Amazing dress, nothing about this dress was bad.

Wore this for the company holiday party I am a size 12, it fit just a little to snug. I wore the 14, and it fit like the dress was made just for me. I got lots of compliments, would recommend this elegant beauty for and formal occasion.

Amazing dress!

Beautiful dress that slipped on and fit so well. There was a give to the fabric as well so I was comfortable all night. I’m usually not a fan of a dress that you have to wear a strapless bra/tape in, but this dress is WORTH IT. I would rent again in a heartbeat, especially for a winter wedding!

Fit like a glove

The material is fairly stretchy and not too warm, great for an evening fundraiser in the fall that ended up being a bit warmer than expected

So versatile!

I wore this dress to a gala for work and got so many compliments. I ordered my usual dress size 14, but got a 12 as a back up based on other reviews saying it ran large. Ended up wearing the 12! It’s got hint of stretch which was perfect because I was running around. I was very tempted to keep it because it’s so flattering and comfortable. I wore cakes underneath it and they worked perfectly!

Great dress!!!

Loved the dress!! It runs a little large, I would size down. I wear an 8 and got this dress in a 6 and it fit perfect. I have large breast and it was a perfect fit and able to wear a strapless bra with no problem. Very comfortable fit and able to dance all night and eat dinner without feeling restricted. I’m petite, the dress fell below my knee. Would rent again!

Beautiful LBD!

This dress is gorgeous for a fancier cocktail/wedding look. I wore this to the Boston Ballet and it was perfect! The neckline and collar are so pretty, I prob didn’t need the pearls. But these are special pearls handed down, so I added them and felt all the more special! I found the short sleeve cuffs to but a bit tight, but not uncomfortably so. Strapless bra did not show in the back. The girls were showed off a bit cleavage-wise, so if that bothers you, maybe use this one as an alternative.

Perfect black dress that was comfortable

I received many compliments. I felt very comfortable in it. Fabric was very stretchy and probably could have gone down a size. Remember to wear a strapless bra with it.

Never Received So Many Compliments!

I wore this dress to a wedding where my boyfriend was the best man. I sent a photo to my best friend prior to the wedding and she told me she loved the dress. I brushed it off thinking she was just being a good friend lol. At the wedding, I had at least five more people come up to me and tell me how much they loved the dress! It’s also super comfortable as far as dresses go. Absolutely rent this dress!

Awkward Fit

I really wanted to love this one, but it was way too tight on the shoulders/top and I felt like I was choking. It also didn't conform to my back, so my butt went away entirely. I threw it on real quick with a sweater over it so that it looked like a velvet skirt and it looked okay, but the neck kept choking me, so I didn't wear it. The size up was WAY too big overall, so I ended up getting a replacement.

Nice dress for formal event

The dress was very roomy in the bust and midsection. You need to have a tight strapless bra if the night includes dancing since there is no banding or support in that area. The arms were fine for me but I could see that if you have wider arms it would be tight. Otherwise a very elegant and fun dress!

Runs a little small, so size up as it's extremely fitted. Dress is gorgeous!

This is a gorgeous cocktail dress and would be perfect for a wedding. Definitely need strappy heels to go with the piping on the top of the dress.

Elegant dress that fits true to size

Wore this to my company holiday party and got lots of compliments. When I told one fellow guest that the dress was a rental, she asked if I had had it tailored because it fit me so well. 😄 It was quite comfortable and once I got my strapless bra situated in the right place so it didn’t show through the sheer fabric, I didn’t worry about it for the rest of the night.

Flattering, classy and comfortable!

The velvet is lightly structured, but still stretchy and flattering. I loved the look of the sheer top, wore it with large earrings and no necklace. I ran around hosting our party in this dress and was always comfortable. Definitely would recommend this dress for any cocktail or work parties you have!
