I ordered (size 16) for a black tie optional Winter Gala and wasn’t sure on what to expect since I didn’t see another review with a similar body type. At first the dress is like a sac if you have curves and busty. I had to accessorize this dress to create dimension and added a gold chain belt, a bright/bold heel and some other jewelry. I received TONS of compliments on the dress. It is comfy. Only slight issue is that my strapless bra kept peaking and needed to pin it to the dress. Also the split came mid thigh on me when standing.

I mostly got this dress because of how great it looks on other reviewers. Wore this to a semi-formal 5:30PM, August wedding & I’m happy I chose this fabric as I was not sweating to death. I did add a gold chain belt to the dress to make it “pop” some more and give my body a bit more shape, but I was flooded with compliments. Also, I’m not a fan of pre-shaped boob cuts yet with the right strapless bra you don’t notice. I had originally ordered the size 16, but the chest area was wayyyy too snug and I’m happy that the size 18W didn’t make me feel like a tent. I would DEFINITELY wear this dress again.

I thought I was winning with this dress and even sized up, but this isn’t flattering on full bust/curvy ladies. I couldn’t sit down in this, couldn’t zipper it all the way, my boobs weren’t agreeing plus it was gapping. There’s a reason I didn’t take a photo as I’d probably get flagged. Super cute, but I needed 2 sizes even bigger. Ugh.

Wore this for a summer formal wedding and received an abundance of compliments on this dress. It was flowy, the color was amazing against my skin, and the open back was a nice touch. Now, I am 5’2” and wore heels and this dress was a pinch too long where people would occasionally step on it. I do have some back fat but the cut outs still made me feel secured and sexy.

At first I thought this dress wouldn’t be flattering (I’m not huge fan of peplum) but it’s super flattering for pear/hourglass shapes! I wore spanxs & a good strapless bra to keep the girls afloat. The material is comfy, slight stretchy for 16W and could dance all night. Would definitely rent again!

I'm 5'2", 250lbs, 35 weeks pregnant, 42F and rented this dress for a black tie formal quinceañera. I must say I turned heads in this dress and it was very comfortable to wear. My only warning is that when I was seated my chest was very visible no matter how I tried to rearrange. This dress really knows how to show off the chest area, but I didn't feel too bad about it. I would certainly rent this dress again as it enhanced all my curves & didn't make my belly stand out too much.

Thankfully I had ordered 2 dresses just in case one ran small & this one ran small. Apparently my thighs and butt are too wide to zip up pass them. It's a cute dress, but if I got the zipped up then it was way too tight where it made the material pucker.

I rented this for a Christmas work party and it was amazing to wear and made me stand out. The only problem was that I my wearing my bra made the chest area too tight.
