Wedding Guest comfort + grace

This dress was incredibly comfortable, easy to wear, and I got lots of compliments. Stretchy enough to enjoy dinner, draping is elegant and easy to dance in. Loved it !

So comfortable

Rented the 6R and 4R while they looked like the same dress on the 4R was a bit tighter through my hips. The fabric of the dress makes it feel like it was well made. The slit was a nice touch and I received a lot of compliments. The color is so pretty in person. I would purchase this dress and wear again!

Super comfortable and pretty

Loved how it felt! Super soft. Stretchy. 8 weeks postpartum so I felt like I needed the ruched midsection. Also had no idea what size I would need. Probably would’ve looked better in a 12, but I wanted it to be tight. I probably also would’ve looked better in the navy dress I got, but this event you’re supposed to wear purple.

Beautiful and comfortable!

I would get one in every color. The material is thick, but not hot. The ruching was perfect. I loved it. It was so forgiving and stretchy.

Super flattering and comfortable

I had a black tie wedding and ended up going with a different dress, but I would have been more than happy to wear this one. The material was thick and flattering, and the slit was a nice statement without being too much.

Fun formal purple!

Really loved the fit + style of this dress for a formal wedding. Fabric is a bit thicker than I had anticipated but I felt really comfortable — the 4P was on the shorter side but still worked with low heels.

Great black tie option

Worn to a black tie summer wedding. Worn at 5 months pregnant. Dress has some stretch which let me wear it while being pregnant. Comfortable and beautiful color. Sized up to accommodate belly.

Fabulous dress

This dress is perfect and elegant. It does not wrinkle and it’s easy to move and dance in. The only thing negative I could say is it does show sweat stains if you’re a big sweater. I’m really not but noticed under the arms this material did show a little. Lots of compliments and would rent again. Wore a size 2L and I’m normally a 2-4 so it fits true to size.

Dress is true to size and fitted well. I am 5'6" and 130 lbs and 60 yo.

Slit is very sexy but not too high. Definitely needed Spanx, because the dress is fitted. The dress was perfect for a black tie optional wedding. It is somewhat heavy, but once on, felt fine.

I had to get a size 0 even though a 2 would have been better. It was a bit tight on me but that was my fault. So many compliments. Amazing color.

Great fabric flattering fit

I am normally a 0/2 but have a large bust. This dress was very flattering and I received multiple compliments. I loved that it fit my bust while not being too big in the hips. The fabric is somewhat thick so no worry over lines and bumps. Great stretch. Slit is pretty high but I found it to be flattering not risqué. Would totally wear again. Loved it! Went with the 2 which was pretty form fitting so maybe size up if you have bigger hips.

Perfect for a spring/summer formal wedding. Drapes beautifully. Shows underwear lines and has a somewhat high slit so shape wear was a no-go. Very comfortable otherwise and such a fun color.

Perfect for wedding, thick, comfortable

Just perfect for a wedding! The material is thick and drapes beautifully, but wasn’t too warm for a day in the 80s. I’m 5’ 7” and appreciated the L length with 3” heels. Could have done regular length too I’m sure for a slightly shorter look. Stomach showed slightly at some angles… I didn’t wear spanx but maybe consider. Was comfortable to dance in for all those breaking it out on the dance floor!

A bit big

Just okay for me. Didn’t feel super hot and fancy at a black tie wedding. Overall good pick for not knowing anyone there, but like something that shows off figure a bit more. Slightly long but okay.

So many compliments!

This dress was beautiful. The material was thick but still worked well for an outdoor wedding in FL during the summer. The dress barely touched the floor and was perfect with small heels. The slit was great height.

Really pretty but didn’t work out

My dress size really depends on the fabric. My waist and hips are an 8 but my bust is usually a 10. This dress fit perfectly in my waist and hips and the petite was the perfect length but the top bunched weirdly because my bust is too big. A 10 petite would have been perfect but not available and the 10 regular was too long even with heels.
