Man I wanted to like this but the dress was just WAY to short. Also, the fabric was not forgiving in hiding any stomach issues you may have AND there's no way you can wear spanxs because the back is SO low. I'm 5'7 and the front came to my high thighs and the back was even shorter. (I have an ample butt) No way sitting or bending would happen. From the waist up was gorgeous and sexy but below was a hot mess. The fabric showed all of my loose skin from birth and weight loss and there was no way I could wear a bra or spanxs to smooth anything out.

Loved this dress!!! I got SO many complements. I am 5'7, 170, 38D, athletic build (I do Olympic lifting so I'm not a small gal), thick thighs, ample tush, broad shoulders, slight tummy pudge in lower abdomen and some lose skin from birth & weight loss. I normally wear size 10 in Jcrew, anthropology & 8 in Loft. This dress fit true to size. The material had some stretch to it and the fabric was thick so it hid the issues I have with my lower stomach. I did not need any spanxs! This dress holds everything all in and smoothly! The slit came to my mid thigh and was just enough to give this classy dress a bit of sexiness to it. I love it so much I def will wear again! I just may buy it.

At the time I was 210 lbs and wearing between a size 12 &14. 38 D chest and pretty big butt and thighs. I got the large and XL. Went with the XL due to having difficulty zipping up large when it got to bust area. (I also have a pretty wide/large ribcage) XL fit was snug in all the right places. The material is stretchy and thick so it is forgiving. I did wear a heavy duty version of Spanx to just help smooth everything down and help out with my tummy pooch. Strapless bra was worn. Dress sleeves didn’t come up. I was afraid that might happen due to the position. All in all a great dress for curvier women!

I am a 38D and this would not fit my bust. This would have been great if I could have zipped it up fully. :(

Beautiful dress worn for my hubbies Christmas party. I ended up wearing a cream cardigan with it because it was cold out. Pros: fits as expected around mid section very flattering for larger women. Cons: of you are well endowed (I'm a 38D) then there will be a LOT of cleavage. If this was an evening out with he hubby I would have flaunted it. However, this was a Christmas luncheon so I covered the girls up. I have larger arms and the sleeve area was a bit tight when moving my arms around.

I didn't end up wearing this to my Christmas party but did wear it to church that weekend. This is a great dress you can dress up or down. For church I wore a sweater over it and a jean jacket with flats. Fits true to size and is great for larger chested women because the back is adjustable. Will rent this again if the occasion arises.

Top fits a little tight on the top if you are well endowed. I'm a 36-38 C and I was showing some ample cleavage. I love that the bottom of the dress poofs out. It helped hide my lower belly pooch. Loved the pockets too. Really enjoyed wearing this dress.

I rented this for my anniversary dinner. I normally wear a size 8. So I ordered the 10 based on the fitting recommendation. When I received the dress it looked perfect for the occasion. Unfortunately it was WAY too small! I have a fairly athletic build and I think a wider frame then most women. Even at a size 8 I would say I'm a broad 8. I do cross fit and lift weights so you can imagine my frame. I'm also a 36 D. I think these were all players as to why the dress didn't fit. I just couldn't get it to zip up once it got past my waist and was at my ribs and chest. I think if you have a more narrow frame a and normally a size 8 a 10 would work. If you aren't sure just order a size up for your back up. I didn't get a back up because I got this through the unlimited membership and there was no back up option. Hope this helps!

I used this bag for a trip to NYC. It was perfect! There was just enough room to hold my wallet, phone, and camera. I have 3 younger kids so I knew we'd be running around the city trying to fit in all the typical sightseeing things with them and didn't want to fuss with a purse. This helped keep me hands free to hold kiddos hands and chase them down while the frantic running at FAO. It was nice to have something that looked glamorous while serving its very unglamorous purpose.

This was my back up so I didn't end up wearing it. I normally wear a 10 to 8. The 8 was a little tight but it worked because the fabric is stretchy. I saw that most reviews said the dress ran big but I didn't think it did. I do think this is dress that needs to wear a little on the tight side. I don't think it would look good baggy or too big. The fabric is a bit more textured then you can see in the picture which made it a little odd for me. I didn't particularly love it and probably wouldn't rent it again. When I tried it on I didn't think it was very flattering on my body type. Perhaps if I had better undergarments to really create an hour glass silhouette it would have looked better. I'm curvy but in an odd way. However, a friend of mine rented it a few months back and I though it looked GREAT on her. She has small waist but good hips, a great classic hourglass figure, fuller bust and is fairly short. She looked FAB!!! hope this helps!

I wore this dress to this years AF Ball and felt like a star in it! My two daughters kept telling me how I looked like a movie star! It was very cute! Here is my breakdown: My body type: After having three kids I have a bit of a lower tummy pooch that isn't too bad but can be a factor in finding dresses.I also have a pretty generous backside. The dress fit: The dress is very low cut in front and back. So if you are not comfortable with showing a little bit of skin then you may want to reconsider. If you have a fuller bust this will work but anything larger than a D cup may be tricky because the cut is such a deep v and there isn't a lot of support. I would suggest a deep v backless bra. I tried a "sticky" breast cover thing that sticks to the breast and can create minimal lift. It did not work because it was too big & could be seen. I ended up going without a bra. However, I have had inplants so I don't really 'sag' (for lack of better word). That's why I think I was able to pull it off without a bra. I did use clothing tape to tape down the inside "v" of the front to make sure the dress didn't shift in an unwanted mannor and to ensure it would lay flat when I sat down. The dress is on the long side. The only problem I had was when walking the back of my heel snagged a few times on the back of the dress. The slits on each side of the dress hit me mid thigh. It wasn't too high and you could only notice the slits when I was walking or when I wanted to sort of jut my leg out (a la angelina jolie...which I actually never did other then in the comfort of my own home! ) The cut of the dress is forgiving and comfortable. Most formal dresses I've worn in the past I need some kind of bustier or spanx but I didn't have to wear anything with this. It hid my tummy pooch well. One note, the dress fabric is somewhat sheer so be sure to wear flesh colored undergarments! I felt good the whole night! I didn't want to get out of the dress I felt so good!
