Little black work dress

Love this dress for a work event! The pockets were great, and I thought the length & sleeves were very suitable for an evening work event.

SO beautiful and comfortable!!

This dress is beautifully cut in a heavy soft fabric. I loved the square neckline and easy draped waist. Fortunately, I found a balconette bra that didn’t show. The pockets were a huge bonus. They are positioned on the side and deep enough to carry a phone inconspicuously so I didn’t need to worry about carrying a small handbag. I choose a size 4 and 6 and sized down.

Amazing LBD

This dress is so good. Very pretty square cut back as well. Did not need to wear a bra because of the thick material and structure to the dress. Straps would have shown otherwise.

Beautiful silhouette and neckline!

Snug on the top — to hold up perfectly. Waist had a beautiful fit but my hips, while fitting inside, made the pockets flare slightly. Easily concealed by a belt.

Elegant!

This dress was new with tags. I just love it. But it did have a slight odd fit. It was fitting on the top, but was pretty loose along the body. If you angle your body like I did in the picture, you can see your curves, but other than that it kind of fits like a sack. Maybe it’s just a little bigger than TTS. I’m between a 0 and 00 so some things do fit on the bigger side for XS. Even so, do you be aware that the arms and shoulders are pretty snug compared to the body. I’m a 32B and there is still room at the top for a slightly bigger size, but maybe only by 1 cup. Still love it though! It’s so elegant and gorgeous.

A classic!

Adored this dress. I wore it to two memorials, it was classy and stylish and was perfect paired with pearls. Regarding fit, I should have sized down to a 0, I had 3+inches around my waist and hips. However, the larger fit kept this dress tasteful for mass and the funeral. If you want this to be sexy for a date night, size down so it hugs your curves. Oh! And there are pockets!!! Super bonus.

Wore it to a work Christmas Party. Got so many compliments and it fit perfectly. I felt like it felt falling off my shoulders and had to keep pulling it up, but other than it fit great.

The fit and fabric of this dress was divine! The thicker scuba-like fabric gave a high-quality and comfortable fit. I felt chic in the square neck and ankle length. Highly recommend!

…but I had to keep pulling down the dress because the pockets would bunch but it was perfect for a work black tie optional event. And it was comfortable with some stretch.

Simply elegant

I am typically a 2/4 The 2 fit, but still had room to spare and could likely have worn a 0. The dress was very comfortable and modest enough for a work fundraiser.

Elegant dress

This dress was perfect for a work gala event - elegant and formal. The thick fabric gave it structure and it was very flattering. The neckline has a built in sticky liner to help hold the dress on your chest and shoulders, but I still had to keep pulling up the sleeve. For petite girls, the square neckline is a little wide. I would still rent again.

A classic

I would love to own this dress. The shoulders and neckline are rubber lined so they don’t move around at all on your body. The pockets didn’t bother me like other reviews said, but I would order a 2 as a backup next time rather than the 6. Material was thick so no skims needed.

It has pockets!

I love how flattering the top is. It’s comfortable- a thick material with some stretch. Would work for all sorts of events. It’s pretty long- I’m tall and it’s just about to my ankles. While I couldn’t fill the pockets because they would look odd, I’m still happy they’re there. Would absolutely rent again!

Size down but very polished

Did not wear this dress but it was a strong contender for my company holiday party. If it had been slightly more fitted through the waist I’d wear it - I’d say size down at least 1 size.

I love pockets but they do make your hips look a bit wide

I have wide hips to begin with and the pockets sort of accentuate them, otherwise I like the dress. A little bit on the long side.

Super comfy, not flattering, runs big

Didn’t love, but it worked for a work event. Like other reviews stated, it widens in the hips and definitely makes you look larger in the waist than you are. Wouldn’t rent again. Just ok.

High Back Slit

If you have a long torso the slit my come dangerously high in the back. See pic 😱. I noticed it AS I was leaving the house and didn't have time to change. I did bend down once at the event and thankfully no one was behind me. Definitely worth wearing but be aware of the slit! the pockets also hit higher with a long torso. If you have a larger chest you might need to size up. I didn't wear a bra with this dress, it was not needed. (36C) I love the fit of ALC dresses though so I am cutting this dress some slack. I love the length. I am either an 8 and 10 in dresses and I wore the 8, If I had the 10 to try I may have gone with that.

So flattering!

I was so impressed by the quality and fit of this dress. I have broad shoulders so the arms were snug, but wearable for an evening. The fabric is HEAVY, but incredibly flattering. No shapewear needed and I felt confident the whole night. The cut at the waist is gorgeous, pockets did make it flare a bit at my hips but added to the hourglass look which worked for me.
