Comfortable and fit great

I was the professional photographer for the United States of America Pageant nation competition and needed to dress up for the event, but I also needed to comfortable and be able to move around while working. This dress was perfect for that. It looked elegant, was a great fit that was super flattering and was easy to work in. I got several compliments and would definitely either rent this again or purchase it to keep. I would HIGHLY recommend this dress!

Gorgeous Dress

I rented this dress for a Black Tie affair and it was perfect! I ordered the 6R with the 4R as a back up. I ended up wearing the size 4, and it still had a little room to give, but in a flattering way. This dress was comfortable and I felt beautiful in it. I definitely recommend!

Super flattering

I have a size AA chest but wide hips and this dress fit tightly in all the right places. The drape was very beautiful and flattering, and the material was thick and looked elegant and expensive. It was also comfortable.

Bridesmaid dress

Beautiful well made dress. Great quality, very comfortable and very flattering. I was 1 month postpartum here and the dress felt great. It accentuates the belly area a bit but I didn’t feel fat at all. I would definitely recommend this dress.

Perfect fit

I am about 132 pounds normally wear size 4 to 6, and I got a size 2 in this dress. I would definitely size down. This dress fits amazing and perfect. One small downside is that it is a thick and heavy dress, but I just love the way it looked. It fit like a glove. Highly recommended

Fit beautifully, very comfortable. Petite Women will have to wear heels.

Love this dress! Fabric was very comfortable. I'm fairly short at 5'3 and was wearing about 3 inch heels and the dress was still barely touching the ground. Had no problems walking in it. Busty ladies might want to be careful with the neckline if you're night involves dancing but I was easily able to wear a bra with this.

Fitting was classic, fabric was cool to body and allowed me dance away the night. me

Style and fit were liberating! I am 6 feet tall and the length was perfect with at at least a 4 inch heel.

perfect glamorous black dress

I wore this to a friend's outdoor wedding in September in the Outer Banks. It was the prettiest I've ever felt - I loved the draping of the fabric, it highlighted all my assets and was very comfortable. I felt like a celebrity all night! Would rent this over and over again.

Makes your bust look AMAZING

This dress was so flattering - the drape, the neckline, the comfortable fabric! Nice thick stretch material, and the high back means you can wear a bra - I wish I owned this dress! A heads up to my fellow short folks; it’s a bit long in the front if you’re under 5’3” (even with moderate heels) so you may want taller shoes or to pin up that front hemline a bit. I didn’t bother, just lifted it when going up and down stairs.

Loved it! Fit my curves perfectly and was so comfortable!

I wore this to a gala work event and was so comfortable and happy the whole time. It was a extremely good quality gown that was definitely well made. My girls were a bit prominent but I also didn’t feel like it was an inappropriate amount.

Timeless, classy, and sexy!

I was unsure about this dress when I saw it online. I was afraid it would be too boring or matronly for the black-tie wedding I was attending. I'm SO glad I went ahead and ordered it. I've never felt more elegant in a dress before. It fit perfectly and was made from a thick but comfortable material that felt expensive and hung beautifully on my frame. I typically wear a 0/2 and ordered both. The 0 fit perfectly!

Stunning, very flattering dress!

Absolutely LOVED this dress! Definitely a tight, secure fit, but that is a plus in the cleavage area. Was just a little tight, as I typically wear a 12-14 on here. A little tough to get the zipper up where the fabric changes, so requires an extra set of hands, but I received a TON of compliments and would love to wear this dress again!

Comfortable, chic and curvy girl friendly.

So for me this was the perfect dress to change into while working a wedding for a dear friend when I only had 5 minutes to change. The dress really was a statement piece by itself. The only thing (and trust me I was surprised given how I have been eating lately) was that for me the dress was a little too big so I could have gone a size smaller. Overall, I loved it and I got plenty of compliments.

Stunning and flattering

This dress was flattering and even though I am small chested, I never felt self- conscious about the low cut neckline. The ruching is very forgiving for someone with a bit of a tummy. The satiny fabric was so elegant and while the dress was heavy it was not uncomfortable to wear. I felt very elegant. Sizing was perfect

The dress definitely made this night for me.

I wore this dress to a black-tie gala and I received a lot of comments. I think I could have gotten a smaller size but it wouldn't have made a big difference as the dress fit very well. I wore the dress for about 9 hours and it was very comfortable. I'm 5'9 and the dress was the perfect length even with my two-inch heels.

Fabulous! Perfect dress!!!

This was my first rental and it was a hit. Rented it for a formal event and it was a dream. The dress was a bit loose and think I should have sized down to a 8. The fabric was thick and forgiving and I didn't even have to wear shapewear with it. Felt sexy and elegant. Got so many compliments.

Stunning and comfortable!

This head turning gown emphasizes and smooths all the right parts with a thick luxurious material, just the right amount of side leg exposure, and a flattering (not overly revealing) neckline. You can wear a real bra under this one, which makes for a comfortable fit that lasts through long events and allows for dance moves too risky for strapless dresses (no popping out of this dress!). At 5'2", I wore my 5" wedges to bring the length to just above the floor. Loved this dress so much that I've rented it twice!

Solid black formal dress

I ordered this dress to wear to a black tie optional wedding in the fall and I didn't end up wearing it but it was a great option. The material is on the thicker side that you get with nicer dresses but it's stretchy which makes it more comfortable and form fitting. I don't have a bra on in the picture but for peace of mind I probably would've worn pasties with it. Highly recommend

Loved this dress!!! I have a hard time finding something that fits nicely, that’s comfortable, and makes me feel confident. This dress was all the above!! Highly recommend for curvy girls like me. BTW-I also shy away from long dresses, so if you’re on the fence, give this one a try.

LOVED It

I wore this to a wedding I was performing in. The length: Im 5'3" & wore flats. Since the hem is asymmetrical, it felt easy to walk & not trip. The material feel substantial BUT not too heavy. It'd be great for any season. The straps were a lil long because I have a short torso. So, I wore a bra with lace detail & it looked part of the design. The ruching concealed my midsection nicely. I didn't feel like I "HAD" to wear spanx. I got complimented a lot. It helped me feel classy & sexy. Plus, the back goes all the way up. No need to find a special bra. I highly recommend renting!!!

Beautiful Dress!

I’m curvy with big hips, big thighs, and big arms/shoulders. I wanted a dress that would be forgiving but fun, and not too revealing. I wore this to a black tie event and loved it! It was very comfortable and flattering - and I was able to wear an actual BRA with it! I love the bunching on one side - it gave it an extra fun flair. Highly recommend this if you’re looking for formal but comfortable and fun! FYI - though the dress fit me well, the straps and top were loose, so I wore a bra with it which gave me that extra support and confidence. The straps didn’t move too much at all (I did a dance test!)

A CLASSY comfy dress

So everyone’s reviews are spot on- it’s a thicker fabric but not necessarily hot to wear. The fabric is stretchy so I did have a little fear of it sliding down a TINY BIT. I put fashion tape under the armpit for extra security. You can also easily wear a normal bra with this and not worry about it showing. The 2 fit great overall. The dress just touched the ground when I wore 3 inch heels. Everyone LOVED this dress!!! Definitely would rent again
