This gown was so beautiful and felt very elegant. Wore it to the opera and it was a hit. 

I loved this velvet dress. I’m 5’9 & with small heals perfect length. I wish I had a better picture. I didn’t need a bra. 

I liked it but it didn’t fit perfectly on my back

Beautiful black velvet dress. Perfect for an evening black tie wedding in the Texas Hill Country. Wear an 8R. Love the dress.

Fit great with a beautiful silhouette. I did use fabric tape on the back. Depending on your shoulder width it could slip off shoulders.

I have never felt more beautiful than I did in this dress. Not only is it gorgeous but so incredibly comfortable. Too long for my 5’3 frame even with a 4” heel but was able to fashion tape the front and make it look more like a mini train in the back. I wish I had somewhere else to wear it!

Lots of room in the bust, tight around the arms and shorter length

It was a little short on me with heels but otherwise great fit 

I wore this to a formal wedding. The fit was great and it was very comfortable!

The most classy of dresses! I feared the back would be too low, but it was just the right about of back showing and fit so perfectly. It’s a bit stiff to move in, as the fabric doesn’t give much. My only complaint was that the high neckline agitated my skin at my neck a bit, but small price to pay. It wasn’t very long on me, but I did have a bit of a train which was nice! Would rent again so fast!

Wore this to a black tie affair in November and it was beautiful. Low back was still very elegant and the velvet material helped keep me warm. Got so many compliments. I wore short heels with the dress and I am 5'6 and the dress touched the floor but not enough that I tripped on it. No bra needed even with my D cup size. Would rent again~ 

So classy but with a little spice with the low back. I felt gorgeous and got so many compliments. My husband is still talking about     “that dress”. 

Loved this dress! Classy, elegant, comfortable, perfect for a black tie wedding in January. Fits true to size.

This was a real showstopper and flattering all around. Great for short girlies if you can get the petite. Better for smaller bust.

I was prepared to wear the 10 but the 8 fit perfectly! I’m 5’5 - 5’6” and wore tall heels. It’s longer in back than front. If you want to wear lower heels consider petite? Wore spanx to smooth but not necessary. No slit so you can’t take big strides but walking and sitting was so easy. I’m big chested but it wasn’t tight. No bra necessary. Got compliments from strangers on the elevator. Highly recommend!

I sized up to a 6R based on other reviews and am glad I did because even then, the fit around the hips was snug when I sat down. The material is thick and comfortable, and the back is such a showstopper! Great for a black tie wedding, especially in the fall/winter.

This dress is stunning. Gorgeous! I did not realize it was velvet when I rented it, but I loved it. It’s equal parts demure and head turning. Fits like a glove. The neckline is beautiful! 

Loved this dress! It was comfortable and beautiful. Did not realize it was velvet but nonetheless it was perfect. 

This was perfect for a conservative, formal event. I used boob tape, and was not able to wear shape wear because of the low back. Many reviews suggested the dress ran small and so I ordered my backup size in a larger size. Wish I’d gone with my smaller size, but what I wore was fine for the evening. 

So beautiful and comfortable for a formal wedding! Ended up wearing an adhesive bra (not pictured) and it was very lovely.
