Comfortable and unique!
I’m 5’10” and about 165lb now, and the 8 fit perfectly. There is a little stretch, so it was good for my hourglass shape. The overlay is velvet which is hard to see in pictures but so pretty in person. Really comfortable and easy to move in.

Kiriya Velvet Lace Column Dress

Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 160lbs
Bust: 34D
Pretty but runs large
I didn’t end up wearing the dress because it was just too large. I’m 5’10” and about 164 lbs and typically wear between an 8 or 10. The 8 in this dress was too roomy. It’s pretty fabric and well made, but I could have used a 6 (which is unheard of for me) to make it look right.

Comfortable and striking!
Really comfortable and easy to move in. Colors are vibrant and the lace overlay is so pretty! I got lots of compliments. I wore the medium and it was a perfect fit- I'm 5'10" and 160lbs with hips and it worked!

Didn't end up wearing.
It was a much heavier fabric than I expected, which isn't a bad thing in general, but it was for me with an unexpected very warm evening. I typically wear a size large and this large felt bigger than normal. It would have been a little loose in the shoulders/upper part if I had worn and I have fairly broad shoulders. I would say to rent - but maybe get your backup in a size smaller.

Black Morello Dress

Size Worn: None
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 168lbs
Bust: 36C
Cute but too small
I got this as Mystery Bling and while it was a Pretty bag and would have gone well with my dress, it was sadly too small for my phone. I didn't end up using it.

Perfect dress
If I could buy this dress I would. It was classic, comfortable and perfect in every way. Like other reviewers said, it just lays well and doesn't show flaws. I tried it with and without spanx, and could have gone either way from a hip/thigh perspective, but I opted for spanx to feel completely confident. Highly recommend!
Navy Side Slit Sheath

Super comfortable and classic with a twist
I have typically been wearing size 12 recently, but the 10 was much more secure around my chest and still fit my hips nicely. It's got a lot of give, but is structured. I did wear spanx under it for my own sanity, but don't necessarily think I had to. I don't think my picture does it justice, because it doesn't look boxy when the sides are flowy and you can see your shape. Would rent again for sure.

Comfortable, flowy and beautiful color
I'm 5'10 and 180 and the 12L fit perfectly. Skimmed the floor and I wore flat sandals since I would be on my feet a lot. Really comfortable and fit just right.

Comfortable and elegant!
Great, thick material. Really well made. I am typically a size 10 in my lower body, but the flare of the dress was perfect for me to wear an 8. The 10 was a little loose in top-so you want to make sure it's fitted unless you like extra poof. Lots of compliments!

Beautiful and comfortable!
I typically wear a size 10, but the size 8 was perfect and I was glad I ordered both sizes. The dress just lays really well and is a great fabric. I was super comfortable and got a ton of compliments. Loved it! One of my guests actually liked it so much that she rented it for another event she had coming up. Very versatile.

Great fit - comfortable - elegant!
Heavy material, so it lays really well. Stretches, so was great for my curves. Huge plus that I was comfortable all night, loved having sleeves! Got so many compliments!

Courtess Gown
Carmen Marc Valvo
Size Worn: 10L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 166lbs
Bust: 34D
Lots of compliments on the dress - the overlay gives it a unique appearance.
As others mentioned, it does run a little large. I usually shy away from straighter styles since I'm bottom heavy, but this had some stretch and was perfect. I added a wide belt b/c it just needed a little something in the middle and helped pull it together. Super comfortable - zero complaints and lots of compliments!
