Rent this one - it's so flattering!

The fit was true to size, felt amazing to wear with soft fabric and very forgiving draping. Such a great dress.

I received tons of compliments on this dress! The material is thin but doesn’t feel cheap. I didn’t need to wear a bra but wore pasties. Loved it!

Black Tie Wedding in Virginia

I wore this with a little coat that had open arms to an outdoor black tie wedding in Virginia. It had great chest coverage and the slit added a little. It is very soft and thin material.

Recommend - 9 / 10

Despite it not being flattering for my apple shape, I loved it! Thin silky material, lovely pattern. Don't remember if the straps were adjustable or not, but I did wear a safety pin for extra support.

Fabulous!

I felt so fabulous in this dress! It hugged in the right places, not tight at all! There is a piece of fabric in the chest area that hides the bra/cleavage. I never felt exposed. The material is high quality. Received lots of compliments!

I ended up wearing a different dress but I still really liked this one- the material is light and the ruching is forgiving even though it’s form fitting. I would rent this again

Perfect for black tie optional wedding!

I am a true size 4 and this fit perfectly! I would say if you are much bigger than a small C cup it may be right in the top. Plus hard to wear a bra so just some stick ons and tape!

Comfortable, lightweight

Good for warm/tropical weather for April in Cancun. Comfortable and fits TTS, material has no stretch at all. I wore heels and the length was good, but if I had worn flats it wouldn’t have dragged on the floor, so definitely get the long size if you’re tall

I am a smaller bra size and the front draped too low. I used fashion tape to shape the top to be less revealing. Overall really liked it.

Loved it!

I was surprised how great this dress looked and fit! I ended up with a size smaller than I usually wear based on everyone’s reviews. The front drape was a little too revealing but a little clothing tape worked perfectly! It was very comfortable and I got so many compliments. I wore heels with it for the wedding and switched to flats for the dancing. The length worked well for both.

Beautiful dress!

Thin material (need some kind of nude undergarments so they don’t show through). Also VERY long! Straps kept falling off, but otherwise a very comfortable and beautiful dress, got compliments all night. Would recommend this dress for tall ladies

Fit really well and given the diagonal cut I can see it fitting many shapes really well. Shoulder straps did fall often, or else I would have given this 5 stars

Easy to wear!

The material is VERY light but not sheer, just no structure. Gorgeous pattern. It’s literally like a slip. The ruching in the midsection is flattering, but the neckline might require a little adjusting because it a cowl neck if you’re self-conscious about that sort of thing.

Flattering overall, loose on top

Loved the look, good fit and length. Only issue was the top. I am a 38c but breastfeeding currently so might be more in the D range and this was still large. I wish there were adjustable straps. Have some fashion tape on hand or you may have a Janet Jackson moment. I probably could have sized down to a 10. Like I said I recently had a baby so I was unsure what size to get. Wore to a wedding and overall was a great look.

Pre-Wedding Beach Party in Italy

This dress is incredibly light and comfortable, but it's somewhat see-through, and the straps are too long, often falling. I had to use some tape to keep my strapless bra from showing.

Gala glam

Slightly underwhelmed by this Donna Karan number I rented for a formal event held at a museum. The print was nice and it fit well, but there was nothing especially unique or remarkable about it, IMO. There is no slit, so walking/stride was a bit restricted in this dress. Overall, it served its purpose but I wouldn’t rent it again.

This is a stunner. I love how it covered the ladies because I was in a professional environment at a gala. I did wear shaper underneath because it is a structured sheath. Styled with a gold jacket and nude shoes.

Perfect for Black Tie

I loved the look of this dress and thought it was flattering in all pictures. It's pretty long and was just short of the floor with some short heels. The only thing I would note is that the fabric is very thin.
