A hint of sparkle!
I am usually a medium or a large and this large was very form fitting. The dress has a good amount of stretch and will “suck you in”. Pictures don’t do the color justice. Definitely has metallic sparkle throughout. Got tons of compliments.

Tons of compliments!
Dress was great. Had just the right amount of stretch to make it form fitting but comfortable. The sleeves are fun but did seem a little short. I would have thought the bell would be closer to my wrist. I'm 5'9" so most things are a little shorter though.

Too tight
I did not wear this dress bc it didn't seem to have any give. It showed too many of the things I like to hide. Plus my husband and son both HATED the sleeves.

Just OK
The dress was a little flimsy and just not the best style for me. Fit true to size and was flowy.

Sexy dress
This dress does not have a zipper and really hugs your curves. This was a back up dress and was a little tighter than I would have liked but they did not have my size in stock. Received lots of attention and compliments all night.

Perfect dress
Dress was very comfortable and had a great fit. I did have to pin the top to keep the girls from being the center of attention but it was a very appropriate dress for a rehearsal dinner. I am normally a 12 but it was not in stock - the tie around the waist helped the 14 fit great. Would rent this dress again!

Classic!
Dress was tight around my rib cage so I went up a size. Not the most comfortable fit to sit at dinner (made me have excellent posture!) but was great for cocktail hour and pictures. Regular length allowed me to wear flats!

Classic look!
Fit true to size. The top was a little tight but held the girls in place for sure. Very comfortable and easy to dress it up!

Great for the awards dinner
Dress was a little tighter in the hips and looser in the shoulders but overall great dress. I loved the length!

Perfect for our event!
I wore this to a charity auction with a Royal/British theme. It was the perfect length and went great with my fascinator. I'm 5'9" and wore heels so the length worked but if I was shorter it may be have been too long. Fabric was heavy and the dress fit well.

Perfect little black dress!!
This dress was a back up dress and it may be my best rental yet. I usually wear a Large but ordered larger due to other reviews. The XL was a perfect fit and perfect length. I loved the sleeves on this dress for a winter party. Fabric was a nice weight too. I will rent this again for sure!

Too matronly
This dress would be great on someone tall and sinny but on me I was wearing a tablecloth. Just not a flattering fit on a size large person. I did not end up wearing this dress.

A little too short!
Great color for a holiday event. Decided not to wear this because it was too short for a sit-down dinner for someone 5'9" (hello spanx hanging out the bottom when I sat down). Loved the color and the sleeves!

Perfect for a Morrocan themed event
This necklace was the perfect accessory to match my dress for our Morrocan themed office party. I had no idea how to pull off that theme so I went with a tassel. Nailed it!

This dress was perfect for my office party. I wore a regular bra and the length was great! The detail in the back was a fun surprise. Fit ran very true to size.

Too tight, Too short
The material was not what I expected and unfortunately, the dress showed every lump and bump. The length was a little shorter than I would have liked. Fine while standing but no one wants to stand through dinner.

Perrfect for a night out!
Wore this for a night out in Vegas. I was very comfortable all night. Only hard part was going to the restroom. You have to clasp the back to get it to fit right and you can't hook it by yourself. Pro tip: take a friend to the bathroom with you!

Did not wear
The bottom half fit and the torso was long enough but the top part was too big and I'm large chested. No matter how I adjusted it, it just didn't work.

Great fit and very comfortable. I was able to wear flats which made my night. Easy to add some accessories for our Gatsby themed party. Received tons of compliments.

Pockets!
Fit as expected and had pockets! Can't go wrong. I always wish that the waist was longer and hit me at my natural waist but I'm 5'9" and this is a common problem for me.

Great clutch
The clasp was hard to open. We struggled to get lipstick a few times but overall great bag. Gave a little bling to my little black dress.

Great LBD for an awards dinner
The only con was how straight across the bodice was. Standing at the right angle there was almost a side boob thing going on. I am a 34DD and side boob is not cool. Loved the fit of the dress, I was very comfortable all night. I wear a 10 or a 12 in most dresses and the 10 fit as expected. I needed Spanx but I almost always need Spanx.

Stunning dress!
I'm 5'9" and I ordered a long and a regular. I went with the regular because I would have had to wear 4 inch heels with the long. Instead I wore flats and the length was perfect. This dress really accentuates your bust. I went with the 12R but the 10L also fit. I didn't even have to wear Spanx due to the style of the dress. All around winner!

A little too tight but love the long sleeves
I wore this to an awards banquet and was a little self-conscious bc it was so tight. I did love the length, the neckline, and the long sleeves. Very classy look but the extra strong Spanx I had to wear made it hard to breathe.

Super Cute but Short Waisted!
I'm 5'9" and the waist on this was way too high. It still looked cute just not as flattering as it could have been. Hence no photo!

Fundraiser Casino Party!
Dress fit great. I usually wear a 10 or 12 and the 12 fit just fine on this dress (plus it was my only size option). I did not notice bad wrinkles or water stains as some reviews mentioned. Received a ton of compliments on the dress!
