Stunning!

I was nervous about sitting and dancing in this dress because of the cutout, but it was so easy to wear. Tough to get into but easy to wear! It was a great length even though I'm short, and fit well throughout. I did size up 1 size from my usual. I would definitely recommend this one!

Stylish dress

I’m glad this dress had the petite option. I’m 5’3” and the dress just hit above the ground. I wore kitten heels (1”). I have an athletic build - bigger bottom, extra small top. The 2P fit good, but not great. It fit just right in the bottom with no room to give and loose on the top. The 4P was just a little loose overall but I felt more comfortable in it, so I went for it. I received tons of compliments all night. It was worn for a city wedding and it was perfect for the setting.

Loved it!

I've rented a few Et Ochs dresses this year and I really feel they are experts at dressing a woman's body in a flattering, unique and understated sexy way. I felt great in this dress. As others have mentioned a little tricky to figure out putting on, but easy enough to figure out.

Great for black tie wedding or any formal event

This dress fit like a glove! It’s sexy without being too revealing and I loved the cut. Might be a bit short for taller people though as I’m 5’6, wore heals and it was slightly above floor length

Such a statement piece

I love everything about this dress. Slipping it on and clicking the buttons on the dress was time-consuming but once it's on, it's to die for. The structured top really elevates this dress. I love the drapes across the neckline. The cut-out is really what makes it sexy, just enough peek-a-boo without showing too much skin. I rented the size 8 and 10 since there's absolutely no stretch, but the fabric shapes to your body and lays perfectly around the hip and but area. I wore this to my fashion cocktail dinner.

Would size just one size up from what I normally wear, but I got compliments all night! The long option for being tall was super amazing.

Subtle Showstopper

I had a double mastectomy with a flat closure (BC survivor) and was looking for a dress to wear as a wedding guest. I got compliments on this dress ALL night long, and my flat chest wasn't a statement, which I loved. The leg slit is sexy yet not scandalous, and the asymmetrical top half was gorgeous. I didn't realize it had a "cowl neck" bunch of material on the "poncho" top which is really cute. The side waist peekaboo skin can be played with a bit depending on how you choose to wear it. I am about 150lb, 5'7" and the size 8 looked like it was made for me, but it couldn't have been even a cm smaller or it would have been too tight. It was comfortably form-fitting. All of this today, RENT THIS DRESS if you're looking to be a "subtle showstopper." All the women wearing plunging necklines, bright colors and sequins were complimenting ME! It was a lot of fun lol!!

Loved wearing this dress. Felt confident and comfortable all night. Was worried about the cutout and slit being too much but it was classy and perfectly done. Is a thicker fabric but the dress is breathable. 10/10 recommend

Classy + Sexy

I wore this to cocktails at a Michelin star restaurant followed by a black tie benefit dinner and it was the absolutely perfect look. I’ve gained a little weight so I probably should have gone up a size, but thank god it had just enough stretch that I could make it work. I received many compliments and felt like a million bucks

Classy with a little bit of sass

I absolutely loved this dress! The fit was perfectly for my body type/ shape. Just a tad long since in 5’1, but I wore low heels. Received lots of compliments and felt beautiful in it! I agree with other reviews that it’s a bit confusing to get on, but once you get that right you’re good to go.

Chic + Comfortable

As a breastfeeding mom I felt so comfortable and secure in this dress. I wore the 10 to accommodate my chest because I couldn’t zip the very top of the 8, but loved how the rest of the dress ended up hanging on me. Got compliments all night. Only thing is I couldn’t lift my arms all the way up while dancing but tbh that was probably for the best.

Would Rent Again

Maybe in size 2 petite next time if it is available. I rented size 0, it was a bit long when I was going up stairs, but otherwise the length didn't bother me too much. I wore this dress to perform in an orchestra. I thought it looked good but the cut was a bit high (showing a bit too much of my thigh), thankfully I sat in the back of the orchestra. The first time wearing this dress does take a little bit more time than usual due to unfamiliarity with the layers. It was totally worth it though, I thought the shape was so modern and flattering.

Perfect Wedding Guest Dress

This was pretty tricky to get into the first time. Once I got it on, it was almost perfect. I have a short torso, so there was some extra fabric, but the top overhanging part covered it well and it wasn't a problem. The zipper on the hip was slightly tight, but once it was on, it was comfortable.

Love

This dress is amazing. The hips were a bit tight but not terribly so- it's one of those will look amazing standing but sitting may feel tighter. I loved how chic the dress felt with the top and small side exposure. I thought I'd feel awkward showing skin in that area but it was really nice.

Get this dress!

Ok, so I had 3 styles to choose from for a wedding. I tried this dress on and loved it! I didn’t wear it because 1 of the other dresses was better for my husband and I’s coordination. So hard to not wear it. But it fit perfectly and it’s a gorgeous dress. I’m 5’11 so it’s tall girl friendly.

Amazing, I’m keeping it

Literally got so many compliments. So unique and flattering. Feminine, but also neutral, clean lines, modest but sexy, sophisticated, ancient meets modern meets future, Deconstructed sari vibes. Excellent for mom bods. Went to my fellowship graduation to face a room full of snakes that made my life hell for two years and I felt so powerful wearing these with my Rockstud pumps. Literally everyone came up to make after to congratulate and compliment me, and I am pretty sure it was because they were mesmerized by the dress. My husband was so enamored he was like f it, yeah it’s expensive but keep it.

This rental came new with tags on. The 4 fit like a glove and it was stunning. Unfortunately, it's way to fancy for the event I rented it for. I will definitely keep it on my list of future rentals.
