Great for a formal event

Loved this dress. Unfortunately, I didn't end up wearing it to an event because was a little too fancy for what I was going to, so I will rent it again sometime. I usually wear a 4 but had to size up to 6. The back wouldn't zip up otherwise. I have small boobs but wide lats so if you have a bigger chest/back area in any way you should size up.

Stunner

So I was in between the XS (my normal size) and S, but I knew this has to be super form fitting to really stand out. Thankfully my sister has weirdly strong hands and was able to clip and zip. If it clips it zips! It was very tight, but I was till able to sit, dance, bend down, no problem! The strength of the zipper is top notch. I received so many compliments and felt like a class act in this dress. Rent it!

I loved this dress!

She was tight on me but there was enough stretch to pull it off. If I were to rent again I’d go up one size. It was stunning. I received so many compliments. Perfect for my height.

Slinky & comfortable

Body skimming fit, but not overly tight. The ruching at the waist and hips helped camouflage any imperfections. I didn’t feel the need to wear a bra.

Trust the zipper

I have to say it first I thought this was a little plain, but I ended up absolutely loving it and it held everything in really well. Another review mentioned it needed a fit really snug so I actually went with the smaller size and I’m really glad I did and I did put a lot of trust in the zipper, but I got so many compliments

Classic, Flattering, and Tight

5’7, 36-28-42. Length was perfect. It zipped fine, was form fitting, but I think a smidge too tight. However I could sit and walk so it worked. The dress and cut are so pretty! I wore 1” heels and the length was perfect, hit at my ankles. To me, the dress has that “old money” feel/aesthetic.

Slim in all the right places

Loved the fit of this dress and the light blue halt strap detail- simple yet very chic. Even though the dress is form fitting, the fabric in the waist area is slight scrunched so even after eating a full meal you can’t seek my postfood belly lol

Compliments !!

Wore to an engagement party and got lots of compliments! Def tight fitting but super comfy. I will say the halter seems like it’s supposed to be white but looks like the blue from the dress dyed it a darker color

Classic and flattering!

I wore this to a summer black tie wedding and it was great! I was really hesitant to order this because it’s pretty boring, but a fun updo and makeup really made it more me. The fit was very flattering and the white strap hit just right on me(be warned it is not adjustable though!) It was pretty tight around my butt and hips, and I am not the curviest person. The clasp did break at the end of the night (not due to anything I did). I would recommend for a classic and safe option!

Small is small

I rented a size small and it was snug! It looks great but if felt a bit uncomfortable. I’d try a medium next time. Also, I’m only 5’5 and this dress went to my ankles. I went for a more casual look so I wore flat sandals. I couldn’t really figure out a heel to work with this dress due to the length (or lack thereof). It’s a great dress, I’d just suggest sizing up.

Got so many compliments on this dress! So beautiful and especially for someone with a wider back and broader shoulders (like me) it was extremely flattering at the top. 10/10!

Form fitting and comfortable!

I loved this dress, it was so flattering. You can’t really tell on the pictures, but it’s kind of bunched through the midriff section. I had to adjust these sometimes to not bunch too much, but was not a huge deal, especially for a rental. Great dress! Petite approved!

This form fitting dress was actually surprisingly comfortable, I was able to dance all nice in it! Wore a sticky bra so my boobs still looked great but it is the sexiest I have felt in a very long time!

Fit very tight but was flattering and comfy. Just be aware there’s not a lot of room for stretch! Loved it though, although the halter is rather sporty and not very fancy looking.

Firehouse but tight in the hips

I’m 5’5 and smaller too, wider hips typically a 4. This fit but was very tight to sit in. I couldn’t have gone up as the top would have been too small but just not the best sitting dress for long periods of time!
