I wore this to a black tie wedding in the winter. This is the best dress I have ever worn in my life (rivaling only my wedding gown! It is so flattering and the design is perfect. Unique without being "too much." If I could afford to own this dress, I would buy it. 10/10

This is a great dress. I rented this dress in 2019 for a fall wedding, and loved it so much that when I was in a pinch in fall of 2021, I rented it again! The style of the dress is very flattering and hides any insecurities you might have about a little belly pouch. I wore the large this year because it was the only one available, but the medium would have probably been a bit better for my size (I think I wore the M in 2019). Very comfortable and I felt beautiful!

I love this dress so much that I rented it twice! The first time I rented it, I weighed less (~135lbs, 5'6") - I wore the size 6 and the dress fit like a GLOVE, absolutely perfect in every aspect. I was a little nervous to rent it again after some weight gain (~145lbs) so I sized up to the 8, and once again, I had a pretty great experience. (The picture is from my second rental). This dress hugs your body in the all the right ways - my biggest problem the second time around was in the hips, which is where I gained the majority of the weight. I had a little bit of that bunching and pulling in the front that happens when a dress is too tight in the hips, but as long as I remembered to pull the dress down every so often, it wasn't so bad. The dress still fit well around my chest and waist and I was very comfortable the whole night. There was a little extra material puffing out in the stomach area which I think was due to the wide hips issue. Overall, I'd say to just be careful if you know you have a wide hip situation, but even then, order the backup size as one larger to be safe. I received so many compliments in this dress, and so many people told me to just buy it - I highly recommend!

This dress fit like a glove! I felt amazing in this dress. At times it was a little tight sitting down but definitely worth it. Great color, I'd say this picture is true to the actual color of the dress. Definitely recommend!

Exactly what I was looking for. The weight of the material was perfect for keeping me warm at a fall outdoor wedding in the south while still allowing me to show some skin. I'd been warned about the long straps from other comments, and they were VERY long, but it was nothing a few heavy duty safety pins couldn't handle. Size-wise, the 8 fit so well that I didn't even try the 6 before the event. After the wedding, I tried the 6 just to see what it looked like, and that actually fit perfectly and looked even better (next time I will definitely try both sizes BEFORE the event). The color was perfect - I wanted to avoid the stereotypical "little black dress" without sticking out too much, and the shade of blue was perfect. Overall, this was a great dress and I'd even consider renting it again.

Amazing dress. The medium fit well in all the right places and looked very sexy, but I ended up going with the large for a more conservative fit (it was a family wedding, after all). Both sizes looked amazing, though, and I felt so beautiful all night. The only con was the lining, which I needed to pull down a few times throughout the night. Otherwise it was a perfect, elegant dress!
