I wore this for Thanksgiving dinner and felt super elegant and classy, and was getting compliments all night. I ended up purchasing because I love it so much!

The sleeves are tight at the cuff which was why I sized up. This was a comment by other reviewers. Otherwise not much difference between the small and medium. 

I am 5'7", 160lbs, and carry my weight mostly in my mid-section. This dress seemed to create a nice waist-line, but the medium (a size I still often wear) wouldn't even zip. Very glad I had the Large too! My event was an outdoor farm-to-table dinner that I was emceeing, and it felt very warm and comfortable. I got a zillion compliments.

If you're on the fence: go up a size! The back has ties that can draw the bodice in as tightly as you like, so it won't look frumpy if you size up.

I wore this for my son’s wedding. I got so many compliments. It fit well, and was perfect for a fall evening wedding. 

Comfortable and true to size, great for holiday parties 

Dress is very chic! I was initially skeptical at the high neckline and worried it looked stuffy, but after dressing it up with heels and earrings, it looked elegant. There is no stretch in the waist. I ordered the 4 and the 6, but ultimately wore the 4 because I felt the 6 looked to bulky in the chest. I received many compliments!

Loved this for a winter wedding. Just about fit so may be tight if you have a bit more around the middle. 

Beautiful material and color for Christmas photos. Adding a belt helped to give it more shape, it ran big around the waist/torso but otherwise fit true to size. Material was lighter than expected and I was cold in 50 degree weather, but could be paired with tights and a coat to stay warm. 

This dress fits just right and is perfect for the holidays. The open back is a dream. I wore this for family photos and had SO many compliments. Would be perfect for a dressy party, photos, or fancy holiday gathering.

Wore this dress from day to night .. work to a cocktail hour to support a non profit. 

Got a ton of compliments saying how this dress is very unique, rich looking, people asking where I got it. 

Highly recommend. I am 5’2 and hit right above ankle. I wore a top underneath to not show skin on the back. 

The deep green is elegant & dress was slimming. 

Highly recommend. 

Wore this to officiate a wedding in December and it was PERFECT. Absolutely stunning dress. Modest yet cute and fitted enough to still feel pretty!

I wore this dress to a work holiday party. It’s a deep green velvet that looks black in low light and it’s very warm so may be better for outdoor winter events. You’d need a stick on bra for support as the back is open, but don’t need spanx since the skirt is looser. Very comfortable and classy. 

It's tight at the arm band which comes to around the elbow and was not flattering to my upper arm /elbow excess fat. The length is good and the material is very pretty for a well lit party but in dim light it just looks black. The back is pretty with it being open but the ties are odd and don't lie flat. The front with the high neck is so matronly. I wore it with black tall boots.

Perfect fit, TTS! The material was nice and heavy, was great for an outdoor late October wedding. Could see this being perfect for holiday parties.  

I wore this to a Fall wedding and it was perfect for the weather! I loved the fabric - it was super soft but also heavy/warm, I never got cold! The color is gorgeous in the sunlight but it does read as black in low light. It was too tight around my waist, so if you’re worried about fit there, I’d recommend sizing up. But otherwise, I got a ton of compliments and would definitely rent this dress again!

i wore this for christmas eve and an engagement party and got so many compliments. it was perfect for a texas winter!!

Pros: this dress is classy, warm, and fun to wear. It’s a lovely color and fabric and I was comfortable in it all day. It fit right in at the wedding I was attending and I felt great in it. Worn with heels, it was even a perfect length for my fellow petites!

Cons: The waist was *almost* too tight on this, and I had to pin the zipper in place to keep it from falling down (there’s no hook). The ties are  a little tricky to negotiate, but it looked really cute when all was said and done. 

This dress was very warm and comfortable for a chilly evening. The color is almost black so with the conservative cut/length I did feel like I could have worn it to a funeral as easily as for a date. Fit TTS - needed help to tie the back.

This dress feels like a million bucks.  The zipper wouldn’t zip the last inch or so but luckily the bottom bow covered it and you couldn’t see.  I wish I would have had more places to wear it before I sent it back but I’m keeping it in my holiday short list.  I wore it with some strappy gold sandals.

Although this wasn't my usual style (more conservative than I usually am) it was a good dress for a holiday dinner with family. My husband liked it. The fit was TTS and the back was stunning. Garnered compliments. Great quality - a thick velvet. 

I did not want to send this dress back; it fit perfectly, hit mid-calf, a gorgeous deep green, heavy velvet dress. This dress was made for a MN (work) holiday party!

I ordered a L and XL and wore the L. The arm cuffs (near the elbow) were slightly tighter than I would prefer so if you have larger arms, I suggest sizing up. 

I will say, for bigger busted ladies that require a standard bra, this dress is not for you. If you are comfortable going bra-less or wearing a sticky style bra, you’re good to go. 

Nice dress, very conservative/traditional in the front. Open back creates a bit of chill which partly defeats the purpose of wearing velvet in the winter. Big surprise for me was the color, I expected it to be more green but in most light it looks black. It was true to size or on the small side so if in doubt size up

such a fab look! The length wasn't my fave but with heels, it worked!
