Such a comfortable and flattering dress. It has a slight corset top which keeps you tucked in but not uncomfortable whatsoever! So stunning!

Perfect Look for an Upscale Holiday Date Night!

We wanted to go fancier for our Holiday date this year and this dress was perfect. It fits true to size and was very comfortable all night. I liked wearing one strap on the shoulder and left the other off.

Super comfortable with many compliments!

I wore this dress with strappy heels and silver earrings and clutch. Was super nice for a fall/winter event. I am 5’3 around 145 pounds and the 8 fit well! I do also have a larger bust which I was scared could be an issue, but it worked out well for me!

Made me feel like a goddess!!!!!

My favorite dress EVER. Fit me in all the right places and wasn't too revealing for someone with a big bust (looked classy from the front but does show cleavage when leaning down). The off the shoulder is great if you don't like to show too much of your upper arm. The inside has a corset with boning that clips secure, which helped my waist look snatched all night! The belly area was still stretchy and comfortable even with the corset too. Def need someone's help to clip and zip it up. 15/10!

Great quality & beautiful dress!

Excuse the photo; we unfortunately had a death in the family so I was unable to attend the gala I rented it for, hence the lack of a good photo! The quality of this dress is great and it's very flattering on the chest area. I felt the off-shoulder portion was a bit big on me, I'm a 34DDD but I have a lower tummy (mom foopa, haha!). This dress fit well on my body overall and I'd rent it again. It's beautiful! #messyphoto #galadress #gala #fundraiser #littleblackdress #tryonphoto

Super flattering for black-tie wedding

I LOVED this dress. I ordered both a 6R and 8R but ended up wearing the 6R. Both sizes fit, but the 8R had a little too much room in my hips. The dress is so well made, and the boning in the top means you don't need a bra. I was still comfortable after wearing the dress for hours--can't recommend enough!

Could have been tighter but was comfortable with sleeves up.

Was able to safety pin the bra which made the top tighter. Length was great.

unique, chic dress for black tie wedding!!!

You will stand out in this dress, and it will look incredible on you!!! Got sooo many compliments and really hugged my body so well! 11/10, you need this dress for your next formal event. Wore to a black tie optional and it was impeccable. Wore size 6 (honestly could of sized down but loved the extra room); height 5'9 1/2, waist 27, bust 34C. Length was perfect, and material is so stretchy!!

Feeling like Jessica Rabbit ! ;)

So fab & snug in a good way! So many compliments! Wore a garment underneath just to keep everything in the right place. The zipper was tough to close as it seemed a bit overworked and got stuck but that was my only complaint. Fabric is different than it appears online and it's very stretchy.

Perfect fit. I felt so good in this dress.

The fit was perfect and it even has an extra cinch inside to really snatch your waistline (kind of just like a tight bra strap around your natural waist). I felt incredible in this dress and I got so many compliments. It stayed up and I wasn't adjusting it at all the whole night. It has just the right amount of stretch. The dress came with a few rips I think just from normal wear but they were barely noticeable to me and didn't get in the way of me wearing the dress.

Obsessed

I wore this to a formal black tie wedding in Las Vegas, and it looked amazing! I received so many compliments and everyone wanted to know where my dress was from. It also had a but in corset that squeezes in all the right spots. I'm 5'2, 36 D cup, with a small waist but larger hips/butt, and this looked incredible on me. Highly recommend!

This look was my back up, but it was an amazing choice!

This look ended up being a bit too formal for the event I attended but I loved it when I tried it on! It hugged everything really nicely and the length was just right for a smaller heel. Definitely saving this one for future reference!

Photographs REALLY well!

Because I couldn't have a big birthday bash (thanks COVID) I did a photoshoot instead. This dress was absolutely perfect and very flattering. It was classy and elegant but the ruffled neckline made it feel very chic and high fashion. I have a wide ribcage/larger chest so I had to size up for a comfortable fit but still could've worn the smaller size in a pinch.

This dress fit perfect! I ordered the 4 and the 6 and went with the 6 because it was less tight around the bust but the 4 looked perfect! If it was a different event I would have wore the smaller size

Black tie formal wedding

Rented the 4R and 2R. Both fit well but I went with the 2R — the 4R was a little too loose on top and I thought I would have to keep pulling it up. Loved the ruffle detail. More elevated than a basic long black dress. Felt glamorous and received a lot of compliments!

Classy cut, thick material and very comfortable. The 6R is slightly loose but preferred over too tight. The off the shoulder cut lends an elegant sexy aspect to the dress. Would rent again. Worn to a black tie event and received many compliments.

Perfect fit, great for black tie

I am usually either a 0 or a 2 and the 0 fit perfectly. Very comfortable, easy to dance in, not too long - I only needed 2 inch heels. Due to the structure in the bodice, the dress stays up fairly well despite being strapless which is impressive.

Simple, elegant and comfortable

I ordered this dress for a black tie gala. It was extremely comfortable and nice and sturdy through the off-shoulder bodice. I sized up to a 12 to get a little more movement through the rib cage, but it still fit comfortably through the chest and didn’t feel insecure. Big fan of this one- got lots of compliments!

This dress was amazing! I got compliments all night. Cannot recommend it enough. It did slip a bit at points so boob tape might’ve been helpful but otherwise it was perfect!
