1920s-ish

Great midi dress for a party! I needed a 1920s era dress for a wedding shower, and I didn’t feel like buying a fringe dress on Amazon. The color and velvet were perfect for a chilly spring day, and paired with accessories I think it fit the bill without being too costume-y. I’m 5’10” and it fell just below the knee. Ended up wearing pasties to avoid having to pin a bra strap. Would recommend.

Beautiful & Comfortable!

This fit true to size. Has give to the fabric and the tie in the back also helps. It was so comfortable and more beautiful in person. I got lots of compliments. You can wear a regular bra but it's a little hard with the back opening so I did wear a strapless so I didn't have to worry about it. I would rent this over and over again.

Great material and fit

I'm the definition of pear shape, small on top and much wider hips. This dress fit perfectly, I ordered the size that matched my upper body measurements and the skirt was flowy enough to comfortably fit my hips. The sleeves were almost too tight, something to consider. The crushed velvet material was very pretty and received many compliments. I danced for hours at a holiday party and enjoyed the open back because it was flirty and helped me not overheat.

Absolutely LOVED this dress. Perfect for a fall wedding. Comfortable, beautiful fit.

Would recommend a low back bra because I was adjusting mine all night cut overall no complaints about this dress. So many compliments.

Cute, comfy, flowy and soft

I wore this to a wedding rehearsal dinner and it was perfect! I usually wear an 8 but this had so much give I wore the 6 and thought it felt flowy. Even though the back is open, it is still high enough to wear a strapless bra which was a nice surprise lol. I only wore this for a few hours so not sure if it might get hot since it’s velvet but for this event I thought it was comfy and I had no complaints!

I wore this dress to my sister's early fall mountainside ceremony and it could not have been a better choice. This dress was flattering and comfortable - the perfect wedding guest dress!

Pretty velvet!

This color is beautiful in person and although I think the pictures look great it still doesn’t do it Justice! The back is very dramatic with the tie and open back but not too low and very comfortable. I did wear shape wear and it is form hugging but the fabric stretches alot, so very comfortable. I am short so it isn’t my favorite length (mid-calf) but looks elevated with heels. Received lots of compliments!

Gorgeous and unique

When I saw this dress I got 80’s prom dress reimagined vibes and it delivered. So comfy and fit like a dream. I loved the velvet fabric that seemed to shine. A truly great, bold option

Sooooo Pretty

I wore this to a cocktail-attire school fundraiser event. I adore the dress so much and received many compliments. I usually wear size 8 but size 6 fit me much better, maybe because there is a stretch to the dress? The color and velvet material were stunning. The length was cute as I didn’t think it was too long or too short. The only con I would add is that the back was a little loose (even with a smaller size) so I had to use fashion tape to secure it to my bra so that my bra wouldn’t show. Other than that, I loved the dress and would rent and recommend it again and again!

Loved this dress it was so comfortable and received a ton of compliments. Wore it to an adult prom where we did a pretty in pink theme. I wanted to keep it but logically knew my chances to wear it again were low.

Wanted to love it, too long

The color and back details of this velvet dress are so cute, but it’s like 4 inches too long. I hated that it came so far below the knee. Why why why would they do that.

Really cute dress, I think maybe I was just a touch short for this style to be the most flattering (would be better for someone slightly taller).

Beautiful Party Dress

This crushed velvet fabric is to die for!! All my friends just had to run their hands on it. Tie back straps make it adjustable and it easily hides a normal bra without any issues on the back.

Fits like sheath dress

The picture looks like a bit of a more flattering drape, but it fits like a work-style sheath dress. Back cut out is really cute and length and stretch fit great on a size 16 with large bust. I didn’t end up wearing it because it was an outfoor summer event, but will reorder for a winter event!

I wore this for a wedding I was in and it was perfect! I got tons of compliments. It was perfect for a ceremony outside a spring day with a bit of chill but also for indoor dancing. If you’re between sizes, size down.

So pretty and nice fit

This was so fun. Nice to have a party dress that isn’t matronly but also isn’t cut low showing a ton of cleavage, which always makes me uncomfortable. I was concerned about the back being cut so low you could see a bra, cause it’s all droopy on the model. That was not the case. (I’m so bad at getting photos) but my fit was similar to other high rating reviews. The back was straight across allowing me to wear a regular bra. It wasn’t tight at all and skirt was flattering. All in all really cute and fun and comfy. I recommend it and might rent again for the right occasion!

Comfortable and flattering

I needed a dress for a holiday work party. I was intrigued by the velvet but wasn't sure how flattering the material or puffy sleeves would be. I tried it on and loved it! The material is thick, the waist hits in the right place with some extra room in the hips, and the sleeves add a little extra shape to the dress. The opening in the back was fun but still allowed me to wear a regular bra. Would definitely recommend this for a winter event.

Such a comfortable dress. It is tea length. I did have to wear some spandex with it to make it smooth in the midsection. Has just enough shimmer. Color was great for a winter party. Got lots of compliments! Wish I took a full length picture!

Speechless

Absolutely gorgeous. The fabric and color are unreal. It was so so comfy and stretchy too! I am usually a 2 or 4 and the 2 for better for me so this dress might run on the smaller side.
