Stunning shimmer in the sun ☀️

The dress itself is so beautiful it needed minimal styling to tie the look together. I had to go a size down due to availability—wasn’t ideal since I had my period, but the dress has stretch and it worked out. I still chose this over many other backups even though this was the smallest dress I received because it was so pleasing to the eye. Everyone loved the dress at the wedding! This dress is good for busty ladies and ideal for hourglass shapes.

Comfortable and easy-to-wear formal

Stretchy and forgiving. Plenty of room for the girls. Simple and almost casual cut with 3/4 length sleeve is balanced by bronze metallic fabric. It was confortable to wear all night.

I love anything Ralph Lauren Jersey dress. This one doesn’t disappoint. The sizing is the same as my closet full of other Jersey dresses of various length and style. The sparkle is not too over the top. I bought it.

Perfect Gala Gown

This was the PERFECT gala gown! I'm a size 12/14 and the 14L was a perfect fit. As you can see, the top has a deep plunging neckline, but I didn't care about that. I received compliments ALL night long!

I used a broach so the girls didn't hangout. However in a non-work event I would have skipped the broach. Received tons of compliments!

Mom-approved.

Rented this for mom to wear to the opera. Slimming and easy to wear. The only issue was the cleavage. You'd have to pin it OR, do what I did... use a (Covid) mask as a faux-cami to fill in the gap for pictures! Lolol!

Accentuates curves, low neckline. Larger busted women may need a pin…I almost did and I’m a B.

I attended a wedding and the dress was great!

The dress is beautiful! Pictures don't do it justice. And the fit is spot on! I appreciate the stretch so while dancing and having fun you're not worried. Its a little low cut, but why not show off the girls! Its a great dress for curvy/plus size women.

Perfect dress for a winter gala. Loved the long sleeves. The dress is low-cut so I added a black camisole underneath for modesty. Got many compliments.

Perfect fit, flattering and comfortable

I loved this dress. The material is beautiful and comfortable. It has a lot of “give” or stretch to it which makes it flattering for any size and shape. The long sleeves are great for a winter formal. I have long legs so I rented the “long” and wore with heels. It was the perfect length for me.

Could have gone with a 10, the 12 was just a little loose fitting, but it was fine. Thank

LOVE LOVE LOVE this dress!

Super comfortable and stretchy. I literally pulled it on over my head! It’s definitely more gold in person though. I wore it to a black tie gala and it was perfect for the occasion. I felt really good in it and I received compliments all night long on it. I normally wear a 14 bottom and XL top and the 16 was perfect. The 14 was a too snug for my liking. The V in the front is quite low but with a few safety pins it was good to go and didn’t budge all night. I’m also 5’4” and the regular length was perfect with a 3 inch heal!

Love this dress! Super comfortable yet elegant and sexy too.

Perfect for a winter black tie wedding. Petite sizing was perfect. Fit was super comfortable & flattering. I was able to wear a regular bra & smaller heels, didn’t even need to bother with shape wear. Felt elegant & sexy yet comfortable all night long. Dress received lots of compliments!

Fits like a glove

I was surprised by how much better the 8 fit than the 10. The lining allows you to go without a shawl-nice and warm for a holiday gala in the south (it was 61 degrees last night). I almost didn’t add a pin to keep the bust closed, glad I did but mostly for photo purposes to keep the black lining along the v-neck from peeking out. Loved the length for my 5’3” height. It looks more iridescent in person. A warm gold, almost bronze. Love how it was cut and shapes on the body. Also has little loops that button to anchor the dress via your bra straps on the inside. Got a lot of good compliments and shocked a few friends in a good way:-) I wish I had more places to go in it.

Nice quality

As other reviews have mentioned the dress is quite low cut and does require a pin to hold things together. I normally wear a 6 and feel an 8 would have been a better fit because the 6 was a bit snug. I would recommend sizing up for your backup size.

This dress is very flattering on a fuller figure. The material stretches nicely and gathers flatteringly at the midsection. The color is a bit more gold than black in-person.

Flattering fit

The ruching around the waist is flattering. Very deep v neck but conservative everywhere else. Long sleeve and due to the wrap style, no slit in skirt either or leg showing. The material was thicker and heavier than expected but perfect for cold nights. Gold thread throughout.

Beautiful dress!

Dress fit great. I could've used a size smaller. It is long so if your my height, 5'2" you will need at least 31/2" heels. Heavy but not overwhelmingly so. Packs like a dream. Doesn't wrinkle. Low cut. I put some stitches in mine to close the gap and then removed. Lots of compliments on it.

I felt confident in this dress. It hugged my curves in all the right places & was slightly stretchy.

I found the ''4 petite'' size to be the best fit and length. I'm 140 pounds and 5'4'' with an athletic/curvy figure and small breasts. I opted for the petite size so that the hem of the dress stopped just shy of the floor, as I didn't want the dress to drag or be a tripping hazard. I found the dress to be so comfortable and complimentary.

Lovely gown!

This fit true to size. It was very comfortable, with a stretchy fabric. It is gold in color, not the black that it appears in photos. Be warned that it is extremely low cut in front. I used 3 pins to make it more appropriate for the occasion. I am 5'3 and it touched the floor without heels. With 2" heels it hit at the lowest point of my ankle. I was very happy with the comfort and quality and the price.

Classy & Modest-ish

I wore this dress for a wedding that called for black-tie attire. As someone who dresses more modestly, I loved the sleeve length and dress length. The material was a little more clingy than I imagined (or would have liked), but it was flattering and if that’s something you’re into, this dress will definitely hug all the right places. The neckline was also quite plunging, but a small safety pin solved the issue easily. I wore the dress with 3.5” heels it fell perfectly in the R length for my 5’3 frame. All in all, beautiful dress for a formal event and especially for those looking for a more modest dress. Got so many compliments as well—so that was a plus!
