stunning fit

it was so flattering and a good fit if you have a larger chest. was hard to wear a strapless bra, it showed out the top the way the back is cut, made it work with boob tape. Size up too!

Great black tie!

Very cute! I'm usually between 4/6 and am glad I went with the 6. 4 would've been too small in the waist I think.

Great and versatile dress!

This dress was perfect for a “cowboy formal” wedding. The rope belt accent made it pair well with cowboy boots. Would be equally wonderful with formal shoes.

Wore my backup size for a more fitted look

It fit really well but needed two people to help zip me up in the back but otherwise was super comfortable. The dress in the size I ordered originally had boning sticking out so another reason for me not to wear that one.

So flattering!

I didn’t get a photo that showed the full length, but I got so many compliments. Only downside is that it didn’t stay well at my breasts. I had to pull it up a lot, but it might be because I’m small breasted. It was very flattering!

Elegant & Simple

Beautiful dress, fit perfectly and did not have to keep pulling it up throughout the night like with some strapless dresses. Length was also fine for me at 5’4” with the regular length, but I did have on 4” (non-platform) heels. Would recommend!

Loved but top runs big

Gorgeous, classy dress that was perfect for my formal awards event. The fit was great besides the top, which was quite large and I had to use fashion tape to keep it up. Otherwise loved the dress and got many compliments on it. Length was perfect for my at my 5’9” height with heels

So many compliments; pictures do not do it justice

I normally wear a size medium/6-8 in regular clothes and a size 10 in dresses, but I wore the size 12 and it fit like a glove. I am 5'4", 160 lbs, 36C. Strapless slips a bit, but no surprises there. Dress was long - I wore 4-1/2 inch heels and needed them. Great quality, so pretty in person.

All. The. Yes.

The perfect little black dress. The subtle glam of this dress makes for a perfect showstopper. The fabric is the perfect combination of structure with a little bit of stretch. Would highly recommend this for any formal occasion.

Perfect Fit

For it being a strapless dress, I didn’t at all feel like I had to keep pulling it up. I had to wear pretty tall heels, and it came to the floor, but since it’s black you don’t have to worry about stains getting on the bottom. The slit in the middle makes it easy to walk.

Cannot recommend this dress enough! I recommend my other short ladies get the petite length sizing for this, but I wore the regular length with high heels and was fine.

Looked and felt great! A little big in the chest.

I felt like a million bucks in this dress for a New Year’s Eve wedding. It was loose in the chest, but nothing a little tape couldn’t take care of.

Mixed review

My original size was I guess you could consider it was to small. But with some good shape wear it could've worked. So I sized up and it worked out. The top was slightly loose. I tried wearing a bra to fill the space but it didn't work out with the boning of the dress. Also... If you like to move around on the dance floor it tends to be a little bit of a tripping hazard. I didn't mind the way the dress worked out for me, just wanted to point out some things.

Classic, but way too long

Loved this dress and that it came in petite sizes. Only the 2P was available, so got the 0R as the backup. Wore the 0R. Both dresses were about 4-6 inches too long - even with 4” heels! I had to use fabric tape and that worked. Would buy and have altered for a perfect fit. Classic and flattering look.

Beautiful but just a bit off

It fit perfectly except the chest which was too big - and for reference I wear a 34 G. Nothing is ever too big for me there lol. It stayed up but I was pulling it all night. It looked great tho and I got a compliment from the catering staff so you know it was real 😂

Tight

Was very tight and highlighted my stomach area, no stretch and the attached belt detail makes it even tighter on the waste - also a bit long for 5’2”, you’d need to wear 2-3” heels
