Stunning!

This dress is stunning. 2 issues: 1. the zipper is tough to zip up, it wasn’t too tight. Just a hard zipper. 2. I wish it was a little bit more closed in the front but some double sided tape saved the day!

My Fave ever!!!

This dress was AMAZING. I feel incredible in it. I wore out to a fancy Valentine’s dinner with my husband and to a cocktail & chocolate tasting. It is very low cut, I wore a lace bandeau underneath but if you’re comfy with the cleavage - go on girl!! Rent the dress!!

I got so many compliments!

I loved this dress! It was perfect for a fall wedding. I did have to use double sided tape in my chest area since I’m so small chested. But, that worked perfect! I felt pretty and comfortable all night long!

Fashion Tape Necessary! <3

Absolutely LOVED this dress. I would rent again, 10/10. I'm between 4 and 6 and went with the 6 so I could breathe and dance the night away. I knew when I rented it that fashion tape would be necessary, so I was fully prepared - very flattering for smaller-chested gals. Stunning details, especially the velvet shimmering under brighter lights!

Dare I Say Best Dressed Wedding Guest

Wanted some coverage for a winter wedding by the beach but still wanted some fun. My husband pick this one for me and he was WISE. I had an awesome night in this dress. Strangers came up to compliment. Gays questioned their sexuality. Go for it!

I received so many compliments in this dress. I love a deep plunge neckline. I used double-sided sticky nipple covers.

Loved this dress

I rented this dress as a backup for a formal wedding and while I didn’t end up wearing it, I did wear it to date night and it’s a stunner. Get some fashion tape for the chest and you’ll be golden. Like the other reviews said, you can’t really move your arms but it’s worth it.

elegant, length ideal for a petite frame.

I was able to wear this beauty with a plunging bra and a little bit of garment tape because I am small busted. I was also able to dance comfortably all night long. Received many compliments!

Halloween wedding

This dress was perfect for a formal Halloween weekend wedding in NY. Needed fashion tape to make sure there were no gaps. As others mentioned, I couldn’t fully lift my arms. But I did appreciate the empire waist meant no shape wear was needed! FYI the dress isn’t very long. Fine with heels but it wouldn’t have looked right if I was wearing flats. All that side the vibe was perfect and I got so many compliments. Would definitely recommend.

Gorgeous comfortable and so many compliments!

I loved this dress. Im 5’ tall and it fit as a full length dress. I did safety pin the middle to keep everything secure. Bottom was more shear than I realized but it was lovely for an outdoor wedding.

LOVED! TTS and sexy!

Get dress tape or Top Stick (men’s grooming tape, aka toupee strips) to make sure your chest isn’t exposed. The sleeves are sheer and the under slip is shorter leaving the bottom of the dress sheer as well. Got tons of compliments and felt like a million bucks.

GORGEOUS dress

This was an absolutely stunning dress that I wore to a wedding in Brooklyn. ENDLESS compliments! There isn’t a lot of give in the rib cage but the sizing is on point so go with whatever you would normally wear. My dress tape was doing a LOT of overtime - not sure how you could swing this with a bra, but as an A cup there was definitely a bit of gapping. I also couldn’t lift my arms up so keep that in mind if your standard dance moves include raising the roof.

Gorgeous but very low cut

The dress was gorgeous and the velvet detailing was beautiful. However, it is pretty much wide open in the front. If you have boobs it will be very revealing which I was a little self conscious about (especially sitting down). In retrospect I probably could have taped the front down with fashion tape but it still would have been pretty low cut anyways.

This dress fit TTS for me. The neckline was seriously low for me, but I was able to make it work with some tape and pins. Perfect for the formal wedding we attended.

Very low cut

The skirt and sleeves were sheer. The dress was beautiful. The only part I did not like was how much was exposed up top. There was not enough fabric to cover my chest so I chose to wear a bandeau to keep it classy.

Perfect Holiday dress

This was my backup for another dress I thought I would love but this ended up working out better. It's a statement dress for sure. Perfect with heels for a petite. I just needed to add a pin because the V was so deep.

Sexy but classy dress

Received so many compliments. Everyone loved it. Only negative is the v-neck needs to be taped onto chest area to avoid from exposing others. Fits true to size. Wore a size 2 and weigh 120lbs.

Beautiful, STUNNING gown, just too big in the bust

Wow! Loved this dress, I got so many compliments. I'm 5'2" and didn't feel like this was dragging on the ground, event wearing flats (YAY). Biggest problem was the bust. I'm basically and A-cup and this had huge gaps in the bust for me. Luckily I had one safety pin but it barely lasted the night, I was constantly worried about flashing everyone. If I had a big bust, this would have been way too revealing for my gala. I am thinking of purchasing the dress and just having it sewed, that's how much I loved it.

Prob works better or ladies with larger breasts

My bust was not big enough to fill this dress in chest area (I’m also short waisted so V was too revealing for this event) very cute dress but couldn’t wear it without a safety pin / tape or bralette underneath

deeper v than you think

Love the concept, but the v neck was so so so deep. Why isn't there a picture of the model straight on? I temporarily stitched it up a few inches (and there was still an acceptable amount of cleavage! the photo is from after I stitched it up a bit). Another - more pressing issue depending on your taste for plunging necklines - is that the armhole is too low, so it's hard to lift your arms. Also the seam on the right arm totally frayed apart probably because of the delicate mesh fabric... I managed to stitch it closed enough to work for the evening, and got tons of compliments, but be prepared for a few wardrobe emergencies. Also the form requires you to answer too small, just right, or too large to how did it fit, and I would say it was all of those things in different places. I put just right because it fit in the waist where it kind of mattered, though...

Beautiful dress. Very very very low neckline. I am a 34 (full C) and it was very low and a bit loose on me. I wore it with a black low cut bralette and it worked well.

Perfect (for the small chested gals)

This dress was perfect for a winter wedding! Got so many compliments and felt so pretty in this! With liberal use of fashion tape, there was no nip slips, but I was thinking how idk if I’d have been comfortable if I was any bigger chested than my A cup. The V is deep and the dress was perfectly true to size, but didn’t allow for much more room in the chest region!

BEAUTIFUL AND CLASSY!!! UNIQUE TOO!

I did use a tight neck up black top inside because I'm conservative. But it fit well. Usually a size 10 but so glad for the backup size. Wore it with sparkle black booties and I didn't have to wear spandex. Got complements like no other gown I own! It's a girls dress! Every girl LOVED IT!
