Nice dress with a fun cape
It fit very well but has no stretch. Luckily TT fits me just right (5’1”, 110#, athletic build with no curves) hitting just at the knee. This was perfect for Christmas Eve church service.

Smart & stylish
This fit nicely and was a lovely dress. I was hoping for a more formal look, alas it went more day dress than Christmas Eve Church (fancy). It’s a lovely piece that fits well and is flattering.

Great cocktail ring!
Fun, larger ring to help make a statement. It seemed a bit tired, but to be expected for a great, versatile piece.

Elegant stunner with just enough “something” special.
The sleeves are everything! Xmas Eve Mass is my family’s Oscars and this dress hit the mark. The fit was true to size. The fabric is fabulous for a proper MI winter. The funnel-neck is a lovely detail if you have broader shoulders. If you have hostess or baby-momma duties, the sleeves are a challenge. Also challenging if you wear a coat; choose your outerwear wisely! My friend liked it so much, she found it online in black and bought it for her wardrobe. I would absolutely wear this again!

Sleek lovely dress with an unexpected olive color.
Christmas Eve every year, my family gets dressed to the 9's. No one is better dressed than my mom (ever!), but this year I came close with this sophisticated look. The olive green is very flattering and the ruffle is well-placed camouflage for those extra holiday lumps. The fabric is light and the high neck not too high. The dress was snug without being clingy but a strapless bra and commando thong were smart choices.

The dress is very flattering and quite fitted without being tight.
I didn't wear this as I was more in the mood for the fit and flare shape of the primary dress ordered and I could only wear one dress to church. The frayed ends and varied hem length gave just enough visual interest to a simple sheath. I wish I had a second event to be able to wear this dress! Next time.

PERFECT for my daughter's baptism! Fit nicely & appropriate for catholic mass. Good for a 12YO too!
Fit - spot on with the larger of my 2 "usual sizes", so I guess that means order up. I was surprised by the 2-zipper closure ... 1 at the side, 1 at the back. Thank goodness for hubby to do the zips! Shape - very flattering! Love the fit & flare with the bare arms. Color - there is a subtle charcoal contrast stitch along the waist and hems, but it wasn't overwhelming and added a nice accent in those places. Photos - one is me, the other my 12 year-old-niece who wore it during a second rental :)

Bump-friendly, fun and lovely for a night at the opera.
Very loose fit was very bump-friendly (I was late 2nd trimester with a growing bump) and stylish. The lace shoulders gave the dress some variation, the blue is quite rich and lovely, and the straight fit was perfect for my needs! It looked great with either over-the-knee boots (chilly evening) or fab shoes. It was easy to accessorize with many options depending on your style. I'd rent it again ... with or without the bump!

The dress was chic and stylish for a night at the theater with mom-in-law, but not bump-friendly.
The dress is chic and sophisticated with the moderately high-low hem, navy color, and zippered sleeve cuffs, but it was a last-minute replacement for a different "bump-friendly" dress. Alas, this one is not bump friendly unless you are in the early weeks of pregnancy (I was late 2nd Trimester with a definite but small-ish bump). The fabric is stiff, but for a fit-and-flare for the non-bumpy ladies, I'm sure it would be a great conservative dress and I'd try it again post-bump. It was super-easy to accessorize and looks great with over-the-knee boots (it was chilly) or fab shoes.

My 1st baby shower on a spring Saturday with just the girls. The perfect bump-friendly shower dress!
The dress actually runs large! At 6.5 months pregnant, I still fit the XS (my usual size) with room to grow (and eat). The back is lower than anticipated and it necessitated a strapless bra for me so the straps wouldn't show. If you have a low-back bra, that'd work as well. The wide boatneck made my broad (athletic) shoulders look a bit wide and if you're trying to show off a bump, a belt above the bump would be a benefit (mine broke as I was headed out the door ... it's a boring story). Overall, a fun, flirty, comfy dress probably better suited to the taller gal but most definitely a bump-friendly dress, whether showing off or camouflaging. The lace is a fun, unique pattern!

Better for tall or very pregnant gals
This was more shapeless than the photos implied. The color blocking is great, but the overall shape is rather loose. Not the best for us petite women. So bummed ... I was hoping to wear it to the wedding after-party.

Perfectly suited for a family wedding
It's fit like a glove! I was hesitant about the size, but I usually size down in HL (typically wear a 2), and it proved true once again (wore the 0). I love this dress! It is very flattering and has some subtle jewel tones in the ink spot. Dad even thought I'd gotten a tattoo along the back shoulder because of the pattern on the back shoulder. I hope to have an excuse to wear this again!

Simple, chic, fashionable
This is a snug-fitting dress, but oh so chic! I'm typically a 0/2, but in Bardot, I wore the 4. The 2 fit, but showed every little lump, so the 4 was a bit more forgiving. I paired this with my Japanese kimono for a Japanese-themed formal dinner and the dress was the perfect complement. Have your Spanx and strapless bra at the ready and plan for pix before siting ... the "sit lines" wrinkled and were a bit unflattering in later pix. Love the dress and I would totally rent it again.

Very fun dress! All the reviews about it running large and for bigger-busted ladies (so jealous!) are spot-on. The dress looks best when steamed before wearing to really showcase the soft ruffle on the left side. Very fun for that dressy-casual affair.
