I wore the medium. Fit great! Got tons of compliments all night!! 

Stretchy fun—tons of compliments. Easy to put on with the invisible zipper in the back. Rides up a little when you walk. I went braless with just nipple coverings—the tightness of the dress provided enough “support” for my 32C size. 

 Wore this for a gold dress gala and it was a hit! I received so many compliments. The fabric is nice and thick. I loved it! 

This dress fit perfect! 
So comfortable, and compliments all night!

Perfect dress for the theme! Got a lot of compliments. I really wanted this dress and panicked when they didn’t have a Medium which I thought would be my size (since a lot of reviews say it runs small). Fortunately the small actually fit perfectly and sort of had a slimming effect. 

Stretchy and beautiful sequence. V back makes it extra sexy. Quite short but I wore with tights. I wore it for party, date night and photoshoot and was a hit!

Ok I love this dress. I got so many compliments.  It was the best way to bring in the new years. I got a Large an XL wasn't available I was worried.  The large fitted me and I dance the night away. HAPPY New Year's 

Wore this for my birthday and loved the sparkle! Typically wear a small but definitely size up as this does run small. Wore the medium and it was perfect. Dress length made my legs look amazing and endless. The hem stayed in place and did not crawl. Loved the deep back that added just a touch of sass to a classic silhouette.

Wore this to an evening wedding (“cocktail”) in November in northern CA. After reading reviews, I got an XS with S as a backup, and ended up wearing the XS (it was tight at first but stretched out). The full lining is structured enough that you don’t need a bra, but I opted for small cups for a little shape. Good length and thick enough that I wasn’t cold. Love the low back! Very sparkly and lots of compliments. 

Wore this to a grad school dance and got loads of compliments. It was comfortable and fit true to size. The skirt is short but tight enough where i didn’t have to worry about accidentally flashing anyone. 

This dress is beautiful and well constructed- it feels solid and has just enough stretch to lay right. It does run very small though- I am normally a small or medium in dresses depending on how tight it falls at the hips, but needed the large for this one. Definitely size up.

I’m usually a small, but may have sized up if the medium was available. That said- it fit really well and I got tons of compliments. 

The dress fit perfect and was not too short. Only problem with it was the sleeves which were a bit too tight but fit perfect besides that.

BEWARE! YOU ARE ABOUT TO LOOK INCREDIBLE!!! Fantastic solo for a date/party OR toss a blazer on top to spice up a work event.  Not a ton of wiggle room for say... jumping jacks, but for normal movement- it holds everything in beautifully. AND the DESIGN is simply exquisite. STUNNING in person- you WILL look expensive. Prepare yourself for an onslaught of compliments ALL. NIGHT. LONG. 100% WOULD rent again. 

(Sorry for the awful picture!) I am 5'6" & 145 and pretty much a rectangle shape. I ended up wearing the L bc the M was just too tight and the back would've looked like I was Hulking out of it instead of a pretty "V" shape. The dress is stretchy so you can make it like a mini or push down to be more modest. It is lined so the sequins don't attack you. I wore this to a summer evening cocktail wedding reception and while the dress was more formal-leaning (ohhh the sequins!), I liked it. 

My sister wore this dress to a gatsby themed party it worked perfect! Very tight and fun felt and looked expensive 

danced all night and this dress was perfect!

I went to a themed party and this dress hit the spot! I'm somewhere between a small and medium but ended up wearing the small because I liked the tight fit. Either would have worked just fine though. Dress stayed put and I wasn't tugging at the hem or shoulders despite dancing and moving all night!

I got so many compliments. I loved the scooped back as a unique detail.

This dress runs tight but is comfy. I felt so glamorous in it I never wanted to take it off.

I wore this reds  to a fundraiser And it was absolutely beautiful. Easy to wear excellent quality comfortable. If you need a dress  for an event this is an excellent choice.

The medium fit perfectly, but I'm usually size 4 and petite so I was a little surprised it wasn't too big. No issues at all with the dress, I would definitely rent it again! It was super flattering, glitzy without feeling obnoxious, had enough space for Spanx underneath, and wasn't itchy or anything like that. 

If you have a butt, it will definitely be shorter and tighter than if not. So beware if you will be dancing or sitting. But otherwise love this brand and was stunning in person 

The dress is definitely snug, but in the right way. Everything felt very held in and was shockingly comfortable for being completely beaded. If you’re between sizes I would definitely get the backup dress in the bigger size, if available. I absolutely loved this dress and couldn’t recommend it more!

I got so many compliments on this dress! It was super comfortable too. I felt so beautiful and confident 

The perfect amount of sparkle for New Year's! I rented this for a NYE wedding and it was the perfect occasion for this dress--lots of compliments! The dress ran a little small so if you're between sizes, I would size up. There's not much stretch to it. Also, the lining tended to scrunch up under the dress at times but overall, it was a good fit. And no need for a bra! 

Larger breasts no bra fit a Med but I workout a lot. Sizing up would be an issue with dress for many reasons. Arms, length, tightness, bust. But a medium is a medium 

Love love loved this dress! It's pretty true to size (I probably could have squeezed in the L, but went with the XL for extra comfort. It's a little heavy so perfect for a chilly NYE night. Rent this dress!

Literally everyone loved the dress and wanted to know where I got it from. It was amazing!! Only downfall is the sequins will pull at your curls if your hair is down! 

Great fit, snug and comfortable to wear without a bra. Not itchy or heavy. Thick material. Really fun dress! 

This dress was gorgeous and comfortable. I got so many compliments on how it showed off my back and butt! (Thank you squats!) And despite the long sleeves and sequins I did not get too warm. Rent if you are ready to be the center of attention.

The dress was super small. I normally wear an XS and wore a medium for this event. It was really much thicker and therefore way hotter than I thought it was going to be. It looked a little less stylish in person and maybe looked cheaper than I was hoping it would? Ultimately looks good in pictures though!
