I didn’t end up wearing this dress, because it was much too long even with a high heel (I’m 5’3”). Also. The fabric is a bit bulky so I would only recommend this dress to people who are tall and have a decently long torso.

This was a great dress for a formal wedding. So comfortable, fabric is stretchy and thick enough to lay nicely. The petite length was perfect on me (I’m 5’3”) with a short heel. There was sticky tape on the sleeves so those stayed up flawlessly. Highly recommend this dress.

Wore this to my company holiday party, the long sleeves were great in the winter. I wore the smaller size that I ordered, and it fit great. I have a small chest and had no problem with any excess material in that area. Very comfortable, would definitely recommend this dress. It is low key, but the lace gives it a little something more than just a standard black dress. You do need to wear a strapless bra.

This is a great dress. I wore it to a formal wedding and received several compliments from other guests. The gold accents are very flattering to your curves and your waist. I was able to wear a normal bra, and also wore spanx under to ensure smooth lines. The petite length was perfect for me at 5'3" with 2 inch heels. It's very comfortable to dance and sit in. My only tiny complaint was that it tended to shift around my body throughout the night, so I had to adjust it back around. I would definitely rent this dress again, even though it was my second choice after my first choice was unavailable.
