Fun 70s vibe

Loved wearing this dress, but it was kind of hard to find shoes that looked right with it. It might look great with boots, but it just wasn't cold enough for them yet. I was in between sizes and I might've been able to get away with a small but that might've been too small on the hips

70’s Elegance

Very “1974 American Heiress in Venice.” Fabric is silky but not too thin. Open back was tricky because even as a 36B I needed breast lift tape because of the fabric & fit. I am 5’8 130 with broad shoulders and I think a medium would have fit better. I don’t get the feeling this dress is supposed to fit super close to the body. It’s really lovely.

STUNNING and beautiful dress.

I believe it is intended to be worn as a formal gown but I think you could dress it down and wear to dinner/date etc. I would size down if you want it a bit tighter but I loved it!

Super swanky open back svelte perfection

Loved this dress. So comfy, so chic. Would rent again, would consider buying. The pockets are a great touch. The open back perfect. Wore to art galleries where the artists said "that's incredible." A great dress.

Perfect Statement Dress

I wore this dress for fashion week events in Barcelona and it was incredible. It was so comfortable and definitely made a statement. Got so many compliments and seriously considered buying it after! I didn’t wear a bra due to the open back but there’s a lining to help prevent any indecent exposure.

Comfy and Chic

Perfect to dress up or down! I am 5'9 and ordered a size Small. If you are a bit taller and have broad shoulders like me I'd suggest sizing up to a Medium! (If I ever reorder I will do a Medium) Totally comfortable. Received compliments ALL day.

Amazing dress. Really long

I absolutely loved this dress but wore it for an occasion at home because it was so long there was no way for me to wear it out. Fits perfectly in the L for a standard size 12. If you are a bit taller - like 5’5” or above this would work. It’s not for short people!

Great piece!

Love the length and the effortless looseness of the fabric on the body. The dress doesn’t cling to curves, but is still flattering if you’re curvy. I have a large chest and the fabric didn’t feel constricted at the bust or the arms. I did not feel comfortable to go bra-less with the open back, so I layered the dress under a blazer for work or leather jacket for every day wear. Also, the dress has pockets!

Wide hips beware

I wanted to love this dress for a fall wedding. But WHY did La Double J need to sew pockets right where your hips land on this dress? I felt like the dress made me look wider than I need to be.

So many compliments

Fits great though if you're bigger in the bust you'll need boob tape--it's backless, and wearing a bra would ruin the look.

Worth wearing the heels, Spanx, and boob tape

I got this dress knowing that at 5'4" and 32G, this would take some work to look good on me. This dress was actually worth all that effort. The colors and print are unique, and the back cut out is stunning. I wore 3.5 in heels and this was the perfect length on me, but any shorter heel and it would have been. Get if you're willing to do all that work, skip if not.

Material is really slinky and nice. Has pockets which I think I liked but maybe add a bit of bulk to the hip area that's not needed.

Form fitting, gorgeous

I loved this- the print is so cool and unexpected! It was a little long on me but very sleek- it’s a heavier viscose so wouldn’t have worked if it was any warmer out but it was perfect for a late May wedding.
