Fun holiday dress
I wore this to a work employee award event and got lots of compliments. Although it’s velvet it still feels pretty light while dancing and it was just unique enough from a LBD. Definitely like this one!

Great summer color
I had so many compliments on this dress and it was such a fun color and style. The 12 was too tight and the 14 was a bit big in the chest so I used some fashion tape just in case. It didn’t move as much as I thought but again just in case. The material didn’t breathe quite as much as I hoped for July but still enjoyed it overall.

Not bump friendly
This dress was listed as maternity friendly but it was not. There was boning in the waist and right under the chest so does not move or stretch if your rib cage has already expanded. Could barely put it on and did not wear it.

very flattering
I ended up wearing the Large of this dress as the extra large was too big in the top. I loved this dress and felt it was very flattering and unique enough with the color and cut to look different as a guest at a wedding. It was fitted but stretchy material that was almost spanx like so kept all the curves nice and smooth looking. On me, the side slit completely disappeared so you could only see it when I moved a certain way which was a bit of a disappointment as that was one of the biggest factors for me renting this dress. All in all, a very flattering dress that was comfortable and I got lots of compliments.

Great fit with a bit of edge
I got a lot of compliments on this dress and I loved the fit and feel of it. It's fitted but still has give to it so it's easy to dance and sit in for a long event such as a wedding. I also loved the cut-outs that added just a little hint of flare and edge while the rest of the cut is a bit more modest. The length is great too, so many fitted dresses are shorter and as a tall woman with a larger bottom, those always make me uncomfortable. The color is really fun too and unique for a wedding. Overall, I'd definitely recommend it!

great fit and color
I loved this dress. It was very comfortable even though it was fitted and I loved the edginess of the cut outs on your waist. The length was also great since I'm tall and I hate shorter dresses (the butt always makes it ride up more). The color was great as well, always fun to wear something other than black. I was able to wear a strapless bra with this, however my bra had a little extra material on the bottom so I made sure to yank it up a couple times just to be sure it didn't peek through the cut-out. I got a lot of complements as well! So I now ordered the coral color of the same dress for another upcoming wedding.

Much tighter than expected
I loved the picture of this dress but feel like it was deceiving. The way it falls on the models' waist and hips looks as if it flares from the waist and thus isn't so tight. For a girl with larger hips and thighs, would have been very helpful to know. I don't think a size up would have helped though for this dress is was that tight on my hips and the slit was digging into my thigh. The material is also really STIFF, almost like a pencil skirt for work, rather than a formal dress. Because of the stiffness, there was really no give to the dress. I think the top would have weirdly bunched as well if I had gotten a larger size since my top isn't as curvy. A pretty dress but did not work for my bodytype at all.

Loved this statement piece
I didn't have many statement earrings of my own so I added these to go with the dress for my friends wedding, I loved them and they added the right touch to my outfit.

Showstopper
I got a lot of compliments on this dress and I definitely did not match anyone at the wedding. I loved the cut-outs that made it a bit edgy, but it was still pretty classic. I have more of a pear shape so this dress was a bit difficult for me, as the top was a little loose an the bottom was very snug. The 8 fit my top better but I had to wear the 10 so it would fit my hips better and not look super tight. I usually always have this problem with more form fitting dresses, but overall the dress still looked great and everyone loved it.

So many compliments!!
I got so many compliments on this dress!! I was a bit nervous as it was tighter than I wanted and what I usually wear, but literally had people complimenting me on it all night. It's the right amount of classy/sophisticated with a little edge which I love. I ended up going with the 10L as it helped since I have a long torso and larger hips but a small waist. As I said, it is definitely fitted through the hips and the top was a little loose for me. I wore a padded backless bra which helped but I do wish the back didn't gap as much as it did. My husband really loved the way I looked in it too, so who knows I may rent it for another upcoming wedding!

Great Fit
I really liked this dress, I wore it to my sister's rehearsal dinner in October and it was a great color, darker for fall but had some shine and brightness to it with the blue. It was a perfect formal dress that was different than things I've worn before so it was great to switch it up. I'm a bit smaller in the top than my hips so it was a little larger on top, but the skirt was nice and full so I didn't feel constricted. It was a great length too which I was nervous about since I'm so tall. Definitely a great fit overall!
