Great for petites with heels! MUST rent!

Wore this in Rome, gorgeous dress. I wanted to get the petite size, but there was only the Regular available. With 3" heels it was the perfect length on me. Felt gorgeous if you're looking for a WOW fall dress. As you can see from the pics, the dress can show more red or a deeper burgundy color (the latter is the color more in real life).

Yeah this is the one. I am very small (5’0 XS) and the petite could have been maybe a smidge shorter but honestly much better than most dresses. Gorgeous person

Stunner and so unique!

I wore this to the Met Opera and it was so elegant and chic. I ordered a small and a medium and went with the medium, because despite the dress being super flowy, the waist was just a smidge tight on the small and there is no stretch. I did not need boob tape because it wasn’t super plunging, but a larger breasted woman might; it’s totally backless so you cannot wear a bra. Still getting compliments about this look! Rent this!

Gorgeous - tons of compliments - get it now!

This dress is absolutely stunning. The color and dramatic draping and pleats work so well together. Topaz blue and gold accessories were the perfect choice adding extra punch to the look. The front has a deep cut, I had to secure with fabric tape.

Comfortable, easy, flattering, gorgeous

This dress was a PERFECT choice for a cocktail dress code wedding with the request that everyone be “fashion forward and fun.” Also the perfect choice for someone who wants a little more coverage on arms and tummy without looking dowdy or frumpy. The dress screams “i have interesting taste!” while still being completely easy to wear. I opted for a backless bra and fashion tape to keep everything where i wanted it, and it worked great. I loved that the dress was very breezy while still keeping my arms covered because my arms aren’t my favorite feature at the moment, but i hate to be hot. I got ENDLESS compliments on the dress from absolutely everyone. Highly recommend!

Elegant and comfortable

Absolutely loved wearing this dress, gorgeous fit, flattering on any shape I’d say, extremely comfortable. Endless compliments all night. The neckline is low, but the strap on the back of the neck when tightened keeps the front of the dress flush with your chest. I traveled with it and no ironing needed because of the beautiful pleating. Cannot recommend enough.

Stunning Old Hollywood Glamour

Doesn't photograph nearly as elegant as it looks in person, because it's really all about the draping and movement of the fabric. Makes you feel expensive. Did not stop turning heads and getting compliments all night. Make sure you get the right size for your ribcage (waist has no give), then adjust the sliding back strap, put on heels, and a bit of fashion tape for the rest. *Pro Tip: Just put one thick piece of tape slightly behind each of your shoulders, pull up the front of the dress to where it's flat on your chest, hold the fabric down firm on top of your shoulders, and have it hold from there - if the tape is good, it'll stay put, and avoids any puckering from taping down the actual front of the V. The dress didn't move all night for me!

Total Knockout

I wore this for a black tie wedding and received endless compliments! The cool accordion design makes it extremely easy and fun to wear. It's a low V front and back, so I used fashion tape and sticky bra. A little tight in the waist but the rest of the dress fit me better than the SP!

What A Glamorous Dress!

I felt like a fashion icon in this dress. It was so different than anything else I saw the night of the event but the pleats kept it somewhat classic. The fit was perfect. As you can tell it’s a lot of fabric but with four pieces of double sided tape (and a lot of good posture) everything stayed where it should. The length was interesting. I’m so short and yet it barely grazed the ground without shoes. Make sure to pair with great shoes as they will be seen!

Perfect dress for the night!

This dress was just as perfect as the reviews. It was comfortable, a little heavier of a material, but cool and flowy. The back didn’t sit as great as the photo showed on the model, it was a little too floppy, but felt comfortable all night! Plus it photographed well for our engagement ❤️💍 I would rent this again! I did wear my back up size because the waist was too tight on the smaller one.

Obsessed

I wore this dress to a gala for work. I wanted something work appropriate, but also a little dramatic, and this dress delivered. The large fit; however, I needed a pal to help get the zipper over the seam in the back. I was coming straight from work and changed in the office bathroom, I opted to wear the XL since I didn’t want to ask a random woman to help zip me. The XL was a little loose around my waist, but that allowed me to eat and drink without feeling too constricted. I used a little bit of fabric tape to ensure the placement of the front, but overall I wasn’t worried about any slippage due to the strap in the back holding the sleeves in place. I’m 5’4, and the length was perfect— it hit at the top of my feet, and with 3 inch heels, I was not worried about it dragging at all. 10/10 would order this dress again.

Endless Complaints

I was a bit hesitant with this dress but it turned out to be wonderful. Wore it to a work gala event. It’s slightly sexy, but still very sophisticated. The pleats are very flattering and the color was just right. It’s a bit heavy but I wore it for about 5 hours and it was comfy.

I’d rent it a thousand times over

Boob tape was a must. The waist was quite restrictive, but the larger of the two sizes (MR vs SR) nearly fell off of me, so I went with the smaller. I have a long torso with petite legs, but appreciated the length of the R. (But maybe a petite would have hiked up the waist a bit?). I loved the material, the feel, the flow; I’ve truly never received so many compliments on a dress in my life.

Comfortable and fun!

The dress code was red flowy dresses… this one was a perfect fit for salsa dance lessons! I used a little fashion tape on the low cut front, and FYI it will require a backless bra ( I used a stick on) It’s fun, unique, and beautiful 💃🏼

100% Stunner!

First of all, it travels beautifully. I attended my bestie’s military ball right after a wedding so I had to change in the car between events. Easy to style. This gown does all the heavy lifting. I received so many compliments and felt covered in all the right places. I’m an average size 10 and got the petite large. I wore a burgundy body suit underneath and recommend fashion tape to keep the neckline from traveling. I forgot it and messed with the drape all evening. 10/10 would rent again and execute better.

I received compliments all night long! Wore to a gala that took place in a Dali art exhibit and was perfect for the occasion. To wear, had to use boob tape and garment tape- plunging/backless bras will not cut it for C cup and bigger.

Perfect for Dinner and a Play!

This dress was a showstopper! I got SO MANY compliments when we went to dinner and a play in downtown Seattle! I am 5’5 132ish pounds and wore the XS. The waist has no give, but it’s obviously very forgiving everywhere else. I didn’t wear a bra bc of the back but didn’t need one bc the fabric was thick and it wasn’t an issue. I felt beautiful and was so sorry to send it back. Honestly, I’ll probably buy it. Rent this one, it’s worth it! Classy and beautiful.

Gorgeous, Grecian. Need tape. Small waist!

Wore happily to a wedding on Valentine’s Day. Got some kind compliments on the dress’ “elegance”, and its open back. If you’re wondering, yes you absolutely need double sided fashion tape for the front. I am an A-cup but still needed tape so the dress didn’t gap when I leaned forward, and so it didn’t shift on my shoulders and open too wide. About 3 strips of tape on each side of the deep V. The dress zips at the back and the waist line is non-elastic and quite snug, such that I was OK with my normal size 6, but could have gone up 1 size to an 8. Because it was winter, I paired it with black, pointed toe, stiletto heeled, knee high, suede boots.
