Great style, funky sizing
This was too weird to wear for my body type. Fit everywhere but my arms and created strange lines. Not for every-body, if you catchmy drift.

Beautiful, sexy cottage core...but watch the arms
I've rented this dress a lot because I love the way it fits my torso, but watch out for the tight arms. The last time I wore this, I found someone had removed the elastic around one arm (had to pin it to look right). Everything else has some stretch.

Amazing, sexy, and stylish
Black Halo has become one of my favorite brands! Assuming you get the waist size right, this would be a good fit for just about anyone (waist has some stretch too). The bow and color are fantastic, and this was a great length for my 5'9 (just below the knee). Would buy this one if I could.

Beautiful dress, but not flattering
The craftsmanship is incredible, but if you have any curves, it will latten them out. It made me look square and like I was all block torso. The dress itself is stunning. For someone with a straighter or athletic build, I bet it would look amazing. Very little give, so sizing is difficult.

This dress was so much fun. I should've gotten the small; it was a wee bit tight but still flattering. Looks bright and cheerful, but still modest enough to wear to work. We had a Beatles cover band in that day and they thought it was so becoming they dedicated a song to "the girl in the yellow dress" :)

Beautiful fit and color.
The blue is gorgeous and the fit very flattering and lady like, The little darts around the top add a pretty shape and the sleeves are the right size to look flowy, but not puffy.

Form Fitting
YOU NEED SOMEONE TO HELP YOU GET INTO THIS! I am talking roommate, boyfriend, or a lady in waiting; it is very hard to zip the top half by yourself. I am pear shaped and had to step into it... still not sure how the bathroom situation will work. Despite the difficulty associated with getting in and out of the dress, the material is magical and hold you in beautifully. I'm not even wearing shapewear! The length is good, but I am tall with a long torso, which is unfortunately highlighted by the shape. Nevertheless, I feel sexy and confident.

Very Flattering with leggings.
I loved this top! I am super pear shaped, so having something that drew addition to and showed off my waist so well was awesome! It is very short and would have been too tight had a buttoned it all the way down, so I wore it open a few buttons under the tie with black leggings and heels. Got a lot of compliments.

Perfect for Fall!
I loved this dress! The fabric in a good weight and the color a beautiful rich autumn brown. The cut could be seen as plain, though the fabric's ribbing gives it a slight pattered appearance. Wore it twice, Lots of compliments both occasions.

Not super flattering
I have worn other DVF dresses in similar material and loved them so I was a wee-bit disappointed with how this fit. It was not flattering around my arms and too loose in the waist.

Sexy stegosaurus dress!
This dress is great for the pear-shaped ladies with small waists and big downtowns. The shoulders require some adjusting (they slip throughout the day) and the plumage is super fun. It even has pockets, though the material is so light, I wouldn't load them up.

Beautiful, but weird cut for pear-shaped
The dress and material were lovely, but the cut was not flattering. I have wide hips and a small waist. My thighs pushed out the side panels' pleating and the torso section looked boxy. Would HIGHLY recommend for Straight and Narrow ladies.

Pretty in Plaid
I wore this in December to my brother's graduation. The pattern is very sweet, but the shape was strange. Tight around my arms, super loose around my waist. You can't belt it due to the ribbon-like waistband. I pinch safety pinned it in on both sides and you couldn't tell. I think someone bustier would pull it off better.

This dress is beautiful, and the while the silhouette was flattering, I didn't like the way it highlighted my arms (a current area of discontent.) The sequins are a tad itchy, but the dress is a showstopper. Will try again when I feel more comfortable with my arms.

Mermaid Dress
The color is this seafoamy, sage looking green which I LOVED. The cut and flow are fantastic, but the top is a little wonky. It has wiring in it to keep it up, which if your boobies don't fill (ala me), it looks a bit rumpled. Still loved it! Felt like a mermaid princess. Will def rent again.

Vibrant Color!
While the skirt looks like it has a lot of wiggle room, it come with a tighter slip underneath that didn't fit me. I usually size down with skirts that hit my waist, but the slip caused it to bunch up a bit. The peek-a-boo colored pleats are so vibrant and fun! That blue is just as beautiful in person.

Gorgeous color and cut!
The cut of the dress is very flattering and the sleeves were the perfect length. I thought I could pull off a small due to the shape of the dress, but the fabric doesn't have as much give as I thought, so it was a tight fit. Still looked great. My boyfriend said it was his favorite yet and suggested I get it again for Christmas. May try a medium this time though.

Great piece! I wore it to a hockey game with black pants and a leather jacket and felt stylish and warm. The knit is very see through, so I would recommend an undershirt (or not ;) you do you!)

Warm and colorful!
I loved this and the cutouts! It kept me warm, but not too hot and the sweater has a lot or subtle color. One thing I will warn; it does have alpaca hair (5%?), so it can get a little itchy in places. Size was a little on the small side, but just because it was tight-knit.

Bringing sexy---back!
This dress cradled my bum like the hands of Zeus! I never thought of rocking a fit and flare, but DAMN! The back is sexy and refined. The top has a slightly strange situation where it clips like a bra strap over one shoulder and that proved hard to get done quickly. I definitely could have used a padded, push-up, sticky bra as I really did not fill out the top (bottom I filled out fine ;)) Overall, really liked it. Would rent again, in Regular and perhaps a size 2 as the fabric had a decent amount of stretch. The long touched the floor, even in 3in heels.

Super sleek and sexy!
This dress was lovely, but SUPER tight! Putting it on was like being born; had to worm my way through (there are no zippers and it is skin tight). Got easier with practice. Definitely DO NOT DO YOUR MAKEUP BEFORE PUTTING IT ON. I just slide the arms out once it was on and wore it around my waist so I wouldn't get any powder or foundation on it while getting ready (or over heat). Someone else compared it to a wetsuit and I second that. The fabric is thick, but stretchy and the dress hit just above my ankles with heels. It is tight around the armpit area, but kept me warm outside. The back is stunning! Was easy to dance in. Overall, loved it! Felt sexy, slim and confident wearing this dress.

Beautiful color and cut!
Be warned: it's a lot longer than it looks. That model has to have the longest legs, because I am 5'9 and a size 4 hit me mid calf, where as it's at her knees in the pictures (so jealous!). Despite that, I loved it! The top has a decent amount of stretch and I could (and should) have sized down. The color is fantastic and very fall appropriate. Many compliments. Very happy!

Sleek and stylish!
Awesome dress! It is ribbed, which you can't tell in the photo. I got a medium because I was worried it'd be a little tight in the trunk, but the fabric was so think and stretchy, I could (and should) have gone with a small. As a result of sizing up, it was loose around my waist. Great length. Nice for work to cocktails. Definitely would rent again in a small!

Adorable and elegant!
The dress was adorable! I got so many compliments. It is tight around the waist, but not uncomfortable. There is wiggle room everywhere else (I am pear shaped and appreciate room in the skirt). The opening in the back is the perfect blend of sweet and sexy. Worn to a work event for a big name designer!

I was worried about a small being too tight, but it fit perfectly and the tie front is too darn cute! Held up well in the Austin heat; light and billowy-ish. I wore with black jeans and black ankle boots and it looked awesome!

So cool!
I am typically a 4, but went with a 6 because I was worried it would be tight around the rear (where I am between a 6-8). It was a little big up top, but the tie front helpd me close the gap a bit. Got tons of compliments! It was so hot outside, I unbutton some on the bottom bits to get some air up there; looked even cuter!!!

The color was fantastic! It was the perfect dress for Austin City Limits!
The material is a little stiff and it a wee bit short for me. I'm 5'9 and have a larger bum, so while the dress seemed plenty long in the front, the back was something to be aware of (didn't want to flash anyone)! Other than that, great dress!
