Small arms
The dress itself is super cute and appears to fit true to size. But, the arms are very tight with no stretch. I couldn't wear it for this reason.

Tiny arm holes
The arms are really small. I couldn't even pull the sleeves all the way up. The rest of the dress seemed to be more true to size, but I'd avoid it if you carry extra inches in the biceps.

Comfortable, easy fit
Great black dress that is easy and comfortable to wear. There is a slit in the front that is not super easy to see in photos, but it is draped over so it does not become indecent. I'm tall, and it hit me at the knee.

Beautiful color and flattering fit
Fit really nicely. The bodice is designed so it doesn't look boxy, but the bottom has plenty of movement. The color is gorgeous. I received many compliments.

Not a good fit
I wanted to love this dress, but it just did not work for me. The fit was snug, and the cutout in the back is larger than it appeared to me in photos. While the bodice fit tightly, it still bunched up when sitting, asking for a wardrobe malfunction. Perhaps it just wasn't right for my body type. On the up side, the fabric is beautiful.

Classy and Comfortable
I rented this for my office holiday party. The whole dress is stretch material, so it's incredibly comfortable. The length was appropriate for my tall frame, although the slit would have gone too high if I was not wearing tights.

Beautiful detail, nice fit
I rented this for a holiday party with clients. The dress was appropriately modest without being drab. I'm very tall, and it was close the knee length on me. The fabric does not have any give, but it runs true to size.
