Wore to a welcome party for a wedding (dress code: "Cocktail/Festive"). Followed the conversions for Australian sizing and it fit perfectly. Just FYI the zipper get stuck easily and it is hard to do yourself with the way the shoulders are structured, so you will likely need someone to help you. Felt amazing in it, and got a ton of compliments. Would definitely rent again. Didn't have to wear a bra.

This dress fit like a glove , very true to size ! I loved not needing to wear a bra, the dress provides great support overall! I wanted to keep this one for sure ! Perfect for my ladies night out!

This stress was gorgeous! Thicker fabric but you could still move around in it. Color was stunning

Snug, but flattering! A little "too much" for my conservative hh but compliments from women galore. Fun for a dinner out!

Thick, warm, wore outside for an hour and it was 42 degrees. Not sure what the “not for big boobs” post is for. This is Australian designer. My Australian size is a 10. Bust is a 34F and I had no issues

The material is amazing! I wore it to an outdoor, February wedding, in SoCal, and I was perfectly warm the whole night. I received SO many compliments! Be warned it is NOT for busty girls. I’m a 36 A and didn’t need a bra (not that one would’ve fit under the dress anyway lol) but if my tatas were any larger, I’m not sure how they would’ve fit into the top of the dress.

Beautiful velvet feel, eye catching! I received a ton of compliments! Low neck like however the mid calf length balances it out.

I wore this for a Valentine’s symphony date. It fit in all the right places. The fabric was beautiful and forgiving. Would rent again.

This was sincerely the dress of my dreams. As soon as I had it zipped up I screamed because I never wanted to take it off. It was so flattering especially around the bust area (and I'm not the most blessed in that department IYKYK). The color was gorgeous, the sleeves gave it a fun pop and 80s vibe, and I didn't stop getting compliments all night. The fabric was more giving than I thought it would be and I never felt like a sausage which sometimes happens in more form-fitting dresses. I ordered my normal size and one up and ended up going with the larger one because the zipper was struggling around the waist seam and I got nervous; overall though I would say it's fairly true to size. It is a slightly heavier fabric so I would not recommend it for a warmer affair.

This piece is a showstopper. The velvet is luxurious and the color is very vibrant. Those sleeves, y’all! They are FULL, but in the best ways! Many compliments throughout the evening. I wore this to a New Year’s Eve dinner and party and it was an absolute HIT. The fabric is thick and perfect for a winter event. I stayed warm all night in the midst of a Wisconsin winter! Highly recommend.

This is one of those dresses that stands out in the most perfect way, especially during the holidays when it feels like everything is green, red or black. I was going for a sugarplum vibe and this dress did the exact trick; I wore it not just to our holiday party, but also to see the Nutcracker (outfit repeating is ok when the dress is this gorgeous). Fit my athletic bod with long arms very well and would definitely recommend!

fit so well. lots of compliments. great winter fabric

I'm debating on wearing this to a formal event in October but want to try on a few other things for comparison. Size up one (these are Australian sizing and I think they run smaller than US). The color is gorgeous and the sleeves are over the top. Really love this one. I am petite and it's nice that it still falls as a midi.

I ended up going with the larger size because if the boobs

Runs small so size up. Heavy fabric so wear in cooler weather.

Loved this dress for a winter wedding! It’s made of sturdy fabric and made me feel incredible. I did have to safety pin the back because it was gaping and felt like it might fall off. The other note was the front of the dress isn’t sown together - the cross crossing pieces are just attached at the ends so it can open up and expose you if it’s not fitted properly. Nothing that would prevent me from renting but it did take some work to get it just right!

I was worried this dress wouldn’t work for my pear shape, but I sized up and it fit perfectly (I usually rent a 0 in American sizing; I got a 10 in this Australian sizing, which is a US 6). It was warm and comfortable enough to dance in all night. I got so many complements!

I absolutely loved this dress and got so many compliments on it. Great for cold weather as it’s velvet and quite thick. Color is amazing. It does run very very small though. My usual size wasn’t even close to zipping up. Highly recommend ordering up a size or two. Otherwise everything was perfect. One of my favorite dresses of all time.

Perfect fit and kept me warm, so many compliments- a must rent!

So many compliments and it photographs well! It's a bit thick so perfect for a cold weather event. Also a bit tight on the chest but fit me well b/c I'm not busty.


I was so excited to wear this dress! The fabric is a heavy velvet, and it doesn’t have much give. If you have a large chest, unfortunately this dress won’t fit. I ordered the AU size [X] and [X]. I ended up wearing the smaller size. I normally wear a US 4. The zipper sticks halfway when zipping it up (both dresses. I believe it’s the seam). But it’s not a big deal. I had a million compliments on the color and the style. It was an amazing dress!

Super cute and comfortable. It wrinkles SO easily! Other than that I loved it.

Warm dress for a late September coasts Maine wedding but perfect for dancing in the outdoor tent. Great color and fit. I am pear shaped and it hugged my curves well.

Fit good. Not very fupa friendly tho ;-)

The dress was amazing! Beautiful color and style. The size 6 would have fit my waist perfectly but there is absolutely no allowance for breasts (I'm a B cup). I had to go with the size 8 so it would fit over my chest at the expense of a looser fit on my waist. It was still really tight on my breasts though. Overall, I was really happy with my choice and got a ton of compliments!

Flattering and very high quality. Color is absolutely beautiful in person. Sleeves so stylish and pretty!
This dress is beautiful! The fabric is deluxe, super fun sleeves, I loved the little cut out even though I usually would avoid those. It was a bit large in the shoulders but I was able to hide that with my hair down.
Beautiful dress very comfortable fits perfect to size
This dress is a statement and it was perfect for a formal winter wedding in Maine. Material is thick (like a curtain) and style is so fun. Would wear again on repeat!
The fabric on this dress is so much prettier than the pictures show! It is a thick velvet with shine. I am 5'7" 150 lb, usually a sz 6. Based on the other reviews, I sized up for my backup size and ended up wearing the sz 12. It is definitely tighter in the arms and I had limited range of motion in my arms but the thicker fabric was perfect for an outdoor Colorado wedding in September. I got many compliments--such a beautiful dress!
I went to an opera. Going to the event and wearing this dress made my whole week. I felt phenomenal. I wish I could buy it in my size!!
I wanted to like this so badly. It is super duper heavy and thick. It almost feels like you are wearing a carpet. I could not get the arms on correctly or all the way zipped up. You need help with it. If you are like me and get overly hot it would not be a good fit.
Its pretty, I like the design and the dress. The material is a bit heavy for summer and its a bit large
My arms are big… Couldn’t get them through the sleeves :-(
Nice color. Very heavy. Wide shoulder & narrow waist. Weird fit. Will not wear.
