Such a classic look!

Fit was just slightly big - if you're right on the cusp of sizes I would size down.

Class act

The perfect dress for a formal occasion! The fit is so flattering, supported the right places while flaring out over insecurities in a new postpartum body. I felt fantastic in this dress and received so many compliments.

Gorgeous! Go up a size

Absolutely stunning. I got so many compliments. It's very well made. It's super fitted around the waist/chest with no stretch at all. If you're broad in that area or have a very big chest, it might not be the best style. I have big boobs but a really small rib cage so it worked well for me, but if my chest was any bigger I would have had too much cleavage. I couldn't wear a bra with it. I also DEFINITELY needed someone to help me zip. This is not a solo operation

Beautiful dress.

I was able to wear this dress without a bra, it’s essentially a corset top. Straps were a little too long, held down with tape. Ankle length on my 5’1 frame. Zipper takes some work, almost needed two people to zip.

So flattering!!

This is one of my favorite dresses I’ve ever worn. The a-line style is very forgiving and the fabric design is gorgeous! The only thing I would change were the little button-things inside the straps. They irritated my shoulders pretty bad.

Beautiful and flattering!

Loved this dress for a black tie work event. I would recommend to size up if you have a larger chest - the boning was tight and did not have much give so I needed help zipping my dress! Otherwise, it’s comfortable, has pockets & it very beautiful

Fit great and flattering

I wore the small, the medium back up was way too big. If you’re between sizes I’d probably size down! I’m typically a size 4 on top so the small was perfect given the flare bottom. The dress was really comfortable and flattering. Easy to wear a bra with too.

I felt so confident and stunning in this dress. It was one of my (and my husband’s) favorite items I’ve rented. The cut of the bodice is extremely flattering and fits like a glove. I got a million compliments!!

Adored this gown. Received compliments! Gorgeous fabric and subtle pattern. Perfect for a black tie event. Comfortable fit even though the straps were a little bit tight - it felt more secure that way. Can't wait to rent this again!

Elegant cocktail dress!

Wore for a pre-wedding cocktail party. I'm 5'3 and it hit just by my ankles. Chest area is a bit snug but the corset top is very flattering and snatches your waist.

Beautiful high quality dress

I don’t have a good photo of me in this dress but it was gorgeous and elegant, especially for the winter Paris wedding I wore it to. The jacquard is thick and high quality, keeping me warm. The bodice was well shaped and supportive—it wasn’t too tight but was very flattering on the body. I didn’t even need to wear a bra for this.

Wore to a cocktail wedding. I wish I could have kept this dress! My husband wanted to buy it for me. Fit was so flattering. There is a band around the bottom of the dress that helps hold a really beautiful shape. Would give it 6 stars if I could!

I love this dress. I’ve rented it twice now and most recently wore it for my birthday. I chose my usual size 6 and it was just right. It’s super elegant and the pattern and structure makes it unique. No bra needed - this will hold you right in. It was full length on me. I’ll probably rent it again!

Very classy and flattering

I didn’t end up wearing it to my event, but I would def rent it again for a formal wedding or fancy party. It has such a classic silhouette (very flattering for pear shaped girlies like me) and I liked that the shirt was weighted to avoid any wind related incidents.

On Par with Hollywood Glam

Absolutely loved this dress and it has pockets! Deep pockets. Perfect for my hosting duties at a Porche enthusiasts club, @pclubusa. The tightest part of the dress is the waist. I wore a size 12 and I have 30.5 inch waist. The size 14 was a bit large.
