Perfect for summer!

Such a comfy and flattering dress I ended up buying it! As a tall woman it was a good length and great for summer.

Fun, breezy black dress

Fits true to size- not too short and the cutout is so cute! It was hot out but the fabric was breezy!

Summery but neutral

I was nervous the rows of frills wouldn’t be flattering but it’s a chic dress perfect for a vacation!

Super comfortable!! Long sleeve but light enough material for an event outside

Loved the fit of this. A casual style but with an elevated look. So many compliments. 10/10 recommend and might have to purchase this one for myself!!

SO Cute! But takes work in the breast area…

I rented this for a Fall cocktail wedding but decided not to wear it. The pros: the dress has a little pouf to it around the bum so gives an hourglass shape to anyone who doesn’t normally have it. The waist is stretchy so I could easily wear a Small or Medium. The length was absolutely perfect for my 5’8 frame. It showed legs but I could bend over and dance without causing a scene. I would totally rent again for a date night or vacation. I like how the Small size fit my bottom half but I needed a Medium for the top of half. I have natural D cup so the girls don’t stay put without a sticky bra or boob tape, which is fine but just takes extra work to keep them in and I couldn’t do this dress with a normal bra. In this photo I have a Boomba sticky bra on. The one downside for me is the string that ties under the breasts and essentially keeps them “in”. It’s a very thin, zero stretch string that was incredibly difficult to tie tightly. I would have been worried it would break. And a loose tie just wouldn’t have looked great on me unless I really taped my boobs perfectly. Overall I would rent again for the right occasion, and I’d just have to be prepared with the proper breast accessories! P.S. I think more ladies should rock this dress with cowboy boots.

Too heavy for warmer temperatures

This is big on me but that’s because I sized up to a medium. I thought I’d need it for the 32DDDs but if anything I probably could have sized down to get the snug/supportive fit I needed for such a low cut top. Smaller or more perky breasts are best. Boob tape would have helped me, but the rest of the dress didn’t work for me so not worth it. The fabric is too thick & stiff so the tiers of the skirt are bulky. I feel the long sleeves are a poor choice. It looks like a summer dress but it’s lined & way too heavy for anything over 70 degrees. Might work for someone with a straight/narrow build to add more curves.

Great

Not super breathable on top of it being black in the sun but eyelet helps keep it cool and it’s not tight on the bottom. Lots of compliments and I felt great in it. Would wear again!
