This dress fit me like a glove, and I got so many compliments on it. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. 

Wore this to a work holiday party! Fits great for tall girls. I read the reviews that the top is tight which I liked because it was supportive without having to wear a bra. 

Had to switch from medium to large for the bust but otherwise amazing dress 

I’m 5’3”, 34B, athletic build but petite. This was a gorgeous little black dress with velvet strip detail down the sides and perfectly placed side slit for movement. I will say the chest area was very snug for me. I’m average bust size, so I was surprised. I had to pull the dress on over my head to get it on. When I tried to step into it, fully unzipped, I couldn’t get it over my hips due to the very fitted chest portion of the dress. Otherwise perfect length and fit through hip. would highly suggest sizing up, especially if you’re in between sizes. I generally wear a size 2-4 dress so got the XS and S. I couldn’t even get the XS on at all. The S was super snug at chest but worked. I probably could have made out best with medium size. 
Also, yes that’s the lead singer of Fuel! I wore this to a music award show. Perfect for the occasion! 

Amazing dress! Very flattering. The one complaint is that it was a little tight up top. I have DDs and it was squeezing them up. Great for someone with a C cup. Otherwise super comfortable and fit like a glove. 

Got tons of compliments. Super comfortable to move and dance in. Would definitely rent again

Absolutely loved this dress! Was worried about the length, but it fit perfectly. Not too tight around the waist and very flattering on the bust. A bonus: comfortable to dance in. 

This dress is absolutely beautiful, but sizing was weird. It fit on the body well, but was VERY tight on the chest and shoulders. It honestly left marks from how tight it was. Would not work for someone with a larger chest or broader shoulders. I couldn't size up though or it wouldn't have fit everywhere else.

This dress was so sexy but ran REALLY small. I normally am between an XS & S, & I wish I had gotten a M

Pretty but fit a bit tight. Would size up. Length was nice. Ended up not wearing it since I found another dress i liked more for a black tie wedding.

Required someone else to zip me in. I have a small (small b cup) chest but muscular back & it was a squeeze to fit in, but did provide some decent cleavage that I usually don’t have! Plenty of room in the waist & hips. The zipper in the back was uncomfortable to sit in, but while standing it didn’t bug me at all. Overall very flattering.

I'm obsessed with this dress. The material is thick, the velvety pieces are soft, and the shape is ideal. The fact this would not fit my bust broke my heart a bit - so I just ordered the large and I'm keeping my fingers crossed. My boobs are flat as pancakes from the side in this photo haha. For what it's worth, the medium fit me perfectly and hugged just right, aside from the chest! 

This dress is STUNNING. Absolutely snatches the waist. As a bustier woman with some curves, this made my chest POP but from the side it really smooshed my sisters and made them look oddly square. So beware girlies with a C cup or larger. There is a line of fabric in the top that creates great lift but also severe squish. I just tried to keep my hair over it to make it more discreet. 

Really flattering dress - renewed it for another cycle to wear to a second wedding. Fit tight but thick material. 

Loved for this for working a company gala – very dressy and pretty without being revealing or restricting. Length hit right above the shoe (I'm 5'8" and wore 3" heels) which was nice for running around. Very snug in the bust/chest/upper area – had to size up.

Easy to dress up or down, I have rented this twice and gotten a lot of compliments ! Snug fit but really flattering  on. 

Tight around the chest so keep that in mind if you're busty!

I wore this for a work event (black tie gala) and it was perfect for the occasion. I normally wear a S or M but only the L fit me. It was very flattering and hugged me well. I didn’t have to wear a bra (wearing one would have made it snug). I highly suggest you rent more than one size as the dress is worth wearing but sizing is bizarre. 

If between 2 sizes, go for the bigger and then up another size. Very unforgiving on the chest 

This dress is amazing for the price. Super flattering and comfortable. 

This dress is made of thick material but is still stretchy. Great for a colder event with a shawl. It definitely runs small as others have said. I am always either an xs or a s, and I ordered a s and m. I went with the small in the end because it was a little more chic and fitted, but I probably would have been more comfortable in the medium. For both sizes the dress hit the tops of my feet which was great since I'm 5'1" . 

great for winter holiday party - fit nicely 

Rented this on a whim when I realized I didn’t have anything to wear to a black tie wedding and it was so insanely flattering on. I’m normally a solid medium but sized up and am so glad I did- a medium would have been too small. It’s the perfect black dress for a wedding!!

Will be buying this dress. I was SO in love with the fit and the look!

Very pretty but was way too tight in bust for me

I  loved this dress.  It looked fabulous on.  I  read the reviews which said to size up and I  am glad I  did.  I  usually wear a Small but the Medium fit perfectly.  

I loved how this fit me, I'm usually a small but the Medium was the better option for me. I'm not chesty by any means but this dress is TIGHT in the chest. It fit great though everywhere else. Loved the velour side panel! Would definitely rent again for a formal event. 

I'm usually a solid medium but ordered a large based on reviews. It is tight in the top, but I like that since I didn't need to wear a bra with it. Very comfortable and got lots of compliments. I'm 5'11" and the length hit me right above the ankles so looked great with some ankle strap heels. 

loved this, wanted to buy. maybe the most perfect lbd?

This is a great dress. It worked really well for my formal affair. The top is by far the tightest part. If you have a larger chest or hips, go up a size or two! I loved the velvet accent!

Fit tight at the chest, I have a wider rib cage for my size but don’t have big breasts, I think if you are bigger in the chest area this may not be a good option. Fit great everywhere else. 

A great look.  Fabric is heavy = main reason I did not end up wearing (to an early June evening wedding).  I'm typically between size 6 & 8, yet Medium was SNUG.  Also, on this 5'4" frame, dress was floor length with slit barely showing.  Neckline rocks, tho.  A petite version would be nice.
