It has and extra layer of fabric that can be used to make a let around your waist. 

This was a beautiful dress for a black tie event.  It fit like a glove!  The waist and bust are very fitted and zip closed, so be sure not to order a size down.  I am almost 5'4" and the regular length was perfect on me with 3 inch heals.  I didn't feel the need to wear a necklace because of all the detailing up top.  The fabric can get a little static-y, so use some dryer sheets or static guard to spray on your before you get dressed.  I didn't need to reply the static guard the rest of the night - it was fine.  It wasn't as form fitting from the waist down, which was good for fit reasons.  But I just felt it didn't give me quite the shape I wanted on the bottom.  But I was happy with the overall look!  A very beautiful dress to rent for a formal event!

I wore this for a black tie event filled with colleagues and work peers, and this was perfect. It was definitely fitted throughout, yet still comfortable enough to last the night. I felt like myself, but didn't feel like I was showing anything inappropriate for a work function.

Loved this dress - I wore it as a bridesmaid dress (directive was long/navy); it was unique and flattering - the fabric felt amazing and I got a ton of compliments on it. Stomach area had a little give & the front rouging hides nicely and worked well for my little pregnant belly!  I'm usually a 0 but was 14 weeks pregnant & starting to get a little fuller than normal, I ended up going with this dress which was the backup dress, size 2, and it fit perfectly (though quite snug around my ribs). 

After reading a previous review of this dress that listed it as like a "choir robe", I admit that I was a tad apprehensive when I received this gown and initially saw a sea of heavy blue cloth (indeed, just like the choir robes of childhood memory).  However, when I put it on, I realized that the gown absolutely delivers. I wore this for a Valentine's Day black-tie affair.   It's classy without verging on dowdy.  It's elegant without edging on pretentious.  It's the perfect dress to wear to a black tie event without looking like you put too much effort or are "over the top" (so key in Washington DC).  I got a slew of compliments on the dress (and the necklace pairing from J Crew) and felt like a veritable socialite in the dress, paired with my boyfriend in his tuxedo.  There are some contradictory reviews on the length too - I'm 5'4" and wore 4 inch heels and the 2L fit but was much, much too long.  The 4R was a tad looser but a good length for a girl my height with heels.  Hope you enjoy this dress as much as I did!! 

The length was perfect and the fabric was to die for. I give it a 10. 

This dress drapes beautifully, but the fit is a little funny. It bunched a little in the hips and it was tough to find undergarments that wouldn't be visible. I was able to wear it to my friend's wedding reception and received several compliments. I sized up in this dress. I am average height, but in 4 inch heels, this dress was just a tad short. Overall, I really did love this dress. Just a few little tweaks would have made it perfect.

The color and cut/draping of the dress is really lovely, the fabric is so luxe. I think it can be a bit volumizing to hourglass types. I am busty but I have a small waist. I had to size up to an 8 when I'm normally a 4 or 6. I was forewarned about the bust thanks to other reviews and was very glad I sized up, the 6 fit everywhere but I couldn't zip the bust. For that reason the waist was too roomy and looked a bit bulky in photos. Nevertheless it was a perfect wedding dress - elegant and chic, not too sexy.

This dress was beautiful, gorgeous color, probably should have gone up a size but they didn't have the next size up so I gave the 4R a shot, really enjoyed the whole shopping experience and process as well, very well thought out, this will be my first thought for the next event.

Nice to wear an elegant dress that was a different color than the sea of black. VERY comfortable fabric and not a tight fit, so every bump or bulge doesn't show. Wear the tape they send to tape up side where there isn't a sleeve, it was a little big on me there so it would have helped. Would be best for a tall person because it's a lot of fabric. I'm 5'9 1/2". Loved it. Recommend it! I wouldn't wear a necklace, would take away from dress. Big sparkly earrings and bracelet!
